People keep bringing up the tech aspects of Duke 3D in 1996, and I just want to point out that Duke Nukem 3D was still pretty advanced. Yeah, it wasn't Quake, but what was? That's like saying Bioshock wasn't as advanced as Crysis. https://x.com/tametick/status/1156935505231192065

Wargames (and other strategy genres, but *a lot* of wargames) and simulators are two genres that had plenty of titles where you got to play for the side that eventually lost.

 Thu Aug 01 14:48:24 +0000 2019

Yes, I remember it well. Quake was called "ugly" for years, and still does. I myself was of a similar opinion. Although these days I'd rather play Quake than Duke 3D.

That was largely an artistic choice. Take a look at the actual palette the game uses and something like the X-Men commercial addon to see more colors.

Honestly probably a third of a reason why I played as many DOS games as I have is because I was stuck with my first Pentium all the way until 2002.

Please let's not make videogame streaming platforms the new norm. *Everyone* should be against this. It doesn't benefit the customer, it doesn't benefit the devs, the only entities it benefits r the corporations that take your money, make sure you own nothing, & don't pay anyone.

 Mon Aug 05 15:16:55 +0000 2019

Running a Google-size server farm, and a bunch of isps is more efficient than running a game locally? If that doesn't sound bad to you, then it's all good. It doesn't offend me.

 Mon Aug 05 18:46:32 +0000 2019

On paper, maybe. I'd like to see what quality of game streaming would actually work with mostly terrible and costly internet connections around the US.

 Mon Aug 05 21:30:39 +0000 2019

As far as being poor and all, I grew up in Russia during the time average monthly salary varied between $20 and $50 US dollars for like a decade. I had a ZX Spectrum in the 90s. I had a Pentium 75 into the year 2002. That's partially why I do what I do.

 Mon Aug 05 21:32:35 +0000 2019

Also, if the next PlayStation is really $900 (I'm having a hard time actually picturing Sony shooting themselves in the foot *that* badly) then I hope it'll make PC gaming more popular. You can get a decent machine for like half that price.

 Mon Aug 05 21:39:47 +0000 2019

Anything extraneous except for a multi gigabit connection, yes.

 Mon Aug 05 21:42:47 +0000 2019

Speak for yourself. I have an Oculus and a PC that can run GTA5 or Doom 2016 without dropping a frame, and I got the whole thing on a budget, and spent just slightly over $1000, but that's with an Oculus. I'm sure since it's been some time one can get same specs for less.

"Sfinx" is the only game I can think of where you can change your sound card configuration at any time during the game. #DOSGaming

 Tue Aug 06 17:09:27 +0000 2019

I guess I better update this while the comments are coming in: Plenty of games allowed you to switch to a different sound device during game, but how many can you think of that would let you choose IRQ, DMA, and a PORT during gameplay?

That's a no on both. X-Wing/Tie both have iMuse setup externally, all you can do is change volume and toggle music or sfx on/off. Original version of Dune doesn't even have any kind of options or configuration. Volume, language, and music changing options were added in CD version

Right, but one still can't configure the sound card in game is what I'm saying.

That's very interesting. I've seen the DSS programming guide, and just assumed that it was accessible enough where the others followed it. Didn't know that wasn't the case.
Also, it's my Covox video that also covers DSS. I just threw all the DACs I had into one.

Briefly tried two free to play games on GeForce Now last night, and, to my surprise, despite it saying that my connection is too slow, it worked pretty flawlessly. Visually it's like a decent quality live stream that you somehow can control. Sometimes compression is obvious.

 Thu Aug 15 21:52:46 +0000 2019

So on a technical level it makes sense. It connects to your Steam library, so I guess the idea is when you're away from your gaming machine you can still enjoy your games on a platform that's not fit for them (a Mac laptop for example). And that's pretty cool.

It's pretty funny, because you actually have to install the game inside the client (it's instant) and when you run it for the first time it still does all the DirectX and VC distributive checks and whatnot. But I'm guessing cloud saves would also work.

 Fri Aug 16 04:11:48 +0000 2019

I enjoyed the flick, but it will be a long while before I ever decide to revisit it. It very much felt like a self repeat in just about everything. That isn't exactly bad, but at the same time, idk... unnecessary maybe?

 Fri Aug 16 04:14:39 +0000 2019

Idk. I get so much enjoyment out of revisiting Pulp Fiction, Inglourious Basterds, or Death Proof that it's hard for me to watch his films that don't have the same impact on me. I appreciate the filmmaking. I laughed a lot watching it, but then I I also laughed @ The Hateful 8.

