defenders sandbox needs to be enabled first though but yeah it has come quite far since and is one of the lighter options on system resources. nod32 is one of the oldest security firms and is quite good, there is no free version though you can get an online scanner. avast is also not bad but as some pointed out it is ad driven. if looking for a free solution there are a few options like immunet which is based on cloud antivirus but also uses clamav locally. Another solution is comodo internet security which has anything the bigger firms also tout like sandboxing, the downside is that comodo is quite heavy on system resources and it can be a little daunting for beginners, it is very secure though. best antivirus as allways is to not do stupid things

omikron the nomad soul would probably fit pretty well with the darkmod engine, atleast the first map since it is a lot of corridors and cramped environment, anekbah might be a problem though as that part is a lot more open and also rather sunny :P. Some guy managed to port the old map meshes to be used in unreal engine, he even forwarded a video showing one of the chars you can become running through the city in unreal

also halo infinite seems to be comming to pc. Though kinda a ripof of the ringworld story by larry niven it was quite fun.

allways nice to see people get the recognition they deserve huzzah.

git can be quite quirky, found that out myself

doubt it was intentional from the devs side though in retrospect it and many other games have similarities. Same story with books where variations of plots sometime lead you to think you read this before.

plus the lack of an evil AI set on enslaving humanity hehe the necromorphs could very well be inspired by the T virus though.

indeed it does @peter_spy: aye i seem to remember some discussion about which games inspired it some years back.

not much out on the callisto protocol yet, the redline video does however show a bit more of the gruesome than the official video, so no the guy you see is probably not the one we get to play

original ds was quite ok though it did have a few annoying bugs like mouse sensitivity, new one seems to be based on the frostbite engine so expect some heavy visuals. The original author glen schofield also has a project cooking with the callisto protocol which looks very promissing. What we can hope for is that they fix the clusterfuck that was ds3 and provide us with a decent ending instead of a cliffhanger.

condolences

gah my R9 390 just blew up :S so now im using an asus strix 970 gtx with half the ram, performance wise it is quite similar to the R9 390 but in larger resolutions the 390 has it beat (probably because of it only having 4 gb "3.5gb actually" compared to the 390's 8GB). I managed to find the faulty component on my R9 390 but my eyesight is shit these days and i dont have the tools to desolder smd's so if anyone wants to toy with getting it running again i can point out the components that need to be changed.

dead space is getting a remake https://www.polygon.com/22587408/dead-space-remake-release-date-ea-play-trailer

Dont i know it been scrounging parts for a mediaPC for my bedroom, have an older MSI medion board with a core i7 2600 and an even older geforce 9600GT + a corsair PSU, still need some ram and a cabby and maybe an SSD though i can live with it not being super fast booting and i got a 1TB HD laying around :). As for Alyx some other guy is working on a better implementation for keyboard/mouse setups where all the actions can be mapped.

is actually possible but not very easy to play half-life alyx without VR you need https://github.com/r57zone/Half-Life-Alyx-novr and some stuff can be rather hard to do.

my bad was another game sadly wheel of time is not on gog. most bugs can be fixed by following this https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Wheel_of_Time which also has a link to the d3d11 renderer. If you prefer glide to get the old and dusty feeling get nglide which works like a charm with it. the quicktime cutscenes do not play on win10 though some report that it does for them with the fix from the site above (depends on win10 patch level i think). If the game crashes at startup this is the bug i get and the only way around it is to either delete the movie folder (if copied to the game dir) or open wot.ini and put a ; in front of the movie path. might also have to run the game as admin depending on where you installed it.

https://imgbox.com/XHCaFkGk wheel of time with d3d11 and bumpmapping SSAO HDR etc. not bad for a game from around 1999 eh

P.s only problem so far with wheel of time is that the quicktime movies crash the engine on win10 even with the quicktime fix so i had to remove them which imo kinda sucks because a good deal of the story comes from those.

Arrr matey

actually quite a lot of the old sprite based engines have engines that run on win10 today, most of the build based games like blood (which took bloody decades to get running on modern os) duke3d shadow warrior etc.

hehe yeah i remember all these ports like the old boom port there was even one based on the quake source code (vavoom i think it was named) it allowed playing from wad but you could replace the sprite models with real 3d quake models which incidently dont look all that good today risen was one of the more advanced i remember, zdoom was another as well as the doomsday engine.

the gog version still runs pretty well on win10 and you can now get a directx 11 renderer for it which helps somewhat with the dated visuals.

Well got a ways to go before that, in denmark you can only go on pension if you're from my time at the age of 69 (unless you are as rich as bill gates) and the younger you are today means this gets pushed even farther. The youngest people here today will only leave the working force feet first so i kinda feel bad for them.

probably one of the first 3rd party unreal based games and it was newer widely known still it was fun though you had to do a lot of planning at times due to the complexity of spellcasting in it. The story is kinda a preample to the series so you wont see the dragon reborn in it, instead you get a bit of backstory.

wheel of time but this time make the whole damn series dammit!!! also needs a better way to select spells the way it is set up it is allmost impossbile to select a spell before you are dead hehe.
