Awesome! Might I recommend adding Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight? There's already an open source renderer available ( https://github.com/stephanreiter/jkview ) and you can see it, here, for example: https:/

No. The system when originally started had more people than seats so they had an online reservation system. You had to reserve to get a seat, but you didn't have to actually pay to reserve (until some point later?). There is some in

Filed minor bug report about tiny/disappearing scroll bars last time this showed up here. Authors took it seriously and pushed a change very quickly. Thanks!

I'm uncomfortable with the usage of the word "free" on this site. You are required to provide personal information (name, email address, maybe some other stuff) in order to access the videos. Their privacy policy states tha

This looks really nice but I think it suffers from the same issue a lot of regex tutorials suffer from. It's focusing solely on the regex and not at all on how to actually execute them. This site in particular says it's going to

Nice! A visitor to my super-old Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight site ( https://www.massassi.net/ ) wrote and contributed something similar for Jedi Knight maps. (The site uses frames and thus I can't easily link to a page

They absolutely do send "promotional" emails and in the communication preferences there was a huge list of different newsletters (which always seems to change). I'm not the only one getting this spam email: https:/

I don't know what is up with mozilla/firefox. I'm still using firefox but not because I like it, only because the alternatives are worse. I signed up for a firefox account almost right after they were announced. At the tim

I read your post as you were some sort of event planner or something, not that you were using it in a personal group of friends. Please forgive the misunderstanding. I see a lot of groups/businesses that use facebook exclusively to c

I'm not convinced about Amazon. It's very difficult to find out what things I'm even subscribed to. In most cases they refuse to send emails/invoices before/after any recurring charge (amazon music, any of the add

Hello, you could say that. I love JK and I played the thing with the software renderer for years because my s3 virge card wouldn't render the game correctly. My son teases me these days "Jedi Knight sucks, dad!" when he catc

I'm afraid of this because I don't think the execution matches the marketing. Sites like Ars Technica are wooing users into their subscriptions by promising that they will not track you and they will not show you ads, but then if

I really like this. I have a pretty big legacy site with one section full of user-contributed (HTML/images) tutorials written over a period of 20 years (yes, the site has been up over 20 years) and it'd be nice to just copy/

I don't understand this comment. That page removes the ability to scroll via pageup/down, via arrow keys, via spacebar, and via a scroll-bar on the right (even when force-enabled via operating system settings). It appears that t

My experience has been the opposite. It breaks every Amazon Pay integration and a lot of Paypal integrations as well. It also breaks online banking for the two credit unions I use, both of which seem to use some 3rd party service to run t

It's really interesting that their web site says you only need to show ID if you don't have proof of purchase (and it's only in the fine print at the bottom, the top indicates you need it in any case). I recently had to retu

Yep. I'm not excited about this release at all. Firefox should support gestures natively. Mouse gestures is the only legacy addon I really can't live without so I have turned off automatic updates. Really, it doesn't matt
