How bad is unemployed in Greenland exactly? 🤔

@mcc There's a video of him showing off his old Atari ST that he used as a sequencer, and "Rockafeller Skank", "Praise You", "Right Here, Right Now", and "Build It Up Tear It Down" were all on the same floppy disk!

I have no idea to this day how many games were on that DOS shareware compilation CD. Truth is, I don’t want to know. Some things are better left unsaid. I’d like to think that the number was so large, it can’t be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it.

@wbpeckham Actually I'm pretty sure people have compiled a working game from the 2003 leak and the 2017 leak.

@wbpeckham Well, the source code leaked in 2003. Start porting.

If you've enjoyed the documentary parts of Tetris Forever, but haven't seen the BBC documentary "Tetris: From Russia with Love," I suggest you check it out. You get a much more comprehensive story of the infamous rights debacle told personally by most of the participants:

Oh, and also a brand new 2 hour long Half-Life 2 documentary landed today as well: https://youtu.be/YCjNT9qGjh4

Half-Life 2 has been updated for its 20 anniversary. Fixes, new bonus content, and even incorporated its expansions into the base game.
It is also FREE right now, so if you still haven't played it for some reason, the time is *now*.

@baiteh Games are rarely so-bad-it's-good. Being an interactive medium makes it hard to enjoy frustrating gameplay.

Oh man, it's also on Steam!

@smiddi Nice! 👍

@peterrenshaw But it looks like last time you used it was over a decade ago.

The oldest internet forum account I haven't abandoned and still use is over 21 years old. I created it when I still lived in Russia. What about yours?

@ddr Yeah, I've just been told & tried it. That's so weird.

Shocked to discover that VLC can't take proper screen grabs of HDR video.

Unlicensed Russian commercial stand-alone Duke Nukem 3D total conversion "Liquidator" somehow made its way to ZOOM Platform. 🤷♂️
