9 is just not enough, it took 3 tries to make this list, but King's Quest, the original Sub Logic/ Microsoft Flight sim, a Civ game, Goldeneye and Doug Smith's 1984 Dos port of Lode Runner and it's fantastic level editor should be in there too. My taste have just been shaped by too many platforms

Never even heard of it dude, I'l check it out. Also, this is why I don't publish list like this lol, third time is the charm. If it's games that made me, this list feels much better. Fighting games and Flight sims need to be in there. This is why I didn't do a re-tweet. I'm not good at list lol.

This is really hard tbh, I had to do it twice. No particular order, and this would change from month to month, but these are my safest picks. RE4, Skyrim, and SM64 really want to be in there though.

Also, when folks say "DOS gaming" they are usually referring to the golden age in the 90's post Apogee and Epic. From 85 to 90, (my personal favorite era) consoles were a much better value and platform for gaming. But in 84, PC was the only place you could play anything like Ancient Art of War.

We had one of these, Top Skater, the board would be broken every two or three weeks, sometimes it would take a week to fix, so they sold the machine the same summer. When I moved away, the biggest attraction was was an Electric Chair you sat in that gave you a fake shock with vibration on your hand.

Great Asianometry video about how difficult and... volatile the DRAM industry has historically been, and how we've arrived at the 3 company bottleneck the industry has become. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehT3...

Goodbye Bob Weir. Thanks for everything. Only a year after Phil Lesh died. The passing of time is so sad.

I want to believe that the PBS employee that chose this image from the archive for this thumbnail did this on purpose 😄

All you have to do is copy Optiscaler folder contents and a single DLL compiled from AMD's leaked int 8 version of FSR 4 into the game folder with the exe. Execute a batch file included with Optiscaler and answer 4 questions and you're good. It really is shocking how good the int 8 FSR4 is...

My results show a nearly identical framerate to FSR 3 quality using FSR 4 balanced, with all foliage shimmering and most distant artifacting removed. I tested with 7900 GRE, but it seems everything from the 7700 up bears similar results. Installation into a game is very straight forward.

For anyone with an AMD 7000 series RDNA3 GPU, I've tested optiscaler FSR 3 > FSR 4 conversion, and the results were surprising. I'll only use upscalers in two games, but one of those, Cyberpunk 2077, the image quality using balanced preset was better than the image quality using FSR 2 and 3 quality

Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition has been removed from my Library list as well, just not there. I can find it with a search but it's greyed out like it's hidden.

"Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers" -Randy Pitchford that's a real quote

Talking about Borderlands 4, Randy Pitchford told a reviewer with an i7 12700k and a RTX 3070 "“That the game runs at all on your system is a miracle". Borderlands 4 is only for rich PC gamers, but visually it looks just like Borderlands 3, the "cell shaded" visuals do NOT match the requirements.

This would be the fifth image, literally, that I've ever generated with AI, as I had to tell it to pixelate the first one for a CRT look It's GPT and I'm impressed at the same time as I'm underwhelmed, if that makes any sense.

For a lot of folks, it's their favorite. Mine will alway be X but I can't even tell you why, the game reads like it was translated wrong. And the voice acting...

Midi ia a powerful tool that gives us access to any instrument. I play guitar and a good third of all the songs I've made were done the same way you said in midi, note by note, layer by layer, but I had a music keyboard. I've done whole compositions with just a mouse and a midi piano roll though.

President Trump tries to gaslight the war in Ukraine as Zelenskyy's fault... What he really doesn't agree with was Zelenskyy not folding to his extortion and providing "dirt on Biden" in exchange for aid. Because Trump will make everything about himself.
