PAL consoles output in different "resolution" and refresh rate, and therefore games have to be rewritten the account for that.

 Fri May 07 21:12:14 +0000 2021

Diamond Digger/Gold Miner/Raiders of the Forbidden Mine (Scott Miller/Keypunch Software, 1986) #DOSGameScreenADay

 Fri May 07 21:25:30 +0000 2021

Because console games often use scanline effects. Like switching palettes or shifting images mid screen drawing to achieve something. Those values would obviously be different on PAL vs NTSC because of different timing used on them.

 Fri May 07 21:46:46 +0000 2021

And, believe it or not, if you used similar effects on PC and wanted them to work in 60 or 70 Hz modes, you'd have to rewrite them too! The difference on PC is you'd tend to include the options because of different configurations available, when console configurations are static.

 Fri May 07 21:49:21 +0000 2021

Definitely an "interesting" choice to zoom on dioramas as a blurry mess. Looks like someone is rendering a PSX era game on an emulator in higher resolution, where it resizes 3D geometry, but only stretches bitmaps.

So about two weeks after I packed up my Oculus Rift CV1 I've decided to give a more current generation of VR a shot in the form of Quest 2. And oh boy, it introduced nearly as many problems as it has fixed. 🤷‍♂️

 Wed May 12 22:50:23 +0000 2021

But at least it's nice to be able to use only one port on my PC, and not FIVE (4 USBs, and 1 HDMI) as I had to previously, so there's that.

 Wed May 12 22:51:15 +0000 2021

It fucking kills me that it's still so hostile to people with glasses. Like, now it has more room and comes with an optional bracket to create additional space, but... with new lenses you *have to* look exactly in the middle, yet there's only 3 fixed settings for lens spacing now

 Wed May 12 22:54:35 +0000 2021

Oculus software refused to recognize Link the first few times, despite everything being updated to the latest version, etc. At one point Link just flat out crashed mid-game for me. PC VR still remains a 90s-like experience where everything is a random crapshoot.

 Wed May 12 22:57:06 +0000 2021

Yes, the cable worked the same way for CV1, except for the HDMI. Plus 3 USB 3's for sensors, because tracking wasn't great with just the included 2.

 Wed May 12 22:58:39 +0000 2021

I was asking the same question when I got the CV1, and couldn't fit my not very large frames into it.

 Wed May 12 23:01:10 +0000 2021

Anyway, I can play Superhot VR in my kitchen now, so that's a massive advantage right there. 👍

Ok, now I don't understand the argument anymore. Sure, paintings. books, and songs by themselves aren't gonna march along and change the world, but surely they can facilitate organized action, the only thing capable of actually doing that?

That's a weird fucking take, tbh. And the answer to the third question is rather obvious, and honestly unrelated to the discussion.

How is the working class supposed to get aware of these factors? Surely art *can* be a facilitating tool? Again, the latter part of the tweet has nothing to do with the discussion at hand. Nobody is trying to prove that art can only be political & should be only enjoyed as such.

For Gates it was very much the case of being in the right place at the right time. IBM trust (but then, why wouldn't they? Their Basic was a super successful product), IBM anti-monopoly lawsuit that informed the licensing agreement, & then Compaq with their ROM & all the clones.

Few films make me swoon over their filmmaking as much as Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy. I always enjoyed these movies, but now that I'm older I certainly appreciate their ambition and playfulness with tropes. And, of course, the images are stunning.

DNF was the original Postal 2, apparently. https://t.co/xuUwbhyPxg

 Thu May 27 22:12:34 +0000 2021

How is it unfairly treated? It's RWS's biggest financial success. Published all over the world. Has multiple expansions. Regarded as the best in the series. Has a movie made based on it.

 Thu May 27 22:18:26 +0000 2021

Why do I own this?

 Thu May 27 22:22:27 +0000 2021

I feel like that's been recognized both back then, and today. It's pretty much the only thing that game has going for it, because the rest is quite janky. So much so that RWS are essentially doing Postal 2 again with Postal 4.

 Thu May 27 22:24:24 +0000 2021

(It's because it came with the game, and it was cheaper than actually buying the game separately.)

 Thu May 27 22:25:06 +0000 2021

I was actually at Fangoria con in 2007 where they showed the opening sequence of the film to promote its upcoming release. I was tricked. It's the only moderately clever/funny thing in the entire flick.

 Thu May 27 22:26:31 +0000 2021

It really does feel like something that belongs in the Postal 2 adaptation. Has a bit of Troma-like edgy humor to it. The rest of the film is... not that.

 Thu May 27 22:28:32 +0000 2021

Postal is pretty bad. In pretty much every aspect. I'm yet to try the remake though.

 Thu May 27 22:29:42 +0000 2021

Yeah, because they don't commit to anything. In the end, it's just a giant cop out. Postal 2 definitely benefits from sticking to it.

 Thu May 27 22:31:44 +0000 2021

Well, Postal is not an FPS, and is kind of terrible. But Postal 2, despite all of its edgelordness, made quite a few unique decisions for the time, resulting in a pretty interesting open world mission based FPS in 2003.

I actually consider Neverhood more of a Myst-inspired game than many that have been mentioned. It's very much the same abstract puzzle-centered gameplay, and worldbuilding. Not to mention that half of the game is actually in first person.

They are both worth playing. Starship Warlock is interesting because it did the "interactive movie" thing earlier than most. And Cosmology of Kyoto is the only game that is horror-edutainment. The similarities are mostly in implementation. They are both Director games.

How high were Tarantino and Avary while writing Pulp Fiction? Because the script has like a ton of typos

 Tue Jun 01 00:34:01 +0000 2021

I thought it was a deliberate attempt to differentiate it from the first film with that title, as well as overcoming a possible struggle of advertising a film with a swear word in its title in the US. But I also haven't looked at a Tarantino script until just now.

 Tue Jun 01 00:38:09 +0000 2021

Oh my lord, I have to read this one. 😄This almost feels like reading a Shane Black script.

 Tue Jun 01 00:42:32 +0000 2021

Huh. It's weird that I knew that about Shane Black before I ever seen any of his scripts kind of just because that's what his image was when he was hot in Hollywood, but I've never heard it about Tarantino, even though he's been an image of success my whole conscious life.

 Tue Jun 01 00:48:10 +0000 2021

I drunkenly bought the script for Dogma, and it was the most boring thing. EVERYTHING ended up on screen, and what didn't was on the DVD. I could have written that script after watching the film a couple of times.

Not to derail, but have you read any Shane Black's scripts? They are hilarious. This is the first page of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

I don't know what's available, but what I've seen online is quite interesting. The changes are often so drastic. Like the KKBB script that's out there is missing so many pieces that I love, including Dabney's Playmate in 1964 speech, which is just "nice tits" at that point.

 Tue Jun 01 01:08:07 +0000 2021

Deleted scenes from The Teriminator are pretty fascinating. They explain why Reese and Sarah end up at *that* specific place in the end, not to mention this entire unused ending that basically bridges this movie and the sequel together.

 Tue Jun 01 02:17:40 +0000 2021

As far as sequels go this is kind of funny. Because you think "oh, they've pulled the arm and the chip thing out of their ass to keep the story going" for the sequel, but lo and behold it was always there as the traditional dun dun DUN 80s horror ending.
