It seems to run fine, what would faulty capacitors cause?

For All Mankind on Apple+ is very good. I finished season 1 last night.

Age of Empires.

If you're going for the Doom series, might as well snag Duke Nukem 3-D and/or Star Wards: Dark Forces. Two of the better Doom clones from that era. And with the Doom files on your computer, that also gives you access to all sorts of fan-made .wads where they took the source code to make their own levels for the game, including full games. A few of them, like the two Memento Mori games, Requiem and Alien Vendetta, are very good. Tougher and more complex levels than Doom 2.

I forgot about Duke Nukem.

I kind of want to get my hands on an old 486 machine with 5.25" and 3.5" drives.

Is that the one where you hit a penguin with a club to see how far it would go?

I definitely dabbled a bit with the original C&C as a kid. Probably worth trying to find a copy.

I recently took possession of an old Sony Vaio desktop running Windows XP that was sitting idle at my mom's place because I wanted to play Sim City 2000. I don't think it had been turned on since about 2007 or so.

Anyway, got it up and running and it works great. Now I want to add some more games to my collection.

What computer games were you playing in the 80s/90s/00s that I should check out?

A few that I know I want to get my hands on:

Wolfenstein 3D
Doom (all of them)
Quake

If you've got any old cd rom or 3.5" disk games taking up space you'd like to get rid of, let me know.

Just put a dollar on the Jets to beat the Lions in the Super Bowl at +19000.

Under 9.5 is +120. Over is -148. Bettors seem to like Kirk Cousins.

Put a large sum ($5) on the Jets winning the Super Bowl. What I found odd was the Falcons had lower odds than the Jets did. Am I missing something there? Falcons were +2400, Jets +2700.

These pencil-necked dweebs should be physically removed. I wonder why they aren't showing their faces...

Wristbands are being used to identify anti-Israel students at @UCLA so that they are allowed to enter Royce Quad, Royce Hall, and Powell Library.

Some students are allowed in and out, others are kept out. This is ILLEGAL and UCLA is not just tolerating it but facilitating it. pic.twitter.com/CbdodKLK53

lmao, of course she is.

I did a quick search and found that this lady, who refused to reveal her name, is named Johannah King-Slutzky.

She is a paid instructor & PhD candidate at Columbia studying "theories of the imagination & poetry as interpreted through a Marxian lens"

So how long do they let this shit go on on all of these campuses? Hopefully they all see a drastic drop in future enrollment. 

Jets drafted a CB from the CFL. I didn't know that was a thing.
