  • Your nostalgia is a bad reason for starting anything really. Most hopefully you won’t push your nostalgia on your children and force them to play outdated games.

    It would be great if game developers would open source games when they sunset them, sure. But also this might make it impossible for them to make a remaster of the game and sell it.

    You mention doom. But this is a 0.1% case. Thousands of games from that era vanished not because you cannot run them on modern hardware, but because they’re utter garbage by modern standards.

    https://dos.zone/ exists, and you can play a lot of iconic games in your browser. What’s exactly the player count there? And those are the best games from that era.







  • I don’t think we need transformers and flying in doom tbh, but it looks like we’ll have to deal with it now.

    Otherwise this joke on a hexen reboot is the ultimate meme of the reboot. And is much more intriguing than doing “doom eternal plutonia experiment”.

    The ancient holy wars part of the lore that you read in sentinel prime is the most intriguing part of the doom guy’s story. Links back to seraphim too. Walking through sentinel prime and reading all those things I really felt like I’d like to have seen those days. Oh boy, here we come!





  • Dummy, you’re talking about 2 displays in 4k while using a “type-c to HDMI+DP” whatever docking. There are no laptops out there that have two connection standards simultaneously wired to one type-c port. I don’t know your laptop model or the docking station model, and yet I can guarantee that you’re using a DisplayLink or a similar trash technology. While you, the owner, are utterly clueless, yet throw around 4k60fps.

    Your hardware setup excludes any possibility of good graphics or smooth rendering. On any platform. It works on windows so that excel monkeys could connect two monitors to their outdated laptops. And nobody who used their screens for more than text editing should be using this tech.

    Now, please, go write to the customer support line of DisplayLink asking them why are they a greedy corpo, and wouldn’t they be so kind to finally fuckin submit a working driver to the linux kernel. They’re like 5 years late on that.
