Cuz like, GNU was the thing before Linux, so I'd say that's pretty important.

Thanks, and let me know what you think, as I wonder if people see what I see in it. Give the game a while to open up. It gets better with upgraded weapons and such.

I don't know if that's my kind of game, but I'll check it out, cuz robots. I'm messing with Transformers games at the moment so maybe I'll do another robots series of reviews.

good old America, and that's all that matters here

Americans are so adorable, I want to pet them 😅 Yes who's the bestest country in the world? Of course you are, yes, you, good boi

Looks like you won this round 🥳 Do you have a favorite picture you'd like others to caption?

I have, just recently. That's why I've finally been trying so many games - https://lemmy.world/post/3035900

IIRC the guy who was doing the official Linux builds of the old id games was also the one who was publishing the code, so that's probably why.

They could never publish everything they had internally, as they used proprietary or patented bits in places, so the code always needed cleaning up before GPLing it. That's why Doom engine source was released without the sound, the Doom 3 engine had the shadowing code replaced, Quake 3 code didn't have the single-player parts because people were still licencing it in the mid-00's, and other such stuff.

And yes, Doom was originally developed for *nix, I think they were using NeXT machines or something like that, for development.

Quake 2 has been GPL and had Linux versions since forever, even official ones from id.

I assume this remaster uses the same engine. Maybe they used stuff from contributors/forks, that's why they kept it open.

Fortunately IceRaven supports pretty much all extensions. Only few of them actually work however.

Well that's nice. But how many developers will care to make Android extensions at this point? Also will the current unsupported extensions in custom collections stop working?

Try to explain myself better? It's a me problem if I happen to know more of something and don't know how to explain it. If your can't ELI5, it means you don't understand it well.

It's worse dealing with people who don't want to understand, or everything just flies out of their other ear... Those kinds of people you just need to minimise contact with, nothing else helps.

It is an oddly accurate term tho, only except that everyone with 50 followers calls themselves that.

I guess it is rather a mirror to society than anything else, that influencing opinions is a job - also think politics, marketing, lawyers, religions... Pretty weird society we have, if you think about it.

Also I can't remember the right term, someone help me out - but isn't the proper term for most news something like "opinion making"?

Found the consumer

Oh and a big one I rather spun into another comment.

This one makes me cringe so hard - when YouTubers ask to "leave a comment down below", or even "in a comment section down below" or refer to "description down below".

Good grief, does this "Down Below" fellow pay everyone for advertising? Can you just fucking stop? I know there's a comment section, I know where it is, down and below is redundant, and in fact, don't tell me what to do, I'll comment if I feel like it, thank you very much. Also how about some originality? At least some keep trying to come up with new synonyms to tell me to "smash" the like button, but the comments, same shit everyone.

Gawd I hope YT starts penalising this at some point.

Hate 'consumer' too. I know it is an accurate term per economics, but I remember when people still referred to themselves as customers. And like all shitty things, we just switched to the new standard without much noticing.

Btw not a word per se, but in a similar vein I hate how, when people talk about price, they slowly say e.g. 499.99. Just call it 500. That's what it is. By starting with a lower number, you give the listener's brain a second or two to start processing the information incorrectly.

Anyway I also hate words like "misinformation", "whataboutism" and other similar terms, as they are so often used to accuse people of wrongdoing even if there was no such intent, or quite the opposite. It's like a one-step way to try to win the argument.

Thx

Do people still play it? Where do you gather?

Not yet, it's on my list.

COD4 surprised me a lot. I'm still pretty new to the whole DS/3DS thing, a bunch of games haven't really impressed me, I've never played a DS shooter before Moon, which let me down...

So I expected COD to be trash, especially due to the reputation of tie-in games, and that nobody ever talks about it. Only Scott the Woz has made a video about COD on DS, basically saying "it's fine but why bother?". Now I'm curious about more tie-in games.

Metroid Prime Hunters and Bionicle Heroes are probably the next games I'm gonna check out. There's a surprising amount of shooters on the DS, and since they seem to all be pretty short, it's easy to go through them quickly.

No. You send me a message, your businesses is done, whether I read it or not is my business. Especially on WhatsApp where there are spammers and debt collectors.

I don't mind keeping it on on private messengers with no connection to my identity, like Session or Matrix. But if you can find me via my phone number, nope.

It's bizarre how features like these are enabled by default. Same shit with embedding GPS in photos... On by default. Shows what kind of people design these things.
