Half-Life 2 peaks at 52,000 concurrent players, 20 years after its release
  • I posted from Boost for Lemmy, but formatted nothing.

  • Half-Life 2 is currently 100% off for its 20th anniversary, plus a major update
  • Both end songs are on my playlist, I love it when the randomize function picks them up. You could say it is a triumph.

  • Half-Life 2 RTX | Half-Life 2 20th Anniversary Tribute Video
  • I'm still playing this game today. Undoubtedly my favorite game.

  • Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?
  • I've been playing Eldritch. Friggin frustrating game. Ok, just one more go.

  • Why did Raspberry Pi make their own SSD?
  • I do. I use a Pi-Hole at home along with an adblocker, but I'm not always home.

  • Why did Raspberry Pi make their own SSD?
  • I'm fine with hack-a-day. YouTube requires me to sit through some ads, watch a sometimes que long intro, cut to the sponsors, more rambling, finally a couple of seconds that answer the title question, and then the obligatory "like and subscribe". Nah.

  • Whales
  • I vote with my wallet by buying indie games or old discounted single player AAA games. This also means I can game on a crappy machine. Being a retrogamer also helps. I literally have more games to play than time to live.

  • Hey Lemmy, what's a movie you think everybody should see at least once?
  • The way they casually throw in a bazooka wielding character with zero introduction is just hilarious.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Not when it requires VR, it's not. I know there are patches to remove the requirement, but the game was designed with VR in mind.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • I'm glad you feel that way. Keep it up as long as you can.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • gestures broadly at all things

    Humanity in general. People are jerks. Maybe Agent Smith was right all along.

    Other than that... Half-Life 3 ever being made.

  • Mechazilla has caught the Super Heavy booster!
  • The bottom of the top.

  • What are politically progressive Tesla owners doing with their vehicles now that Musk is transparently in bed with the opposite end of the political spectrum?
  • Completely off topic but as a European it blows my mind that gunfire resistance is a factor to consider when purchasing cars in America.

  • ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ Makes $7M In Thursday Night Previews, Receives 36% Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score – Box Office
  • The only good musicals (where people start singing for no reason) that I actually love are Blues Brothers and Monty Python's Holly Grail.

    I'd watch it if it was a heavy dark drama. A musical? I think not.

  • Man-in-the-Middle PCB Unlocks HP Ink Cartridges
  • Remember when HP made great printers? I still have an old HP Laserjet 1100 in use. When that one dies, I don't think I'll be buying any other printer.

  • ManCave decoration
  • A man does not decorate his cave.

  • Winamp Releases Source Code, But Is It Really Open?
  • That may be so, but it is the only software that does whip the llama's ass.

  • What software you consider so bad it made you happy when you left your job?

    I've worked with some pretty rotten software, but management software is easily the most user unfriendly, so my vote goes to HPSM.

    What is the name of your cleaning robot?

    What name have you chosen for your robot and why?

    My Roomba is called Ramiro, after my slightly alcoholic uncle.

    FYI LibreOffice Draw allows you to open, edit and digitally sign PDF files

    I see the question asked a lot in Linux groups, so I hope this bit of knowledge may help someone here.

    ZX Speccy Next running Lords of Midnight

    The Next version of this game is simply stunning, even on my crappy little Blaupunkt TV. Recreated by Matt Davies and Simon Butler from the original Mike Singleton release, it shows just what a brilliant games machine the Next can be.

    Yep, good old NVG is still up.

    If you remember the Speccy scene in the 90's, you must have no doubt downloaded some games from the old ftp.nvg.ntnu.no FTP server.

    After World of Spectrum came along, I had mostly forgotten about it. This week I remembered and took a peek... and what a nice surprise, the old geezer is still there, complete with a README file from 1995/03/11 signed by Arnt Gulbrandsen.

    Have a look, there are even some messages from the comp.sys.sinclair USENET newsgroup.

    Good times.

    ZX81 Mechanical Keyboard

    Good looking mechanical keyboard project for the ZX81 (or the modern equivalent, the ZX81+38), including all the designs and schematics.

    Beautiful pixel art

    It always amazes me when people manage to bend Speccy display's limitations and come up with wonderful digital art. I came across Adam's @[email protected] work on Mastodon and it became one of my favourites. Do yourself a favour and have a look.

    Advanced Lawnmower Simulator - World Of Spectrum Classic

    While Real LifeTM strives to keep me away from all things Speccy related, I was pleasantly surprised to see the legacy of the old World of Spectrum site preserved in WoS Classic.

    So why not have a go at the awesome Advanced Lawnmower Simulator to celebrate? Go go, you know you want to...

    Guitar solo!

    Oh dear, it seems a gathering of silly persons was brought forth and silliness ensued, as foretold by the ancient scrolls.
