For a time after its launch in I think 1997 people were calling Total Annihilation the greatest RTS and maybe the greatest game of all time. I wish the RTS community wouldn't shit so hard on any game that isn't StarCraft.

In 1996 I got online for the first time with dial up, it creeped my mother out "why do people talk to each other over the computer why can't they use the phone?" lol

My degree is in Psychology and I worked in the mental health field for years before switching to IT full time. The system is broken in many ways. Basically both Republican and Democrat parties fund the absolute federal bare minimums. In tho

I have a 2016 Acer Predator I use for work. I replaced the thermal compound with liquid metal. Dropped the temps 25c and I have had no issue with it, it is on generation behind being able to run Windows 11 but still.

I'm still driving a 2006 even though I have enough money saved up to buy a brand new car. There is literally nothing wrong with it. I see no point in buying a new car besides impressing people with my new car.

I got a ZIP drive like a year before I got a CD burner so it didn't have a very long lifespan. I wish I still had it so I could hook it up and see what I put on the discs.

>using polar coordinates for clipping comes to mind Wonder how he would do it in 2021. Also GLDoom was a project that started off of this but the source code was lost for 20 years due to a hard drive failure.

I was super hyped for Overwatch, I loved my time with the beta. I thought Overwatch was going to be the new Counter-Strike, Quake, or Halo. One of those games that just defines its time period. Then it launched and I got bored after 1 month

I'm 40 years old so I quit pirating games years ago, when I was 14 and got my first computer I was flat broke so I pirated everything. If somehow it magically became impossible to pirate games when I was 14 they wouldn't have made

I repasted my Acer Predator laptop with liquid metal. It went from 80c idle 95c load to 65-70c idle and 75c load. When I first turned it on I thought I hadn't plugged the fans back in all the way because it was so quiet. Fans didn&#x27

Years ago I setup a doctors office to use Pidgin with the Bonjour protocol for local IMs that wouldn't go over the internet. Worked well. Free too.

That is how I felt about the imdb forums and also ftp.cdrom.com. I was huge into Doom and Quake in the mid-late 90s and I used to get a ton of files from ftp.cdrom.com. All the WAD hosting went to places like doomworld and one day they anno

True but games also added client side hit prediction which the Quake engine games never did. As late as Quake 3 if you were using a railgun you would have to lead your shots. There was the ZeroPing mod for UT then Valve put client side hit

I've said it before and I'll say it again no matter how many times people say I'm "ignorant" and "read the source code". Tor is not secure. At all. Every single drug dealing and child porn site gets taken
