You’re right. That’s extremely hard to believe.

I think your system has made it abundantly clear that neither competence, nor mental state, nor age, nor criminal record are limiting factor to be a politician in the US.

我看不懂了 你想写什么？

Do we still need to click to pick shit up on the ground? Because that drove me insane to the point I didn’t play BL3, pretty much.

They still have those in the Chinese school I was teaching in. Spotless, modern, but a trough. A really humbling experience, even after years of nightclub toilets in Ireland.

Oh dear, yes, SVGA! I had forgotten about that one, hahaha!

That’s just a layout. Let’s not confuse presentation with content.

That would work better if Latin wasn’t there before English. Mars Victor!

Oh man! This is some brilliant trickery, haha! I love those. Back in the day, though, there was scant few sources of info so most people would rediscover this sort of stuff on their own, unless part of some group like the demo scene. Wish I could have read this sort of article back then…

VGA let’s you pick a palette of 256 colours out of 262144, which is because the RGB components were actually on 6bit, not the full 8bit we would come to expect later. The 320x200 resolution would also be a sore point for artists and that’s how you ended with quite a few games sticking to the EGA palette and using dithering to simulate more colours while using a superior resolution (640x480, or was it 800x600?). I’ve some vivid memories of Cobra Mission for example, or the Commander Keen saga.

Hercules used to play in 720 x 400 or thereabouts.

And that CGA palette looks wrong to me, haha. All the games I ever saw were either cyan magenta black and white, or black red green yellow. First time I see a mix like this.

Look up a good article on coding fonts and pick your camp! At the moment I have DejaVu installed but I’m not a purist. As long as it’s properly designed for this I’m happy. Ligatures are particularly nifty in some languages but no big deal. I recall one author picking a font so that the italics would be cursive rather than monospace, so that his comments would look like handwritten notes in the margin, but I never got a chance to try it myself. Looked great though!

I am still annoyed that we let the damn Argentinian beef get through, but I think it’s comparatively hilarious that we still won’t budge on US “food”.

Holy shit! That guy hacked the system!

I’m guessing that one is toward the EU?

Well yeah, why do you think the billionaires don’t pay taxes? Can you imagine counting out all those millions? Just easier to skip them, they give enough as it is already. /s

That reminds me of SEO shite introduced into HTML invisibly for the readers.

I bring swag from my previous employers to whatever employer I am currently at :)
Let them know how much I care about company spirit.

Could probably use a Bible from the way things are. Doubt they actually ever open those.

Oh you sweet summer child…
