I'm enjoying both Discovery and Picard. (Guess you can guess why from my nick). And yes, I enjoy The Orville as well. The Orville reminds me most about Roddenberry Trek, while Picard is more "traditional" post-Roddenberry along the lines of DS9. And Discovery well, intriguing. It helps that in...

But how do they simulate the cramped seating feeling? Or am I not allowed to play because my desk chair has more space than the real economy seat? Can you go to the bathroom and disturb everyone in your row? Does the seat in front recline on your legs? Kids bumping the back of your seat...

The problem with Epic Games Store is it's incomplete. EGS does not have forums, so if you have a problem, well, if it's on Steam, then they get flooded with EGS support questions. I guess they will soon have a little tag that says if you own the game or not (call it an "anti-piracy" measure) so...

Well, the legalities are a lot murkier because the Internet Archive is officially classified as a library, so they don't have to actually obtain EA's permission to host it. They do have to respect EA's copyright in that they can "lend" and let people play it (like you can borrow copyrighted...

Ugh, this thread will not end well. Pretty much every ToS or other agreement will have a broadly worded and nonspecific clause that's pretty much "Just because". It's used as a catch all rule in case there isn't something that addresses what the overlords want to happen. And yes, the only...

Yeah. The NES/SNES/PS Classic sell because you can't (legally) play those games without trying to acquire one of those old consoles and games. Which for some games and consoles can be difficult, or require a bit of work (e.g. console doesn't work and needs repair). These work because you pick it...

In general, you can bet it's used without license - the licensing fees for stuff like this is quite expensive, not just in the actual licensing, but in trying to get someone to sit down. And some like CBS require a $40,000 down payment before their licensing lawyers will even sit down with you...

So do people read Playpen for the articles as well?

Yeah, the web version looks exactly like the app, except in a browser window. I think the only feature the web version is missing is system-wide push-to-talk (voice chat). I think if you do launch the invite with the app installed it will launch the app directly, but if you don't, you can just...

No need to install the app - just use your web browser (click the invite link and you can log into your discord account or create a new account and get instantly on). App is handy, but if you're not wanting to keep an app running on your PC, the website is handy. I think the app is actually a...

Stupid question... weren't MIDI files also included?

Another possibility is the music playback program issues a MIDI reset (or equivalent, All Notes Off) after the file plays, thus working properly in game, but being off when played outside because of the hung notes. It's likely the case since the playback may need to aborted at any time so the...

If it was originally designed for MT-32 then it would have to be played on an MT-32 - it may contain MT-32 specific SysEx messages that program the MT-32 to play it properly. (A MIDI file is nothing more than a series of MIDI commands). MT-32 predates the General MIDI standard, and if it...

Did you get a dryer plug installed in the garage or just using slow charging?

Where's the ludicrous mode reaction video? :)

Thanks! I didn't have to make the text larger today!

Actually, the Game Genie never changed in-memory values. It had no access to the system or work RAM in the console. Instead, the codes would patch the cartridge ROM. This was because it sat in-between the ROM and the system, so every time a code matched (which was done by address matching), the...

Yeah, I always wondered why they still called the 3.5" disk a "floppy" disk. Of course, I grew up with 5.25" disks since I was the one with "the computer" (aka, Commodore 64). Later on my parents bought a PC, but it was rarely mine to use (I needed permission to use it). I also remember...
