FPS: the documentary. It's okay. It's not so much a documentary as it is a list. You get a list of games in semi-release order, and for each you either get a dev story if devs were interviewed or random people saying how great the game is when no one involved was interviewed.
Sometimes you get a long story, sometimes a very short one. Of course the "definitive" in the tagline of means absolutely nothing, as it is not definitive in any sense. In fact half-way through it becomes quite unfocused.

oscillik,

@dosnostalgic Yep, I immediately noticed this during the opening credits — Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM footage stood out in particular. I'm guessing this has been done to fit the 16:9 aspect ratio a bit more cleanly or something?

oscillik,

@dosnostalgic yeah I agree! Even just seeing OpenGL smooth sprites in DOOM during the opening credits got a sigh from me. Give me chunky pixels pls.

Do you have a chill DOS game that you revisit when you want to relax?

oscillik,

@dosnostalgic Quarantine, on a modern PC so the clock speed is super fast

google search is broken as it can't give me an answer about the making of the dolphin in "johnny mnemonic" (1995). a friend asked the paid chatgpt about this for me and it also cannot give a reliable answer and tries to derail to "jurassic park", that CGI may or may not have been used and that it doesn't actually have any sources about how the dolphin was done. this is the state of information technology in 2023

oscillik,

@mntmn makes me wonder if it's part of the plan; to keep people on the site, seeking increasingly worse answers

MNT Rack Reform back side port farm (under construction):
—1x additional USB-C (from internal USB2.0)
—1x DisplayPort (made from eDP that is normally used for the laptop display)
—1x USB-C that interfaces dual UARTs via CP2105: UART console and system control
—2x RCA for stereo audio
—1x RJ45 for 1GbE

oscillik,

@mntmn I'm extremely confident you could mock up an awesome looking logo for this, with those MNT zig-zags in all the right places

@ivory can you help me understand what this symbol means? I keep seeing this next to posts, and I have no idea what it means — I've tried clicking, right-clicking, hovering over it…

oscillik,

@ivory thank you for the clarification and the mad-fast response!

Ivory for Mac will be released tomorrow!

We’ve decided to keep things simple as far as subscriptions go. If you paid for “Premier”, you’ll automatically get access to the Mac app as we have changed “Premier” to “Universal”.

If you paid for “Pro”, you’ll get the same access to “iOS + iPadOS”.

If you upgrade to “Universal”, your sub date will reset and you’ll be refunded the remainder of your Pro subscription.

oscillik,

@ivory This is a very welcome surprise!

Long shot: Does anyone have a Sony HI-MD Minidisc recorder they no longer want?

oscillik,

@jonty I actually have an MZ-RH1 that I no longer want, North-West England

oscillik,

@jonty emailed just now, with pics

oscillik,

@jonty I've emailed you a few times about this, please could you respond as I'm beginning to get concerned.
