Platform(s): Windows PC, either 95 or XP, though more likely 95?

Genre: Educational/Minigames

Estimated year of release: I played it in late 90s/early 00s?

Graphics/art style: Very fuzzy in my brain but mostly 2d menus + maps of the world. The grandma character (and others?) were "3d" but seemed pixelly so I imagine they were prerendered 3d models.

Notable characters: there weren't many characters that I can remember as this was a educational game, but I feel like the "story" was that you were searching the globe for your globetrotting grandma/aunt? I think she used to roller skate onto the screen to explain the "mini games"/context and then would skate away. Its very fuzzy what she look

To give a specific example, I was watching a video of an animation of DNA replication (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Hk9jct2ozY&list=PLD0444BD542B4D7D9&ab_channel=WEHImovies). How are the free nucleic acids necessary to build the DNA strands localised to the replication site?

In general, this is something that has always confused me about biology - it seems unfathomable that the "ingredients" necessary for these complex cellular processes are so readily available in such a huge and "dumb" cell - another example being tRNA for protein synthesis.

Hi!

I'm in the process of following a guide to make a "Gameboy Zero" - a modified Gameboy that replaces the internals to make it a retro games console - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMhTMgDHGaM&ab_channel=wermy

There are two parts that are tricky to make that can be 3D printed instead. They are:

A bit of a stab in the dark. I'm moving out of a flat in Battersea, and I've accumulated a fair amount of Lego sets. I'm moving to Canada, so don't want to take them with me.

I was wondering if anyone knew any deserving charities/hospitals/schools etc. that can take "used" Lego? Obviously I could just take it to a charity shop but I'd be quite keen for it to go somewhere where I know it will be well used! I've checked the more well known places like GOSH but they can't take "used" toys.

The Lego itself is in really great condition - assembled once, still has boxes and instruction manuals, etc. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

###Build Ready:

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

Mainly gaming, also hobby 3D game development. General home use too.

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings)

F1 2019, Witcher 3, 1080p 60fps on high settings would be fine. I'd be happy if I can still get that on a modern game in 3-5 years or so (with lower settings) but I'm not really sure how likely that is.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

£1000

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

UK
