1. Apologies if I got your gender wrong. My bad. 2. No, I took the time to try and explain why you were misunderstanding something. (Also, it's true. I'm an avid re-editor, I can't help it.) 3. More personal attacks 🤷‍♂️

Dude, I can't think of any way to explain it any clearer than I already have. I promise you that the answer as to why this is wrong lies within the long message that has caused you so much offence.

I took the time to explain in great technical detail what they were misunderstanding. It was frustrating to do, but there were no personal attacks, and I was very thorough in my explanation. (And I honestly wasn't sure if I was being trolled.) I happen to be going through a big Google Drive project in my company at the moment, so this is all very fresh in my mind. It's frustrating for anyone when someone insists that grass isn't green (or some other fact you know to be true), but my response wasn't heated (maybe it read that way, but it wasn't written that way).

You don't know what you're talking about and it's absolutely maddening 🤦‍♂️ If you're trolling me, then congrats, you win. Google Forms are used to collect data from users. They are, quite simply, a collection of fields. Eg. Enter your name, email address, how many Zak McKraken boxes you want, etc. Strangely you're arguing that bennywhitebread instead used a Google Doc (which is Google's equivalent to a Microsoft Word Document, but shared online) to collect information from potential buyers of his Zak recreation. That makes no sense to me, because it would mean everyone could see and edit everyone else's personal information. But I haven't bothered disputing that. With a Google Doc you can have three permission types: Viewer, Commenter or Editor. If you don't even have basic "Viewer" permissions then you see the screenshot that you shared if you try to view it (where you can request access from the document owner). With Google Forms there is no equivalent to this because Google Forms have two sides: The editor side (where you can change the form and see all the results/submitted data, including any email addresses if you require them) and the public-facing side (where the general public fill out the form). If you built your Google Form as built as part of an organisation then you have two options for the public-facing side: Limit to your organisation or make completely public. (If you're not part of an organisation then your form is just public by default.) In other words, there is never a state where someone who wants to fill out your form can request access to it. It is either public or closed only to members of an organisation. The only thing you can request is edit access, but even then that's only visible if you have access to the public-facing form(!). Edit access is how you view all the privately held data submitted by users, and how you change/delete the form itself. Why you think bennywhitebread would give edit access to strangers is another thing that makes no sense to me. There is no situation where a Google Form will ever present you with the screenshot you've shared (which was for a Google Doc). Nor does it make any sense that bennywhitebread would give access to a Google Doc for people to fill out (unless it was a temporary moment of madness on his part). If you still think I'm wrong, the solution is simple: Make your own Google Form that shows the screenshot you shared when you visit it. I will happily eat crow if you can do this! Again, if you're trolling me. Then congrats, you win.

Three facts: 1. The screenshot I posted is what I saw. 2. The screenshot you posted is to a Google Doc (not a Google Form). So presumably it was changed (possibly after I pointed out that it was broken.) 3. You cannot request access to a Google Form in the way you can with Google Docs, Google Sheets and Google Slides, despite what you think you've read online. Not really worth talking about any more 🤷‍♂️

Totally random luck. 👕 I beat #Mojole #338 and all I got was this stupid t-shirt. 6/6 💛🖤🖤💛🖤 🖤🖤💛🖤🖤 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 💚💚💛💚💚 💚💚💚💚💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

That's to request EDIT ACCESS to the form (ie. the ability to administer the form: the questions, the answers, see the results, etc.).

Except that is a random quote from a random website and you've completely misunderstood it 🤷‍♂️ Here's a Google Form that ends in /edit (straight from the URL bar): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/12nkOE0-xXeG1M-D_9pqTagbfgVPIPot5sDqMoNSPpIU/edit Tell me what happens when you click on it. You see this... Honestly, if you want to discuss this further, then perhaps we can spare everyone and continue in DMs.

There's no reason to believe it was "designed" for 4:3 just because the artwork extends higher than a 16:9 frame shows. (In those examples the widescreen version is clearly cropped better, IMO.)

That screenshot is what I saw 🤷‍♂️ Perhaps it was edited after I made my post. Either way, as I already said, you can't request access in the way you described. It's not how Google Forms work. (This is a fascinating conversation, btw.)

