Just note that abandonware is not a legal term, and the ScummVM team consider it piracy/warez. You don't get supported with problems by ScummVM if you play an illegitimately acquired copy of a game. There ARE some games which are

To add to this, the commercially available versions of the first two Monkey Island games are not ScummVM compatible without some hackery. The games are perfectly playable, indeed, but a lot of people don't have much fondness for the vi

ScummVM 2.8.0 is a pretty big release overall, with the App Store release just being the icing on the cake. The full notes are pretty long![0] The list of supported games has grown a lot. ScummVM is capable of running the Adibou series now,

This is no longer the case in Windows 11. The "trick" to disconnect from the internet worked in the 10 setup procedure, but not 11. The new method to create a local account at installation is to attempt to login to a known bogus a

Looks like her Shamanism business is a side gig. I see her listed as a VP on another non-profit website[0], so I guess she actually does have a track record of non-profit management. It don't think it's entirely unusual for peop

I sense locking SSO behind your enterprise plan isn't going to make you very popular on HN.

At the risk of sounding like a kagi marketer/shill/peddler/whatever, if it helps at all, it's actually not just search. Sort of. Kagi is slowly rolling out some AI-backed features, and will probably work in other areas

Which ones? Proton via Steam (and even outside of Steam) is doing a fantastic job of most recent games. I don't run Windows at all anymore, and gaming is the primary usage of my desktop.

He uses X11 sometimes! I couldn't quite tell what the DE was, but it might have been XFCE. He found it easier to show us comics in X11 than in textmode emacs, so he swapped to the desktop to do that. This was close to midnight in Londo

Also anectdotal: Ate at a Chinese restaurant with him, he's not gross at the table. I did hug him later and he was very sweaty - but we did just traipse across London in a bit of a rush and he was absolutely exhausted.

Despite years in the Scouts, both as a participant and a Leader, I am embarrassingly bad at knots. I've always had a terrible time following visual directions given to me by someone trying to teach me a knot, and even worse at followin

The Pentium 4 is an extreme example, and I admit I used it quite dishonestly to over-emphasise the fact that Windows 11 runs on CPUs that it claims not to support . A 7th or 6th gen Intel would run Windows 11 quite well, unlike a Pentium

Indeed no pitchforks, but I can see where some concern has come from. On the release of Windows 11 it was stated that only newer Intel and AMD generations were to be officially supported and while workarounds are built in (literally a regis

Not the original commenter, but I have indoor cats in my apartment who can only go out on to the balcony. They have very animated dreams sometimes. They'll make whimpering sounds that are like muffles versions of the yowls they make wh

I am not aware of any titles on GOG that are packaged with vortualbox, do you have any examples?

Yep! Mojang were putting out a game simply titled Scrolls and Bethesda didn't like that, because apparently you can confuse 'Scrolls' for 'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim'.

There's a part of the website that states it'll be an upgrade to CSGO. I wonder if that means we're losing CSGO, or if there will be some sort of "legacy mode" that either retains CSGO as an option or simply shims i

I have a hard time with freeform city builders like Skylines or SimCity. The amount of unrestrained freedom makes me question why I'm even playing. I have the same issue with The Sims or something like Planet Zoo. That and Skylines giv

Jeff is a gem. His twitter (now Mastodon, I suppose) was one of the main reasons I stayed on the platform for so long. He has daily livestreams where he goes out and hangs out with his sheep, donkeys, and llamas.

I'm not loaded, but I screw with coffee just enough to not have to drink instant. Besides the fact that instant (mostly nescafe) doesn't taste very good to me, it makes me poop liquid. Consistently. I don't know what it is

Voluntary organisations like the Scouts have been a good choice for me. It's tricky to get into if you're in the US because of all the dogma, but Scouting is an awesome thing to get into as an adult leader. If not the Scouts, then

ScummVM aims for authenticity, so at least in its initial implementation the UI would most likely be exactly the same as it was at release, but it does open the door for modification I suppose - you may not see those enhancements made direc
