Couldn’t stop with Windows 3.11, so I made another for Windows 95 😅👍

Promo image of a sticker sheet with lots of Windows 95 icons tightly packed on the signature muted turquoise background: Recycle bin, Computer with a speaker, window controls, an OK button, a laptop, mouse pointers, a bouncing card from Solitaire, UI elements from MS PAINT, "My Computer" and the Start button.

Spotted today at IKEA: "When they discover their personality" -- that us? 😅
Photo of a wooden wall mount with a horizontal bar. On it are cheap USB headset and a PS3 controller affixed with cable ties and nothing else. On the wall there's the text "Wenn sie ihre Persönlichkeit entdecken".

Couldn’t resist assembling this Windows 3.11 sticker sheet 😅

#retro #windows3x #retrocomputing #stickers
[LLM generated] The image is a collection of pixelated stickers reminiscent of a classic computer interface. The stickers are arranged diagonally across a white background and feature various icons, including a chess piece, a mouse pointer, a calculator, "Yes" and "No" buttons, a Windows logo, a file folder, a notepad, a palette, a CD, a mine sweeper mine, an "OK" button, and an MS-DOS logo. The colors are vibrant and the style is distinctly retro.

Programmers: Did you know about Rebecca Heineman's BurgerLib for "near instant porting of an application written on one platform to another"?

She had built it over the past 30 years!

Would it kill them to write what's new in the "What's new" section?! 🙄
Screenshot from Goolge Play store updates of YouTube, Discord, Dropbox, and PayPal expanded. Under each "What's new" header they all have a variation of "We’ve been hard at work making this app better for you. This includes bug fixes and performance enhancements. For more detailed information, go to your profile in the app and scroll down to “What’s New”."

In case some of you missed Valve's email a couple ofbweeks back, here's the offical announcement regarding changes to the Store page

https://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/506217467911081529

#gamedev #steam
Screenshot of the article reading With today's Steam update, you'll now find that many store pages throughout Steam are wider, making better use of your larger monitors and better organizing some of the information on screen. For users opted into the Steam client beta, these set of changes have been visible since late August while we refined the update and gave game developers a chance to prepare for wider store page assets. Today's update officially moves these changes out of beta to be fully public, widening many pages from 940 pixels to now 1200 pixels. If you have been opted into the beta, you've already been using the new wider store pages and won't see much change today. For those of you that haven't been opted into the Steam client beta, read on for a quick overview of the changes. A few upgrades for game store pages The biggest changes can be found on game store pages, where we've also recently updated the video player (you can read about that in our post from July: Steam Trailer Player Upgrades). Overhauled trailer/screenshot carousel The trailer and screenshot carousel now supports three different modes (default, theater mode, full-screen mode) with the same functionality. All modes adhere to your preferences for whether to auto-play trailers and whether audio should be on or off by default.

I hate being on the brink of being sick before bedtime (scratchy throat, cough, clogged nose, aching limbs) and waking up the next day all better only to arrive at the same symptoms. It's been 3 days, pick a side!

With my laptop purchase I got two keys for games, one from Intel, the other from NVIDIA and the utter bullshit you have to go through their broken redemption processes is something else. And, as expected, NVIDIA claims I redeemed my key already while their site timed out. Yuck! I need a shower.

I have to copy a 12 TB RAID that's Mac-formatted (HFSJ) to my local Widows-formatted (NTFS) drive under Windows 11. I got the trial of MacDrive Pro and can confirm it's utter garbage: Read failures and system freezes every 10 minutes that only a force shutdown solved momentarily. 🙄

It's been a while since I streamed, but this month with @dosgameclub we're doing TOONSTRUCK, a zany adventure game I've never played in my life.

So I figured: instead of getting stuck alone, why not get stuck together??

Come and hang out in 15 minutes or so at […]
