the reremaster on steam with full 3d and free motion is nice too, sticks to the old puzzles, and has a little epilogue that ties into later games as an easter egg

myst, and the stoneship age in particular, were basically background music to my computer usage in the 90s and nicely relaxing that reminded me of a funny tech thing: i didnt realize id gotten into a very early phase of testing for uru (myst online) because they had sent the acceptance email in-character and it looked like academic spam. it probably was super clever, arg style too, and fun for fans really tied into the development but it missed me entirely because i was too busy to follow them at the time

Jim Silly-Balls posted:or you can just lean into it like pornbub? I don’t think they’re hurting jon ronson did a thing for audible called the butterfly effect that goes into that and its basically they did a youtube but also cornered distribution by buying the smaller streaming sites and ignored copyright claims until the porn industry caved enough to have to need to partner with them, then started making their own stuff to muscle them out further facebook is sort of doing the same with social platforms now

mystes posted:This would be more appealing if apple didn't go out of their way to prevent you from running real software. As dumb as chromebooks are, at least they let you run normal linux in a vm, apparently with decent integration into the desktop and everything, now. or just directly run linux.

Tankakern posted:last time i tried gallium os, it sucked big time. didn't even support hidpi. have they fixed that yet? is it still based on xfce? it's still xfce with i think alternatives oob now, but if the chromebook has decent ram definitely go elsewhere support for firmware and other models is way better now, and the hardware is beefier even for cheap models, so there should be better os and hardware options available

the securerom or whatever on morrowind required cd access to play and was so bad that cracking a legit copy added at least 5 fps to the game on a good system which was substantial due to the engine culling issue. i think mounting an iso was almost as good but the added hdd access still affected the game pretty sure the steam version for a time used a nocd cracked exe until someone spotted it and bethesda fixed it properly KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:bleem! lol

Wild EEPROM posted:googles search results are so bad that instead of making you wade through 200 bad results they put the bad result as an answer right up front. I saw a good example of this recently i was looking to see if lockpickinglawyer had picked a lock i have and google suggested a set of questions, one being 'who is the lockpickinglawyer?' the excerpt was from a wikipedia page for a different lock picker with a pile of legal and personal woes. the only connection was they both picked locks google has figured out how to auto-defame people and hope you'll fact-check them oh, and 'who is lockpickinglawyer' results in useful results and a wikia full of sport lock pickers with useful information, so google is tripping on "the" and how that affects the proper noun
