TIL that Windows 9x's "found new hardware" process has a hardcoded artificial delay of EIGHT seconds. It waits 3 seconds before displaying the device name and type it got from the driver, and then another 5 seconds before proceeding. I want hours of my life back.

I know that's just the way the world functions because it's a vast space full of all kinds of people, but I really hate the fact that before I virtually engage with someone in my field of interests I gotta scroll through weeks of their social media posts to determine if they are a white supremacist or not.

The biggest delusion besides all the bigotry in the replies is a belief that someone would actually pay for a crack for LOOM in the year of our lord 2024.

There's a new DOS gaming account on Birbsite! They specialize in making new cracks for old games. Oh, but also...
- website downloads are locked behind a forced account.
- they offer a paid account tier.
- they use AI slop to advertise the website.
- Birbsite checkmark.
- they follow a bunch of right wingers.
- they are just a bigot from Germany.
Yeah, bud. This ain't it.

Did you know that this year ScummVM added fixes for Eye of the Beholder under the "Faithful AD&D rules" option?

Well, that's one way to do credits, I guess. ‍️ #DOSGaming
