I just recently got into a few old games with mods and stuff, and am having my share of sites gone up Lethe, search engines being clueless lately, file sharing sites poofed into the wind or serving a 404, and things just not behaving in my

As a person perpetually stuck on the ‘total beginner’ phase, I really have no idea how one would start learning chess by beginning with openings. As I imagine it, one first learns to recognize good moves three levels forward, then four and

By the way, Casio not only made calculators and synthesizers, but made both things in one: Casio VL-Tone VL-1 is a calculator and a synth/sequencer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_VL-1

Don't forget Moby's ‘dancehall’ remix of Prodigy's ‘Everybody In The Place’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWHc7rSv03Q I bet that this is where many thirty-something people heard it for the first time.

I may have a better eye for it than most, all the way to having made my own browser extension to turn justification on paragraphs off. However, if I do turn on left-aligning on the linked example, I get plenty of very jagged right edges—w

Hi. “Looks better” only works in regard to justification when one is admiring a page overall. However, that's not how people actually read text. They look at words in lines, and at that time uneven spacing keeps tripping the eye up. I

by aasasd 5y ago
By the way: if you can, it would probably be wise to drop justified alignment, and make text aligned to the left. Rectangle blocks of text only look good from a distance—when actually trying to read, the differing inter-word spaces just mak

People put in effort making PDFs and ensuring that nobody can read them without either a 14" portrait screen or a ton of scrolling—and you had to come along and ruin that carefully laid out inconvenience? What's wrong with you. Th

Ah, yes, ‘it's fine because it's technically legal’. The pinnacle of Western morality, wow. You may notice, however, that the question of legality wasn't my objection in the first place.

Well I'll tell you more: if you're not buying anything from the website and you're blocking ads, then you're not the target audience and your opinion is irrelevant to the site's owners. You're just burning el

There were even decent releases made on /mu/. Specifically, never having been on 4chan myself, I've heard of that scene by the way of Loli Ripe—whose music is basically j-core a-la DJ Sharpnel, but with more breakcore. I only

Yandex is one company that's known to put effort into resisting ad blockers—to the point that uBlock/AdBlock filter authors had to just give up. So it's certainly possible for FB.

Let's just agree that Pip-Boy 2000 / Vault-Tec are the best ones: they're stylish and usable. Some hi-tec designs, e.g. ‘Alpine’ or ‘Pioneer’ ones, are very neat, but somehow overly-clean looks felt jarring and empty on Win

There's also a ‘Munin’ software, of course: a server monitoring program. It was pretty neat around ten years ago, dunno how it compares now.

The maps, at least at the scale of around 1:500000 or 1:200000, are still used by hikers and such outdoorsy folk. (Or they were ten years ago, dunno about now.)

Dunno about Western maps, but old ‘military’ maps of Russia are now frequently used by hikers, climbers and such folk to plan outdoors routes. There are tons of details on the maps, and I guess nature doesn't change that much in the 60

One of my favorite sites in terms of aesthetics is http://linkdot.link . I don't know anything particularly about the content, and I do have trouble actually reading it, but boy does it feel good to have it enter my eyes.
