I generally agree. Most of the humor in Duke 3D is actually in the environments. As a character Duke really isn't there. Him saying the same 6 one liners stolen from movies over and over hardly counts as comedy. But at the time it was exciting.

Ok... So if both sides are patriotically killing & dying then why is it an example? Is it because patriotism *can* be used for good? Also consider that patriotism might not a driving force at all, and maybe Ukrainians just hate being under Russian rule more.

Yeah, again after generations have passed. Nobody who established the state of Israel was around for when it there last. That's the whole purpose of the original Zionist movement - to make home for Jews who kept getting kicked out of everywhere else.

"Patriotism" in a modern sense, to me, is just an artificial system of control produced by a state. Nobody needs it to be motivated to actually be productive for society. Rejecting patriotism & being critical of state & demanding better treatment of citizens is, imo, healthier.

No it isn't. I've seen The Matrix projected half a dozen times, and this certainly isn't the original color grading. This print is a) faded b) too darkly scanned, everything is crushed.
Yes, the 2004 remasters that drenched everything is green were gross, but this isn't it either

It was more green that the original DVD, a hell of a let less green than the 2004 DVD/Blu-ray, and about as green as the 2018 UHD. It was definitely a lot greener than this print scan that's going around.

As someone who has seen The Matrix projected many times, I can assure you this scan isn't it. It's a lot closer to the 2018 UHD that got rid of the abhorrent 2004 re-grading, but it's absolutely nowhere near as bland as this scan.

It's standard practice for a gamedev studio. Whatever you make while you're employed, as long as it's videogame-related, is the property of the studio. However, that was very specifically *not* the case for Double Fine previously. Which is why the question is brought up.
Sun May 12 15:31:42 +0000 2024Replying to @MisguidedHog
The reason for that is that Double Fine has a regular event called "Amnesia Fortnight", where all of the employees get to pitch a 2 week project, & a handful gets picked & worked on. Tim always said that whatever doesn't get picked isn't the property of DF, but MS disagrees.

Actually Windows does support as many input devices as it can handle, it's just normal Windows mouse driver behavior isn't handled like that. But it's possible with custom drivers or software.

Here's Bill Pope in the April 1999 issue of "American Cinematographer" saying that the world of the Matrix was green.

Correct, the 2004 DVDs pushed the green to extreme, so many, myself included, complained. But I didn't expect the discourse to end up where we are now. It was green. Here's the cinematographer himself saying it in a magazine during the month of the release

The 1999 DVD release was also not indicative of the theatrical presentation. It was a lot more yellow. Someone screwed up the telecine. I say that as someone who has seen the film projected many times, and watched the original home video release 74 times when it was released.

The 2018 4K HDR version is a lot closer to the 1999 theatrical color grading than anything else currently available.

Real answers:
MS-DOS (or 86-DOS back then) was a clone of CP/M, which used forward slashes for program parameter switches, so it inherited that.
Directory support was added much later (root only originally), and since forward slash was taken, backwards slash it was.

With drives even easier: original IBM PC had a capability of having two floppy drives, but NO hard drives at all. HDD support was also added later (just like directories, in version 2), and since replacing A or B drives could break compatibility, the logical solution was C.

Sun May 26 18:54:39 +0000 2024Replying to @dosnostalgic
A movie like Fury Road only happens once. And it was a good decision to not try to copy it. Even the action in Furiosa is stylistically different, this time focusing on longer takes showing off the inner workings of things. Chris Hemsworth gets to be super Australian for once.

If one enjoys the older Mad Max films, I don't see why they also wouldn't like this one. If one expects Fury Road 2, they'll be disappointed.
Sun May 26 19:21:59 +0000 2024Replying to @noctivagus666
People generally like the 3rd one and the 1st one less because they focus a lot more on dialogue and slow world building than 2 and 4. Same with Furiosa. If you like it then I'd give the two you haven't seen a shot as well.

Funniest thing is that there was another Soviet game called Perestroika, by the company ParaGraph, that beat his game by a year, but didn't receive much recognition, and it also plays digital sound and music via PC Speaker. π€·ββοΈ

There were games doing that even in the first half of the 80s. Don't know which one was the first, but I played a lot of the PC port of Castle Wolfenstein (1984) that has a bunch of digitized speech.

Continuing with the doc. A cool appearance - Yulia "Ylitka" Novikova, the lead artist & world and character designer on Vangers. Says that the voxel engine of the game was the only one in the world, in the mid 90s. I mean, it was an unusual use case for voxels, but come on.
Mon May 27 14:40:38 +0000 2024Replying to @dosnostalgic
I will say that just having the title of "Lead Graphics Designer, World Designer, Characters- and Environment-Designer" on Vangers should elevate one to the status of a Legend in gamedev world.

There were dozens of voxel based games released before Vangers, including at least two Russian ones. Vangers are extremely cool, but to say that its voxel engine was completely unique is just not true.

It is. Although the lore of Vangers spans thousands of years, so the connection is fairly loose.

Here's Oleg Maddox (IL-2 Sturmovik) shows off the 1997 fps MadSpace claiming that it was the first game to implement speech recognition and dual wielded weapons. I probably like MadSpace more than most people, but I don't think these claims are true either.

And here's Oleg insisting that the arcade flightsim Stormfighter (1995) was the first game to have an announcer voice that generated announcements from separate pre-recorded words and small phrases. I'm dying over here.

Shariki is almost certainly the first modern Match 3 game. But almost nobody has heard about or its author. It's never brought up in history of the genre, instead people go for Columns and such. But I guess *someone* at PopCap must have played it.

Only because of the point of view. Other than that it was no different that any other voxel engine. It's Ylitka's art design that makes Vangers unique, not so much the tech.

DOS games are more or less 80s and 90s PC games from the pre-Windows era. It's games that required MS-DOS to run. Original DOOM is a DOS game. Original release of Fallout 1 also included a DOS version in addition to Windows one. Fallout 2 did not.

When people talk about these franchises it's not like they pretend the game before 3rd one don't exist. They are usually mentioned alongside them.
Like, when polls r made about favorite Sonic games, usually 1 & 2 are a choice. I've seen many GTA polls w/o 1&2, but with PSP games.

The reason Fallout "didn't catch on" has nothing to do with Bethesda. First 2 games were some of the best selling PC games of their time, but it was exactly that. They were PC games. Selling a million on PC was hit numbers at the time. F3 did the 2000s console numbers - >10 mil.
