The video looked very like Serious Engine, so I downloaded it to see. Nope. Its Unity.
Comically long intro of a narrator and text. Ok, I'm a homeless traitor in Nazi Germany, trying to get my dog back.
Got out of the truck. Oh good. A box jumping obstacle. Hit the space bar. No jump. So I keep trying. And it knocks this box back into the corner, where I can see a mug of something floating there. Health or powerup or some shit. But I can't get to it because I just kicked this box in the way.
I finally checked the controls. There's no jump, just kick. You don't jump in this game. Like old DOOM.
I gave up. I'm in this far. I'll try it again later.
I never owned a Commodore. I didn't know they had cartridge games. At the time, my family owned a TI 99/4a. I think it did have a cartridge, but the BASIC one just stayed in there. We didn't have anything else. I hand-typed in games from Compute! magazine and saved em on tape drive. Lotsa debug involved.
Well, that's interesting. I guess linux really is going more mainstream, if that's the more common user experience. The users I know are mostly professionals that enjoy tinkering under the hood. Thanks for your perspective, stranger.
Ok, I can see that in SteamOS, users that don't directly interact with a package manager. That seems likely.
I would say that 'most users' of just about any linux distro know all about command line package managers.So, my 'most users' and your 'most users' don't seem to be the same people.
I'm downloading it. Ya. Takes a minute.I'm gonna give this thing a whirl. I know, its gonna just be another linux distro.But it sure would be neat if I actually liked it ...
Hey. I just don't know much about the following. This is from the setup instructions.What ROMs are we talking about here? Why does this matter?
Instructions on how to obtain and install legal Commodore ROMS can be found in the Commodore OS Settings manager by navigating menu:
System --> Commodore OS --> Commodore OS Settings
and selecting "Emulation Settings" and then "Cloanto Commodore ROM Setup" option.NOTE: Whilst Commodore's 8-bit ROMs cannot be included Cloanto does provide their C64 Forever package for free online and Commodore OS is capable of downloading and extracting the 8-bit system ROM files and games via the above process. It is suggested you perform this step even if you retain the valid ROMs yourself.
That makes perfect sense until I contrast it with the fact that I've never had any sort of issue with yum's performance. I do this crap for a living. I might carry out the same install or patching on several servers. As long as it executes in a consistent and reliable way, performance is really a secondary consideration.
I still play this game.The only one you need installed now is Classics: Revolution. That's all of 1 and 2 wrapped up.
But ... there's no update pending. Last one was 2020.I guess I'll download the monolithic SS2 and see what's new.
... EDIT ... Oh ya, my bad, the weird numbering. First Encounter, Second Edition ... That's all SS1. This article is about the not-so-great followup.
Perhaps that is broadly true. Mostly my oven gets used for baking biscuits. Sometimes I'll make a lasagna or very rarely a casserole. The only actual dietary sin that takes place there is the occasional pizza. I'm not perfect, I do eat pizza.There are no taquitos or chicken tenders or wtf-ever frozen garbage in my home or my oven.
