I played a lot of TetriNET and Subspace Continuum with my old online community. Great times.

More detail edit: TetriNET walked so Tetris 99 could run. Version 1 does not install on Windows anymore (but has a Linux version). Version 2 works, complete with its archaic user registration that asks for too many details.

Continuum is a large PvP arena Asteroids-like 2D space shooter. It’s on Steam now. Starts tough to control and with a high skill ceiling, so be wary of the veterans. The Death Star Battle map is a blast with a big group. It feels like trying to speed through a narrow maze on bumper boats during a huge battle.

Pyre is a sports game disguised as an RPG

With buzzwords like metaverse being thrown around, I’m imagining a GTA6 that has brand partnership NFTs. Like when Madden/FIFA added Nike items in 2023.

But that would never happen, since GTA is known for satirizing brands and corporate behavior, right? Besides, these brands would never want to be shown alongside gamer-generated content…

Beer was far from cheap in Nova Scotia, at least when I lived there.

Which LLM are you?

Haha, I would never do that to myself. I just get a quick glimpse of the bare 'net when I try the web browser built into Steam. My DNS is mostly filtering telemetry right now, while I leave the bulk of the blocking to uBlock Origin.

Reminds me of L4D2’s Dead Center

That one is terrible. I assume by “object” they mean “dog wearing accessories”. That captcha was made to trick humans.

Wait a second…

Science is completed. Science has won.

Vista is the OS that taught me the desktop compositor is capable of destroying game performance and latency

Resident rolly-planker Hony Tawk recognizes RAWNESS!

That head swap editing might be the best I’ve ever seen.

Absolutely. Although, this is just making old technology worse because web 3.0 and AI aren’t performing to corpo expectations.

Oh Valve, knowing threads of people asking for invites will build hype.

I’ve had issues on stock x11 PopOS using nvidia. Decent fps, but bigger drops and frametime consistency seemed horrible. I have to turn off my (mismatched) 2nd monitor for my proper refresh rate to work, but it still looked very microstuttery. I miss VRR, but I think there’s a bigger underlying issue than vsync/VRR not working. Haven’t tried Wayland yet.

WINaE! It bugs me that it isn’t “Wine Is Not Emulation”
