I will be buying Doom Eternal. I've basically built a new pc for it. I won't be buying these ports as I have the originals anyway.

The fact of the matter is that neither of us know.

Well the you in YouTube is becoming redundant yes. But a lot of people like me go there because I can't stand a lot of mainstream content. Sure there is a lot of crap on there but there are some real gems on YouTube.

I know people don't like Bethesda (neither do I) but generally there is normally solid reasons why companies don't do such things. A lot of the time there is other stuff in that source code or attached to the source code that they

It does run fine on the switch hardware a homebrew port has been out for quite a while. Chocolate Doom was ported last year.

It is a real shame because I played the hell out of Skyrim, Oblivion and Doom 2016 (one of the best games to come out in the last 5 years) and own several copies of each. I actively avoided almost everything from them since and I am just ho

According to MVG on youtube the Doom 1&2 engine is Unity. I have no idea why that is the case though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh7nZ9t2eJA Also apparently they have slowed down the Midi Soundtrack as well.

Well if you unlock the switch there is of course a port.

C# has `readonly` variables. The values of these cannot be changed after the constructor has finished running.

Yeah you are probably right. I think the last version of Windows that runs well and has a proper floppy driver is XP-64 bit (basically Windows Server 2003 64bit). OpenBSD will probably work well if I swap out the Geforce 8800 GPU with an AM

No sorry this is backwards. I don't have to prove anything. I wasn't making a claim they were (and it is quite a serious claim). As far as I am concerned there is no evidence other than spurious claims from the SPLC and the ADL. I

This is a shame. I still use floppy disk with Linux as I can write force the drive to write in 720k mode which is necessary for older computers such as Amigas and Atari STs. USB floppy drivers can't write to 720k for reasons that I wil

Well sometimes you don't get to use the tech you want. I almost never get the use the tech I want on a project, It is normally chosen for me by someone else and I have to live with their decisions. People like to pretend that being req

Obviously I was disputing it. You do know that Gavin McInnes wife is an Indian right and he started the proud boys as a joke? Do do know that right? I wouldn't believe everything you read from those sources. The SPLC just had to apolog

The proud boys are a strange white power group when they have prominent black members.

I looked plenty deep enough. That series of events is a very very dishonest and incomplete attempt at re-framing the whole issue and all the people involved. I have very little to do generally with games, but I've had a similar situati

No it wasn't. I actually looked into the whole saga as I kept on hearing about it (back in 2015ish). From what I could gleen there were some individual women that said disparaging remarks about a whole group of individuals and were sur

None of that is restricted because you buy a Mac or a Windows machine. Those things subjects you have mentioned are all ideas that are totally independent to the OS. Why does it matter if they learn them on a Mac or a Windows machine? The O

I was replying specifically to you wondering why what you consider to be poor performance became the norm. Generally as long as the feature is acceptably fast making it faster is likely a waste of time in most circumstances, especially when

Your type of attitude scares me. Developers making up arbitrary requirements based on what they want has causes me many a headache.

Because a business report typically doesn't need to be run quickly, it needs to be accurate.

I would beg to differ. There are a lot of people / kids using it that don't really understand what is going on under the hood. Also the number of bugs that get marked as Won't Fix that are real problems by upstream doesn&#x27

This maybe a surprise to some people but just because you support a group or a person that doesn't mean you agree with or condone everything they do.
