I remember playing a version of this on MS-DOS, but I don't think that version included the Marcus Aurelius quotes.

Stock market making dividends toxic to invest in(from the tax perspective) is one of the reasons our stock market is a big ole ponzi scheme, companies don't need to be liquid to grow to giant market caps. It means that large publicly traded businesses can not even be solvent and out compete smaller businesses to claim more market share. Publicly traded business has devolved into elaborate ponzi schemes at this point. They will somehow magically outgrow the rate of inflation and never pay a dividend and that will be the best investment mechanism... this is like giving your retirement account to a really successful gambler... all those entities eventually falter leading to them being aquired by the next big thing, its a whole human centepede fraud that is made possible through imprudent tax policy created by people who want to conceal the fact they are driving inflation through the roof and that they are pushing the federal government towards insolvancy.

Hey this is fascinating. Might you add a link to the Internet Archive file please?

I got out of my university language requirement by taking programming in basic. It was so much fun! Mydad was av biology professor. He made a simple dungeon crawl/fantasy fighter type game in basic. He also made games to teach his students about genetics. Back in the day the real graphics lived in our minds.

I def need an automapper program for this game before I get heavy into it lol

I played it on Apple ii

So it's not nettrek. I never understood why text based Star Trek games are always about combat, when the series only had two ship battles, and they were never about clearing a sector of enemy ships.

RPG maker made games are getting a bit ridiculous - and Eminage is legit just... a Wizardry Gaiden with a different name?

Why is he fully alive though? lol I need a mapper program because goddamn do I NOT feel like drawing on graph paper again lol....

The first computer game I ever played was the Sigma 7 version in mid-70s, when my Honeywell engineer dad took me to work one day. It was incomprehensible to me but I got on well with Hunt the Wumpus.

Is it me or dose he have just the softest spoken voice lol. You should have you explain to people why a game costs what it dose. In the end games are hobbies, hobbies require money. I've dumped so much into mounts and pets in WOW. Anyways I recently got back into wizard (since snes days) and bought this one. I made the mistake of exploring too far too soon and wiped lol. And most rolls were 28's so I had good stats. Back to the drawing board lol

I'd swear I've played it too on my old Win98 PC, but it's in storage and the website I used to download QBasic programs from has been dead for like 15 years. I'll have to check the Internet Archive to see if I can find it there. Might be fun to port it to a modern computer too.

Man. You're bringing me back. My little brother and I lost a whole weekend coding all 10,000 lines of Super Star Trek, only to realize we had the wrong version of David H Ahl's BASIC Computer Games. Not compatible with grandpa's computer. My favorite iteration of the various "Star Trek" games was the one by Nels Adersen, who also created Mahjong for DOS. Andersen deserves a place in the gaming hall of fame for his efforts.

Hello. I'm a huge fan of Elminage Gothic and, after calming myself down, I would like to say a few things. The Elminage games are Wizardry, but more. More classes, more equipment, more spells, more enemies. The old UI and menus are kept for the sake of nostalgia. If you've played Wizardry, the UI and menus of Elminage should be familiar and comfortable, as I think was the developers' intent. It's meant to be as "pick up and go" as possible, hence the premade characters. However, once the player has gotten into the game they can start experimenting with the new classes. I don't want to spoil too much, but some examples of things you can do are: 1) The servant class can auto-use items like potions and antidotes at the end of a turn, but they need to keep their medicine bag stocked. Thieves, upon reaching mastery, can steal herbs and potions from enemies to keep the servant stocked up. Additionally, servants make for decent melee attackers. 2) The hunter class retains alchemist spells known and number of uses when an alchemist class changes into a hunter. At mastery, hunters can attack all enemies with an ailment once each at the end of a turn. Alchemist spells are largely focused on inflicting ailments, so your alchemist -> hunter can afflict a row of enemies with an ailment then use their mastery skill to get an extra attack on those enemies at the end of the turn. 3) The summoner class can form a contract with a monster and turn it into a seventh party member. The contracted monster retains all their unique traits. You can contract a ghost type enemy, which can't be harmed by normal attacks, and then your alchemist can cast a taunt spell on the ghost to force enemies to attack it. This makes a great tank against enemies that can behead or level drain on a normal attack. At level 13 mages can learn the teleport spell which lets you teleport to any previously visited normal tile in the dungeon. Once you have 2 or more casts of teleport, you never need shortcuts ever again because you can teleport anywhere any time you want. This opens up Elminage to creating far more complicated maps and puzzles. As you progress through Elminage Gothic, the map design gets so much more complex. The navigation puzzles are so much beyond what other dungeon crawlers have to offer, including Etrian odyssey. Elminage Gothic really isn't as much of a slog as people make it out to be. People only think that because they don't understand it. Once you know what you're doing, you can start a new game of Elminage Gothic and get through all of the first dungeon with the premade characters in about an hour. Besides, isn't the long journey and experimentation why people play these games? The slow and steady progress is satisfying. It can't be any worse than farming B3F of Wizardry 1 for hours trying to get a damn shortsword+1 to drop, can it? Elminage also has a lot of quality of life that Wizardry doesn't have, like being able to manually save and the bone slippers item which automatically transports your party to the temple in the event of a party wipe. You don't have to play with your fingers on the proverbial latch anymore! Please reconsider your take on these games. Elminage Gothic in particular is such a masterpiece that you're going to miss out on because you, and I hate to risk being rude, didn't fully understand it or take the time to appreciate it. These games were made for people like you; older folks who played Wizardry as a kid. You're primed to be able to understand and recognize its beauty. PLEASE for the love of God reconsider. :(

