I know you can import .midi files, it might work by exporting as a MIDI (if possible) and trying it that way?

I do wish they’d include some CRT shaders on their version of DOSbox though. Lots of those games’ pixels were never meant to be seen by the naked human eye.

Remember Madison Cawthorn?

And file explorer, and the start menu, and the task bar, and Outlook…

The only people who believe it are just looking for a reason. Being a stupid reason works for them, because it pisses off their opposition for caring about reality.

They see it as a double win: no need to think about it, and the people they hate are upset.

Cowards complying in advance.

It depends largely on how expensive your car is and the color of your skin.

Nazis are like cockroaches: filthy shit-eaters that you have to keep stomping every time they return.

From Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation by Kristen Kobes du Mez

Antecedents can be found in nineteenth-century southern evangelicalism and in early-twentieth-century “muscular Christianity,” but it was in the 1940s and 1950s that a potent mix of patriarchal “gender traditionalism,” militarism, and Christian nationalism coalesced to form the basis of a revitalized evangelical identity. With Billy Graham at the vanguard, evangelicals believed that they had a special role to play in keeping America Christian, American families strong, and the nation secure. The assertion of masculine power would accomplish all these goals.

By the 1960s, the civil rights movement, feminism, and the Vietnam War led many Americans to question “traditional” values of all kinds. Gender and sexual norms were in flux, America no longer appeared to be a source of unalloyed good, and God did not in fact appear to be on her side. Evangelicals, however, clung fiercely to the belief that America was a Christian nation, that the military was a force for good, and that the strength of the nation depended on a properly ordered, patriarchal home. The evangelical political resurgence of the 1970s coalesced around a potent mix of “family values” politics, but family values were always intertwined with ideas about sex, power, race, and nation. Feminism posed a threat to traditional womanhood, and also to national security by removing from men their duty to provide and protect and opening the door to women in military combat. In similar fashion, Vietnam was not just a national security issue, but also a crisis of masculinity. Civil rights, too, dismantled time-honored traditions and destabilized the social order. Representing federal government overreach or even an insidious communist agenda, desegregation also heightened the long-standing imagined threat to white womanhood, and to the power of white men to police social and sexual boundaries. The reassertion of white patriarchy was central to the new “family values” politics, and by the end of the 1970s, the defense of patriarchal power had emerged as an evangelical distinctive.

I had more fun with Jurassic Park: Trespasser and Die By the Sword than I should have just because they had early physics engines.

I actually wonder if Trespasser would make a good VR conversion.

I had a ton of fun with Dragon’s Dogma 2. The quests are kind of basic, but the combat is incredible and the traversal is actually compelling.

They do very interesting mechanics with the open world, too.

Also, I’m sick of these entitled sacks of bone and smeg being able to do whatever they want. Being told “no” must be a completely alien concept to them.

Got to be either a full English breakfast or a Cornish pasty.

a lot of people do dislike the franchise for multiple reason, the mission structure being one.

I played Dragon’s Dogma 2, and realized that has the kind of mission structure that I would really love in a GTA or RDR game. Even if the missions in DD2 weren’t all that great themselves, they didn’t end the mission and send you back to the start even if an important character died. The quests weren’t quarantined off in a part of the open world, they were embedded within it.

Unfortunately, pianos come with strings attached.

I’m enjoying your posts, it’s really neat to see retro game tech from China; I really didn’t know what was available there since western journalists don’t really cover it.

Oh, that’s absolutely what is happening. They want the advantages that living in a big city provides, but in the most antisocial way possible.

They’re actual leaches on society.

Highland Park is ridiculous; pay millions of dollars for a generic house just inches from your neighbors giant mansion.

I think people just like the prestige, because living there looks miserable for such an expensive neighborhood.
