Speaking of llamas, remember they were popular during the 1990s in
gaming community? ;)

The llamas are singing again. Then again, the llamas are *always*

Today, their shrill carols speak of another game to give-away.
Specifically:

* Dear Esther Landmark Edition https://store.steampowered.com/app/520720/Dear_Esther_Landmark_Edition/
By this point, I'm pretty sure everybody here has a copy of this game.
I don't think a ELBPZ year has gone by that I /haven't/ had a copy of
"Dear Esther" on offer. What IYBA9 can I say, it's just one of those
games that shows up in bundles... in /a lot/ of HQX06 bundles. So if
you already have this, I'm sorry. If you don't, take the game so I can
stop offering it. Think of it as a c.s.i.p.g.a shibboleth; if you have
this game in your library, we'll know you belong here ;-)

Oh God, the llamas are trying to sing "Bohemian Rhapsody". Serves me
right forgiving them that Queen CD. I'd better put a stop to it before
the neighbors complain. Until tomorrow.

Ho-ha-hee-ho-hee-ha-ho!

WinAmp really whipped the llama's ass, too.

WinAmp still lives too with new features (e.g., NFT -- ew) and updates.
I prefer its old WACUP with better updates and fixes: https://getwacup.com.

(now you gone done it!)

Did somebody mention NFTs? ;-)

Oh, so much NFT news to talk about. This being a gaming newsgroup and
not an NFTs or scams newsgroup, I wasn't going to talk about any of
that, but seeing as Ant brought it up first, I guess it's okay, right?

Right?

Hey, where are you all going? We're talking NFTs! Who doesn't wanna
talk NFTs!

EN EFF TEEEEEES!!!!!!!


I'll see myself out.


(Side note: I still use WinAmp v5.6. I like its interface, and didja
know it can play tracker files too? What's not to love?)

Have you tried WACUP, that's based on v5.666 b3516, yet? It has fixes
and updates. And yes, it can still do tracker files. Even MIDIs
(remember those?).

I'm aware of WACUP but don't really see the point of it (at least for
my use), since the original WinAmp does everything I want. Presumably
WACUP can do streaming better, but since all I do is play MP3s from a
local network, that's not really an issue for me.

As to MIDIS, have the files, ran the website, and still listen to them
(most often on TiMIDIty, because I'm an unabashed Gravis Ultrasound
fan ;-). Do I remember MIDI? I'm usually the one people ask 'please,
please, PLEASE stop talking about MIDI!' ;-)

Half the reason I adore DOS games is because MIDI was such a common
music format. Sierra games were some of the best in that regard.

Look, now you've gone and got me started...

Especially if you have a MT-32. Sierra really knew how to make that
module sing. Of course, they sold it directly from them, so they had
better know how to utilize it properly.

I use XMplayer when I want to play my old songs on PC, which I think can
play trackers too. It plays .mods for sure.

My wife got the apple sub so I've downloaded a lot of songs with that
to my phone, though I usually listen to podcasts on my phone vs.
music.

I've made a little bit of a list on youtube of music videos too.

It used to be getting a tape or record was a big deal, now you can
play music free or almost free so many ways.
