Recently i’ve stumbled upon very neat modification, which is based around [Hellfire]
[another Diablo I expansion set]. It is supported by a small amount of enthusiasts, forging game internals right from 2007 till current 2022.
Feature set:
Very high replayability Revamped character classes, with additional sub-classes Extended perks and traits system New game mechanics and craft system New weapon sets New music High resolution support Convenient comparison tools Auto money picker Custom settings Multiple game difficulties And much more… Some real life experience.
Never liked musical cartoons, but this one
got me pretty badly. Watched it twice in a row. Genie is the best. OFFICIAL TRAILER

Finally, I’ve managed to finish my retro DOS/Windows 98 build machine based on powerul Athlon. By finish i mean assemble parts on the table without any case. Why no case? Answer is simple: i’m lazy. And it is more convenient to me to keep it as open testbed for weirdo experiments of my own.
Collecting items took almost four months to accomplish this project. Puter consists of multitude parts, which were acquired around the globe.
[Chip & Dale]
is a nice Disney cartoon for the most young viewers. …and maybe even for older ones, who are tired of modern cartoon abominations.

I’ve promised to do a quick overview of this awesome laptop. So here it is!
FRONT VIEW I/O SYSTEM KEYBOARD UPCLOSE SIDE PORTS CLOSED LID COMPAQ LOGO I like the overall aesthetics and design of the casing. Computer easily handles any DOS software. Keyboard is nice too, like tactile feel of it. My copy has a wobbly keyboard on the left side, but this due to it’s age of course.
It will be prohibited not to mention about Streets of Rage II ► favourite beat’em’up of my childhood. First three parts are classical arcade machine stuff, they pretty similar to each other. Last one is a fan-made project with new graphics and design. STREETS OF RAGE II STREETS OF RAGE IV EVOLUTION OF STREETS OF RAGE 1991-2021 Imagery by spacedrone808

CURRENTLY TEST IS NOT OPTIMIZED FOR MOBILE VIEW! IMAGE WIDTH >1600px IS RECOMMENDED! ▒ DIRECT COMPARISON In the very beginning of the test I underline the fact that we are comparing only resolution and not the dynamic range. In this category older FSI sensor is an outsider, for sure. Today’s rival is [IPHUCK 13 PRO HYPER MAX]
with unknown sensor, even GSMarena don’t know actual size of it [after [some research]
i find out that it is somewhere around 1/1.
While STALKER 2 announced to be delayed, [again]
. It looks like that we have plenty of time to do one more run to an excellent [OGSR modification]
of original [STALKER]
.
Classic post-apocalyptic survival-horor shooter with RPG elements. Original game was know for huge amount of bugs and glitches, so I recommend you to play-through OGSR mod, which fixes tons of bugs, adds new quests to main story-line, new weaponry, changes balance and adds convenience features.
One of neat’n’unexpected discoveries of recent web crawling. USSR pop-rock, now can be considered as retrowave, which fits [KungFury]
aestetics pretty badly.

Reasons not to use original YT site and native android clients: Wild censorship and tracking of personal data The most pathetic roayalties to platform contributors Unwilling to listen to contributor community [problem of all big corps] [In previous post]
i’ve mentioned about brilliant Android YT client: NewPipe.
Today i’ll speak about desktop alternative to their website, which will help you to surf YT without fear of being tracked.
[Aki Kaurismaki]
is Finnish film director who makes minimalistic’n’ambientish movies about life of plain folks. Some people describe Aki’s films like «depressive», but I’m not agree on such superficial conclusion. I consider his art as a very neat backdrop for inner thinking and self-analysis.
Most of the characters are quite silent, but despite that fact their feelings are 100% understandable without any words. I think that Aki’s movies represent the brief essence of entire life and they teach us about many aspects of life.
I always feel very special regarding Nertherlands acid hardcore of early 90s. One of my favorite peices so far.

Take a note that ugly g 3-4 times a year changing YT API to make artificial difficulties to third-party clients like NewPipe, [FreeTube]
, FireTube. So don’t forget to update programs regularly.
I’m almost sure that you already know about excellent Android YT client [NewPipe]
. It is praised for it’s lightness, speed and freedom from YT closed source API. As you may know that in recent pursuit for profit google increased ads quantities and methods of it’s delivery.
One of the [coolest cartoons]

Previously i was adept of japanese keyboard [Topre RealForce RGB]
. Device relies on high-end rubber-dome capacitive key switches, which distinguish Realforce from generic rubber-dome keyboards. Solid construction is also included. However double shot ABS keycaps were not so durable in the long run of almost two years of heavy typing.
So, i’ve decided to switch to something more reliable and compact. My search brought me to [Vortex Race III RGB]
.
Movie is presented as science-fiction comedy, but it looks like that we have everything in reality already. I’m not much into Hollywood movies, but when essense of film satire is based upon real life i can’t just skip it.

Most modern marketing smart-phones are mumbling about support of really large SD cards. But only on Hi-End models. I’m not even speaking about pathetic iphones, which are disabled in terms of external storage due to the greed of executive directors. In this note i will check old mastodonts like:
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact [2017]]
[Nokia PureView 808 [2012]]
for compatibility with such ENORMOUS storage device.
Sony XZ1 Compact handles such capacity without any problems.

[Falling down]
was far ahead of it’s time. It is highlighting many social problems, which are actual even today. Solid acting, neat plot. The real movie. Quality of 90s.

▒ SOME PREFACE WORDS …. Is it really possible? Read on to find out.
Windows 200 is known for very fast performance, even compared to Windows XP and famous for absence of preinstalled bloatware. However, lack of drivers and software cripple system a bit. I was curious about ability to use this old operating system in 2022, maybe not as daily driver, but as a backup machine for secondary tasks.
You may already know about excellent side-scroller [Jets’n’Guns Gold]
.
[Second part repeats success]
of original release with even more beautiful graphics and mind-blowing special effects. Dynamic pulse-pounding action, very cool soundtrack, supreme game design. What else could you dream of?
But if you ask my opinion…. despite the fact that J’n’G series is a wad steal for sure, but in terms of replayability it nevertheless can’t reach classic [Tyrian]
from ‘95.
Blade Runner animation is made by me.
Brilliant cyberpunk movie with excellent design and atmosphere.

Previously I’ve [mentioned about best non-verbal movies]
, but today it is a cartoon. Japan & France united to produce this hand-drawn masterpiece. [Red Turtle]
is a deep immersion into problems of human existence. Maybe it is even represents concentrated essence of life.