Ahhhh!! The Father of Tradewinds and Sea Trader: Rise of Taipan!! Tradewinds was always a comfort game to me, might need to try the OG sometime.

its unfortunate people made these games to go unnoticed

I always loved RPGs, from the tabletops to video games, and when it comes to video games i never really played anything older than Super Nintendo RPGs, Final Fantasy 4 might the oldest i ever played. But i always heard about the classics, the pioneers of the RPG video games, things like FF1 (witch i did play on the GBA port), Rogue, Ultima, and of course Wizardry. Those first generation of video game RPG always had a Mysterious and Aluring vibe to me, like some ancient dungeon, old and merciless, where one wrong step or unlucky break could kill you, But also, the reward of beating them being way more satisfying because of their difficulty and limited hardware making it a more frustrating experience. What made me finally get the courage to give these old RPGs a chance was completing a 3 year old campaign of ADnD (AKA D&D 2e) with my group. The whole vibe of old, classic fantasy with its gritty setting and brutal gameplay was a thing i learned to love with this campaign. Ever loss was heavy, but every victory was something to celebrate over, because of the brutality of the TTRPG we played not only way more cautiously, but also, roleplayed our characters with much more love and attention. to this day, my main character from that campaign, a ex-slave Fighter named Teryal, is still my favorite character i ever created for a TTRPG. I learned to love the old RPG culture because of this campaign, and thats why i began to research on how to get into Wizardry, being the RPG video game that (to my understanding) pioneered the whole genre, and without it a bunch of the RPGs and JRPGs i love would have not existed. Thank you a lot for this video to help me get started on the first trilogy. I was pretty lost on how should i start since i discovered that the first few wizardry had a bunch of different ports, and i wanted to make sure to play the "definitive" edition of it. By what you explained i will see to play the ps1 version since i was intersted on the whole trilogy.

Hello! I'm a very young person, who is in love with anything RPG/JRPG. So i recently found out about this series and been struggling on how to start. So this video was amazing, thank you so much! For allowing people like me who never had the chance to grow up with these old masterpieces, to be able to find the necessary information to play them. Surprisingly hard to find info on things you never grew up on And i must say this video is incredibly charming. Your voice is quite soothing. Its clear how passionate you are ^^

Agreed brother. Fantastic font.

Thanks for giving these a try! I basically agree with your takeaways -- and Gothic is certainly be a slog, but as you know, for some of us that's part of the charm. Great video as always!

There are much better videos out there that explain the concepts of logic gates and computers. This one is just plain sh*t. Don't waste your time on this garbage video.

The most impressive to me, is that you recognized the map from the game. GG

Great video, thank you! One question, though, is that a title bar with included toolbar in Emacs, like modern Gnome applications?

thank you, excited to dig into this!

Another great video I suspect in the <**> section, the intent was probably that you were meant to (re-)implement <*> in terms of =<< , rather than just reusing the implementation from the Applicative instance; this demonstrates that bind is "more powerful" than apply (because you can implement one with the other (given <$>), but not vice versa) Also, if you're open to some unsolicited advice, I think (while you're learning) you might benefit from turning the ligature font off

Since nobody commented on this I think the intuition behind the `Reader` being actually a function from t -> a is that you just consider that `t` as a dependency to your computation. You can see that a parameter to a function is a dependency itself, that's why they are the same in the end. The difference IMO is that the `t` is shared with all the computations and by using type classes you don't have to carry it over manually, but it's done for you under the hood.

This is great thank you! picking this up in the Steam Sale. and now i have to read about stats, races, and classes! Hoping you or someone else has an introduction for my old man brain. been a very long time!

