I learnt that social media isn't that much of a bigger place until I found so many different forums(since almost a year). There's a lot of internet things I don't know or should care to know about with these sub-space of sub-spaces. Since i was an elementary grade, i was about to hop on the internet and only closes relation to social media is like the hybrid of undignified stranger, I felt agonizing to looking to find what I'm amused to me. Now this latest year got me a lot of y2k things to total impact for me. Old internet as a whole was communicating and data sharing has now beyond it comprehension to be point it out that we norms are in somewhat of tutorial level of knowing what freedom of internet given us. When will I use with the information, threads or media shits that kept me to eye on, are same situations today as
A good and bad things to lookout then if things being so slop "what gotten myself to position these". Finding better choice to take on internet has exhaust me.
It's wild and universal affairs to keep looking more.

Bulbasaurus was ostensibly not directly named after the Pokémon Bulbasaur, but rather after its nasal bosses, which are unusually bulbous among geikiids; however, the describers noted that the similarity in name "may not be entirely coincidental." Additionally, the specific name of the type species means "leaf razor", which is most directly a reference to its keratin-covered jaws. Other distinguishing characteristics of Bulbasaurus among the geikiids include the hook-like beak, very large tusks, and absence of bossing on the prefrontal bone.

This dinosaur should sue Nintendo imo

Did you know that, in the mid-1980s, there was a newspaper comic strip starring Betty Boop & Felix the Cat as modern-day roommates in a trendy NYC apartment? It was meant to essentially be a woman-focused competitor to Garfield, and was drawn by the sons of the guy who created Beetle Bailey. Felix, like Garfield, talks snarkily in thought bubbles and isn't really like he is in any of the cartoons, but Betty is pretty much as naive and ditzy as she was in the '30s, just in the world of power-suits and Reaganomics. Olive Oyl from Popeye occasionally shows up as her gal-pal, too.

This comic was never successful, and only ran for about 4 years, but is notable for being Betty's final starring appearance in her own series (though of course later in 1988, right after the comic ended, she had a cameo in Roger Rabbit [with her original voice actor, who was like in her 90s at the time]). I wish there was more information about it online... maybe it'll get a collection, someday. I like both of these characters a lot, though Felix is pretty poorly-drawn in this strip. I also know a very rude rhyme based on Felix's theme song, which I won't repeat here in the interest of good taste.

Apparently cardinals are named for the Catholic officials? Watched an Italian movie today and some of them were gawking at a gorgeous woman (the humans, I mean, not the birds), and my friend made a "fun fact" out of it. I don't actually if that's true, but I like her, willing to take it on faith.

I learnt that downloading on browser wasn't efficient enough to get the game faster and it's automatically canceled my download files at the halfway.

Now I'm understand that download manager is something that needed to prevent these situations. Particularly I've to be held responsibly with the new system if I were to face the side effects of emulating things.
So yeah is this basically that is all I need to know now? or should I be finding myself guide book for being too much pirating could cause "harm".

This is kind of something I learned today, I was relistening to the soundtrack to Chrono Trigger and I came to Corridors of Time. The reason why I point this out is because when I started playing it way back, I played through it with no spoilers, so I had no idea what would happen next. When I got to the part where you travel to that

Spoiler: Spoiler for Chrono Trigger

snowy area in the past and you went up to that magnificent floating island in the sky

with that Corridors of Time playing, it really awed me. It was one of the most magical and unexpected moments I've ever had with a video game, just when I thought I'd seen everything, that happens.. That midi sitar and that percussion combined with the beautiful spritework just floored me. I really made me realize again that video games are a really genuine artform, and for that I will always cherish. Sorry if that's a bit schmaltzy, just felt I should share that.

Learned a bunch about Virtualbox Win98SE and hardware 3D acceleration using a tool called SoftGPU.
Its giving me pretty decent speed in 3D games by translating D3D1-9 to OpenGL with WineD3D and then passing the OpenGL primitives through to my RTX3080 for real hardware acceleration, or even faster speeds when passingthrough D3D8/9 primitives straight to the GPU with Nine instead of WineD3D.
Still considering buying retro gaming pc though....

Also learned a bunch about QEMU-3DFX, a different way to get hardware accelerated 3D graphics in a VM with a modern GPU that lacks drivers for Windows 98SE.
QEMU-3DFX was a pain in the ass to compile, but got it working. Its giving me better speeds then Virtualbox+SoftGPU (about 3x faster), but because its using virtualized CPU and different wrappers its not as stable and some games just wont start.

Also tried 86box, although its the most stable and works 99% of the time, its very very slow, because its emulating the GPU in software on my CPU.
