Do you have any weird gaming / sound memory combinations?

It was 1998. My brother got Tenchu for Christmas. He also got the Phil Collins' Greatest Hits CD. Which is why I can't play this without singing Easy Lover.

@PixelBandits My mum got Abba Gold the same Christmas I got Super Mario Galaxy. Whenever I hear Abba now, I just see a little round plumber whizzing around a planet

Got a very odd #WebDev problem. I have two web servers: one hosted on Azure VM, the other on @beasts
I have a PHPMailer script on each one, and set up in exactly the same way, using the same version of PHP. When trying to send mail through Office 365 SMTP, the Beasts server works perfectly, but Azure does not.

The error I get is "535 Incorrect authentication data" (could not authenticate). How can this be, when the creds are the same either side and one works fine?

(Boosts appreciated)

Because routine is important, I'm declaring the inaugural .

Here's the deal: every Sunday, I'm going to put on a nice tee/shirt and share it with that hashtag, and I'd love to see yours.

Band shirts are traditional, but I'm more than happy to see geek tees, or - get this - actual fashion sense.

You can just post a pic, or share a bit more about it. Faces not required, use the hashtag if you like, reply as you like, admire one another's outfits. 🖤​

I'm wearing an Ancst short-sleeve today.

https://angstnoise.bandcamp.com/music

They make anti-fascist black metal, dark ambient, crust and blackened metalcore.

The shirt is further evidence that, if you're an RABM band that prints black-white-gold tees, I will buy them.

Trying to avoid eye contact with today's pic, which looks inadvertently dramatic.

@HauntedOwlbear I hope I don't give anyone flashbacks with this shirt.

Did another Mac thing! After a false start last night, #OpenSuse #MicroOS is now up and running. And it's blummin' fast for an old girl.

Best part is, it turns out the fastest processor this Mac can take is like £15-20 on eBay. That plus a bit of extra RAM will make this into a tidy little performer. (Not a Performa, sadly.) (Also not that little.)

Quiet enough to keep in the living room, too.

It's somewhat frustrating that I have 32GB of perfectly usable DDR3 RAM, but the Mac won't boot with it in - either because it's not ECC, or it's slightly too fast. Poopins.

lunarloony,
@lunarloony@dosgame.club avatar

@vga256 Hmm, okay. Maybe the RAM is bad then. I also read some stuff about the fourth RAM slot operating independently of the other three?

lunarloony,
@lunarloony@dosgame.club avatar

@vga256 Good to know.

For curiosity's sake, I tried my RAM again, DIMM by DIMM, and my Mac didn't like any of it at all. Tried it alongside the RAM it came with (keeping in mind what you said about mixing RAM) and I got a red LED. So... I think I will have to seek out something that will definitely work, because it's clearly not keen on what I already have. Shouldn't be too expensive, though.

What did I get done today?

I did some dishes
I did some laundry
I took all our old dvds and cds and organized them in a binder (sorry. Not keeping the cases).

That's better than nothing!

lunarloony,
@lunarloony@dosgame.club avatar

@Bogusmeatfactory My dad did the CD thing! Except he also kept the cases. And all his burnt discs from like 2003. And all the dodgy printed covers for them, still in their totally legit cases. I don't get it.

lunarloony,
@lunarloony@dosgame.club avatar

@Bogusmeatfactory I'm mostly digital these days, but I'll get discs of music I really care about. Like the crazy expensive Jethro Tull remasters. I am a sucker, I know!

What's the most outrageous price gouging you've done in a video game?

Just look at this burger stand! Ignore the fact that it's selling sandwiches (no sides) for $10 on top of an already overzealous ticket price.

@PixelBandits There's a neat little trick in RollerCoaster Tycoon, whereby if a guest is already queueing for a ride, they'll pay to get on no matter what (assuming they have enough cash on hand). So you can reduce a ride's cost to, like, 10p a ticket; then when you have dozen of people in the queue, pop it up to £10 or even higher!

    This is Spooky and we've had her about a week now. She was my brother's cat, but they had to give her up for Reasons™ so we have now stolen her, bwahaha.

    She is... quite round

    @aetataureate Oh yes, it's nothing bad. Just that he's a teacher so I err on the side of caution vis-à-vis his personal life.

    Finally sorted out shelving for my #BigBoxGames collection! It's stacked two boxes deep, so there are roughly twice as many games as you see here (200-ish in all).
    Eventually I'll get another unit like this and so I can have the rest out and on display, but this is better than nothing!

    ...now I just have to put a curtain up so they don't get all sunbleached 😅

    @vga256 Thankyou! You may get a kick out of the fact I have like three massive clipart libraries too. Boxed productivity software is my Achilles heel apparently

    lunarloony,

    @vga256 Oh yes. That reminds me, I still have some old boxed versions of SuSE Linux on my eBay watchlist...
