I know people get really annoyed when Linux is shoved down people’s throat when talking about Windows problems, but if you can’t/don’t want to upgrade to Windows 11 for a myriad of perfectly valid reasons, it’s really the way to go. Extended Windows 10 support is only for one year.

Hopefully Linux distros with make the switch in their repositories quickly too.

I think they made the decision to go fully multiplatform with Xbox being a PC storefront years ago, but just can’t be straight with people about it. The next Xbox is going to be a line of PCs.

I’m getting increasingly annoyed by how much Microsoft are gaslighting people about what an Xbox is. I’m sure the Xbox Ally X is very good, but it’s a Windows device that does not play any form of Xbox software from any generation. Don’t let people feed you word salad telling you otherwise.

PSA this is the main GZDoom fork that the devs are getting behind

AUTOEXEC.BUN @davidxnewton.bsky.social · 23h

Major evolution in the GZDoom community tonight - the regular contributors finally had enough of the project lead, who had been very hard to work with for a long time. He dug in and told them "If you don't like it, go and make your own fork."

UZDoom is now live here.
github.com/UZDoom/UZDoom

GitHub - UZDoom/UZDoom: UZDoom is a feature centric port for all Doom engine games, based on ZDoom, adding an OpenGL renderer and powerful scripting capabilities

That makes sense! Thanks

Jake (sj33) @sj33.bsky.social · 13h

I thought DZDoom was the fork they made. It’s definitely this one then? Just want to be sure!

Jake (sj33) @sj33.bsky.social · 17h

He’s been a bit of a character for literally decades. GZDoom having bilinear filtering, jump and free look enabled by default is entirely his decision, for example. The community always disables that shit.

Jake (sj33) @sj33.bsky.social · 17h

AI was just the straw that broke the camel’s back I think. He’s more likely to just carry on GZDoom than try to be a mere contributor in a fork, but they can just block him as contributor if he tried.

I think the new DZDoom fork isn’t just AI, they no longer want to work with Graf. It’s the same as how FBNeo was forked from FBAlpha in that sense.

Honestly, some of these cheap business machines with potato integrated graphics make fantastic GOG machines. Play classic games without the distraction of modern ones.

The short version: the Gzdoom team has finally had enough of Graf Zhal's shit (including but not limited to pushing AI code into Gzdoom).

The entire team has packed up and made a new fork of Gzdoom.

I remember getting Exhumed/Powerslave for my brother because the box said it ran on PCs with 4MB RAM. It did not run on PCs with 4MB RAM.

My in-laws in Japan are now sending me over Geki Rock magazine every month so I can better follow what bands are up and coming in Japan. I expected this to be mostly ads since it’s a ‘free’ (not really free) magazine, but it’s a proper full magazine of all actual articles.
