I’m still using trusted [Icecat port by Muslayev] . Problem is that it begin to show it’s age by not rendering some websites in a correct way. After checking [Firefox release roadmap] i find out that 91 ESR branch on which Icecat is based will reach EOL status at the end of the summer. So i’ll need a replacement to keep up with modern web standards. Chrome and original Firefox are not an options because of their telemetry framework and bloated nature.

Some time ago i told you about awesome [Vortex Race III] keyboard. During the last month of my workflows i’ve noticed that desperately feel the lack of numpad and other extended keys, which are common for full sized keyboards. After not so long thinking i’ve decided to switch keyboard. Yesterday i’ve received full-sized, but still compact [Vortex TAB90M] keyboard, based around the same Cherry Blue MX switches. Build quality is rock solid.

Have you ever heard about digital audio workstation written in assembly language?
Yeah, that’s [SAW Studio] .
32-bit version can be launched even in “obsolete” Windows XP.
64-bit version released in 2019 is Windows 7 compatible.

There are plenty of digital audio workstation software available today.
Fruity Loops, Apple Logic, Cakewalk….
but what make them so unimportant anymore?

I recommend you to use alternative search engines like [Searx.me] or [Duckduckgo] not because g is mining your data and then resells it to marketing agencies for targeted ads, but because if you say something restricted or will be “lucky” to be banned by their anti-spam bot you can lose access to your data forever. Three years ago i had YT channel with [tracker music] where i posted stuff almost daily, also i had [trackers database] hosted on their blogger platform.

UPDATED ON: 2022-04-27 Added Even More Contraptions Excellent time killing game with a noticeable profit to grey matter of your brain. Game where every click is satisfactory. I recommend to acquire [The Incredible Machine Mega Pack] released by GOG store, which includes 4 game parts in a one solid package.

[Frank Klepacki] is well known for [Command & Conqueror] soundtrack released back in a mid 90s. He brought awesome progressive sound to PC platform, which was pretty innovative especially after FM bleeps’n’blops of the 80s era. Don’t get me wrong, i don’t have anything against frequency modulation in games. [UFO X-COM: Enemy Unknown] is an excellent example of how music should be done when you are squeezed by multiple limitations like waveform shapes, file size and so on.

As you may already noticed i like to give a reference to Microprose games. Previous posts covered masterpieces like [UFO: X-Com] and [Civilization II] . And i’m doing that on purpose. Games of the past primarily relied on solid and very high-quality storylines. Back in the day processing power of computer was quite limited and developers can’t offer breath-taking graphics. So they have to use head to output quality entertainment product.

Back in the 2017 Amd [broke intel’s rule of low core count CPUs] and now they are delivering large enterprise-level cache to consumer products.

Some already confirmed facts about 5800x3D:

Sky Force is a neat vertical shmup on Android to kill your time on boring job. Excellent graphics and solid demoscene soundtrack of Reloaded remaster a bit spoiled by developer’s greed, coz game balance is tuned for purchasing stuff via real money. But if you are ok to play without microtransactions and slow progress is acceptable for you, then game is highly recommended. Of cource it can’t be compared with [Jets’n’Guns] or classical [Tyrain] , but anyways it is worth of mentioning here and can be counted as decent time killer.

If for some reason you are unable to find wanted music and you already looked it in oldschool [Emule] and didn’t get satisfactory results i suggest to try out Soulseek P2P network. Pretty big chance that you’ll find what you are looking for. [DOWNLOAD SOULSEEK] Imagery by spacedrone808

Seen marvellous [UFO X-Com] ? So, here is another masterpiece by Microprose then. In my childhood i was obsessed by [Civilization I] , which can be played in plain DOS only. Game graphics was very pixel sketchy and forced the brain to complete imaginary world by myself. Many sand was spilled across the sand-glass. There are VI parts of the game to date! [Second part] of the game was released back in 1996.

Back in a day when torrents were in a non-existing state there was amazing p2p software called Emule. Some vintage computer geeks prefer Emule over torrents even today. Most of users are located in European countries like France, Italy, Spain. Rather unusual software for 2022, but i concur that application can be helpful in retrievement of rare and obsure stuff, which can’t be found anywhere else. Note that official download page is not updated anymore and latest 2021 version can be acquired from [community forum] or Githhub page only.

Not long ago i’ve told about [Diablo I modification] . Now it is time for something not so vintage. Diablo II to be precise. As you may know even the latest expansion set Lord of Destruction didn’t brought screen resolutions greater than 800x600. And when you play it on a 30" inch screen monitor with width resolution of 2560 pixels it looks kinda blurry. There are couple of patches, which brought higher resolutions, but unluckily all of them don’t work with latest version of game: 1.

Of course you can buy an excellent hard rock by [The Gone Jackals] . But if you are huntin’ for original in-game tunes and hunger to have them as MP3 files you’ve come to right place. Soundtrack is simply stunning. But there are no separate music files which embedded into main data file. It can’t be open via standard 7-Zip. We are in luck coz we have excellent ultility to extract music from some classic quests based upon Moai and Buddha engines.
