I wanna make sure I’m not breaking the law: So I’m tagging you here after I turned to this page.
It needs further review but my hypothesis is that before we could play Quest64. But now thanks to science, we can know what is Quest64. One day we will answer the how.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

Enjoy this on your #SteamDeck /BigPicture when you boot Steam. Might tweak it a bit later.

LucasArts had so many internal tools, but to make levels their FPS games "Dark Forces" and "Outlaws" they just used the good old AutoCAD. Here are shots of "Outlaws" maps being worked on in AutoCAD R13 for Windows:

Anyone saying that AI disclosures should be removed from Steam is not your friend. They do not want you to know what you're buying. It's no different from saying we shouldn't list Nutritional Facts on food.

I finished Tomb Raider 1 and forgot how unbelievably difficult that game is.
Shout-out to the incredible remaster btw. Absurdly well-done. And phenomenal achievements as well. Got a kick when one literally requires you to perform a glitch.

Hell has frozen-over and we are in the weirdest timeline.
There’s for some-reason a new #Bubsy game, and its demo is unironically great. End times are upon us.

'Night and the City' by Chris Donlan remains one of the finest online articles on game urbanism ever. Somehow simultaneously personal, historical, and objective it is an excellent read, and a reminder that L.A. Noir remains truly unique.

I understand games go on sale, but WHAT IS THE REAL COST OF #MASSEFFECT LEGENDARY EDITION?! This game is either $60 or $5.
NOTHING IN-BETWEEN! Only these two prices EVERY-OTHER WEEK! On the wrong day: Pay 10x more than you would for the other HALF OF THE MONTH.

More 90's upscale tests.
It's weird how I'm pretty sure that I'm skilled enough to actually remake this game. I know most of the puzzles and I can easily see throwing something like this together in the new version of AGS which now thankfully supports video.

I haven't checked into how video upscalers are doing recently so I decided to rectify that. They're getting better. In cases where the original footage is somewhere, in someones box, in someones garage, this would be not a bad starting point for a restoration project.

Time to shout into the ether again: But is the #MetaQuest the single worst piece of hardware to troubleshoot.
Seriously, I’ve never seen one issue have this many reasons for happening, and 50% of the solutions are like: Just leave it on and when it feels like it wants to work it will work.
Wtf.
