Pixel #art source versus how it actually looked like on an arcade, television and early home computer CRTs.

90's PC displays had sharper pixels but still had a mild anti-aliasing effect that should not be ignored in emulation.

This cute dog is a monster. He can open doors and has developed a habit of bursting into the room when you’re sleeping. When I (lovingly) told him he’s a monster, he struck this pose. This is why he always wins and we are very tired.

It's Doom (in Quake), so exagerrated violence 

I can see a C&D in this mod's future. :blobawkward:

ddrescue finally finished yesterday, and it was able to get 99.91% of the drive. The partition table was corrupted, but I was able to use testdisk on the ddrescue image to rebuild it and then repair the NTFS file table to copy everything off.
