Minecraft is still the hardest thing to host lol
I’m actually considering hosting a Luanti / “MineTest” server for this experience, since my wife lost her Minecraft account / key thingy since the time we played in beta ages ago haha.
I wonder if it’s any easier to host or not. 🤔
they gobble up insane amounts of RAM to provide almost the same functionality as in 2010.
Critical to using our service? Maybe even an operating system?
ELECTRON APP!
Not 100% relevant but it was in my collection and I thought it was close enough to be funny. :D
Me too! Haven’t had my coffee yet. I was like
“… character…? Charisma…? (blink blink)”
I want to see open source printer devices doing this.
I couldn’t care less about Bambu Lab, if anything they irk me because they’re driving 3D printing towards a “the magic black box just works until it doesn’t and then we throw it in a landfill and buy a brand new one.” model.
The huge gap between “obsolete” versus “legacy”
Hahaha gottem XD
…and then add a sticky note below it:
“And then Einstein and Obama and Jobs were there and everybody clapped they were so shocked!”
“Everybody knows you can have it done well, fast, or cheap. Pick two.”
“No! All three! All the time! Zero drawbacks! All profits and benefits! I am a very good and visionary boss. Have some room temperature Little Caesar’s on the house and make me rich.”
Ah yes, the upcoming McAndroid Sundae is gonna be using this language, actually!
Every time this franchise comes up I just find myself remembering all the fun I had with BF2 and 2142. I wanna play those again…
BF4 was actually pretty great fun too.
Now I’m just so over it.
Secure boot is a good feature to protect against certain kinds of threats, but “you can’t run this entertainment software because you aren’t running a completely Microsoft-prescribed system” is a super lame use of it.
Right on. This fellow libraries. :D
Yes! Very important!
I remember it being a bit trendy to turn old laptops into desktops by just unplugging the display and plugging peripherals into them, but people were finding that the keyboard actually was designed as another heat escape, so running them with the lids closed wasn’t so great!
I got one I’m betting we won’t find on here yet…
Alone in the Dark 5, an incredibly ambitious game that fell short, but had some great ideas.
One of which was how that incredible soundtrack by Oliver Deriviere drove this particular playable sequence, 59th Street .
The whole soundtrack done in conjunction with “The Mystery of Bulgarian Voices” is absolutely stunning for an action-horror title.
It was the best part of the game and an incredible example of meshing soundtrack with cinematic gameplay.
. . . actually? All the stuff he does is freaking awesome, so see/listen to his other titles like:
Other (lesser known / thought of?) good soundtracks off the top of my head:
I’ll probably add to this if I think of any more. :)
Holy coconuts it REALLY DOES! That’s some weapons grade level snark right here LOL. Wow that “controversies” section…
Honestly great move to immortalize when fascist strongmen act “weird” and embarass themselves to the world by sharing their true thoughts.
I thought Link Time Optimization usually involved at least an ocarina…
From the genius and his whipped minions that brought you MechaHitler after some “fixes and improvements”…
…Comes the same AI that offers to “fix your code.”
Wow. Simply astounding. A magnificent feat indeed, to waste so many finite precious resources over such garbage.
Kindly Ctrl+A and shift-delete “All your code files”, sir.
I actually felt like the Elder Scrolls games handled this elegantly. The interactable doors could be wonky but also strategic, but for cell changing doors, on today’s hardware you barely even notice the loading screen.
It felt like it kept each area of the game nice and concise, but also it still felt so connected! Especially with how characters could follow you between cell changes after Morrowind. (SURPRISE, pants-ruining Oblivion guard jumpscare!)
Hey that’s super helpful, I really appreciate it! Thank you! I haven’t checked in on the project(s) in quite a while. :)
