Anderson Posted February 20, 2022 Report Posted February 20, 2022 Quote "I really perceive that vanity about which most men merely prate — the vanity of the human or temporal life. I live continually in a reverie of the future. I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active — not more happy — nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. The result will never vary — and to suppose that it will, is to suppose that the foregone man has lived in vain — that the foregone time is but the rudiment of the future — that the myriads who have perished have not been upon equal footing with ourselves — nor are we with our posterity. I cannot agree to lose sight of man the individual, in man the mass." - 2 July 1844 letter to James Russell Lowell from Edgar Allan Poe.

Usually every month I go to a movie event called Straight to video. We watch movies with low imdb ratings, usually from the 80s.

JackFarmer Posted March 21, 2022 Report Posted March 21, 2022 https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=9tOz3dn3vuU David Simon's newest TV series once again based in Baltimore. @Amadeus: Would be great if you could check it out in April and let me know whether it is good...although I do not have doubts about that. Hopefully this one gets released on DVD. Quote

Yes, my friend: I bought a few weeks ago "The Deuce" on regular DVD and I am pretty sure that the last season of Better Call Saul will also be released on DVD. ...but I could not resist to buy "Lovecraft County" (which I have not seen yet) on BluRay...as I also bought the HBO Watchmen series on Bluray. I am looking forward to reading your report! Quote
Amadeus Posted March 21, 2022 Report Posted March 21, 2022 I am very excited for the last season of Better Call Saul. It'll be the end of an era when that show finally ends. Quote FMs: A Good Neighbor, Eye on the Prize Co-FMs: Seeking Lady Leicester, Written in Stone, The Painter's Wife

Peter Gould/Vince Gilligan 4. Ron Moore 5. David Lindelof When I see this truly epochal list, my heart warms and I am very close to tears! 1 Quote

kano Posted March 25, 2022 Report Posted March 25, 2022 This game with ray-tracing would be cool. I rather like the artwork. Quote
kano Posted March 31, 2022 Report Posted March 31, 2022 How come (most of) the sounds on this machine are quite good, when it only has 4MB of samples, compared to a 4MB soundfont on the PC, which generally sounds like crap? 2 Quote
kano Posted April 2, 2022 Report Posted April 2, 2022 Actually sad that I missed out on and never played this game back in the day. Quote

HMart Posted April 6, 2022 Report Posted April 6, 2022 Don't know if already posted but here is, Unreal on Doom 3 engine (idtech 4), done for fun by a oficial Prey 1/Rage/Doom (2016) level designer, this is what the old original idtech 4 can do in the right hands. 2 Quote
datiswous Posted April 6, 2022 Report Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) Does he just do one of these Prey portals here? Edited April 6, 2022 by datiswous Quote
HMart Posted April 6, 2022 Report Posted April 6, 2022 6 minutes ago, datiswous said: Does he just do one of these Prey portals here? I don't think that is really a Prey portal, but a cleaver trick done with real time room swapping (or no swapping at all, just a copy of the room at the other side of the tunnel) or player instant transport, why I think so, because a Prey portal, doesn't need a tunnel, it works exactly like a Valve Portal, portal, meaning you can pass from one region to another totally different, seamlessly. But I could be wrong and he is using the Prey version of idtech 4. Quote
