Yup, I was friends with his older brother. Both of them were/are a bit weird, didn’t think much of either of them academically until grade 12. Then their math & and computer genious came out. Had a few university classes with them, the older brother has better social skills, but Lee is more creative IMHO.

Upshot is I played Capsized in 2009, so that was neat.

I need to try out Xonotic. I went to high school with the guy who started the original game, who runs Alientrap now.

I’ve been meaning to try the original Crysis now that I have a computer that can play it. I started it, but then life happened.

DOOM Eternal didn’t do it for me. It’s Doom-ish, but not enough. It’d be a better game if it wasn’t set in the Doom universe trying to add a bunch of non-Doom elements to the game. Doom (2016) did that too, but not to the same extent. I like the older Dooms mostly for their simplicity: get gun, see bad guy, shoot gun. Pick up health. Repeat. Doom Eternal did that, but added a story, weapon mods, and skills. Fine mechanics, but not Doom enough for me.

Well, I missed an entire paragraph, indeed it is. I read about SteamOS the first time, though.🤷

Also true, but Android is also rarely if ever considered “desktop”. ChromeOS could be, since it shares a market with Mac and Windows laptops, which also run “desktop” operating systems.

So, does this include ChromeOS? I’m not sure if I’d qualify it as either a desktop OS or “Linux” (in the traditional sense). But since there’s enough room for debate there it’s worth asking.

The only right way to slam down the phone requires an old phone with actual bells for the ringer. You know you did it right then the bells ding at you.

I set up FreeIPA at home. Similar in principle to AD.

They both made great games. I get the rivalry, but hatred? Both great artists in their own right, and can be appreciated for their own reasons.

Heretic, Hexen, and Hexen II.
