Not that they were a great company to begin with, but nice one Mike Ashley, killed off another brand basically

Archive.org still exists and still has DMCA immunity*, you can get no-intro, goodset & redump sets on there. There is a gap in PC game ISOs currently though afaik, but steam and gog do seem to be good for covering most releases

Failing legal options, those sets will be available forever via BitTorrent

*If you’re in the US, please make sure your representative knows how important it is this continues—well, unless they’re a republican, in which case, probably better they stay oblivious if they don’t already know.

Probably jumping on the popularity of retro gaming

BunG-man

I don’t know if this is a new meme format or not, but I’ve enjoyed seeing it on my feed today

Am I being cynical or oblivious when I see that history and assume it’s mostly bullshit?

For you, sure! For me, it’s a decimal point

Could be onto a winner, but we need to know more about the sandwich

Goddamn, if that’s a cubano…

Ah that’s good to know, might be one for 86box then

That makes a lot of sense actually, I’m convinced this is the case

It must have taken a pause at least because I saw him 9 years ago in a field in the UK

Fantastic musician, but as you say, definitely a bit weird

Kinda as all the greats are, really

The George in the photo has had way more impact than the one in the article IMO

Parliament & Funkadelic have made some of the most important contributions to modern music

I’m now wondering if OP is in a locale that flips the thousand separator with the decimal point or if their update client is proposing 2 updates and roughly 10% of a third

The joke works for both

I would also suggest the modern emulated alternatives if you struggle to get hold of the original hardware

MT32-pi: https://github.com/dwhinham/mt32-pi (covers the MT-32 & CM-32, can also do some general midi with sound fonts, so in theory you could emulate a soundcanvas too)

Then there’s the sound cards too

PicoGUS: https://github.com/polpo/picogus/ (emulates a Gravis Ultrasound, SB2, AdLib, Tandy & also the MPU401 if you do end up with real midi hardware)

Also gonna just drop the goldlib too: https://pcmidi.eu/goldlib.html but that one might be a bit separate from what OP is currently doing

Yes to all of those, though I never actually played empire earth, so that goes on my modern day list

ME is a bold choice regardless—those installs always seem to destroy themselves before long in my experience (admittedly from quite a while ago now)

As for games (in no particular order):

• Command & Conquer (basically all of them up to including RA2)
• Diablo 2
• Warcraft 3
• Dungeon Keeper
• Theme Hospital
• Rollercoaster Tycoon (and RCT2)
• Unreal Tournament 99
• Fury 3/Terminal Velocity
• Z
• Age of Empires 1 & 2
• Pharaoh & Caesar 3
• MechWarrior 3
• Serious Sam
• Sim City 3000
• Quake 2 & 3
• Half Life
• Deus Ex

I’m definitely forgetting some

I’ve not heard that track in like a decade

Thanks

Which airline? I’m never flying with them

In Atmos, channels going in doesn’t necessarily align with channels coming out

Speaker setups are regarding channels going out, a jack like the one in the OP would be an input jack as no speaker would need more than two poles

Delete: not sure I’m actually adding anything with this
