This seems to be jumping to conclusions.

I only played the original. I didn’t really like it at first, thinking that the augmentation and mod stuff was needlessly complicated for this kind of game. Also the graphics weren’t all that great in comparison to other games using the same engine. There were a lot of attention to details in comparison to other games so I gave it a chance. The turning point came after completing the first part of the story and getting hooked. The story really carried the game and touches on some interesting topics.

A game with a similar feel would be Omikron: The Nomad Soul. It was released the year before Deus Ex, has worse controls and graphics, but the story and setting is somewhat similar.

That’s not exactly the take I was expecting, but alright.

The person who posted it is apparently addicted to abusing other peoples labour. Now, as a labour dealer, I can’t provide them with one guy with 10 years experience. That’s too high of a dose.

However, if they’re willing, I can probably find 10 guys with 1 year experience, but the price is going to be 10 times the going rate, because that’s how much it’ll cost me to hire and manage those 10 people off fiver.

Am I cutting the shit? Go find another dealer then. It’s not my “need”. That’s a “your problem”.

This might be pedantic, but the use of the word “need” pisses me off more than the unrealistic requirement. It’s so needy.

I doubt any game logic is going to be that fast ever. It might look better, but it won’t make much difference in how players or even the game itself can react to events in the game. Perhaps it’ll make VR more comfortable or something.

It would make sense for games abandoned by publishers to be given away including a donation button for the original developer and hosting service.

It’s amazing that it has existed for so long and investors still don’t understand why the users go there in the first place.

His face tells me everything I need to know.

Sudden success has killed lots of businesses.

I enjoy popcorn with this shit show.

The whole thing was poorly managed and there’s nothing they can say now to tell a different tale. I hope the people who put any effort into it gets paid somehow.

Hmm. Even Wolfestein 3D was more of a Gen-X than Boomer generational thing, so setting the bar at Doom seems a little misunderstood of who actually played those games.

Keep the bloatware off my keyboard thanks. Seems like a design failure to begin with.

I loved Half-Life and played through it several times to get all the details. However, watching the 25 year anniversary about it is about as boring as watching the anecdotes from some old rock band describing their amplifier setup in the 1970s. I’s interesting in some technical historical way, but it also seems soo out of touch with what’s happening today. These guys aren’t going to put out a new banger.

Everything he has ever touched turned to shit. How people keep hiring him is beyond me.

Some CEOs are hired for that specific purpose. If a board wants to do greedy shit they hire a fall guy. There are plenty of jobs for that guy.

Poppy Playtime (2021) : controls the extendable arms separately and solve puzzles that way

Older games:

Psychonauts (2005) : some of the scenes toy around with gravity

Half-life 2 (2004): the gravity-gun was groundbreaking.

Serious Sam (2001) : just a shooter, but the quantity of enemies is so huge that you need to figure out different strategies. It’s sort of like geometry wars only in first person view and with gory graphics.

Glover (1998) : it’s a 3d platformer, where you control a glove, which needs to get ball through the level.

Head over heels (1987) : control the 2 characters Head or Heels separately or together to solve puzzles.( It was recently released on steam. I haven’t tried the remake, but the original can also be found on emulators or online)

If the technology actually existed to replace human workers, the human workers could chip in and buy the means of production and replace the company owners as well.

Kind of looks like BF3.

At the time, open office space was supposed to create a better environment for collaboration and as alternative to the dreaded cubicles.

This was also in time where people would send physical paperwork to each other through an internal mail system from one cubicle to another. Like there’d be an assistant to carry paper around.

It also made the office sizes more flexible.

It might work for people who desperately need to bounce their creative ideas off each other, but for anyone else it just plain sucks.

It’s interesting times. The difference between traditional management and progressive leadership will determine which companies get to exist.

A manager waiting for data to show what path to take will always be behind the leaders when times are changing.

Just use a Chromecast. You can use it from every device (phone/laptop/tablets) on the same WiFi.
