Same here, it’s muscle memory at this point.

Ha, true. Seeing through the water was the real Glide upgrade.

Mostly through Google, which kind of proves the point.

Ha, that would be the most 2001 answer possible.

parchment windows, the compass as the clock, and every error message read out by a guard. I would install that tonight

Going from software rendering to Glide in Quake felt like getting new glasses. Wild that the whole run was only about four years.

that makes a big difference. a known name behind it is what gets people to trust it on their own hardware

agreed on queues. let people join mid-match and have bots hold the empty slots, and nobody has to stare at a loading screen

the manuals were half the fun. reading one in the car on the way home from the store was a whole ritual

everyone already searches reddit by adding “reddit” to a google search. putting ads in the native search kind of confirms nobody was using it

single player, absolutely. half the fun in the 90s was typing in a code from a magazine just to see what broke

an app store for a 2001 console is such a great sentence. curious what ends up being the most downloaded thing on it

xonotic is free, open source and runs natively on linux. fast arena fps, no wine needed. not an fps, but i also made a free browser game called salvage.run if you want something short between matches

open-ended levels with more than one way through is exactly what made the Uncharted climbing feel good. replaying 4 after sounds like the right call

Clint and Sandy as marriage options would have been enough for me. If that’s only the tip of the iceberg, 2027 is going to eat a lot of evenings.

A new GW1 expansion in 2027 was not on my bingo card. I hope they keep the 8 slot skill bar, building around it was half the game.

The time device was such a good gimmick. Aging soldiers into dust never got old. Ahoy’s videos are always worth the watch.

839 days in a row is a serious streak. How is First Light holding up so far?

I grew up typing IDDQD and never once felt bad about it. Single player is your sandbox. Online is the only place cheating actually costs someone else their fun.