I have absolutely no idea how you got such good RNG in the SNES version. When I played the SNES version, I lost 4 thieves to poison needles because they kept failing to disarm. One of those thieves had 19 bonus points. lol

Actually, I was surprised I got to the optimal solution straight away. I can try to explain what my seasoning behind that by points: 1. I need to transform a list into something else, so FoldRight. 1a. The type of something else must be the same as the accumulator and the base case for input "Nil". So it must be "Full Empty" as per example of type "Optional (List a)". so we got already to "foldRight (_helpmeobiwan) (Full Nil)" 2. The function will get as input an "Optional a" (from the input list) and an "Optional (List a)" (from the accumulator). We need an "Optional (List a)" as a result. What I want is to take that "a" and put it into the accumulator "List a". So ":." comes into play. 3. Do I have something to step inside the "Optional"s, get the two values, combine them, and rewrap everything?? (If not I guess I can do a flatMap/map chain) Search in the Optional file... 4. Found twice optional that require a function (a -> b -> c). In the case of ":.": - "a" is "a" 😅 - "b" is "List a" - "c" is "List a" I hope this makes it clear. I'm terrible at explaining/teaching 😄

Bro I don't think AI image generators were a thing 6 years ago when this video was published

can u share me the website link so i can play and learn accounting from them too

I seem to remember I started on Sherlock on Windows 3 and played it rather a lot. What I found very amusing at the time was that I also got my best friend's father hooked and he played it even more. Strangely, I never got into any of the other Kaser games back then, but I am happy to report that I finally gave Honeycomb another go, ended up buying it and am now officially hooked - more than 30 years after my Sherlock glory days! Praise be to the creator of these excellent, invigorating games that somehow do not give you the feeling that you should have done something better with your time, like so many modern games do. Am also very happy I found that interview in the process, thanks for that!

Hi, thanks for the video, it's extremely useful! Can I ask you by the way what would you use the 'Journal Entries' tab for, then? Since apparently one can manage everything between the Payments, Receipts and Transfers, the Journal Entries option confuses me. Thanks in advance.

TIS-100 was much better

I enjoyed this review in 2022 and again yesterday. Thanks! A little late, but.. to understand better, I made a formatted transcript and tried to summarise the essential points - see my 2024-11-14 post "Review of Plain Text Accounting: An Opinionated View (2022)" on the PTA forum. I also added a few questions/comments, any replies welcome there or here.

I didn't understannd the last zr function can anyone explain???

hi, can we find your pixel art somewhere?

Obrigada!

Consider expression >>> (+) <$> [1, 2] <*> [3, 4] [4,5,5,6] The application (<*>) for lists is declared in terms of the list comrehension, this is why the result is a left-biased combination of the two lists. Now, replace the addition (+) with a binary function that must ignore the rightt argument and merely yield the left one. What this function could be? Of course, this is const: >>> const <$> [1, 2] <*> [3, 4] [1,1,2,2] What if we want to flip arguments (i.e. return rights)? Use flip const (which happens to be same as const id): >>> flip const <$> [1, 2] <*> [3, 4] [3,4,3,4] So, fmap const (aka (const <$>) aka (<$>) const) is what is needed for (<*) (btw, remember parse errors you got with expressions like const <$>: you could put parentheses around such expressions to make compiler parse them, these parentheses-surrounded expressions are called sections of an infix function). Symmetrically, fmap (flip const) is what is needed for (*>). To make them useful without the applicative operator (<*>), we must lift them over it instead of fmap-ing. >>> leftAp = liftA2 const >>> [1, 2] `leftAp` [3, 4] [1,1,2,2] >>> rightAp = liftA2 (flip const) >>> [1, 2] `rightAp` [3, 4] [3,4,3,4]

Currently on SNES emulator, pick it up for the battery consumption on my ipad vs ps1. I also understand the font, can’t explain why; if you know you know.

Purchased and played the 5 ordeals today for about 4 hours. Ended up losing my entire party in the first level of the first castle. How on earth do I get my party back? Please dont tell me I have to start again? Also, why can't I save? I played and completed wizardry 6/7/8 back in the day, and they were nowhere near this brutal/unhelpful. I may have to request a refund. I dont like the idea of losing a party outright that i've invested my time into. Also, having to draw your own maps is just too much. The others at least had a map that was always on and just worked. I think I may be a bit out of touch with retro gaming. Really struggled with this.

This channel really deserves more recognition. It’s just so amazing! Why aren’t more people seeing this?

I played the crap out of this game. The Atari 800 version didn't scroll up like the Apple version. So as your playing the map was always visible. I remember when i would launch an attack, i could visualize the planes taking off just like in the movies! One of my all time favorites!

Thanks for this video, I will buy this game next time it goes on sale

Man you have the perfect voice. Like if you did audiobooks, chef kiss

What a lovely game, all the diverse puzzles, different characters, and interesting stories! Even the sound effects and graphics were unique and strangely personal. I played the shareware when I was around 8, and it got me closer with my dad who helped me with the puzzles. I have never forgotten the experience of the game. Thank you for the interview!

Ahh, book of Softkeys that originated from (Hardcore) Computist. Loved those mags!
