How do you deal with eternal loneliness?
  • That's a hobby...

  • Super House of Dead Ninjas is shutting down
  • If there was ever a suitable time to release a game to the public domain...

  • Feelin' the burn
  • She's so hench she doesn't need armour

  • Feelin' the burn
  • The consensus seems to be that people only played it because it came bundled with the console

  • What are the major world news that you got from weird sources (and maybe wish you had heard first from legit news sources)?
  • We had a big screen in the office at the time, and we had a map showing the current spread. It went from interesting to alarming very rapidly.

  • Sony will cut around 250 jobs from the recordable media business manufacturing hub and will gradually cease production of optical discs, including Blu-ray discs.
  • But adoption has fallen so significantly that you have to rely on listicles to find what you're looking for. The same could very easily and quickly happen with optical discs, and if I may be afforded an anecdote, I've seen exactly one optical disc brand in the last decade (Verbatim). And that's when shops have them available, which is extremely rare nowadays.

    They might not go away completely, but just like with headphone jacks on phones, you'll have to scrounge for them. Same with if you want a display that's less than 6", or a physical keyboard. (Or a floppy disk...!)

  • Sony will cut around 250 jobs from the recordable media business manufacturing hub and will gradually cease production of optical discs, including Blu-ray discs.
  • How many headphone jacks do you see today? All it takes is one big player, and adoption can fall just like that.

  • Who is a character you feel is overhated and despised too much ?
  • She's hated because Walt turned everyone against her - including the viewer, it seems

  • What’s Your Oldest System?
  • A Binatone 6-in-1 Pong machine from (if I recall) around 1977. My next oldest machine is a red-label Astro Wars from 1980.

  • PlayStation has no games!
  • Which ones? As far as I'm aware, they're all full-fat PS3 titles

  • What's your biggest gamer achievement?
  • Minor correction: some levels had bonus areas where you could save, but you could only do so once. Still a ballache.

  • Pity, really.
  • Pretty sure I was fooling around with LimeWire at that age

  • Pity, really.
  • I don't see you contributing much of value either...

  • What is your favourite game with native Linux port?
  • Nope, I meant this Doom, whose original source code is here on GitHub.

    I'm surprised you've not got OpenRCT2 to work - I'm fairly sure it's in most default repos.

    You do need to have a full copy of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 as it uses data / assets from the original game.

    I would happily link you to Unreal Tournament, but it's no longer for sale anywhere as far as I'm aware.

  • Embarassing(?) confession
  • Part of my wife's rationale for getting an Ecobubble was that it played the little song, and she loves it. (Also the whole low power and water usage thing)

  • Testing out Lemmy with a picture of my cat, Poppy!

    Unfortunately Poppy left us in January of this year, but she was a beautiful cat and this is one of my favourite pictures of her.
