  • You're awesome! .

  • Red is rad, blue is bad

    I'd like it to stay the way it is. But I'm sure kuro will implement a setting for customizing that eventually! :)

  • Got the same issue on an Honor 5C

  • Thank you very much for fixing the issue, for all the work you've put in this app! And being so damn swift about it all, that's really remarkable. :) Cheers!

  • Got no "vintage" hardware sadly. In a VM it's not the same. I still have a Floppy drive, but those disks were all corrupted eons ago. I wonder how long my heaps of gamer magazine and bundle-box (bought at Aldi for practically nothing _) CDs are still gonna last...

    They were the best of times, that's for sure!

  • I had never heard of that around here (Germany). Got my first PC '99, so I should have noticed; was looking everywhere for cheap Software deals. But there were some other companies which gave out free CD-ROMs as advertising with shareware and demo games. Some of those games were never finished, lol.

    The Internet Archive has those Nestlé CDs btw :)

  • And he was still hungry... FOR THE LAMPS

  • Thoiteen'd

  • Proper Tofu, smoked. Press the water out, dice, shake in a bag with oil, sesame and flour, then stir-fry. Try that, just one more time (ofc you don't have to), with matching sides, and see how you like that. Can be quite not-so-bad.

    But I can understand that you don't like it!

  • 200+ Shareware games on a CD, played the shit outta those. And they came in magazines or were given out completely free.

    I believe demos for games should still be the norm.

  • I fucked around so long that I failed the mission. It gave a prompt that I had 17 minutes left to do the last thing, and ran out by 20 seconds or sth.

    Gotta give that game a whirl again soon, with proper textures & mods & fool around with ReShade for hours until my back hurts and I gotta lay down after an hour of actual gameplay, muhaha.

  • I forgot to mention: If the old veneer is coated with kinda thickish laquer, you should try how sanding works; if it's hard work, you could try a hot-air gun on it. You can then either scrape the old coating off while it's hot, or burn it kinda crispy - it should make the sanding-down process a lot easier.

    But wear proper masks for all those steps and make sure there's enough air flow!

    Edit: Be careful not to burn the wood if you try that method! :P

    It's gonna be hard and time-consuming work if you do it like I did, but the result is worth it.

  • I would sand 'em down, apply filler (bought, or you could, as I did, use some of the dust + wood glue) to where ever there's a big scratch or chunk missing, and for the final step, apply varnish or something like linseed oil (if the wood has a nice grain). Just did all that in an old flat my family and I are currently renovating! Hope that helps. :)

  • They don't always mean it that bad, but often enough you'll find they're ill-mannered trolls who'll ruin your day if you engage. So yeah.

  • Thank you for your work! Connect is the only Android app for lemmy that works on my EMUI/Nougat phone, so I'm really grateful I stumbled upon it. Thunder, liftoff and the likes can't connect, probably because of the old WebView version I'm using - the newer ones sadly fuck with Midori Lite :(

    I've just installed Connect earlier today and immensely enjoy it so far! I'm looking forward to maybe some additional Themes; and don't worry 'bout the bugs too much, I'm sure you've got the few main ones in your sights and will figure stuff out soon enough! :) – Keep up the good deeds!
