  I think they are a good thing, since in general you get better compatibility with more esotheric hardware, for example i’ve seen people run godot games on raspberry pi boards, which is pretty nice; also as you mentioned doom and 0 A.D., both of them have prolific modding communities because it’s easy to make mods when you have the source of the game, and in the case of doom in particular the fact that it’s open source allowed people to build lauchers to make it run on newer computers without needing dosbox and co. To even have a chance to play.

  Mine are getting a bit of an upgrade… I found two 26" speakers ripped from an old stage set and a bag of identical tweeters in my dad’s old stuff, I’m currently soldering together a crossover circuit and an amplifier that won’t die while trying to run this whole mess; you can bet a bomb threat is gonna be called when genesis and waters of nazareth hit

  Ayyy another justice listener, nice; how are your speakers doing btw?

  Last week i had to fix a cut and bend machine of that kind ( essentially it cuts steel sheets to a specific lenght with a guillotine and bends it into shape with an hydraulic press); it was originally just a cutter and the bending half was added afterwards: the cutter with the HID ran on a 486 board with a dos clone and was connected to the bender’s controller board via an isa card; i checked the bender’s board and it turned out to be a 6502 board… Talk about ol’reliable. I ended up needing to replace the 486 board with a pentium board and running everything trough freedos because someone slammed the steel sheets in the control cabin while feeding them in the machine. I was surpised to find a 6502 based embedded computer running with equipment that came standard with a flat panel monitor for the HID, but i guess when the machine’s minimum lifespan is marked in decades you go for well tested stuff.

  I am still resisting the temptation to go back there, dump the roms and reverse engineer the whole thing though

  Quartz heating elements are also resistors that emit light, but i’ve never seen anyone complain about that, quite the opposite actually :-)

  That’s the thing, to me the way the rest of the world sees italian stuff is just a big question mark; i’m genuinely curious about how it looks through different glasses

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who order "a decaff coffee with an extra shot" - why?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well good to know; in all honesty it feels a little weird to see espresso as a snob thing when here in italy you see it everywhere, i literally just came from bringing a couple of cups of it to a couple of my frends working in the constrution site next to my house; it’s kinda nice to see this differences

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who order "a decaff coffee with an extra shot" - why?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All of the bar espresso machines I’ve worked with have an extra “handle”(I’m not sure how it’s called in english) that’s half as deep and has a single spout, so yes there is a single shot one, at least for the ones in italy, i don’t know if it’s the same for the rest of the world

  My internet is 1.5MBytes per second download… And 200kbytes upload, there was a torrent that i was able to save from dying, i remember the poor mf that downloaded for a whole week; to download 16GB since then he’s been seeding that file; the sheer tenacity that man had.