 Fri Aug 16 04:27:52 +0000 2019

And I don't usually compare things that are so different, but while the scene where Rick gets his shit together and starts acting played I couldn't stop thinking of Mulholland Drive, and how much more impactful the same kind of scene was there, for example.

 Sat Aug 17 03:48:06 +0000 2019

It's funny how limited stock, cameras, and lenses almost dictate the style here, because the director wanted to be visually interesting, but there was only a handful of ways to achieve that. El Mariachi visually feels very close to Peter Jackson's first couple of films.

 Sat Aug 17 03:58:52 +0000 2019

Sadly El Mariachi is the kind of film I know too much about the making of, to the point where technical details start distracting me from the narrative. Especially the crazy editing during the dialogue which I know wasn't an artistic choice.

 Sat Aug 17 04:04:42 +0000 2019

And yet cuts that hide the absence of sync sound, or mistakes of just having one take, or other imperfections give this movie so much energy. It's constantly in motion. So much fun.

Well, I'm happy to report that 27 years after its release El Mariachi is still a great movie. It even feels more impressive than before to me. It feels like it should have been impossible to make an action movie with this little money. Yet here it is.

 Mon Aug 19 00:10:13 +0000 2019

Yes, I have. It's by the same people who made B.A.T. games and it's... not very good.

 Mon Aug 19 00:16:17 +0000 2019

Does it really count as a rip off if it's from the creator of Rayman?

 Mon Aug 19 00:17:16 +0000 2019

Hah. That's weird. Can't be true though, since I have a magazine from April of 99 that also says it was one of best platformers of 98.

 Mon Aug 19 00:19:24 +0000 2019

I mean, the USA certainly had its hand in draining resources from Russia during the 90s for sure. But I think there were many more obvious factors at play.

Gorbachev did fuck up *plenty* himself though, make no mistake.

 Mon Aug 19 00:26:24 +0000 2019

They are super clunky, but I think they are worth playing just to see how ambitious they are, especially the second game. It's gonna be frustrating though.

I personally prefer the longer cut, but Tarkovsky approved of the shorter version, and it's currently available in a much better quality.

 Mon Aug 19 00:46:54 +0000 2019

I mean you're not really losing anything *that* important, but it has some obvious censorship that makes certain scenes a bit less impactful. But also there's real violence against animals in the longer cut. So it's up to you.

 Mon Aug 19 00:49:31 +0000 2019

Oh really? What are your three favorite ones so far?

I think the sketches depict two butts in the middle there.

 Mon Aug 19 01:18:35 +0000 2019

Or it might be two butts

 Mon Aug 19 01:22:57 +0000 2019

Oh wow. These are not my favorites, although I see how they more removed from Russia, and therefore might appeal better that way.

I'm also not sure why everyone is so crazy about Solaris. All the conversations just don't feel organic to me.

Zombies are gray, but their blood is green. It wasn't an anti-piracy feature, but rather a UK release where laws didn't allow games where you could run over real people.

There are modern ports, yes. Not sure about modern VR because I haven't checked, but I also wouldn't be surprised if it was implemented already.

I still don't particularly understand why Wal-Mart release of "NAM" was renamed to "Napalm". Were they afraid that casually shopping vets were gonna get ptsd? Wouldn't NAPALM do the same though?

 Wed Aug 21 18:57:24 +0000 2019

Wait. Look at the tags. They also renamed the protagonist from Alan Westmoreland to Alan Mason. This is really bizarre.

 Wed Aug 21 19:03:12 +0000 2019

Idk

 Wed Aug 21 19:05:55 +0000 2019

For sure, I just find this case to be the most bizarre, and making the least sense. (With "Blood" with blood disabled being probably the funniest)

 Wed Aug 21 19:07:50 +0000 2019

Pretty sure Wal-Mart sold games with actual "Vietnam" in the title around the same time.

 Wed Aug 21 19:08:53 +0000 2019

Me too.

 Wed Aug 21 19:09:15 +0000 2019

Sadly, the "the same as back in the day, but a lot MORE" approach is what makes it surprisingly annoying for me. It wasn't so noticeable in the demo, but a lot more apparent in the full version. More on this when I actually finish the game.

Of course the third one depends on one being able to enjoy Broken Lizard stuff in the first place, but luckily I am one of those people.

Most Perestroika films were critical of the authority, mostly because you were finally allowed to be, but in the end most came off either depressing or flat out hateful. Kin-dza-dza actually managed to be original about it. I still remember discovering it in high school.

 Thu Aug 22 04:24:19 +0000 2019

Also how's the translation? I'd imagine it's a pretty hard material to adapt because of the nonsensical Chatlanin speak. And a lot of the dialogue style is extremely Russian/Georgian.
