What did you learn from this?

Welcome to the wonderful world of reverse proxies!

You are not watching the right kind of propaganda from Japan, my young friend.

If she has had one, it’s a great indicator of fertility and being interested in having kids. Just gotta hope she wasn’t traumatised by the experience and you’ve got a good chance of more babies for Japan!

I wish I had some hippocratic style oath I could lean on to not release unsafe, unoptimised, barely tested, possibly maintainable code.
Alas all I have is good, verbose comments and an email here or there expressing my concerns.

Do we still need to click to pick shit up on the ground? Because that drove me insane to the point I didn’t play BL3, pretty much.

Oh dear, yes, SVGA! I had forgotten about that one, hahaha!

+1 for Atuin. I constantly use it on my machine and SSH-ing on remote machines who don’t have it is an absolute pain.

I’m gonna have to save this thread and check some of those!

Maybe you need to have some sort of objective before you get started, otherwise yeah, you don’t have much to do in the console :) In my case I only use linux for work, so I’m ssh-ing away and running commands to compile this, apply that, show me the logs for this, grep that, etc.

Oh man! This is some brilliant trickery, haha! I love those. Back in the day, though, there was scant few sources of info so most people would rediscover this sort of stuff on their own, unless part of some group like the demo scene. Wish I could have read this sort of article back then…

VGA let’s you pick a palette of 256 colours out of 262144, which is because the RGB components were actually on 6bit, not the full 8bit we would come to expect later. The 320x200 resolution would also be a sore point for artists and that’s how you ended with quite a few games sticking to the EGA palette and using dithering to simulate more colours while using a superior resolution (640x480, or was it 800x600?). I’ve some vivid memories of Cobra Mission for example, or the Commander Keen saga.

Hercules used to play in 720 x 400 or thereabouts.

And that CGA palette looks wrong to me, haha. All the games I ever saw were either cyan magenta black and white, or black red green yellow. First time I see a mix like this.

I am still annoyed that we let the damn Argentinian beef get through, but I think it’s comparatively hilarious that we still won’t budge on US “food”.

Holy shit! That guy hacked the system!

I’m guessing that one is toward the EU?

But can you shoot it down?

My landlady has two such hens (they give you a pair so they don’t feel lonely) and when she goes on holiday we get to enjoy free eggs. Absolutely delicious ones too! Even the best free range Bio ones don’t come anywhere near in terms of quality.
Only problem of hens is they’ll absolutely ravage your lawn if you leave them to feed alone for too long, so that was surprising.

“Another fals positive? Woops! Whatever shall we do?”

Brigador is amazing! The flavor text is so good I went out of my way to purchase it all (in game money, but still). Even better, it gives you hints of powerful combos to try out, amongst the many many possible combinations. It’s a fantastic blend of Mechwarrior, with Syndicate graphics, with a brilliant soundtrack. Such a gem!

If you enjoy zombi bashing but don’t care for all the depressive atmosphere of Dying Light, but would rather kick some ass, I would recommend Dead Island (1 or 2). The close combat fighting is visceral and fun and while the story has some real drama at times, it’s generally upbeat.

Seriously, I’ve had Dying Light for years not every time I get too brought down by the overall vibe and constantly feeling so weak. Whereas DI had me shredding a tear at least once but you kick ass throughout.
