@FediThing @Daojoan Not enough to go on. Would appreciate any other details.

@nazokiyoubinbou @kurth No, OPL3 is Yamaha's YMF262, and it's quite an improvement over YM3812 (OPL2) in every area.

@kurth Nah. It's just how Creative handled their SB16 Windows drivers. I don't believe OPL3 is actually being seriously taken advantage of besides the channels and stereo. But the instruments are pretty nice.

William Friedkin (The Exorcist, The French Connection) could have been a standup comedian if he wasn't a film director. 😂

@sashk @vgv It's fine. A lot of people forget or don't know that you can shoot with the F1 key though.

@mcc Oh no. Deja vu!

@mcc Don't miss out on the too-often-overlooked Tetsuo II: Body Hammer!

@vgv This footage is from the 1999 remake. This is what the 1983 original looked like:

@damianogerli That's because it's only 2.1 gigs of total data due to the all the overlap. GK2 is a gigabyte larger despite being on less discs.

@damianogerli @SpindleyQ I've seen many objectively terrible Italian horror movies from the 80s that were still better in every way than Phantasmagoria.

@Bogusmeatfactory @SpindleyQ Oh, I can tell you *exactly* what makes me angry about it. I've been thinking of making a video about it forever, but I can't even manage to write a script for it because I get so angry so quickly just thinking about it.

@SpindleyQ We can certainly discuss that when you finish the game.

@SpindleyQ This game is my nemesis for some reason. I'm normally not a person to get worked up about a videogame of all things, but something about Phantasmagoria makes me legitimately angry. 🤷♂️

Winamp source code got released... but the license prohibits distribution of modified versions *in any form*, and completely forbids even *creating* a fork. 😱

@13pt8plus Yeah, shovelware discs were rarely a goldmine.

In one week I'll be technically homeless. 👍👍
(I've got a place to live though, so it's all good. For now.)

Oh yeah, I used to know Quentin. He's a real... he's a real jerk.
