  1. Steps by gurps_npc · · Score: 1 · on Why Some People Can Hear Silent GIF (bbc.com)

    Step 1) Download and install a free fequency meter, like the ones from this website: http://www.winsite.com/frequen...

    Step 2) Turn it on.

    Step 3) Play video

    Step 4) Tell people that if the frequency meter can't detect it, then their speaker can't be making any noise. It is entirely psychological.

    Step 5) When they insist, mute your computer secretly and play the video again. Then show that the computer was on MUTE.

    This is not something hard to do, nor hard to understand. It's barely interesting. You want to show me something, then show the McGurk effect ( where a fa is heard when ba is said) https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

    You could use DOSBox to run Windows 3.1, in case AmiPro doesn't work under Wine.
    If you choose this route, you might want to download S3 video drivers for Windows 3.1, so you can choose a higher video resolution.

  3. Re:Nethack by jesup · · Score: 1 · on What Are Your Top Five 'Comfort' Games?
    Nethack is, of course, the ultimate comfort game. Just don't hit your dog! I still play it, and there's an 'online' tournament every fall starting on Halloween (hosted by /dev/null). (And of course, extra nasties on Halloween (and full moons, and Friday the 13th, etc).


    2. Snood. Mindless and as slow as you want (except the ridiculous armageddon level where time's an issue)

    3. Civ X (any Civ - 1, 2, 3, 4). Need I say more.

    4. Jewels95 (I kept the install; you can find it here though).

    5. Mahjong. Ok, so 95% of "Mahjong" titles have nothing to do with real Mahjong other than using the tiles, and are really just "matching" games. It's been a comfort game for me since it first came out for the Amiga in 1986-1987ish.

  4. Re:Blackout Game by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Experimenting With Light on Apple Laptops

    I made a version of that game in Visual Basic around the time Lights Out came out. It'll run on windows, or Linux with WINE. Don't know about macs. Doesn't light up their keyboards, i'm afraid.

    Alternatively, you can use PDF SpeedUp. Works wonders.
