probably because if they actually made fun of what was around them, they'd be canceled
@✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware: I am not kidding the FM instruments on the game I tried to play went crazy because the disks I used were dodgy as shit and it was like a vinesauce corruption :ablobjoy:
@🌲Hidden🌲@rees@Parker Banks it's been dying because instead of watching shows to know what to ripoff autists just get hooked on shit like "protogens"
@✙ dcc :pedomustdie: :phear_slackware: this was worth uploading today because it's not boring me talking over tech while zoned out it's me reacting to my pc98's floppy disks shitting itself in real time while my energy wore off (from IRL drama and the end of the day)
@1f3f74ae gold 400 is this older version before the max 400 branding, similar to how the one before that was kodacolor vr (which allegedly colorplus is)
So I haven't talked about this much due to wagecage and online desolation leaving a negative effect on me, but I managed to obtain a PC-98 era scanner. I have unfortunately not had a place to set it up yet, and while laptops usually are good substitutes for dragging out an entire desktop for one thing the PC-98 laptops do not use a normal parallel/serial port, but some mini version. This of course is a holdover from the earlier "smaller" laptops, and it's well known that Japanese computer makers were snorting some good shit.
As it turns out, with the right words on YAJ you can source out a printer and serial cable. I have done so, and will be trying to connect stuff to my 98note. I will also be seeing if I can find a Ethernet adapter for mine so I can copy files over the network easily, and the PC-98 is picky about what Ethernet cards work. PC-98 windows 98 has few drivers, and you have to use either specific ones or drivers built into the OS.
There's a really good reason I had to obtain a PC-98 era scanner; artists of the PC-98 era would scan in drawings and then use them to make that iconic sprite art that was literally anime drawings.
Turns out, multipaint and a few others support this serial scanner I picked up or should in theory. While I have desktops, I don't have much desk space in my basement and have to juggle between different computers I hook up downstairs while I can deploy this laptop anywhere when I want and have desk space.
gonna hook up my 98note in my kitchen and start messing with the pc98 era scanner I got in a few weeks since I finally ordered the cables the 98notes need to adapt a printer and scanner.
I wonder if some parallel port printers I have will work on the 98, I bought a thrift store HP Photosmart (finding parallel port inkjets is so hard these days) and Brother mono laser to test it with it.
