choice of programming language for web apps often has minor effects on scalability if any, it's all about the design and database

and yea these instances need a lot of disk space, but programming language doesn't affect that either

I just noticed your avatar is a section ID lol, I had to look it up to know which one, Skyly

The keyboard was essential, I did get one for my Dreamcast. But the keyboard-less chat system was actually really good. And symbol chat was fucking amazing, I wish Sega would make a keyboard app for Android based on that, it can just send as image files like Gboard does when sending combined emojis.

I can't believe it, they're finally adding quote posts

the carousel for pinned posts seems cool, I have a bunch of pinned posts but I do kinda hate the scrolling down to find the actual most recent post

I played this game so damn much. When I was I kid a bought a Dreamcast just for this game, and only had this game for a long time. I bought a VGA adapter for this game too, looked much better.

I also played the PC versions a lot (Blue Burst, and the one before it).

I don't think it's a complete list, but also there's no way to filter by which ones have the ActivityPub plugin

strange they aren't on https://fediverse.observer/

makes it hard to find which instances have ActivityPub enabled, and what communities we could subscribe to

There’s been a pivot away from “classic” speedruns games over the last few years - I get that Doom or Sonic 2 or Goldeneye or other 90s games aren’t guaranteed a place every year, but it seems like the games that kicked off the speedrun scene are often overlooked these days.

I definitely always want 80s/90s games in GDQ lol, but I'm old so what do I know, I can still enjoy newer games sometimes

[–] Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

Like the 2016 Doom onwards, the runs are technically outstanding, but there’s a lot of walking on invisible geometry with collision detection, or random tricks like railboosting in Doom that seems to break a game.

but the glitchless/etc runs of those Doom games on high difficulty are amazing, Doom Eternal is so fast it's basically a single-player e-sport

 

If you don't know what Deus Ex Randomizer is, here's the trailer from v3.0 which gives an overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3mTcG6xeq4&list=PLZIQTa_kwZhBksj7UzcahPiRaHk87fWch&index=1

It's been about 1 year since v3.0 let you pet the dogs and other animals. Here are some of the biggest things we've added since then.

  • Many new game modes:
    • Halloween mode, WaltonWare Halloween, and other varieties - adds zombies, limited saves, and Mr. H who is a big invincible guy that roams the map and tries to smack you.
    • Mr. Page's Mean Bingo Machine - A new mode where you play through the whole game, but must complete a bingo line before being allowed to progress to the next mission. Once you get to the next mission, you are given a new bingo board!
    • Zero Rando Plus - like "Zero Rando" (no randomization, very vanilla) but Plus more quality of life additions and balance tweaks.
    • Speedrun Training mode - shows where possible goal locations are without spoiling them.
    • We split off the old "Normal Randomizer" mode into "Full Randomizer", with the new "Normal Randomizer" being a more welcoming game mode to learn the Randomizer.
    • Strong Augs mode - increases the strength of augmentations.
    • One Item Mode - Our new dumbest game mode! All items in a map will be replaced with a single type of item (eg. all flares, all biocells, or all beers)

  • Many new loadouts and augmentations:
    • The default "All Items Allowed" loadout now starts with the new inferior "Running Enhancement" instead of the old "Speed Enhancement". Choose the "Speed Enhancement" loadout if you want to start with that like before.
    • The Three Leg Augs loadout - Allows Running Enhancement, Jump Enhancement, and Run Silent. You start with one of them. Enables aug slot rando by default.
    • My Vision Is Augmented loadout - Allows Vision Enhancement, Short-Range Vision Enhancement, InfraVision, and Motion Sensor. You start with one of them. Enables aug slot rando by default.
    • Random Starting Aug (instead of Running Enhancement)
    • And more!

  • Lots of balance changes
    • Allowing even more variety of play styles, especially with augmentations.
    • Balance changes are also now toggleable in the options. Disabled by default for Zero Rando, but most are enabled by default for Zero Rando Plus.
  • More goals rando, especially for Gordon Quick, and Area 51.
  • New augmentation slot randomization feature (so speed can be an eye aug)
  • Multiple, rotating quicksave slots
  • New menu to change current in-game settings
  • Many new bingo goals and improvements to our bingo game modes!
  • Deus Ex: Revision support is massively improved as a whole

Paris, July 24, 1914. We are excited to announce that Jordan Mechner's acclaimed real-time adventure The Last Express is now ready for testing in ScummVM!

Step into the shoes of Robert Cath, an American doctor on the run from murder charges, as he boards the legendary Orient Express for what would be its final journey before the outbreak of World War I.

What makes this adventure game truly unique is its time-based gameplay - the game takes place in real time, and characters move within the train following their own schedules, speaking in their native languages, and living their lives whether you're watching or not. But don't worry... you can always rewind time if you missed anything important!

To test this game, you'll need the original version of the game (either from the original hybrid DOS/Windows/Mac CDs or from GOG.com) and a daily development build of ScummVM. Please note that the Gold Edition available from Steam is NOT supported - only the original version is compatible at this time. The engine supports the following languages for the game: English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. We couldn't locate the Japanese version at the moment, but please contact us if you have it!

Grab a daily build, have our testing guidelines handy, and get ready for an incredible journey through history, mystery, and one of the most innovative adventure games of the 1990s — and besides... the Orient Express is such a beautiful train, wouldn't you want to take some screenshots while you're there?
