I think upscaling is a good idea. Most of the time I'm running around while dodging bullets, arrows or fireballs, so I don't really have time to examine the details of the foliage around me at the pixel level. I also will not buy an overpowered space heater so that the grass in my game looks more realistic. I don't want a triple fan monster sounding like a turbojet near me.

I'm old enough to have clustered some 16 desktop PCs using openMOSIX a long time ago, before the era of multiple cores and threads.

The whole cluster would function like a single Linux system, automatically spreading the work between nodes.

I used it to run SETI@Home for a bit of fun.

It was a neat idea, but never went mainstream. Soon single PCs were powerful enough to run virtual machines and be partitioned instead of clustered.

I don't hate it, I know that it adds a lot of security to a system, it's just that it's not user friendly and it can sometimes leave you scratching your head wondering what the hell happened.

Thanks, that's nice to know in case I decide to get a VR headset in the future.

It's both financial (huge investment for a single game) and not. Playing with a thing strapped to your face does not sound fun. Especially with glasses. Or in the summertime. Plus I'm a Linux gamer, so I'd probably run into a lot of issues before I could run it.

Fistbump

That's pretty much it.

So you're implying we can expect Half-Life 3 for Christmas?

I've used Gimp for as long as I can remember, it's one of those tools I always have installed in my workstation. It's quirky, but I love it anyway.

Glad to see 3.0 released. Valve, are you paying attention? Those is how it's done.

TIL Airplane! is a parody.

Bravo!

Nah, I live in a country with mandatory vaccination for kids, so you're on your own on this one.

Finally!

Good luck guys, do let us know how it turned out.

Looking at the dumpster fire that are social networks, I rather like this anti-social network.

Carcinogenic plastic micro particles? Just don't.

Looks like nobody can or is willing to do decent printers anymore. I'll run my Laserjet 1100 till it dies, then I'm done with printing.

That's one tattoo I can respect.

Everything you do or don't do is a political statement. Do you think you can somehow exist in a bubble where politics is something that happens to someone else? How naive.

I discovered Brutal Wolfenstein (a Doom II mod that replicates and enhances Wolfenstein 3D) so I've been slaughtering nazi scum for a while.
