       | This one is my favorite so far:
       | https://64.media.tumblr.com/3117452ff1ccc9b9dd37f228300ea5f2...
       | 
       | It's a bit more subtle and not so in-your-face horror, which I
       | think works out in its favor.

       | Is this the same guy that makes song mashups and remixes? If so,
       | he is one hell of a creative and high energy person.

         | Yes. It's the same Neil Cicierga. The link at the top goes to
         | his personal website with mentions of his band, Lemon Demon

           | Note that his work under the pseudonym Lemon Demon (from
           | which you'd likely recognize the song _The Ultimate Showdown_
           | ) is almost entirely unrelated to his mashup albums (Mouth
           | Sounds, Mouth Silence, etc), which he released under his own
           | name. He's also the guy behind Potter Puppet Pals.

           | Oh, my daughter listens to Lemon Demon. She shared some of it
           | and I told her she has good taste.

           | This, um, artwork, seems very on-brand. I like it.

       | Oh neat! Hope this is okay to share here re: the context; but I
       | uploaded a cache of files to spin up a Windows 95 VM in
       | virtualbox to Archive a bit ago. Was messing around with it for a
       | few weeks to try and get an old game my boyfriend wanted to play
       | working that ultimately couldn't be achieved.
       | 
       | https://archive.org/details/win-95-vm
       | 
       | The .vhd is immediately bootable; just mess with the settings a
       | bit. The .vdi requires you to patch with the FIX95CPU.iso.
       | 
       | Either way, documentation from the sources I used are included in
       | the upload.

         | I've also had a great time installing Windows 95 into a DOSBox
         | instance. Might be even easier than a full fledged VM.

       | Now we just need a way of splicing these into the actual Windows
       | 95.
