Dereferencing a pointer means getting the value that is stored in the memory location pointed by the pointer. The operator * is used to do this, and is called the dereferencing operator.

>>52662714
Gayms were tied to CPU clockspeed. When computers got faster, those games were made unplayable. Therefore they included a turbo button to slow it down to play games properly. Called it turbo so normies understood (or thought they did).

>>52664815
>I'm only 23

How the fuck is 23 "only 23"? You're a full blown adult already, you fag.

>>52664851
Because I don't have a job and I still live with my parents.
My gf is 25 and in med school.

>>52664851
Age is relative. 23 is young. I'm almost 30 and to someone 20 years older than me 30 is still young.

>>52664873
Holy shit dude you realize you've already lost her right? She's surrounded by men studying to make a very lot of money who are also her intellectual equals and you her boyfriend is a neet. Good going faggot

>>52664928
It's not

>>52662714
Because if your game looks like it's being played on turbo, you push the turbo button to make it slow down and be playable.

Think of it like pulling a fire alarm. You pull it when there IS a fire, not when you want a fire.

I am. I use to be really fit and then I got injured and gained weight/lost muscle. It's been terrible for my self confidence.

Here it is again! dumb fucking age meme.

Anyway, you're the new typewriter faggots! Let me paint the picture for you:

>hahaha remember typewriters, back in the day... you kid, over there, you wouldn't get it! *looks at other old fuck*
>yup you wouldn't... back in the day... we had this thing called the typewriter, it was soooo much better, you wouldn't get it!
>"kid" leaves room
>OH GOD REMEMBER HOW MUCH IT FUCKING SUCKED TO REPLACE THE FONT HEADS EVERY 2 MONTHS AND MANUALLY RETURNING AND FUUUUCK THAT SHIT AND oh shi-
>"kid" comes back in the room
>yup they were so badass, back in the day, etc etc.

Now replace "typewriter" with "floppy", "back in the day" with 90s/80s, and "replace the font heads" with "having the most unreliable storage medium in the history of time". Nostalgia is cancer because it tricks you into thinking bad memories are good even though in the same breath you are saying how shit they were, but you are throwing this into someone else's lap negatively as if they aren't knowledgeable... not knowledgeable about shitty garbage nobody cares about anymore?

I'm glad I don't know how to use a typewriter because they're fucking obsolete, you don't need to waste time thinking about manually returning because the word processor from the 80s does it automatically and the habit is just going to get in the way. I'm glad all the young people I meet don't know what a floppy disk is and their fucking 4 year shelf life and being the most brittle pieces of shit to ever exist. Don't pretend that your nostalgic garbage is good just to "shit" on people because you're trying too hard to fit in.

But just like botnet and cuckold, I don't expect /g/ to get shit right.

>>52665411
Enroll is the "North American" spelling, not just the US, and that's a Toronto college.

If it were outside of North America, then enrol would be the preferred spelling

>>52665171
There is no such thing as "adults". Its just shit people tell you when your little to get you to listen and behave. One day you'll all learn.

>>52665317
>>52665689
>Millennial is actually marketing code word for anyone under 30. Which is why the definition keeps being pushed forward. The original definitions started with mid 70s born people. Then they turned 30. Now mid 80s born people are turning 30 and the definition is being pushed forward again, because time passes and people age out of the 20-29 demographic.

Anyway the the definition used by most business's IIRC is still actually 78-94 or so. So they're older than what most people assume by reading click bait articles.

TFW shit talking click bait articles you agree with are actually talking about you.

No they dont, i saw a short video by a journalist, he asked random kids passing by and none of them knew what a floppy disk was. Majority of them did not know what the VHS tape was. A lot of them did not know what the cassette player was

Bet you old fags can't even get your dick up

So does this game require XMS or EMS configured?

The 90s didn't really end till 2002 so idk wtf you're talking about, early 90s was the ending of the 80s phase.

You need to configure your CD-ROM drive and SoundBlaster in the autoexec.bat file.
