The Hardest Level In Doom History Was Finally Beaten (Okuplok)
The actual play is over 6 hours, and surprisingly amusing to watch!
Link here if you have 6 hours of free time.

That's both amazing and beautiful! I wonder how they stumbled on this glass.
If a server has a bot set up on lemmy federate, the server is automatically loading posts for the community. Especially handy for smaller instances where none of the users on there have noticed the post, or have subscribed.
Since lemmy is still relatively small, a lot of people don't subscribe, and instead use the all feed, and maybe even block communities that don't interest them.
Finally! A use for my 486!

If that's a slight grump look, I wonder what the full grump looks like.
People like this deem themselves great drivers, and everyone around them can't drive. The officer should have taken his license instead.
Not like a wire though. Your body, depending on the distance between points touching, is about 1000 ohm resistance.

This is my pick too.
Also, if you're into the history of Rome, give "The History of Rome" by Mike Duncan a listen. It's old, so the first few episodes are of a questionable audio quality. But he gets a new microphone pretty early on, and it gets easier to listen to. He talks about the entire history of Rome, starting with Romulus and Remus and going pasthrough the republic, then the empire and up to the 5th century. The episodes are nice and short, and mistakes are always rectified if need be one or two episodes later.

We all gibber sometimes. The message came through, that's the most important part.
This is a great idea. I'll pick this up soon, and will keep you guys posted, and put it in the sidebar. With recommendation to subscribe to it using an account on a different server.
Thanks!
My god... Now I feel even more bad about it!
About the downtime the last few days.
I'm sorry to say we had over a day of downtime starting yesterday. I'm not sure what happened, but it seems to have happened the day after the maintenance from the provider.
This is the story so far:
The day before yesterday (the 24th) the server was offline for a few hours due to maintenance on the provider side. It was announced beforehand, but the exact date of the maintenance was not, so I assumed it was the maintenance.
Yesterday (the 25th) the server went offline again. Since it was still within the announced maintenance window, I assumed it was also part of that. After a while the server still didn't come online, so I started worrying.
I called the provider yesterday, as it seems the server just disappeared. They put out a ticket to the service department, and all we could do was wait.
The server came back online today without warning, and a backup was restored. This means there is at least a little data lost from the last time it was online, but it's at least a

We had a little downtime earlier today. This was due to maintenance on the provider end.
Unfortunately this meant a downtime of about 3 hours. But thankfully we are up and running again.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit - The seeds of what was to come in the series.
I never had a computer that could run this, but now, with my old IBM and added Voodoo card, it's great. I used to be so impressed by the reflections!
I remember going to my friends house to play this in his dad's home office. My father's friend actually bought a force feedback wheel just for this game. He had to hold the desk with his other hand because else he would rip the wheel straight off. Great memories.
The game still holds up, if you like arcade racers with dated graphics (but let's be honest, if you're here, you don't care about graphics). It's less weird, and a little more grounded, than Need For Speed 2. And the police mode is fun, although easy once you get the hang of it.
I don't know why arcade racers fell off the radar. And the ones that still are arcadey, never feel fun enough. I think the effect where the fov changes to make it "feel faster" just turns me off. Only thing still somewhat encapsulating the old arcade feel is probably Trackmania. And that's just r
