Which is funny because the Neo-Geo was a very much sprite-based 2D machine. What did they even mean by “4D”?

I said what I said because it’s relevant today. I literally had this issue last month with modern hardware, when I couldn’t get HDR working properly in KDE 6 Plasma (colors are washed-out and have no contrast when HDR is on). And features from my GPU are completely missing, like SDR-to-HDR conversion, AI upscaling, and the entire 3D Settings Page (the one where you can change settings not available in-game). When I ask people for help with restoring these features/settings, no one has any idea what I’m talking about. So I gave up and went back to Windows.

I don’t care so long as food and shelter are provided, and I don’t have to pay for it.

I never understood why people are afraid of the dentist. Personally I like the feeling of a dentist prodding around in my mouth. Feels like getting a tooth massage, and then when you’re done, they give you a large bottle of opiates for only $10! Never understood why they do that, but hey, cheap drugs.

I wish I could afford dental care so I could go more often.

I mean sometimes this happens to me too if I apply too much pressure to my perineum (such as when sitting on a hard surface). It gives me the sensation of needing to pee without actually needing to pee. So it can happen even if your prostate is normal.

There’s also the fact that if you have modern hardware, you’ll find that half the features that you paid for don’t work properly in Linux (or at all). It’s a great OS to keep an old PC alive, though.

Because it adds nothing to the discussion

Faze*

Mario Kart 64 and F-Zero X are far superior to both. Never got into the originals. The flatness of Mode 7 was a major turnoff for me as a kid in the 90s. So I waited for 3D on consoles to get better and look more like the 3D I’ve seen on PCs and in the arcade, before I begged my parents for a console for Christmas.

Disagree. It didn’t have rumble. That reason alone is why I always stuck with the wired controllers.

Assuming this is government funded, I’d be more than happy to spend a couple of years at such a place. I need to take a break from reality and not worry about bills for a bit.

Not if I can help it.

I’ve managed to filter out most of the cars hate from my feed. You can take my 350Z from my cold, dead hands, once I inevitably get into a fatal accident on the highway.

Because I’ve never used such a website before and thought I’d give it a try.

Finally got around to signing up to Bluesky after avoiding Twitter for almost two decades and, well…I don’t get it. The entire thing is basically just Shower Thoughts, Shower Thoughts featuring politics, and the occasional picture of a cat… That’s it? Really? It’s like a more boring version of Lemmy and Imgur. Please explain what I’m missing here cause I lost all interest after about 30 minutes on the site.

Fallout: London is pretty decent. It may be a mod, but it plays like a proper Fallout title. Enjoy that in the meantime. It won’t completely fill the void but it’s better than nothing.

Prove it.

APUs obviously weren’t a thing yet, and it was common knowledge back then that contemporary iGPUs were complete and utter trash. I mean they were so weak that you couldn’t even play HD video or even enable some of XP’s very basic graphical effects with most integrated graphics.

Everyone knew that you needed a dedicated graphics card back then, so you can and should in fact put some blame on the consumer for being dumb enough to buy a PC without one, regardless of what the sticker said. I mean I was a teenager back then and even still I knew better. The blame goes both ways.

TweakUAC solved that problem.

What annoys you about the ladders? To this day, I find them among the easiest video game ladders to use. No stupid button prompts; just hold W. To go down one, just face it backwards and press S. Simple, genius design.

Meh, you just needed a discrete GPU, and not even a good one either. Just a basic, bare-bones card with 128MB of VRAM and pixel shader 2.0 support would have sufficed, but sadly most users didn’t even have that back in 06-08.

It was mostly the consumer’s fault for buying cheap garbage laptops with trash-tier iGPUs in them, and the manufacturer’s for slapping a “compatible with Vista” sticker on them and pushing those shitboxes on consumers. If you had a half-decent $700-800 PC then, Vista ran like a dream.
