Bender89

Welcome! I recently joined about, maybe a blurry year ago!

Nice to see the mentally deranged and super brain's are out and about. Me being the former, with an occasional creative and genius idea or two to give myself some positive trait's. I can also play the guitar! Both of them!

In historical times? Yeah, they had those. You can find an article on Wikipedia about it. It wasn't a glorious existence, but better than dying on the streets. The origins of the poorhouses or workhouses went pretty far back into the medieval period. The poorhouse would always produce something that they could both consume themselves and also trade onward. The tenants would have to work for their share of the production, the amount of work for each one evenly confined by their health and age.

 

If I remember correctly, monks in some monasteries would hold and upkeep poorhouses for people without money. They'd receive some kind of funding from the crown or the church, or just as donations. Or, as mentioned above, in the form of sales from the raw production of the poorhouse. 

 

It's 3 o'clock in the morning, though, so I might not remember all the details correctly. 

Interesting, Being poor is treated like a disease these day's. Mean spirit's abound, and coldness everywhere including in myself. But somehow I think this trend of: big screen to little screen to work and to a photo op's is going to subside. But My personal boycott has left history with my own words on my life. And no proof of my most daring deeds. 

And I've taken a look at your artwork, very good stuff. My drawing of faces is never going to be that great. My drawing's tend to be cartoon like and kind of dark. Once again I have few that were never just given away or lost to time. And I've lost much of my technical skill's.

(Just keep waxing poetic bender's ghost...)

And Alorael I appreciate the insight into this issue. I think most don't realize even when you go to the hospital that the hour's of work per shift is that unreal. I'm hoping that Computer's and communication and procedures will change and or be implemented. As well as this fanatical attachment to tradition's no one really values or like's, get swept away in a neo-futurism that has the means and staying power to create that near utopia we HAVE the necessary component's of already. I'm tired of corporate feudalism and I'm typing from the safety of my mother's couch.

Phd. in what, if you don't mind me asking? and also Wow, I forget people can do that. It takes an intelligent person, or very rich family to do that. Comma

Without Obama care i'd be in the poor house too. Not that there is any poor house's left, was that a real thing anyway?

Interesting Question, I would opt for late start but all depends on the job. I've noticed that the medical profession has a whole big issue with malpractice and am a strong advocate of lowering shift hr's and weekly hour caps. But I tend to want to hasten the coming techno/scientific paradise world ran on reason and logic without undo stress and violence or undo awfulness,  instead of our greed impulse, controlled near mob rule(nice as it may be). 

I can only imagine the complexity of the human body, and have enormous respect for all involved in the medical profession, Living so close to Johns Hopkins even I forget how quick emergency rooms get flooded. I used to want to be a doctor as a child (and be an astronaut heh) but you know how those teenage year's can screw up your plan's. 

Anyway I hate seeing people abuse the hospital's and vice versa.

Any of your thought's on single payer or socialized healthcare? It make's me happy that professional's such as yourselves play these games! I guess it's good practice for quick math.

Word. and no thats not another suggestion

I got win 3.1 and exile 1 and 2 running

^this abandonia has one that you can just drag and drop into dosbox, works like a charm.

Um plus one the Marx commrade!

Interesssssssssssting..... Clicks claws*

You name three then.

I can email it all set up if this isn't working for you.

Finally got dosbox and windows 3.1 setup, if anyone wants it all ready to click and play let me know.

Dungeon Keeper 2 Is great also, Um, I can't think of a game more polar opposite(minor details aside) to majesty than dungeon keeper 1 or 2. Also they are made by Bullfrog, They make interesting games...

So I if the OP wants what he's asking for I might be able to email him warlords 2, I got it mounted ready to go if you want to sit down and tell us if its what your looking for? too tedious for me to mess with today.

True I was joking about the buying it thing. I don't have that kind of money, I would rather him keep it and do something with it. Something about the mechanics of the early exile games though... I mean, maybe a direct EXILE remake?

He should, if he can or does have it, would be to archive it or give it to us here. I mean, selling it is different than making sure it stays around. Sad if its gone, but atleast the game itself still exists.

I still have yet to set up windows 95 into dosbox, I've seem game downloads already mounted with dosbox. I'm surprised I can't find the same for an older windows mounted in dosbox for download.

Links to the sounds in particular? Most people use sound effects library's when needed doing sound effects aka Foley is an art all it's own. Also at that time recording anything and getting it on a computer was a task and a half, not to mention that when you did that on 8 or 16 bit, it wouldn't sound like what you put in.

Think he would do it for money?

Glad to have this all cleared up. I liked The I'm Guessing early exile 2 graphics, less mortal combat more legend of zelda know what I mean?

I figured if it was on the main page it wasn't months old. Figured wrong. maybe I'm not looking hard enough? I was 7 or 8.

Great I got no job no car and no goals. But I got Avernum and thats all I need. How about you?

You can keep the better graphics i'll take the 5th and 6th player character.

Reanimator,

The tenent

Messiah of evil

evil dead 2 dead by dawn

house of the dead the movie was just terrible, the games had a better story... seriously

um, anything by lucio fulci and dario argento also early Roman Polanski not low budget but good.

halloween 3(I swear Why rob zombie didn't remake this one I'll never know I mean watch this one and then image rob zombie remaking it.

I saw this movie orphan recently, was [censored]ing awesome. babadook was good.

edit, the made for tv movie DAGON Is one of the best HP Lovecraft adaptions I've yet to see.

Don't look to far inside yourself though. Use the tests and do the soul searching the conventional way. Don't do it yourself until your a little older. I know it sounds wrong but your not alone in the world and other people determine normalcy, do it yourself may lead to a drug habit, or a mental institution. Your playing these games so your the adventurous type and probably more open and curious than others, which is dangerous. Also a part time job may help you find out what your good at and how you are around people ect. The unemployment center in the US has a good aptitude test.

Plus one on majesty, and dungeon keeper is like that too if I rememer correctly, but exactly opposite. you run the dungeon.

100 great game? I remember that I'm new here too with a similar story, and we are lucky, we got a different version of exile 2 crystals souls. If that was the one you remember? did that disc have elvis in space too? and conquest and critical mass? Omg I remember those days and the addictive one was Y.A.A.C.

.Edit, the version I had had more conventional rpg graphics not the blue roads but grey brick, Also It had that knarly spiders nest just west of fort ganrick like exactly north of draco and west of ganrick. by the water.

Ps whats the deal with that version and why can't I find any info on it? is it owned by the makers of that CD? because it seemed to have more content than the other. I hope you didn't lose it somehow.

That nest was like my party tester.... I miss it. Also, jeff why did you go to a 4 person party?
