Unreal only had a single Automag though, so either you are thinking of Unreal Tournament or you played on a modded server. Some servers did have dual automags (I’ve still got a mod and mutator lying around to get them in single player as well) and dual Automags (Enforcer in Unreal Tournament) did indeed dish out major punishment.
Yes, how could I forget Deus Ex. Incredible story and again such a wonderful soundtrack, not surprising as it was also composed Alexander Brandon, Michiel van den Bos, and Dan Gardopee.
As for Half-Life, that game was also something else. But part of me resents that game a bit because it overshadowed Unreal. 😋
The original Unreal. For me it was a perfect combination of beautiful graphics (back in the days of course) and a soundtrack which complemented and elevated the atmosphere of that game. And the gunplay was nice, with a collection of somewhat unconventional weapons. A relic from a time where developers were not afraid to experiment a bit.
Time to install FreeSpace Open again. 😄 For those who have managed to miss that project: it’s a completely rebuilt engine for FS2. Together with the MediaVPs from The FreeSpace Upgrade Project it makes the game look pretty modern again. Take a look at https://wiki.hard-light.net/index.php/Getting_started if you need instructions.
I believe even there is even a mod available which allows playing the first FreeSpace in FSO.
Nah. But I would recommend not trying to go for orange next you you try the vending machine. You might end up with lemon-lime.
Also keep in mind that the maximum number of monitors depend on the resolution(s) you want to use. Don’t expect to be able to have a monitor @ 4K in your chain for example. https://www.displayport.org/cables/driving-multiple-displays-from-a-single-displayport-output/ has a table with some examples of resolutions and the corresponding maximum number of monitors you can add to your chain.
My surname contains spaces. I’ve yet to encounter an airline that is able to handle that properly, so my last name on a ticket never matches my passport name. Either parts are missing, or they just print it as a single word. Never given me issues, so I doubt a slightly truncated middle name is going to pose a problem.
Well, ok, wouldn’t be opposed to that, but there’s already been a number of UT followups whereas Unreal never got a sequel worth mentioning. Unreal 2 wasn’t a terrible game by itself, it just wasn’t very… unreal.
Just give me an Unreal Engine 5 remake of the original Unreal (no, not Tournament) and I’ll be a happy man.
WhatsApp. I’d prefer something not owned by Meta, but tech supporting my parents already costs me enough time without adding extra apps to the mix and all their other contacts use it.
Isn’t dendrite formation and the shorts they can cause a much bigger concern when dealing with old batteries that are being charged 24/7? Asking a genuine question here, so please don’t shoot me if I’m wrong. 🙂 I’d love to hear more about the most common failure modes and causes for li-po/ion batteries.
Or Wing Commander III, with its ludicrous 4 CD’s. 😱
Can’t answer that I’m afraid. My current provider fully supports IPv6 (and assigns a /48 😁 ), as did their predecessor, so my network has been dual-stack for years.
I can totally believe it. Here in the Netherlands we still have providers that haven’t implemented IPv6. We’ve had one (Delta) finally starting their IPv6 rollout to fiber customers this year, not sure if they already finished it. Some providers are just slow AF unfortunately.
I’ve got regular silverfish in the bathroom, but gray silverfish (or paperfish as they are called here) in the rest of the house. Those things are larger and much more destructive, some found their way in my collection of sheet music… They literally eat their way through paper and even damage untreated wood, nasty critters. And worse, where ventilating your house helps against silverfish, it only seems to create even better living conditions for those buggers. I’d trade for house centipedes happily.
Dat is altijd nog ‘koekwaus’ voor jou. 😋
The opposite is true for the tiny arms. The arms are not tiny because it’s beneficial for them to be that small. They’re tiny because there’s no reason for them to be big.
It is theorised that it might actually have been an advantage to have smaller arms, so there may have been some selective pressure:
“What if several adult tyrannosaurs converged on a carcass? You have a bunch of massive skulls, with incredibly powerful jaws and teeth, ripping and chomping down flesh and bone right next to you. What if your friend there thinks you’re getting a little too close? They might warn you away by severing your arm”

In case of larger species with a tremendous bite force getting bitten in the arm would probably result in very bad, and likely very short, times.
Why YSK: there are times when you need to not be stinky. A multi-day outing with friends staying in one house comes to mind.
Sorry, I have a hard time coming up with reasons why you should not be stinky in such a case. Do you have a toilet in the middle of the living room on outings? Otherwise who cares? Shit stinks, perfectly normal, absolutely no reason to hide that. People should stop being ashamed for bodily functions instead of medicating them away.
Oof, it’s been a while, and it involved a lot of late-night debugging and searching, so memory is a bit fuzzy.
I believe I ended up buying a RISC OS license and ran the OS in RPCEmu. But tracking down a working RISC OS copy of SF3000 took a lot of digging through internet archives. Honestly I don’t even remember in which virtual gutter I ended up finding it. 😅
Had a lot of issues getting the CD image to load, failing installations and the entire emulated machine hanging itself. Eventually I managed to fix all issues, but the moment I got it working I lost the motivation to play it. Which sums up my ADD (or ADHD-I if you feel fancy) quite nicely. 😞
Absolutely not, as that would mean my company violates my country’s privacy laws. In my field of work there is no valid reason for wearing a body cam.
