Now that I’ve discovered emulators are now allowed on iOS, I’m playing through the original PS version of Chrono Cross.

The ability to use save states and jump back into a session within seconds is HUGE for me. No vendor logos, no waiting for save points. Just instant save and recall.

Build. Mode. Music.

Half-Life and its mods defined my high school years. I have core memories of TFC 2fort with Eminem’s “Stan” playing in the background. Of finding a server, adding it to my Favorites, and eventually becoming part of the community.

Valve’s eventual inclusion of voice chat elevated the social aspect to another level.

DOOR. STUCK.

Definitely don’t defrag regularly because, yes, it will wear out the SSD. However, defragging once will move the files into a contiguous chunk of the partition and allow you greater success at shrinking it.

I seem to remember disabling hibernation and swapfile, then defragging, seemed to significantly increase the chances of success shrinking an active partition.

(Re-enable hibernation/swap after the shrink operation is finished.)

I’m getting GlaDOS vibes from this one.

This as well as its GUI are what I use. It is a bit annoying as you have to redo some steps after windows or driver updates.

If you mean the “Manually block sleep and screen locking” toggle in the battery icon in the systray, then no, that didn’t stop the lid action.

Such courage! /s

Real nerds learned how to create SP-MIDIs and structured them to degrade gracefully no matter how limited your phone’s synth chip was.
