Heh, at least it's 3D... if that's any consolation.

Ugh, you should be happy you don't use Facebook - it's like a wasteland of people who think multiplayer-only games with loot boxes and microtransactions are the pinnacle of first-person shooters. Luckily, there are are a few small islands of hope.

Having a printer at work has its advantages. It's an old and weird model, though, for some reason it can't print more than 1 copy of something. So if I need 20 copies, I'd have to print the thing 20 times. Isn't that sweet?

Of course it's not the computer, it's the emulation settings. Many old DOS games start lagging badly when played at a very high cycles value, especially real-mode programs (protected mode stuff fares better in this regard). And even if you use "auto", DBox has a tendency to favor "max" cycles, which produces the same severe lagging effect. And this is why sometimes fewer cycles can actually yield better performance... but then again, from what I've heard, Daum won't let you adjust them, so it probably operates only on auto.

My first encounter with copy protection was in Spear of Destiny, which I got as a birthday present. It was a legit copy, though, so it was not a problem - I had the manual, though sometimes I still found it difficult to answer some questions due to my poor English at the time. Yes, it doesn't just want you to check stuff on a certain page, it actually asks you questions, e.g. "Which id member might engineer some software?" or "What enemy type is shown on the page explaining how to fire your weapon?"
