What is the first graphics card you got?
  • I forgot the first one, but I remember I upgraded it to an ATi Rage Pro so I could play Baldur's Gate, which needed 8 megabytes of video ram. Later I paired it with a Voodoo 2. I think it was the Diamond Monster one. And that one got replaced with a Matrox G200, which got replaced with Kyro II. I picked some odd cards back then.

  • A useful map for travelers
  • All of them

  • Stand in the rule together
  • His color cycled animated pixel art is fantastic. I had his "living worlds" app as wallpaper on my phone for quite a while.

  • Youtube has fully blocked Invidious
  • For Android users, I highly recommend NewPipe as a YouTube client

  • How is Open Source project work paid?
  • I think consulting would be a better word

  • Saudi man earns world record for 444 game consoles hooked to one TV
  • Does he have 444 controllers hooked up well? Not really that useful if not.

  • Windows 3.1 saves the day during CrowdStrike outage — Southwest Airlines scrapes by with archaic OS
  • Windows 3.1 doesn't even come with a TCP/IP stack. It's actually pretty safe.

  • Double Dragon 3D revival announced for PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Xbox One, and PC
  • I guess it was early? I was released before most classics in the genre.

  • Your first anime show/film
  • I remember watching Totoro as a child not knowing it was an anime. Later I watched The Guyver (1989 OVA) on VHS at my cousin's. Evangelion and Lodoss War were the first fansubs I watched knowing they were Japanese.

  • How do you manage your encryption keys?
  • Yes, you should have backups. You can use something like KeePass to store them I suppose. I personally just use the file system on a secure server.

  • Games where an emulated console version outclasses the PC port?
  • Looks like there is a recent port on steam.

  • Why in 2024 do people still believe in religion? (serious)
  • Search Engine is a great podcast and that was a great interview. For me it didn't really answer the question though, but I guess the answer is very individual.

    As we used to say.

  • Arrowhead initially planned to make Helldivers 2 in 3 years—instead it took 7 years, 11 months, and 26 days
  • Likely a lot of time was spent iterating and experimenting with different ideas, testing out concepts, tweaking, etc. Haven't played the game but I do work as a software developer.

  • Linux and DOOM (1993)
  • Carmack actually developed Doom on NeXTSTEP, not Linux. The windows and DOS ports were not released as open source, due to copyright issues concerning the sound library. So they released the source of the Linux port instead. I don't think it made much of a difference in practice since it was a fairly popular game even before that.

  • Politiet kunne ikke vente på domstolene i Bandidos' forbudssag
  • Sådan synes jeg egentligt altid det har været. Jeg har altid undret mig over, at de åbenbart ikke har en simpel stavekontrol...

  • Help needed choosing a good pair of noise cancelling earphones
  • I'm still on the Sony XM4. No reason to upgrade really.

  • Search Engine had been my favorite podcast in the last year or so.
