  WASD + mouse aim in FPS. Wolf3d, Doom1 and Blakestone used the arrow keys, spacebar and Ctrl back in the day. The arrows were turn, not strafe too.

  I reckon it was some friends of mine in the 90s in Box Hill, Melbourne, Victoria who were the first to use WASD/mouse aim. Share house above a shop at the end of a tram line.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think votes should be displayed publicly at the bottom of the comments section for each post. Make people stand by their convictions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Low Levels of Aussie Zone association with Lemmy in Search.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, the more popular a place becomes the faster it turns to shit. Putting more effort in uhh federation? processes will draw more attention of people looking for a platform for their bullshit.

  This has all been taken far too seriously.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MediSecure reveals 12.9m Australians had personal data stolen in cyber attack⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m surprised they had data on that many people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Telecommunications ombudsman calls for change to make mobile phones an essential service - ABC News⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Minimum levels of service in Australia can be difficult. We’re a large sparse country with many mobile black spots. People should rent a satellite phone or epirb if traveling the outback, it’s a dangerous place to have an emergency.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is everyone so depressed now partially because modern science has probably proven there is no god / afterlife?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m depressed at the wealthy marching the planet off a cliff for profit at the cost of everyone else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sources of specialist physician fee variation: Evidence from Australian health insurance claims data⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My recent experience is that it costs $250-$300 an initial appointment and around half that for follow up appointments with Medicare (aus public medicine) rebating about $50 per visit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Considering the Heavy involvement of CGI in today's action films, shouldn't we consider them to be just hyper realistic cartoon films ?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s why I gave up on marvel. I think superhero content is better suited to cartoon format. DC Animation has the best hero content imo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If the issue is still in the courts it might get reversed and the devs’ll see some money from the outcome.

  I’m not a fan of pirated games, maybe I’m an internet pussy, but I trust steam.

  The game has probably made 90% of the money it’ll ever make. I paid $5 bucks on sale, $3.50 is headed to the shitbag company who pulled this nonsense, I feel bad for the devs, but I’ve sent more money to worse people while trying to make it through this bullshit society we live in.

  I hope the devs win their case, my heart is with them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you cite a source for the devs requesting it be pirated? I can’t find one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Disco elysium and hades.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, Australia’s big supermarkets have been price gouging. But fixing the problem won’t be easy⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Double coles at northcote plaza for example.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨15 Reasons I may not be riding in the bike lane⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  15 reasons, 3-6 seconds per reason, 45-90 seconds. = x10000 views.
