Format the following passage properly, for storytelling purposes. Keep it as written, don't change a single word, but improve grammar where necessary.

The dawn has come again. A faint blue is beginning to fill up the skies, as the darkness of night has given way to the brightness of another day. An "I [heart symbol] JARC" T-shirt with the words "Client Appreciation Day" written inside the heart and a "6.28.24" date marked inside the "R" adorns my body. It is of a sufficient size, and I cannot help but be thankful that those responsible for making sure we had our shirts took care in making sure they fit properly. When I first got it, it had a sticker just below the word "JARC," an identifier indicating the name, shirt size, and group home (when and where applicable) of the intended recipient. Of course, that came off almost as quickly as I got it, but was not condemned to a final destiny of being crumpled up and tossed into a trash receptacle. Instead, it has been placed on the outer border of the same old portrait that continues to hang on my wall. That photograph has become not only a time capsule of what life once was for her, but a way for me to preserve what is going on in my life right now. Two messages written in permanent black Sharpie marker ("LAUNDRY? LET THEM KNOW!" and "WALK, DON'T RUN!") adorn the top and right-middle portions of that photo. Her arm is now covered in stickers, each representing a moment in time from one among my many past experiences, be it an adventure I experienced firsthand or a discovery pertaining to what another had been through. The American flag I had been given upon first arriving at the home back in April is still being held up by tape and pushpins, but is now accompanied by a vertical shirt sticker with the phrase "3 XL" repeated seven times in some variety of bizarre Beetlejuice-esque incantation, and below it the old water-damaged photo of me standing next to my mother after getting a certificate for outstanding achievement in Mathematics back in 2009, which itself is being held up with tape that was liberated from empty spots on the dining room walls after going for an extended period of time without being used. Fortunately, the tape was still sufficiently adhesive to secure the photograph. Having downgraded my Mypal from a recent version (68.14.1) to an older one (68.13.7)--to put it in terms the layman will understand, I went from having web capabilities roughly equivalent to Firefox 83, to something closer to 78 ESR--I am noticing a slight improvement in speed, though both are very fast in normal operation. One of the reasons for making the switch was noticing that Ramsey did not opt to include the latest Mypal build with his newest Windows XP Integral Edition build (dated June 6, 2024). Visiting developer Feodor2's Github repository for Mypal, I have seen cases of more than one user declaring intentions of keeping an older version for the meantime, rather than using the latest one. I myself noted that I was still using 68.14.1, but expressed an interest in trying out future versions once more development is completed. There are more options these days for XP users, and this has bought us some more time before we have to inevitably upgrade to a newer version of Windows. Part of me is contemplating an upgrade to 10 LTSB/LTSC, but 7 seems to make more sense as it's closer to what I am used to with XP. A bird chirps, its song nostalgic, wistful, yet optimistic. I have settled my emulator situation: while I'm continuing to stick with Nestopia 1.40 for NES games and Fusion 3.64 for pre-Saturn Sega emulation, I opted to use ZSNES 1.51 in lieu of SNESGT 0.218. While there is no denying that SNESGT beats its by a mile with regards to the accuracy of emulation, ZSNES is more compatible. It's the most accurate SNES emulator to support MS-DOS, for those out there who still dabble in DOS gaming, and each version of ZSNES has a Windows-compatible binary with proper 9x (95/98/98SE/ME) support and a DOS-compatible binary. Even 1.51 supports DOS with no issues at all. The main thing these emulators have in common is that they are all fast. Blazing fast. Even on older hardware, they all do a good job of balancing compatibility and performance. MAME 0.72 remains my go-to arcade emulator, as it is the last version with the DCS Sound System hacks (meaning 1990s Midway games will run at full speed even on ancient Pentium 4-era machines with integrated graphics/sound). Having tested newer versions of MAME, I was pleasantly surprised to find out XP-compatible builds are still being unofficially created at least for the moment; the last version to officially support both 32 and 64-bit XP is 0.204, while 0.207 is the last to support XP overall (but only supported 32-bit). These versions are both excellent, and provided your machine is sufficiently powerful, are more than enough to give you an immersive experience with many classic arcade games. I tried 0.266, a bleeding-edge version that had been backported to XP by the talented "Retro Danuart." Amazingly, this modern version could still run 8/16/32-bit games at full speed, with no frame drops, on my 13-year-old PC. But I do not really need to keep a version that powerful, and yet it is helpful to keep a somewhat newer release around, in case the urge comes to want to play a game that was not supported in 0.72. While that version supports 98% of the games that most people still care and talk about, there are some gems among the remaining 2%, and among them are the old Midway Touchmaster and Merit Megatouch titles. I opted for MAME 0.160, which was originally released in March 2015. It seems to be the best compromise. MAME itself still supported Windows 2000, and 0.160 still has the old code for Direct3D and DirectDraw compatibility; both video options work absolutely fine with the integrated Intel chip in my PC. DirectDraw was eventually deprecated and removed from mainline MAME (though some unofficial builds do restore support), and Direct3D does not work properly in newer versions, at least not with the old Intel graphics (it should work fine with a good NVidia or AMD/ATI Radeon card). 0.160 strikes a good balance: by that point, emulation of most of the games supported in 0.72 had improved by leaps and bounds, and not only were the Touchmaster/Megatouch games supported but the emulation was by then impressively accurate. It is good to keep these emulators on hand, not only for when the urge to play a good game comes but especially if the Internet should go down again as it did last week; a sort of 'emergency package,' if you will. I look again to the portrait and am reminded of another bit of old arcade ephemera: the "RECYCLE IT, DON'T TRASH IT!" message that was found on various games imported to the United States for a few years. Apparently, this and the old "WINNERS DON'T DO DRUGS" messages were mandatory to be included on imports, but the rule did not apply to games made in America, which is why anything made by U.S.-based Midway or Atari (for example) did not have them. I am reminded of the two-leaved flower, with stem, encircled by the title "UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY," and the acknowledgment of William K. Reilly, who was administrator of the EPA from 1989-93. His name continued to appear on the "RECYCLE IT" screen long after his administrative stint had ended and even though it has been more than twenty years since the last games to bear this and the "WINNERS DON'T DO DRUGS" screens were released to arcades, I still think of such messages at least once a day.
