I really don't see why you wouldn't expect to find cache-sensitivity in Python, or in some other similarly high-level language. Python sequences are defined as "support[ing] efficient element access using integer indices&quot

For what it's worth, the modern source port for Descent (DXX-Rebirth) makes bilinear filtering optional, too, while using OpenGL and allowing MSAA and stuff. I played through the first two games some time ago and I also found the bilin

Generally, I don't think there's much of a difference once you've got Steam installed. I've had some crashes of Steam itself in the past and I don't know if those were somehow distro-specific. I don't think I&#
