That's really cool. I wish there was a transcription, I can't read American cursive, and even less the 100 year old version of it.

Short answer: yes, vga -> dp adapters do exist and work.

Longer answer: In general, VGA is old enough that most things don't play well with it, even if theoretically possible, usually not a good idea.

Star Control 2, Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah first quote when you meet them. Chilling, voice acting is so good. Voice acting in that game was so good, I still listen to the dialogues every once in a while.

"We sense... something... something ancient... a sickly smell... a chilling wind.

My ancestors scream from within their chambers in my mind

but I cannot understand their words.

This feeling... a memory? It sickens us, and for the first time in our lives

for the first time in generations

We fear."

Man, I wish GOG would bring it back. Original was on quicktime, I've tried a couple of times throughout the years to get it working on a modern OS, no dice :(

Shameless gog dreamlist plug if you loved this game too (not mine)

Aye, audio latency was a big question I didn't find a good answer for during my research period. It is a headache on Windows as well.

You do make a really good point I didn't think about the immutables for music stuff. Cheers for that.

Cheers for the music points. I got some pointers, that Nobara is great for music stuff, and Bazzite can be optimized for it, but takes some effort and fiddling. I gotta take a look at Ardour and Bitwig, see if I vibe with them. How are they with older (my keyboard is around 2010 I believe) MIDI devices, do you happen to have experience?

Massively overworked due to summer holidays starting, so everyone wants projects done before that.

Massive hematoma in my back thigh hasn't healed properly even after 3 months, and still causing swelling and makes it hard to walk.

Considering upping my ADHD meds because they seem to be losing effectiveness (still in early stages of testing the meds, 6 months on them now).

Everything is getting expensive and even with higher than mean salary for my country, two working adults and no kids, we're barely scraping by.

ISP lied to me and my fiber is getting installed in 2027 instead of summer of 2025, so I'm stuck with 5g, but at least the transmitter is 60m from my house, so it works pretty well.

Russia, The US, radical conservatism and the climate change causes me immeasurable dread and sense of impending doom, that's causing my anxiety to get worse.

I never have time, energy and motivation at the same time to work on hobby projects I would really love to work on.

Other than that, I'm alright. It's not as bad as it sounds, could be worse. Got a job, roof over my head, no drug habits, don't really drink anymore after years of crippling alcoholism. Dog's allergies are finally under control after a very long hassle of and a lot of money, so that's good. Gotta focus on the positives.

Thank you for asking, apparently I had some stuff I wanted to get out, didn't even really realize that.

How about you, how are you doing OP? (And everyone else of course.)

S03E05 Homer Alone?

Hmm, looks like it's the US spelling for a gripping tool, whereas UK uses vice for both a personal failing or a bad habit, and a gripping tool. I'm most familiar with US spelling since I learned most of my English from video games and TV shows as wee lad.

I checked the biggest retailers in my neck of the woods, doesn't look like any of them sell it.

Yes. Thank you for noticing.
