  • WTF Just Happened? | The Corrupt Memory Industry & Micron

    Jump

  • FWIW, I do subscribe/scheduled donate to media sources (news/tech) and some YT content (not GN, because of the aforementioned preference for text, I only watch some of their videos).

    Should GN move to PeerTube, I would consider a scheduled donation subscription purely to help kickstart the ecosystem.

    I strongly believe that subscriptions/scheduled donation are the best way forward for media. Simple focus on sources that one uses regularly (more than once a week).

  • I know, most of their content isn't published in text form though.

  • Valve block Steam game with queer art in Russia after state censor attacks it for “promoting non-traditional sexualities”

    Jump

  • I understand. This is a forum, so I am not going to add expansive footnotes to my posts, but I am happy to cite the research I have read if asked. FWIW, I have also read counter argument for approaches used by the research I have cited (which I don't find convincing).

    Just pointing out that I am not randomly making stuff up.

    Jump

  • I love GN for what they do, but I just can't get into the video format for tech hardware news or reviews.

    For some topics, I totally understand the strength of the video format, but for others it just doesn't make sense to me. A review is much quicker to process with commentary text and relevant charts for benchmarking. I would argue the same for less in-depth news and analysis.

    I also wish GN had a peetrube channel!

  • Flotsam, an exploration city-builder where you scavenge the oceans and explore the flooded remnants of the old world with your floating colony, released on Steam.

    Jump

  • Played this for about 2 hours yesterday.

    It's a good game, the mix of colony-building and exploration works really well. Although it does have some flaws.

    I might post a review after going a bit deeper into the game.

  • Allow programming automation games?

    Jump

  • IMO, programming automation is a good fit for this community. The concepts are similar and Fedi is pretty small.

  • Galaxy Princess Zorana is like if you made BG3 passive checks into a whole game, a great tale of political intrigue, and will give you like 4,000 ways to die embarrassingl

  • I actually do occasionally play VN's, but somewhat rarely.

  • Sim City 2000 - Downtown Dance (PSX Edition) (1993)

    Jump

  • This track teleports me back to early 1997 when my parents bought me a computer (well a family PC, but it was in my room and I managed it) and Simcity 2000 was of the first games I started figuring out.

    Track 8, Subway Song and Track 9 Chinatown Concerto are also awesome.

    Subway Song in particular sounds like someone imagining the an "urban future" in the early 90s.

  • This Half-Life mod reimagines the game as a boomer shooter—yes, even boomier than the original

    Jump

  • I am showing my age here, but it seems that boomer in context of slang means old person if you are in your 20s or earlier.

  • I would love a management/tycoon game where you build out black mesa and have to take care of your scientists and guards.

    Jump

  • I am not going to get into the discussion around the "boomer shooter" name, but surely HL1 would be considered part of the Gen X experience.

    The youngest millennials were in their early teens in 1998. The last members of Gen X were finishing up secondary school in 1998.

    I say this as a relatively early to mid generation millennial born in the late 80s.

    The whole generational cohort approach can be very limiting. IMO late cohort Gen X and early-mid cohort Millenials have a lot in common.

  • Revisiting Jill of the Jungle, the last game Tim Sweeney designed

    Jump

  • It was all right. It was fun to try something new.

    I was more into RPGs and strategy games even back then.

  • Revisiting Jill of the Jungle, the last game Tim Sweeney designed

    Jump

  • I remember playing Jill of the Jungle in early 1997, it was on one of those "100 in 1" pirate CD that were common around the time the CD-ROM was introduced (became somewhat common in my region).

    That same pirate compilation had Commander Keen, Dune 2 and many other games.

  • Dawn of the Tiberium Age mod v14.5.0 released.

    Jump

  • No, I am not the author, just sharing. :)

    This is an engine for running older C&C games (including multiplayer support):

    Dawn of the Tiberium Age (DTA) is a stand-alone mod that combines and enhances Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert using a heavily customized Tiberian Sun engine. Featuring all 4 factions (GDI, Nod, Allies and Soviets) with extremely polished gameplay, DTA allows you to mix and match the factions as you'd like in tons of new multiplayer maps and challenge yourself in dozens of original missions.

    Since DTA is a stand-alone mod, you don't require anything but the mod itself to be able to play: the original game is not required.
