E1M1 but rendered on a SoundBlaster AWE32 in full MIDI glory.

So… did they find any new interesting digits there or just the usual 0 to 9?

One more vote for the original Doom, running in a modern engine with some of the colossal WADs released over the years.

It loads instantly, gets you fighting in no time. You know the rules, yet you still get surprised by one of these guys with a machine gun.

Compare that to a modern game, where you have to wait for it to update, compile shaders, the studio logo video, the proprietary launcher and the main menu before you are allowed to do anything.

The amounts of copium that Windows users are willing to swallow to avoid changing are reaching stratospheric levels. Inertia is one hell of a drug.

First time using Microsoft products, is it?

Here are the ones that don’t get uninstalled from my potato box:

• Sable

• Ion Fury

• Torchlight

• Ziggurat

• Baba Is You

• Edritch

• Fez

• Plunge

• Valley

• Into The Breach

• Journey

(Disclaimer: some are very old, some may not be indie, eh, I did my best.)

Mr. T.

Save Ferris’ cover of Come On Eileen, by Dexy’s Midnight Runners.

It’s fun to discover new distros, but in the long run it is more important to keep my workstation working.

I keep an old laptop around for trying other distros.

Bye then. Best of luck out there, friend.

I played this two weeks ago and it still rocks.

That’s how it was done in the old days to save a few cycles in Z80 assembly. XOR A instead of LD A, 0.

Patient gamers unite!

Also, who has time to waste waiting for a 90GB game to load and compile it’s shaders or whatever so you can enjoy the main character’s pimples in full anti aliased resolution when you can just double click some 20 year old game and be right in the thick of it in zero time? I play to have fun, I don’t need all this ultra realistic crap. Give me 5 minutes with some obscure indie game and I’m happy.

I find Half-Life and Portal are some of the best games ever made regarding world building, story telling and general addictiveness.

I keep coming back because I’ve never found any other game like those.

Constantine - 46%

Predator - 34%

Ghost in the Shell - 43%

Hellboy - 17%

Robocop (2016) - 49%

Well, it seems like I have poor taste in movies after all.
