    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 :)

    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!

    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.
