I don't even have a physician currently. I guess I can try at least getting an EKG tomorrow since that appears to be the only thing I can get without an appointment, at one of those walk in health clinics on street corners. God, American healthcare is terrible. npub1hcpjcghqee4r0cwsddpsegp4sul73urekyerg6xcj40wgktpzt6qrt7nwy Anatoly Shashkin💾 @npub16rs…rvtk Not currently npub1hcpjcghqee4r0cwsddpsegp4sul73urekyerg6xcj40wgktpzt6qrt7nwy Anatoly Shashkin💾 Finished a 9 episode docu-series "History of Russian Computer Games". It was alright. Tons of inaccuracies & omissions. Last couple of episodes are embarrassing because the doc is state sponsored & pushes a current Rusian agenda. But it was nice to see some of the 80s & 90s devs & hear them talk. Also a pretty big public admission by the founder of Akella in regards to also owning a legendary 90s pirate publishing label. npub1hcpjcghqee4r0cwsddpsegp4sul73urekyerg6xcj40wgktpzt6qrt7nwy Anatoly Shashkin💾 Front Page Sports: Baseball '94 (Dynamix/Sierra On-Line, 1994) #DOSGaming npub1hcpjcghqee4r0cwsddpsegp4sul73urekyerg6xcj40wgktpzt6qrt7nwy Anatoly Shashkin💾 Umbrella Entertainment is putting out a collector's set with FIVE versions of Caligula (1979), and god, I wish I had money to throw around on shit like this 😅 npub1hcpjcghqee4r0cwsddpsegp4sul73urekyerg6xcj40wgktpzt6qrt7nwy Anatoly Shashkin💾 @npub1mwn…65su What I was mainly pointing out that on June 22nd of 1996, the officially celebrated date of Quake's release, there was no way to actually play the full version of the game because it didn't exist yet. npub1hcpjcghqee4r0cwsddpsegp4sul73urekyerg6xcj40wgktpzt6qrt7nwy Anatoly Shashkin💾 @npub19zq…u4m5 That is a normal shareware thing.

Well, I just had an anxiety attack while relaxing, sitting in my chair, reading some 30+ year old programming documentation. What the hell? Not cool. npub1hcpjcghqee4r0cwsddpsegp4sul73urekyerg6xcj40wgktpzt6qrt7nwy Anatoly Shashkin💾 @npub14cc…pprj Well, the most obvious would be Microsoft's own stuff that was bundled with DOS. Like HIMEM.SYS. npub1hcpjcghqee4r0cwsddpsegp4sul73urekyerg6xcj40wgktpzt6qrt7nwy Anatoly Shashkin💾 Oh, forgot to mention an important bit: it *requires* you run QEMM for your memory manager. npub1hcpjcghqee4r0cwsddpsegp4sul73urekyerg6xcj40wgktpzt6qrt7nwy Anatoly Shashkin💾 @npub1tt9…afxx The game is crazy hard, bordering on near-impossible at times. However, it centers around a time rewind mechanic, so unwinnable scenarios are intentional. npub1hcpjcghqee4r0cwsddpsegp4sul73urekyerg6xcj40wgktpzt6qrt7nwy Anatoly Shashkin💾 RIP Donald Sutherland. npub1hcpjcghqee4r0cwsddpsegp4sul73urekyerg6xcj40wgktpzt6qrt7nwy Anatoly Shashkin💾 Summer is here! 😎 npub1hcpjcghqee4r0cwsddpsegp4sul73urekyerg6xcj40wgktpzt6qrt7nwy Anatoly Shashkin💾 @npub15my…qydf Psst.

It's DESQview/X 2.1 npub1hcpjcghqee4r0cwsddpsegp4sul73urekyerg6xcj40wgktpzt6qrt7nwy Anatoly Shashkin💾 I don't think this version of Tetris complies with the official Tetris Guideline, Quarterdeck. 🤔 (But the hint bar on the bottom is a nice touch.) npub1hcpjcghqee4r0cwsddpsegp4sul73urekyerg6xcj40wgktpzt6qrt7nwy Anatoly Shashkin💾 This reminds me. I should probably look into how to recompile Quake 3, since for reasons unknown it's hardcoded to limit the default amount of players on a server to 8, even though there are 10 available slots in the creation screen. 😠 npub1hcpjcghqee4r0cwsddpsegp4sul73urekyerg6xcj40wgktpzt6qrt7nwy Anatoly Shashkin💾 Шарики/Shariki (Evgeny Alemzhin, 1996) #DOSGaming #RussianVideogames npub1hcpjcghqee4r0cwsddpsegp4sul73urekyerg6xcj40wgktpzt6qrt7nwy Anatoly Shashkin💾 Last week an updated version of a unique Russian RTS Perimeter (2004) was released.

So I decided to put up the exact version from the 2002 Limited Edition DVD. So now you can watch this edit & realize the film doesn't work at all dramatically & emotionally anymore when presented chronologically in the exact way Christopher Nolan had previously provided: npub1hcpjcghqee4r0cwsddpsegp4sul73urekyerg6xcj40wgktpzt6qrt7nwy Anatoly Shashkin💾 Arrakis was written in QuickBasic.
