Replying to @jekagames
Pretty much. But I don't really recommend either of two new books. They explain a bunch, actually, but I feel that the Return on its own is absolutely good enough. I don't really need the explanations, and I'm absolutely fine with being forcefully confused by David Lynch.

Replying to @jekagames
Replying to @jekagames
Being familiar with Lynch's work I expected something like this, BUT the series actually was leading to a closure, and my interpretation of the ending was incredibly upsetting to me. Cooper didn't deserve any of this.
Replying to @jekagames and @jvdgoot
I don't subscribe to the abuse theme as a thing. For many reasons. But most importantly "is this a story of a little girl who lived down the lane?" And the answer is no. Things that are happening between worlds are bigger than Twin Peaks. Cooper was just a tiny spec caught in it
Replying to @jekagames and @jvdgoot
To me that's what the ending is about. Throughout the entire series we're led to hold Coop as a true ideal of everything pure. There's nothing he can't handle. And then in the end we find him in a world he doesn't belong, completely helpless. It's devastating.
Replying to @jekagames and @jvdgoot
Also The Return changes a lot about Laura Palmer. Now we find out that she was created as a reaction to Bob's creation. But we she created to fight him. Nope. Her fate was sealed from the get go. That's pretty fucking horrible.
Replying to @jekagames and @jvdgoot
Coop didn't prevent her murder in the end. In the Final Dossier it's revealed that Laura Palmer just ceased to exist. She was never born. The Evil inside both Sara (she was the bug girl) and Lealand therefore had no target. Sarah became an alcoholic, Lealand killed himself.
Replying to @jekagames and @jvdgoot
And then there's pretty much the entirety of Lynch's work, where the abuse or just even depiction of women is never a concern. The Return probably being the worst at it. Any positive female characters that weren't also depicted as some sort of freaks in the show?
Replying to @jekagames and @jvdgoot
So that's why I don't subscribe to "you can't change the past" as a theme. But obviously each person is going to have their own interpretations, which is what makes Lynch's work so cool. The Return is his masterpiece imo.
Replying to @TheSquink
I used to hate FWWM so much, but a lot of The Return was clearly set up in it (originally Lynch planned three Twin Peaks feature films, but then FWWM bombed,) and now I appreciate it as a bridge that leads to the new series.
Replying to @LucaGameDev, @jekagames and @jvdgoot
I haven't thought of that. But they connect very well. Something like "The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer" that doesn't match up, and thus is hard to connect to the show, I can understand not being cannon, but this...
Replying to @LucaGameDev, @jekagames and @jvdgoot
"Lynch vision" or not, I kind of find it a little reductive when some suggest that Frost's writing is merely a canvas on which Lynch paints. Clearly a lot of the actual world development belongs 2 him, and Lynch said both back in the day & now that Frost was doing most of writing
Replying to @Captain_Mohawk and @TheSquink
Another benefit of FWWM is The Missing Pieces. Some of that stuff is great, especially the Philip Jeffries hotel teleportation bit.
Been talking about Twin Peaks a lot tonight, and now I want to rewatch The Return again. Damn it.

Same can be easily said of any non-NT based Windows. Doesn't make it true.
Replying to @LouisGorenfeld, @_mikesand and @MadCanuk
More so. Consider that you can run multiple copies of the same real mode DOS programs at the same time, you can put them in all in windowed mode, and switch between them at will. How do you think it achieves that? So much more than just a GUI.
I feel like shit at work today, but I guess I can write it off as suffering for my art? 😕 https://x.com/dosnostalgic/status/1016548013878206465?s=19
I have recently discovered Parsec, and while it needs a little UI work, it basically works incredibly well as intended. I never thought I'd be able to play an action game that was running on someone else's computer via essentially just a really fast remote desktop.
Replying to @LouisGorenfeld, @_mikesand and @MadCanuk
I have to revisit Desqview, because I have never seriously used it, but in my memory it's pretty basic. In Win3.1+ you can, for example, put a high res EGA mode game in a Window (with Win itself running in VGA or SVGA mode), and move that window around.
Replying to @LouisGorenfeld, @_mikesand and @MadCanuk
It does freeze the apps, but it most certainly allows them to co-exist concurrently without crashing. Win95 unloads DOS at bootup, and replaces it with its own VM that's designed to capture direct DOS calls and route them to the kernel.

Largely its choice of humor.
Blood is on its own when it comes to Build engine games in terms of physics. Nothing feels like Duke Nukem 3D. Everything is super bouncy.

I wish I could enjoy Max Payne 3. To me the only thing that was enjoyable about it is the challenge. I was surprised by how hard it was. And it was satisfying to perfectly nail the slow-mo sequences. But I found the mechanics to be too repetitive, and didn't like the story.
Replying to @dosnostalgic
Not to mention it felt like a completely different style of the story, which wasn't a surprise. Different writers with different sensibilities.
Replying to @dosnostalgic
Max Payne 2 dramatically changed the shooting mechanics of the first game, but then it doubled down on the atmosphere and writing, and in the end, I feel, is a stronger game out of the two, despite being *much* easier and also about half the length of the original.
That's what REALLY killed me. Max Payne was always inspired by like a million things you could always recognize, but Max Payne 3 *REALLY* just wanted to be the Tony Scott's version of Man on Fire. It was weird. https://t.co/JavDOs3MmT
I know it's fucking cheesy, but this moment in Max Payne 2 almost makes me tear up every time I play
Replying to @antzpantz
