it was because walmart demanded games to be released on CD for a super long time and since they were the biggest retailer publishers had no choice but to comply

esr typifies the smart nerd with zero self-awareness showered with early validation that has ironclad his inflated sense of self.

he is unable to entertain the possibility that whatever he thinks might be wrong, and if you’d ask him, he would say that he is just analyzing the facts and is in no way emotionally involved in most issues he preaches about.

his weird ramblings about sex and violence betray that he’s not very familiar with either, even though he probably honestly thinks he’s a Class A dangerous weapon on the streets and in the sheets.

I don’t think he’s a bad person, I just think he doesn’t have the slightest idea on how others perceive him and his ramblings and being an intelligent person he’s way too smart to understand what an idiot he is.

but hes not smart

and he is a racist, making him definitely a bad person

  1. I will shoot any person engaging in arson or other life-threatening behavior, issuing a warning to cease first if safety permits.

  3. White rioters, on the other hand, will be presumed to be Antifa Communists attempting to manipulate this tragedy for Communist political ends; them I consider “enemies-general of all mankind, to be dealt with as wolves are” and will shoot immediately, without mercy or warning.

I used HotLine to download my warez and it could resume downloads so :cool:

Also a couple times I exchanged CDRs with foreign nationals, which was probably doubly illegal. We all printed jewel case covers and everything. I think I have the psd file somewhere still, it was terrible

codecs developed fast right around then

i remember i had a vcd of the matrix that looked pretty good, but like a half year later, i got another one that was uh variable bitrate vcd? iirc only some hardware could play it as opposed to regular vcd, which could generally be played

big image quality difference tho

what was that about, i guess some manufacturers gave less of a poo poo / supported more codecs? i wonder if those lovely old "vbr vcd"s are divx or something

hell yeah svcd was definitely a thing. god what a mess

my parents got a c&d letter like a decade ago so im not allowed to download movies at their house anymore lol

tbh its better that way cause getting the right subs was a massive chore. i did my best, but even if i managed to sync them up (literally, with uh the app that has a parrot as an icon, i changed runtimes and stuff), but the translations were just very bad and obviously written by some teenager and i had to narrate the movie for my mom anyway

extremely late but I think you're talking about kvcd which modified something or other about the (quantization? convolution?) matrix. it might have also lowered the horizontal resolution because vertical resolution was more important on crappy crts . i remember messing about with it in tmpgenc when i had a zest for life and a desire to spend several hours of my time just to watch raiders of the lost ark on an actual tv rather than stare at the wall

haha yes, kvcd!!

Some C64 game would click the cassette drive motor for sound effects.

wouldnt think that was possible, the tape drive was extremely simple & i would assume the motors were only controllable with the buttons on the drive itself

the disk drive was controlled by the computer & could do fun stuff

also both had lovely firmware so there were a lot of turbo loaders around (both as hardware cartridges or ones you loaded from your turbo disk first)

Not 100% sure about c64, but the add on tape drives for the BBC micro had a control line for stopping and starting the tape automatically.


( Rem being remote control )

at least the one i had was fully manual



youd also save stuff by hitting record when the program prompted you, or before hitting return on your own SAVE command
