It's been a year and a few months since I've joined PCKF (although I've been lurking for longer), so it's time for a change. A new avatar that isn't super big and fits in with the retro gaming theme, and a signature that is keen related. (Gumi is still my avatar though because I am a giant weeb)

Looking at my old posts, and I regret some of the posts I've made, like that one time I posted that anime gif. Oh well. The internet can laugh at me if they want too.

One more thing: reading my old posts, I guess people are under the impression that I hate some of the keen devs. I don't, and I was mostly joking in those posts. While it's possible I may have hated them at one point, I don't anymore.

Fourteen, actually, as it turns out. Inclusive of Irish - an unsual move but apt I suppose given where Romero actually lives now. I didn't see it at the time but it's a little bit mindblowing to see Dangerous Dave mentioned in the banal national media. Almost as mindblowing as the time circa 2000 when I heard KeenDreams mentioned on Irish national television (I believe the show was something called "Cyber Stream").

God I miss childhood
I keep wondering if the move to Ireland was a tax dodge hah.

So, I'm posting this because I know there are a few people here praising MS Paint (or at least when it used to be great for pixel artist). Apparently, Microsoft is finally going to redesign the familiar program from the ground up and make it an app with really cool 3D features and touch screen support.

Check out these videos that show how cool the 3D features are:

Personally, I've never been a huge fan of MS Paint, but ever since I've always looked in every new version of windows in hope to see it evolved and getting better, but that almost never happened. Until now. I can't wait for the final version to try it out!

This is neat. When I watched the video earlier I was thinking the 3D aspect would work brilliantly with the Hololens. And on its own, obviously, because yay 3D graphics.

The new Paint looks like one of the easiest 3D imaging programs out, too.

Meh, I'm still using older paint. If I want anything with 3d drawing and other stuff like that, I will not be using paint. :rolleyes

But will they charge for it, like they do with Solitaire?

Hey guys! Do you want to play new mods? Today I've figured out how to play new mods!!!

It's simple, actually. But be warned: do it on your own risk!

All you need to do is to change the date. For example, change the year to year 2017, like 16-Oct-2017. Or even better: change it to 16-Oct-2018! Now simply restart and open the forum again. There! Everything will be lit as unread and you'll be able to see and play all the new mods that will be released till 16-Oct-2018! Neat eh? When you finish the mods released to that date, you can continue to change the date to 2019, 2020, 2025 etc. to get even more mods!

So now you know.

Of course. I even went so far as to force it to work in Linux under Wine (I had to copy some DLLs). HA! Take that, Microsoft!!!

This is an image on Romero's smugmug that I find somewhat unsettling. There is no description, but the title seems to indicate that this was an early title screen for Commander Keen 4.

Happy Halloween. :mortlol

Nah, I'd say it's part dithering and part jpg artifacts.
