I feel like I should have installed 15 disks labeled Sierra in order to see this.

I like this one. One bird goes one way, and the other bird goes the other way.

One’s going east, and the other is going west. So what?

And this lighthouse is saying, “Whaddaya want from me?” The lighthouse’s got a nice coat of white paint. Beautiful. The bird, it looks the same.

This makes me want to make an introspective indie game about a lighthouse keeper wrestling with their own mortality and the inevitable passage of time.

old enough to know the difference between extended and expanded memory, and how to tune your autoexec.bat and config.sys files to squeeze every ounce of power out of that DX^2 66 you can.

Damn ye!

Let Neptune strike ye dead Winslow! HAAARK! Hark Triton, hark! Bellow, bid our father the Sea King rise from the depths full foul in his fury! Black waves teeming with salt foam to smother this young mouth with pungent slime, to choke ye, engorging your organs til’ ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more -- only when he, crowned in cockle shells with slitherin’ tentacle tail and steaming beard take up his fell be-finned arm, his coral-tine trident screeches banshee-like in the tempest and plunges right through yer gullet, bursting ye -- a bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now and nothing for the harpies and the souls of dead sailors to peck and claw and feed upon only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the Dread Emperor himself -- forgotten to any man, to any time, forgotten to any god or devil, forgotten even to the sea, for any stuff for part of Winslow, even any scantling of your soul is Winslow no more, but is now itself the sea!

Am I the only one who thinks it’s weird the post has over 7k upvotes, and this comment only has 31?

I fully support people who actually post original content. They should be rewarded by having their info up at the top.

rabbiferret t1_j2k4f8o wrote

This looks like an interstitial loading scene that you'd get really excited for only to have before a really boring 'top down' view of a lighthouse that has a spartan layout, something like a spyglass in a chest, a frayed rope, and an oily rag. None of it really makes any sense, but nothing really is so far out of place that you questioned it.

Later, this same scene will appear with a dark blue sky and a yellow 'light beam'.

Threads like this let me remember that I have no original thoughts and I'm just coasting along this life like some automaton because I saw the title and thought "ha ill comment and ask why it's called lighthouse?" and I open it up and there are already like 15 other people doing the same thing.

QEMM was some of the most must-have software that existed in the early 90s.

I worked at Software Etc. (what has now become GameStop) back in 1993-1997. One of the perks of working there was you could 'check out' software (usually games) for a week to try it, was a good way to learn about the software to help inform customers. We all had copies of everything we'd ever need from the store all for the cost of blank floppies (which we got at a discount). DOS 6.22, Windows 3.11 for Workgroups, QEMM, QModem Pro, and a few others, were always at the front of my disk case.
