    Decades later, John Romero looks back at the birth of the first-person shooter

  • I think Selaco beat him to the punch there. I am by no means a game designer but it's seriously impressive what they did with the gzdoom engine. I have a hard time imaging anything that could top it within the same engine.

  • Putin threatens to arm North Korea, warns U.S. ally South against 'big mistake'

    Jump

  • The difference between what Russian tech is "supposed" to do and what it actually does has been, historically speaking, significant. I'll believe this if they manage to credibly get one single munition past a Patriot emplacement or past Aegis. Until then it's all talk.

  • The United States will need 7 million migrants to cover old age support programs for baby boomers

    Jump

  • Funny for us, maybe. I wouldn't want to inflict them on the poor immigrant workers though. There's only so much hate crime a 90 year old man can get up to but by gee by golly he's gonna put the effort into it.

  • The entire GOP would be on site the next day after his interment to spring him loose and take turns sucking him off.

  • They will trigger a laser alarm though. Depends what type of fire alarm you have. I have a laser alarm in my house and if I open the bathroom door too quick after a shower the steam can even trigger it.

  • Stonehenge not visibly damaged by protest paint. It's clean and ready to rock the solstice

  • MLK advanced civil rights by being a nuisance. Gandhi pushed Britain out of India by being a nuisance. I'm sure there are others.

    It is in the nature of protest to be disruptive. It has to be. If it isn't, it gets ignored. Climate change is getting ignored. What would you rather they do, go deface an oil refinery? That'll just get them arrested and the news suppressed. Big public displays that can't be hushed are the only way to make sure your message reaches the world. These folks have been considerate enough to make sure that message didn't permanently damage its canvas. I don't know what more you could ask from them.

  • Ah yes, it's holding back the massive sweeping wave of change currently going on to fix climate change.

    No, don't be a dumbass. It's raising awareness, because it's obvious nobody is giving a shit about this really fucking massive problem that is directly on our doorstep. Painting Stonehenge isn't going to accomplish anything except be a nuisance, but being a nuisance is how you compel people to get shit done non-violently. MLK and his sit-ins pushed civil rights forward by being a nuisance. Gandhi pushed Britain out of India by being a nuisance. If you accept the status quo, the status quo will remain. You have to get out and make noise and attract a following if you want the folks in charge to pay attention to your existence.

    Trust me, you want them painting on Stonehenge for attention. This is the non-violent option. When this is ignored long enough, the non-violent option will be shelved and that's when people will suddenly start paying attention.

  • Spectrum Call Center in Charlotte, NC Reportedly Provided Fried Chicken and Watermelon to Employees for Juneteenth

  • Yeah I can't blame the Polish for loving perogies for the same way I can't blame Mexicans for loving tamales. They're just good-ass food.

  • Why the FDA will have a hard time properly regulating cannabis

    Jump

  • If we had an appropriate scheduling for it so that it could be properly researched and manufactured we could just treat it like every other plant-based medicine we have (of which there are VERY many) - isolate and extract the compounds you're interested in and recombine them in a pill or gel or aerosol form. Making supplements or tinctures or whatever, from cannabis, wouldn't be any more difficult than creating aspirin from willow. The only reason it's difficult is because it's so highly scheduled that nobody is allowed to work with it.

  • [IGN] Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC Review (10/10)

    Jump

  • Impressive. Last game I had hours like that in was Dark Souls 2 round 10 years ago. I am shortly going to break my first 200 hours for Elden Ring though, the DLC will send me over the breakpoint pretty comfortably. Then I get to start my second character for real, now that I have all the content for them to explore.

  • Man, the ballots aren't even printed yet and they're already planning their "Nuh-uh!!!!!!!" for when they lose. Truly, this is the strength and fortitude you expect out of your fascist leaders. Very strong and confident.

  • Yeah I was really bummed to find this out along with all the nazi signposting that slipped past me because I couldn't hear the dog whistle, he might be the only creator I've ever actually gone and unsubscribed to. Shame, too, because some of those videos were actually really good, credit where it's due (even if that credit isn't due to IH himself).

  • Chucks and Vans are definitely not good shoes. They are stylish shoes, but the shoe itself is a piece of cloth over a piece of cardboard. No wonder you have bad feet, bro, you've been walking on trash.

    I bought a pair of steel toe boots with good insole and arch support for about $85 three years ago and those things are still going strong. Comfy and durable. If you've got big feet or want nicer boots than me, that can range up to about $150, anything higher than that is designer bullshit. Don't fall for a brand name.

  • Right, so Finland, France, Germany, Norway, New Zealand, Japan, Australia, Korea, Spain, the Netherlands, and Italy all don't exist. Got it.

  • Yes, because naturally no other country in the world enjoys a similar level of prosperity without creating an underclass that they abuse for their profit.

    We don't need to print more money, we have more than enough money. We just need to recirculate the money we do have. There is plenty of money in the USA for most citizens to live a comfortable life without exploitation, but 80% of that money is buried in the pockets of corporations and 15% of the remaining 20% is buried in the pockets of billionaires.

  • Blame the fact that it's so difficult to immigrate legally yet an overwhelming number of businesses rely on cheap immigrant labor. This is a feature, not a bug, because they can pay the illegal immigrants less and abuse them without fear of reprisal because if the employer gets any attitude about it, they call ICE and have the worker deported and replaced with the next struggling desperate immigrant.

    There is no illegal worker in the US that would rather be an illegal worker than a legal carded one. The system is stacked against them because it saves businesses money to do so.
