@aaronsgiles Interesting. Do you have any examples of software that uses this?

@uastronomer I understand as much, but it's still not a great feeling to hear the cops say "yep, that's a crimescene. Call homicide."

So apparently what happens when your roommate most likely has a medical emergency and dies before dropping on the floor face first, and you report the body that you found when you got home from work, the whole situation gets filed as a homicide & a crime scene. 🤷♂️
Just putting it here for a record to say that I assume at this moment in time my fate is in the hands of the medical examiner. 🙏

@raven667 @MisterMoo Yes, I backed its crowdfunding campaign.

@raven667 @MisterMoo I actually have to hand it to Chris Jones for thinking that he could go toe to toe with professional actors, and then actually pulling it off! His acting also keeps improving throughout the games, and the 3rd game is a bit on the cheesy and humorous anyway, so he fits really well.

RIP James Earl Jones.
Here's his performance as "The Big P.I. in the Sky" in "Under a Killing Moon" (1994). #DOSGaming

@nina_kali_nina I think I'm too exhausted to actually have any strong emotions about anything.

Aaaaannd that's yet another funeral in my immediate future. I'm having a helluva summer.

@root42 Well, in the travel log you can just flat out see me talking. 😄

@afedoseev not yet, but it's usually held during the second weekend of August.

@root42 I mean, there's a big arrow pointing at me at one moment. 😉

If you're in New York or a nearby area and you haven't gone to Long Island Retro Gaming Expo yet, you're missing out. Check out this review of the event by LGR to see the actual scope of the event, and I hope to see you all there next year!

@3rz It is, but I was thinking more visually than of their actual pixel size.

@pecet Oh yes. I've been following it since the beginning. 👍

@3rz These are all in 320x200 originally, so unlikely.

Actual sizes:
-------------
Wolfenstein 3D - 64x32
DOOM - 96x48
Duke Nukem 3D - 96x54
Rise of the Triad - 80x48

Well, one of my computer speakers that I've been using for 20 years have finally died. Pretty good run. RIP.

@root42 Fingers crossed for another housing market crash soon.
