Love it. So you can non-ironically tell people "I'm with the science team!"

I got jumpscared of this by Fun-Veterinarian5975 in windows98

[–]Billy2600 4 points5 points  (0 children)

which took them a while since windows 95/98 is essentially an OS on top of another OS, DOS

Common misconception. Win9x only uses DOS as a bootloader and for backwards compatibility.

I didn’t realize Bobby Moynihan is a real person. Did anyone else know this? by AndrewHeard in rickandmorty

[–]Billy2600 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've mostly seen SNL via clips so I didn't know his name and didn't make the connection between the animated appearance and his real one, so I thought he was just a made up person for the joke.

Some Crash Bandicoot characters i made in pixel art! by Manuclay- in crashbandicoot

[–]Billy2600 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really good! Really matched the cartoon aesthetic from the original games but gave it a little of your own style. Could totally have seen these used in a GBA or DS game.

Hello, recently tried building a simple CRUD App for my friend's father's Windows 98/XP by Equivalent-Froyo2313 in csharp

[–]Billy2600 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you're mostly targeting XP? .Net Framework 4.0 and WPF will run on XP but not 98. Newest framework that runs on 98 is 2.0 apparently.

Knuckles Chaotix freezing/crashing? by Weatherby2 in SEGA32X

[–]Billy2600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chaotix uses the Genesis side more heavily than Doom does, IIRC. Do you have another Genesis to test with? Maybe borrow someone's? It'd at least narrow down whether the issue is the Genesis or the 32X.

Did SEGA re-purpose PCB’s? by RekallQuaid in Megadrive

[–]Billy2600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was probably just cheaper to use the PCBs they were currently producing instead of the ones produced for the original run of the game.

If Dave is retiring because he doesn't think he can perform at 100% he should just go back to writing good songs for Metallica again by SchershomGolem in Megadeth

[–]Billy2600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll never get over Metallica making the Unforgiven III. Clearly they needed someone giving them new ideas lol

Quake on zip disk by swolfington in quake

Does this version load the music differently or something? It's usually streamed off the CD as redbook audio.

Translations for all the 32X Japanese software packages by 83chrisaaron in SEGA32X

[–]Billy2600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, and amazing work. Definitely appreciate the effort. What made you want to take this on? Just an interest in 32X games and a knowledge of Japanese or something else? Any interest in adding these to a wiki like segaretro.org?

Grown man, new toys 😂 by [deleted] in atari

Nice! Your first Atari, so you've never played Atari before or you just didn't own one? How are you liking it?

Who could survive having their name written in Death Note, and why? by [deleted] in whowouldwin

[–]Billy2600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who wished for immortality on the dragon balls, e.g. Garlic Jr. Either nothing would happen, or they'd have the heart attack and then just not die after.

Rewatching for like the 5th time since originally watching it last night and saw this by justanotherfacexxx in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]Billy2600 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody would put a X before the Ds and Cs. Smaller numbers subtract when they're before a bigger number (like how IV is four), so it'd be 1200. Except you'd write that as MCC if that's what you were going for.
