Sauerbraten was really weird but I screwed around with it a lot as a kid.

I wish Nadeo was still independent. They finally got a popular Trackmania release but it's live service tied to UPlay ugh.
- Comment on Ninja Gaiden for DOS: rated M for "mistake" 5 days ago:
This is utterly awful.
The SNES version just the music is awful enough to avoid, but at least that trilogy port plays well.
- Comment on What would remain for a future species if humans were to vanish tomorrow? 1 week ago:
Lower end of Earth being in the habitatal zone being just 1 billion years left. Our consumption of the easy to reach resources before them arriving to the scene, I think you're likely right.
Upper estimates are ~3 billion for habital zone, and Red Giant phase being ~5 billion years from now for factoid funsies.
- Comment on Can you see magic eye pictures? 1 week ago:
I couldn't because really bad astigmatism, but after ICL surgery I could. Magic Eye is really cool, binged the greatest hits after I found out I could see them.
- Comment on came across some family heirlooms today, hahaha! 1 week ago:
Windows ME they decided to include the WinNT driver model (can't remember what it's called) alongside the legacy VXD drivers. It's actually quite similar to some of the complaints when Windows Vista did it again.
The problem was shit/rushed driver support. If you built a new PC with well supported hardware, or just got lucky, ME wasn't any less stable than 98SE in my opinion.
Of course the nuance is lost to time, all anyone remembers is "ME bad."
- Comment on What are the privacy risks of exposing IP adresses? 1 week ago:
Example: https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com/
Mine is blank, not even using VPN (don't need to where I live) just NextDNS and required encrypt/anon mode enabled for torrents.
- Comment on The universe has no concept of happiness or sadness. It is up to us to find things that make us happy (or sad if that's what we want). 1 week ago:
Yes and I'd live my life no other way. I'd rather go mad than to grow internally dishonest, and as a consequence externally as well.
Unfortunately they're right in some cases. I can't really handle it.
- Comment on How do you all keep the area around the toilet paper dust-free? 2 weeks ago:
They all shed at least a little but it's a brand thing. I buy whatever 2+ ply is on sale with no loyalty (I have bidets too) and some are definitely worse than others for debris when torn off the roll.
- Comment on Microsoft has never been good at running game studios, which is a problem when it owns them all 2 weeks ago:
Given how Microsoft handled the Conker's Bad Furday remake I think you're not far off accusing them like that here.
- Comment on What are the chances 2 weeks ago:
I work a flat 40 with paid breaks. Canada too, but it's a union plant.
- Comment on Microsoft has never been good at running game studios, which is a problem when it owns them all 2 weeks ago:
I'm not really all that bothered. Unlike movies, new start ups for making games happen a lot. When the greedy giants topple, like a forest something grows in the new patch of sunlight.
- Comment on How do you wash a weighted blanket, is it just the outside you wash after removing it? 2 weeks ago:
Maybe weird but since I worried about my old dryer I just partially filled a bathtub and added detergent. Agitated with a broom stick for awhile, then rinsed.
Air dried outside.

Same. I think the revolt is a second peaceful protest and then bending over for centuries.
- Comment on PNG has been updated for the first time in 22 years — new spec supports HDR and animation 2 weeks ago:
Oh good looks like you're on it already nice! The only other thing I noticed missing moving from Lemmy was sorting Top by "x" amount of time, but I see there's an open issue for that as well already. Nothing for me to do lol.
- Comment on PNG has been updated for the first time in 22 years — new spec supports HDR and animation 2 weeks ago:
Yeah in browser. I should probably open an issue ticket if nobody else noticed yet.
- Comment on PNG has been updated for the first time in 22 years — new spec supports HDR and animation 2 weeks ago:
One example is piefed unfortunately. Animated gifs as avatar or banner don't animate currently as far as I can tell.
- Comment on The UK Stop Killing Games petition has reached 100.000 signatures 2 weeks ago:
130k now with time left. I think we good.
- Comment on Yep, I actually own 7,255 games on Steam. I’ve played 23% of my library. I regret nothing. 2 weeks ago:
My completion rate is obviously much lower, but I've played at least two hours of 628/788 games in my 19 year old Steam account. I guess I'm a bit pickier with accepting freebies or buying on sales.
That is the result of a deliberate effort. Two year long project to play at least 2 hours of every game in my backlog minimum before I can uninstall it. Until there's nothing let but the dregs. A YouTuber inspired me, except he had a time limit deadline for the video.
Backlog was 258 games, now 160. Really there's about 30 left worth at least looking at. A lot of old crap from the very first Steam sale in there.
Most recent from the backlog was Alpha Protocol with some pcgamingwiki fixes. Yep that's been sitting in there a long long time. Loved it so much I finished it!
- Comment on Stop Killing Games consumer movement hits some major milestones 2 weeks ago:
98.8% now. This is happening.

Need more than 100k because some will be invalid rejects but this is good news! Keep signing.

- Comment on Zelda BotW vs TotK - which one should I buy? 2 weeks ago:
Breath of the Wild blew me away emotionally. It felt like Zelda 1 made in modern times to me.
TotK was like a remix with more stuff to do, but I'd already played BotW so a samey sequel didn't impact me as powerfully. I still played the entire thing and loved it, this may sound more negative than it really is.
I think if I could only play one and hadn't played either before, I'd go TotK.
