- Comment on Darkenstein 3D free on Steam 2 days ago:
The video looked very like Serious Engine, so I downloaded it to see. Nope. Its Unity.
Comically long intro of a narrator and text. Ok, I’m a homeless traitor in Nazi Germany, trying to get my dog back.
Got out of the truck. Oh good. A box jumping obstacle. Hit the space bar. No jump. So I keep trying. And it knocks this box back into the corner, where I can see a mug of something floating there. Health or powerup or some shit. But I can’t get to it because I just kicked this box in the way.
I finally checked the controls. There’s no jump, just kick. You don’t jump in this game. Like old DOOM.
I gave up. I’m in this far. I’ll try it again later.

Boom.
- Comment on Serious Sam 2 was just updated after 20 years in celebration of its anniversary 1 week ago:
I still play this game.
The only one you need installed now is Classics: Revolution. That’s all of 1 and 2 wrapped up. But … there’s no update pending. Last one was 2020.
I guess I’ll download the monolithic SS2 and see what’s new. - Comment on Tabletop convection oven 1 week ago:
Ok. My brother didn’t cook tofu. It was always crap. And obviously I didn’t use the device.
- Comment on Tabletop convection oven 1 week ago:
Mostly my oven gets used for baking biscuits. Sometimes I’ll make a lasagna or very rarely a casserole. The only actual dietary sin that takes place there is the occasional pizza. I’m not perfect, I do eat pizza.
There are no taquitos or chicken tenders or wtf-ever frozen garbage in my home or my oven. - Comment on Tabletop convection oven 1 week ago:
They smell like fryers. And they are for making fried food. Not allowed in my house. Nasty.
- Comment on New release of Plan9 successor 9FRONT now available 1 week ago:
The devs are some really strange folks. They would enjoy your discomfiture.
But as the other poster said, they are really emphatically, antifa-level before antifa was cool, no-nazi.
- Comment on New release of Plan9 successor 9FRONT now available 1 week ago:
I recommend reading their “Frequently Questioned Answers” document, aka Dash1.
fqa.9front.org/dash1.release.pdfI’ve read a lot of tech docs through the years. Hands down, this is my favorite.
I do not recommend installing their OS, unless you have time to kill and curiosity.
9front is completely useless. It’s a programmer’s toy; a sandbox to develop some OS build ideas. - Comment on New release of Plan9 successor 9FRONT now available 1 week ago:
I install 9front releases, screw with a couple windows, and give up again. It’s a cycle.

So many of the things that people cook in these nasty little grease machines are processed garbage.

There’s like 700 Cyberpunk mods. I looked through some last night. Surely there must be one that jailbreaks me past that. I haven’t found it tho.

Hehe. Friend, you seem to know a lot about this imaginary tech. But you don’t. My rules are just as good as yours. If I say it Johnny can run on a trashcan, its just as true as your theory. And more fun.
- Comment on Tabletop convection oven 1 week ago:
Way to be. Fuk these machines.

This is hell and sin management stance is a solid policy.
But I’m never eating your chicken. - Comment on Tabletop convection oven 1 week ago:
I made my brother take his air frier with him when he moved. I think it made it as far as the dumpster.
Stinky fukin thing. - Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 1 week ago:
There is literally an AI vending machine. How is that different from a fridge? And that being the case, how can you say it can’t run this chip? Ya just can’t. Because there’s a huge plot hole there … Think of the fun if we installed Johnny in that stupid talking gun.

That’s what they want you to think …
- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 1 week ago:
Well, no. But everything in the game is running a quantum processor. The taxis are some rogue AI … that owes you favors? Weird. But any random trashcan has enough juice to run this stupid chip instead of sticking it in your head. What a terrible idea.

I like car surfing, for the scenery.
I also enjoy firing tethers to wreck other cars as we go along, for the entertainment.
Or tow a few, that’s fun too. - Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 1 week ago:
He’s cool. I’d rather install him in a refrigerator or some shit. He can follow me around and serve me beer.

I won’t do the main quest in Starfield. I don’t want any special powers, and those Foundation guys are lame. I’m like level 58 and I’ve never found an artifact. I do enjoy killing people and stealing ships tho.
I won’t stick the chip in my head in Cyberpunk. Nope. I know its got a virus on it. Just seems like a really really bad idea. That leaves me stuck in the first part of the game, because you can’t break out of it anymore since the patches. I might mod it someday.

Finishing Portal was really satisfying. Also, I wanted to be done with puzzles. Yay!

Far Cry 2 was the last good thing Ubisoft produced. And it was very good.
Fuk Ubi. Forever. Never spending another cent on them. - Comment on What's your greatest "gaming high" you've been chasing ever since? Please take care not to spoil anything, if you are going to be story-specific. 1 week ago:
Um … I definitely saw that coming. Gorgeous game tho. The sequels … meh.

Once you get past the tower where you have to run around while you wait for the elevator, things ease up. Still lots of chances to die, but that’s the only spot in the game where you are that hard pressed. Although the sewer run is pretty stressful too …

That’s a hell of a game ending, is it not? It fukin screams for a sequel.
B12 is alive! That flicker. He’s there. And we just freed the zurks …

Heh. I do shit like that. Before i quit/finished Fall Out 4, I killed all the Brotherhood, stole their power armor, and put it on the roof of the Atomic greaser’s gas station. Didn’t stop till I had it covered. It was a fukin monument. Looked cool as hell.

Ya, Brutal Doom is the fukin shit. Killer. Really. With lots of blood.
I have Selaco on my Steam wishlist. I’ll get it someday. - Comment on Microsoft just changed where your Word documents live — here’s why it matters 1 week ago:
I’ve been watching this thread, expected to hear this, but not yet …
I know Google’s office products are essentially the same problem, but they are at very least free (in dollars).
I haven’t used MS Office in years. We use Google at work. I use my NextCloud at home.
