    Thought Provoking Question

    Also, there's Anime and then there's Anime. The origins of that art style aren't a pleasant story. There was a whole generation of them, little Japanese girls with big sad American eyes, ostracised by mainstream society and left to fend for themselves while their unmarried mothers worked six...

    Any fellow Linux users on here?

    You seem to be making sense of it very well for a first time user. Congratulations on a job well done.

    Any fellow Linux users on here?

    I haven't witnessed the problem myself but I don't use Steam or any other platform of that type because I never play online. So I've just got the Gog versions of games installed directly in wine, and so far all of those have their own cursors.

    Any fellow Linux users on here?

    Go into System Settings in your Programs menu and check the mouse settings in there. You can change the size or even the style of your mouse along with a whole host of other settings.

    Far North Queensland calling... ?

    The NT only has 250 thousand for the whole territory. :)

    Far North Queensland calling... ?

    I know there's a couple of Queenslanders but I'm not sure about the far north. Personally I think facebook is a very bad choice for these sorts of groups anyway. The way they are crosslinked to so much other social media just makes it far too public and attracts the wrong sort of attention...

    Windows

    For me it was Tomb Raider and Age of Empires and lots of other games from that time. The transition from a fat32 filesystem to NTFS mucked up a lot of people's games for a while. That's why these days you now need an emulator for so many older games, so many things changed at that time including...

    Windows

    So were mine. It was a trip and a half sitting there installing all of that again and reading through all the different messages that pop up. You'll probably do the same as I did, try installing without dos and discovering that it doesn't work.

    Windows

    I didn't have any either and had to download a set, that's how I remember that yes, they were needed back in the day as well. Win98 was still just an addon program that ran under dos the same as win3.11 did.

    Windows

    Provided you "install" the appropriate cards in your computer, yes. You'll want to install the Sound Blaster 32 bit with joystick controller. :) You need to download two separate packages. The x86box program itself and the zip file full of Roms. The roms are the virtual components. You don't...

    Windows

    Second Edition is the better version. And yes it can play other games. The virtual machine I'm using is x86box, link below. It's got all sorts of different components you can put together to build whatever computer you want from back in that era so mine is running one of the most popular video...

    Windows

    With modern computers I started with Windows 3.11 and DOS. I didn't like Windows and didn't see much point in it, I just wanted to play games and they ran better if Windows wasn't also running at the same time. That was at a time in my life when I got really engrossed in everything computer and...

    Lunar Eclipse

    Birdsville is in the very south western corner of Queensland, desert country. The town normally has a population of around 100 people but that swells to over 7000 on race day. Access to the town is by 4 wheel drive vehicles only or by air, the Birdsville Track is legendary as one of Australia's...

    That's a handy website, thanks. I don't think I'll bother with the next one, travelling to Birdsville isn't my idea of fun. :)

    They're actually a lot more common than most people think, on average twice a year. Whether or not you're in the right place to see it is another story though.

    impostor syndrome due to extremely low support needs

    Hi Lui, almost none of us follow any standard pattern with our autism and because of this almost every stereotype you read about will be completely wrong. Any advice from people who are not autistic themselves will also be completely wrong. Books like that one would make me angry too. It would...

    Lunar Eclipse

    Did you catch the one just the other day? My post is from the previous eclipse. I completely forgot the last one, I had every intention of going for a drive into a darker area to get some photos, then I started playing video games and forgot all about it until it was too late. :(

    Strangest Animal

    The world's greatest mimic. Lots of birds are capable of mimicking the sounds of other animals, parrots are reknowned for it and crows and ravens are also very good at it, but none of them even come close to what the Lyre Bird is capable of. Attenborough did take a little bit of poetic...

    While I wouldn't describe Greenland as small it's not exactly huge either, smaller than our state of Western Australia. Antarctica however is almost half again as big as the entirety of Canada including all of Canada's islands, or twice the size of the US. During the last global warming event...

    The evolutionary basis for autism? A new SciShow video

    I've hated phones ever since I was little because of this. Something I discovered in recent years though is that I have a lot less trouble hearing voice calls over apps like Whatsapp. The sound is at a much higher bit rate (better quality) than a regular phone connection.
