Hey, hey

Did you know

Multiple things can in fact, be bad

There's no room for dissent against the slop bot for some reason

The great thing about retro computing is we want to see what people come up with. Not slop bots!

I suggest instead you go read up on why people dislike them and gain a more well-rounded and nuanced understanding of the topic

Many people refuse to use LLM's for various reasons that I don't need to rehash here

Half-Life (and the later Source engine games such as Half-Life 2 and Portal) were ported without LLM assistance however

(Source: I am in the Discord where the developer has been working and diligently posting updates on the project)

What if we make a better world for everyone, instead of a planetary crab bucket?

To imply that every single person there was evil to their core simply by association is utterly ridiculous.

I doubt the guy who created Minesweeper was dreaming of world domination while working there

...Normie?

What does that even mean in this context

The reality is none of the companies want to do these things. Every step in this process locks out some subset of customers. And that's not including the ones who meet the technical requirements but are turned off enough by the decision to just avoid the games anyway

They're an unfortunate response to how utterly profitable and expansive cheating in online games has become. They cost the companies precious development time that could be spent making the game better to instead make it just vaguely "playable" for normal people

I talk about computer history. Is my knowledge not valid just because I'm "on youtube" ?

I only complain because I put in over $1,000 USD as part of a crowd funding campaign to do just that

...13 years ago :(

The Mental Omega folks are also known to have a complete archive of everything which is why their "mod" is such a technical achievement above what the game engine can normally do

I actually bought one a year or so ago from your eBay store though, looking at my records! Have recommended to retro friends in the Seattle area, too

There's faster single thread accelerator cards that were made for a while by a guy on the 68kMLA forums, but that was many years ago. I think Action Retro on YouTube has one that broke 2Ghz

I need to get a GPU for my MDD G4 and then I'd love to try them out on real metal

Do you really think somebody would do that? Just go write apps for the love of programming and not to make money?