I gave up. Eep ook ack! I failed at #Mojole #335. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 🖤🖤💛🖤🖤 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 💛💛💛💚💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

Hmm, that's a risk, but it seems a shame to limit access to these files because of them, though. One thought: If the market was flooded with repros, the price would plummet, making them less exclusive and so less profitable for any unscrupulous people. Plus, with all due respect, I'm pretty sure there'll still be telltale differences that a collector could spot (although some would likely be duped). Of course, that doesn't prevent LS's work from being exploited (although that's already the case with his print work on poster websites, I guess?) That's not how Google Forms work. You can either limit it to people in your organisation or make the form public. (Unlike other Google Drive documents there's no way to request access through the click of a button.)

To be fair, he's setup his Google Form wrong so nobody can get access to it even if they wanted to 😅 I don't understand this bit of the blog... How is Ron Gilbert connected to Zak McKracken? It was a David Fox joint!

Nice! Now I have to find copies of the X-Wing games to try, too! (And I've never played Afterlife.) Was it easy to add support for those Star Wars titles because they used the same underlying technology, or are you just slowly expanding Dreamm to include every DOS game ever and are starting with LucasArts titles? Actually I've just read the documentation and noted that it says, "video updates are done without tearing" in the comparison to DOSBOX section, except I definitely see tearing on my MacBook Pro M1. At least in full screen mode. Here's a screenshot from a video I took with my phone.

Wow. I don't know how I got that. 👕 I beat #Mojole #327 and all I got was this stupid t-shirt. 6/6 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 🖤🖤🖤💛🖤 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 💚💚💚💚💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

Hmm. I'd never heard of DOSBox Staging, glad to have found it. I just ran it and can't see any shaders, though. (At least not by default, I guess they're in there somewhere.) Also the game I tried (Cruise for a Corpse) ran unbearable slow... weird. Edit: Spent a little more time with it. Quite nice playing with those shaders. They definitely improve dithered EGA artwork. I'd like for one to just be 100% accurate to say, an old Sony CRT, and leave it be. Sometimes I think they they look great, in other places I feel they're overdoing the scanlines. Hard to tell. (Sorry, this is getting OT.)

Appreciating the UI improvements! And I got Passport to Adventure going! A classic demo. Thanks.

I'm not a fan of things that attempt to "improve" older graphics*. I feel that SuperEagle, SAI, etc. do more to detract than add to the image. However when it comes to recreating accurately what we used to see on CRT monitors -- that's actually taking the experience closer to how the game looked... and it arguably looks better, too. Probably really complicated, though! * - With the exception of Laserschwert's AI upscales of Curse of Monkey Island, which need to find their way into a version of that game at some point!

Finally found some time to play around! Everything seems to work perfectly! So great! Lots of random notes below, sorry! MacBook Pro (M1 Pro) - Ventura 13.1 Dreamm 2.0b11 (Feb 3 2023) I installed SOMI EGA and then added the Disk09 upgrade to see if Roland MT-32 because available, and it did. Same for Loom EGA. I tried a ton of demos and they all seemed to work well, except for Sam & Max Demo [DOTT Engine] with Roland MT-32... a pretty obscure combination On two occasions Dreamm noted that it was a version that wasn't completely recognised, but they ran well (Sam & Max "(Talkie) - English [1D271606]" and Monkey 2 "English [CA97DF8C]" -- although I swear the fish outside the Bloody Lip window didn't appear -- or was that only in the SE??) When I added Full Throttle as an ISO it added two variants: "(Windows) - v1.0, English" and "English, LucasArts Classic" -- not sure what to make of that Same for The Dig: "(Windows) - v1.0, English, Dig95" and "v1.x, English Rerelease" from the same ISO It's a shame that the "Passport to Adventure" demo (which is kind of legendary in its own way) isn't supported, but it's not a necessity. One tiny thing: There's no ALT key on a Mac, only the "Option" key (or ⌥ as it appears on the keyboard), so some of the instructions might be a bit confusing for a non-techie. I jumped in and out of most of the LucasArts back catalogue and didn't encounter any issues at all. Fantastic job!
