Yeah, there is a reason I didn’t know the word “aspic”. What an abomination.

Welcome to the wonderful world of reverse proxies!

Opera is such a trailblazer on that front! Clearly I’m not the target audience but I really appreciate them acknowledging all the crazy people put there with hundreds of tabs.

Good news, you can start listening to Kneecap now!

The point of those stickers isn’t to ask for kindness. It’s to let you know shit can happen on board and you may start driving like an idiot. Better stay a bit back so you have time to react.

Leather! It’s what’s for dinner.
It did take me a while to spot it.

The pure luxury!

The Authority actually tackled that.

I mean, this is a classic situation in shows where undercover cops must take drugs to prove themselves so I think it’s more likely that this is what the joke is about.

我看不懂了 你想写什么？

Do we still need to click to pick shit up on the ground? Because that drove me insane to the point I didn’t play BL3, pretty much.

Oh dear, yes, SVGA! I had forgotten about that one, hahaha!

+1 for Atuin. I constantly use it on my machine and SSH-ing on remote machines who don’t have it is an absolute pain.

I’m gonna have to save this thread and check some of those!

Maybe you need to have some sort of objective before you get started, otherwise yeah, you don’t have much to do in the console :) In my case I only use linux for work, so I’m ssh-ing away and running commands to compile this, apply that, show me the logs for this, grep that, etc.

That’s just a layout. Let’s not confuse presentation with content.

That would work better if Latin wasn’t there before English. Mars Victor!

Oh man! This is some brilliant trickery, haha! I love those. Back in the day, though, there was scant few sources of info so most people would rediscover this sort of stuff on their own, unless part of some group like the demo scene. Wish I could have read this sort of article back then…

VGA let’s you pick a palette of 256 colours out of 262144, which is because the RGB components were actually on 6bit, not the full 8bit we would come to expect later. The 320x200 resolution would also be a sore point for artists and that’s how you ended with quite a few games sticking to the EGA palette and using dithering to simulate more colours while using a superior resolution (640x480, or was it 800x600?). I’ve some vivid memories of Cobra Mission for example, or the Commander Keen saga.

Hercules used to play in 720 x 400 or thereabouts.

And that CGA palette looks wrong to me, haha. All the games I ever saw were either cyan magenta black and white, or black red green yellow. First time I see a mix like this.

I am still annoyed that we let the damn Argentinian beef get through, but I think it’s comparatively hilarious that we still won’t budge on US “food”.
