You linked to https://lemmy.zip/c/BoardGameArena, which is usually fine, but sometimes causes issues for users who are not on lemmy.zip.
It takes (most) people away from their home instance, to another one where they are no longer logged in and their preferences are not applied. Better to use a ! link.
What shooters had you been playing that required using buttons to turn? I’m pretty sure Half-Life didn’t invent mouse look.
It makes perfect sense to me that people who suffer abuse or neglect when young would develop a deep-rooted drive to look out for themselves first and foremost. It would be (literally, socially, and emotionally) a survival mechanism. Unfortunately, it would leave less room than others might have for empathy.
I don’t imagine this would ever go away completely, even if their situation improved by adulthood.
Won’t that make the front fall off?
It’s nice to see that their Debian edition isn’t being neglected. If I were to use Linux Mint, that’s the edition I would want.
I did call out data density in my first comment. Did you somehow miss that? Not all things that need storing are megabytes in size, though.
Why would you assume that paper means punch cards? Printers can store far more than a machine word on a page, are relatively cheap, and are widely available. For some things, this can be superior to both magnetic and flash storage.
IMHO, two hours is not nearly enough to get a feel for a game. At least, not for the sorts of games I tend to play. I spend longer than that just working through initial technical issues, configuration, and (in games that have one) the character generator.
I have to conclude that Steam’s return window is either intended to be just enough to see if you can get it running, or as much as Valve could talk publishers into tolerating.
IIRC, the creator’s medical bills were the motivator for bringing it to Steam with graphics upgrades. I’m glad to see he’s finding success here.
I was excluding media that are impractical for most people to use.
Strictly speaking, I think paper beats magnetic tape on longevity.
Unfortunately, it loses on data density.
I haven’t tried it yet, but I expect it will be nice to be able to compare our own hardware performance to the benchmarks we see in reviews, and do apples-to-apples comparisons with the results reported by Windows users when performance tuning.
Which ants? What important work do they do?
Where I come from, Argentine ants are dominant, and considered pests. Apparently, there is also some evidence of them being problematic for pollinators.
I played it last year. It was fun for a few days, but once I got the hang of the water physics and had a well-functioning city, it became mostly repetitive.
I wonder if newer updates bring more to the mid/late game. I’ll have to check it out again at some point.
These are the three that the article refers to:
I was referring to the image-only link and the embed that you suggested. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.
Neither of those is a good approach, because part of every xkcd comic is the hover text.
The environment looks real enough. The “cats” look like weird demon creatures created by some entity that only knows dogs.
I often sit at a desk all day and all evening. I find that these things help:
Congratulations!
For those who didn’t notice that OP posted 2 links:
(They look like a single link because there’s nothing separating them.)

I don’t think this is true, at least not for the original PC Doom, but I don’t have a record of it handy. shrug
