Or set up your IrDA driver for a dongle that it does not really recognize.

Settings was utterly useless for this. Long live the control panel!

Lets also not forget Morricone’s friend and collaborator Bruno Nicolai.

He was every bit as influential to the spaghetti western and Italian movie scene.

Spaghetti westerns are the best!

It’s really interesting how early films like A Fistful of Dollars took inspiration from Japanese cinema but in return they had a great influence on Japanese culture and media going forward.

Radio Free Fedi is a fantastic service! Love it!!

It was an old '87 Pontiac Bonneville. It had a 350 and had some oomph. The thing was built like a tank. I loved it!

My favorite thing of all was the fact that it would automatically turn on the headlights when it was dark and this feature was called the ‘‘Twilight Sentinel’’.

I always thought it sounded like some epic fantasy novel or game.

I’m quite fond of Paint.net on Windows, especially with the boltbait plugin pack.

It’s powerful, easy to use and if it cannot do something, there are tons of user developed plugins.

Yep. I got hit with this this morning when I turned on my TV before heading work.

I thought to myself ‘‘Well… I hadn’t planned on suing you but now I’m not so sure. Lol’’

Yeah. This is complete BS and has me looking at computer monitors for a suitable replacement. I went ahead and agreed to their terms and my TV still works great but when it comes time to replace it, I’ll be damned if I get another Smart TV.

Well… SNK had released a few installments of King of Fighters by the time Fighters Megamix was released, but other than that, yeah.

Sega definitely beat Smash Brothers and other titles to the punch.

I agree. They should have stuck with their ideas for several installments. Sega has way too many one-off games that are fantastic and deserve sequels.

Fighters Megamix was the best!!! I would quite literally hand over one of my kidneys for AAA remake.

Ha! Ya know, you’re probably spot on with this. I think by this point they have a pretty long history of not paying.

Regardless, I still want to be a hacker. 😎

The real life changing advice ⬆️

It’s days like this that make me wish I were a 1337 h4x0r.

Whoever did this… you forever have my gratitude and you are an inspiration to us all.

It’s almost like some countries prioratize the well being of their people…

Thanks! I do what I can. Lol

I sure hope so.

I can somewhat understand a company putting Denuvo in a new game until they recoup costs, I still won’t buy it until then, but I can understand the logic.

Having said that, I feel it should be a priority to remove it once they have got their money back.

Like a dragon is several years old by now and they have games even older that still have denuvo…

Yep! I had the same reaction.

I was so close to buying it during the last sale and then realized it had Denuvo and noped outta that sale real quick.

I don’t know why Sega is so hellbent on putting Denuvo in so many of their releases… and then takes FOREVER to remove it, if they ever do.

Ugh…

This is seriously awesome! Thank you for suggesting this.

I have added a small amount of area around my city but this will make it much easier to fill in the gaps.

Yep! Listen to the wise words of Bobandy.

IrfanView is a mainstay on my PC since I came across it years ago along with SumatraPDF.

Those are some memories! I don’t really have an answer to your question but thought I would share some of my own experiences.

I remember toying around with edonkey 2000 back in the day, but it was slow and I had dial up. I don’t believe I ever tried emule.

Direct Connect was really interesting, but as you said, search was somewhat limited.

I think I enjoyed Direct Connect because it was like the thrill of the hunt. You never really knew what you were going to find. I remember spending hours just combing through people’s share folders and finding all sorts of crazy things.

I also remember there was a decent anime community on there. I remember downloading tons of it.

I personally had better results with Kazaa. I used it for a couple of years and then moved to Sharaza and Ares.

Sharaza was a good catchall that searched or utilized multiple networks like Gnutella, Gnutella 2, bit torrent etc. It replaced multiple p2p programs for me.

Ares had its own network, I believe. I remember being able to find tons of stuff on there that I could not find on other networks. I also liked the fact that it could have irc style rooms that you could set up, join, and share.

Ares was really unique and I would probably still be using it if Bit torrent did not fulfill my needs.

Having said all that. Emule sounds like it had some great ideas and it’s sad to see they were not developed further.
