this is a novelty that great talented theremin players would find entertaining for 30 seconds before going back to their expensive Moog

So... What's the modern equivalent of gallery.apk ? Looking for just a simple image viewer that shows the "collections" view by default and preferably is GPL and does not attempt any sort of internet connection.

Once we start playing the "You-know-what-I-mean" game, you can be sure the other party is committed to not taking you seriously.

This blog post is a semantic argument, not a logical one.

Yes. And they should be tattooed onto the person's arm, so there can be no mistake. Maybe a bar code?

absolutely insane take

good feedback.

take me back

Haiku OS is trying.

I think it's that Myst was released in a hungry, undersaturated market, and the competition is a lot tougher now. I truly love what Cyanworlds is doing, but the fact of the matter is, I'd rather be playing TF2 Classic, or Animal Well, or Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, than Obduction.

Another problem is, their games were popular at a time when most people didn't even have an internet connection, and therefore had far more patience for offline gaming. Their games require a LOT of patience.

Myst was also bundled with a lot of PCs. Perhaps as a cheap way to show off CDROM capabilities.

Getting games installed and working in that era was often a chore. So when people sat down to play, it was already there for them.

Myst's sequels didn't sell as well as the first, despite the power of the brand, either. Likely because of competition.

It was a ton of people's first exposure to "interactive multimedia", as I recall it being positioned at the time. I remember seeing both Myst and 7th Guest [0] in similar showcases in computer stores.

I think every single shareware/demo disc I had also had some variation/sequel to Myst in one way or another too, somehow.

No. Red book audio spec is 44100hz.

And I'd wager this guy cannot tell the difference between 44.1kHz and native 192kHz in a controlled double blind study.
