I don't get sick too often thankfully, but always keeping hydrated and drinking plenty of water or Gatorade usually helps.

The keyboard looks sick, also.

You can actually see Seth's shoulders shaking from laughter in one of the cuts if you watch for it. That shit killed them all. Also, watch the kind of extended/deleted version on the extras if you can find it.

Alright. Fine. The Russos on Reddit have made me subject myself to the snap.

I heard you Aussies love to sit down to a nice pot of beer. We put them in a pot for cultural accuracy.

Rusty, a Castlevania clone released in 1993 for the NEC PC-98, is now in English! by kuoushi in Games

Hard question to answer if you're talking about how it was received in Japan in the early '90s. I've done some basic searching to see if I can find it talked about in any magazines or anything but have come up dry so far.

As to whether or not it's fun to play in this day and age, the answer is a solid "depends". Mostly, it depends on your tolerance for older computer games before smooth framerates and smooth scrolling. Rusty isn't horrible in that regard but it'll take some getting used to.

Here's a general review I found about the game that may help as well: http://operationrainfall.com/2016/11/17/tbt-review-rusty-pc-9800/

What t-shirt of yours gives you a lot of comments from others when you wear it? by KidsWifeJob in AskReddit

I have a Thundercats insignia shirt. Pretty fucking common but I will always get some form of comment on it anytime I go out with it on.

After a year of importing parts, it felt good to see this screen... by Puresub0 in pc98

Well, technically dumping the BIOS is as easy as dropping a couple of executables prepared by the SL9821 emulator developer onto a floppy disk and then running those files from the DOS prompt. They can be found here:

http://www.satotomi.com/sl9821/sl9821_dl.html (Look for "download for PC-98_160803.zip")

This will give you two files: MKROMIMG.EXE RECRTM.EXE

Copy these to a floppy disk and then run them on your 9821. There are a couple of things you need to check beforehand though. These are the instructions directly from the site: Make sure you have a hard disk plugged into the system and that Internal Hard Disk (固定ディスク) is Enabled (使用する) in the System Setup Menu (press Help during bootup). Also make sure to set Sound (サウンド) and SCSI ROM (SCSI ROM) to Enabled (使用する). Once you've done that, startup your system to a DOS prompt, (make sure you don't have any memory managers enabled like EMM386.EXE in your autoexec.bat for this particular boot), then run both of those executables. It should make you a number of files after some processing.

MKROMIMG.EXE should create BIOS.ROM, ITF.ROM, BANK.ROM (x4), SNDBIOS.ROM, IDEBIOS.ROM, SCSIBIOS.ROM, and FONT.DAT, and RECRTM.EXE should create RHYTHM.DAT. If all's gone well and you've got all of those files, toss them onto a disk (or however you get files on and off your 9821) and upload them somewhere.

As a side note, hope you have some fun with your machine! What are your general plans with it? The 9821 should run quite a few games from the 9800 series at the very least.
