  • Honestly, with all the fuckery going on, nothing has changed. Gamestop has got an “out” for when it does happen and if people blame them they can say they offered up shares.

    The company is not going bankrupt any time soon, making the shorts even more fucked. The drs numbers haven’t changed, only the percentage. Locking down the float was always an unobtainable dream, but worth a shot. And even then if you believe the DD there are so many shorts that the dilution is just a drop in the water.

    Their cash on hand is now >40% of their market cap, making this the smartest investment from an objective and squeeze-less point of view. Add in the shorting and fuckery that still goes on to this day, I don’t see a problem.

    Momentum was probably still going to lose if they didn’t dilute, considering this is one of the most, if not the most manipulated stock on the market.

    When MOASS happens, it happens. All the rest is just noise.




















  • The thing with win9x on dosbox pure is that it makes a hard drive image running the os. Then you have to mount the image of the game to install it. This means you probably have to make a different image with the os and the game installed auto running during startup for every seperate game.

    I don’t think there’s an easy and disk space efficient way to do this unfortunately.

    As for installing windows 98, you have to create a hard disk image with imgmake first. Then you have to mount the boot disk as floppy, and the windows cd as cd rom drive. Only then can you install windows 98. You don’t need a boot floppy only if you have the OEM Full edition.
