In the summertime, when the weather is high
You can stretch right up and touch the sky
When the weather's fine
You got MIDI, you got MIDI on your mind

Summer is here! 😎

@anopka Psst. It was a joke. But Pajitnov has *always* been adamant about the playfield size, even back in the day.

@root42 Installer says OSF/Motif and OPEN LOOK compatible.

@root42 I know very little about Unix/Linux, so I just don't have the energy that would be required for me to pull it off.

@root42 Nope. Haha.

@root42 Yes, it is. It's DESQview/X 2.1

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.)

Any theater/lit enthusiasts in the house? Can anyone recommend a decent English translation of The Servant of Two Masters? Beginning to think that English may be too rigid of a language to preserve the flow of the play.

Well, ain't we a pair, raggedy man.

@a2_4am NO

Haven't seen this until just now, but I have a feeling I'll be referencing this a bunch going forward in my that annual "Windows 3.x is *not* just a GUI" online fights.
A nicely laid out, easy to understand technical explanation of how Windows 3.x functions:

@ShadowInTheVoid @Eliot_L Yeah, I'm still on a 1080 I got in 2017, and I'm fine as far as VR games go.

Can't wait for the full version to come out so I can play it in VR.

Man, the remake of Riven looks great. It's almost surreal to experience these locations in actual real time 3D.

@jaykass I feel like it's probably easier for me to recompile from available source code rather than to find this value in a WinNT executable.

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. 😠

@indigo Yes, but don't you miss sitting next to random strangers in unfamiliar places?

If you miss old LAN games and you're in New York, you can always come down to Long Island Retro Gaming Expo, August 9th - 11th, to play some classics, original Counter-Strike among them.
