Das liest sich wirklich übel.

Aber da wird nichts passieren. Wieder einmal.

Mechanize suggested the nerdvpn link, it works!

Otherwise, on PC or mobile Reddit is blocked for me like forever. I never turn off the VPN, so I did not use Reddit in a long time (and usually nothing of value was lost).

The nervpn one works!! Thank you, I bookmarked it!

If you are using a VPN and don’t have a reddit account then the reddit link is equally worthless. It’s blocked.

“Duh! It’s just an algorithm! We won’t read anything! Promise mmmmkay??” Mark Zuckerberg probably.

“Bundeswirtschaftsministerin Reiche sprach sich gegen die Einführung eines Tempolimits und autofreier Sonntage aus. Nach Ansicht der Ministerin hätte es keinen nennenswerten Effekt, wenn Autofahrer langsamer über die Autobahn führen oder den Wagen an einem Tag in der Woche stehen lassen müssten.”

Kann verstehen wenn bei so einer Aussage einige Mitarbeiter mit dem Kopf schütteln.

Oh, I was talking about the gog installers. It’s advised by gog to keep the installers after you bought the game.

I guess you meant illegal copies, and you are right, in that case the police would definitely knock on a Sunday morning.

And how would they do that? Knock on my door on a Sunday morning, enter and trash my external hard drives where I keep the backup installers?

The man from Earth. 90 percent take place in a cabin with people talking. Very atmospheric, interesting story that unfolds.

Das wird die Umfragewerte bestimmt verbessern. Denkt Fritz wahrscheinlich.

Have fun! I sure did back then, and when I replayed the remaster.

One tip: Somewhere in the sewers (I don’t remember which level) is a field where you encounter lots of enemies (20 or more?). They respawn when you change levels. I used that particular spot to farm, saves you at least some time! And don’t forget the fire horn, it’s extremely powerful and can be bought usually at Garth’s!

Good memories! Thank your for this post! It put a smile on my face!

I played it on the Amstrad CPC, from cassette/tape. Saving/loading from tape took ages, so did the loading for dungeons. I have no idea how I managed to beat this game.

Do yourself a favour. Get the remastered version from gog. It’s the same game, with auto mapping and the ability to save and load whenever you want.

Or… draw maps and go to the adventurer’s guild every few minutes to save your game. And then grind, grind, grind, and grind :) Don’t bother reviving party members in the beginning, it’s too expensive!

My first game I played with the Diamond Monster 3D (Voodoo 1 4 MB) was Tomb Raider 1. I could not believe what was happening. It looked soooo much better, and the frame rates were so fucking high! That really was voodoo magic. I can’t remember something other that magical in all my gaming history.

I’ve got to give credit to the gaming industry, it never fails to surprise me. They are extremely creative in finding new ways to press money out of gamers. I wish they would put that creative energy into their games, but well…

On the other hand, the gamers are not better. They pay for a weapon skin, a loot box, a mini DLC mission, they preorder, they accept always on line, they accept game clients required running in the background, buggy games on release date, now paid mods, kernel level anti cheat. Did I forget something?

Who can blame good old Todd and all the other guys?

My FF works. Maybe you have to adjust your script blocker for gog?

Forgive me in saying this, but this whole discussion has gotten way out of proportion. It’s been a while since I’ve seen that many death threats left and right. But that’s the internet nowadays. Tiresome.

The Wrecking Crew. What a waste of time.

The humour was mostly meh. Some ideas went just nowhere (like one guy is shown to hold his breath incredibly long, does not get to use it once), and the collateral damage was just too much for this kind of movie. How am I supposed to like the main characters when they make jokes or cry over the dead mother when they just watched dozens of cars get blown up/wrecked on the highway (for sure there had be at least one family driving one). The SFX looked ten years old. I had more fun writing this comment than watching the movie.

Leider ja. Ich finde die Szenarien von Neuromancer oder Cyberpunk 2077 gar nicht mehr so unrealistisch.

I did not mean that crap of course!

But if technology existed that would enhance graphics of old games to look like stuff from 2016 or so that would be pretty neat. I would definitely use it!

But that won’t happen I guess…

If this could be applied to games like Return to Castle Wolfenstein, System Shock 2, Soldier of Fortune, Medal of Honour, Tron 2.0, Call of Duty and all other titles from that era, I would not mind in the slightest.

A man can dream…
