The (incomplete) Thief2 and System Shock2 source code was leaked years ago from a Dreamcast development kit. I imagine a Google search would find you a download. I think I saved a copy too, someplace.

A lack of time and energy has a way of killing interest and desire. I expect if you managed to attain or retain more of both of those you’d find some level of passion. And passion doesn’t have to be earth shattering. There’s a lot of joy to

Setting up the audio propagation in the Thief level editor is super tedious but it’s hard to argue with the results. You draw “Room brushes” (basically boxes) to encompass space and sound will propagate across where they intersect with each

I got 1/10… The article shows the percent of people who guessed incorrectly was between 80-90% I wouldn’t be surprised if the images were handpicked out of a set after being found to be particularly difficult to guess. Or maybe I just

I don’t recall anything like that in FF6 either. They even removed part of a scene in a rerelease where Celes is chained up and gets punched by a guard. There are still plenty of other horrifying things in FF6 though.

I’m a counselor that works with young folks and teenagers. A lot of them are up late (1-2am)and some all night on their phone or playing video games. This naturally leads to fatigue, poor concentration, unstable or volatile moods, bad grade

Licensed mental health counselor in WA here. Been working in community mental health for the past 6 years. Pretty tired of it at this point. Thinking about going private practice, but I’ve no experience running a business. Any career advice

I wonder about the long term effects of making things easier. I’m not sure we’re doing students a favor by lowering the bar. College is a lot of work, and a test that is also a lot of work seems like it would predict success better than an

It’s oddly distressing to be around others with beliefs radically different than our own. Especially when our knowledge and philosophy are grossly contradicted. It’s often hard to resolve those feelings, and so we tend to try to change othe

Burnout from my job, and poor sleep leading to decreased enjoyment in most things. I commonly have very little energy. Things that I’ve found help, are less screen time and light exercise. But I find motivating myself to do so difficult. It

I wonder how creative stays in business. I see they still make sound cards, and they sell speakers/headsets. But they’re not exactly ubiquitous like they were back in the day.

I have a couple of PowerMac G5s that I use for retro gaming with my dad. I find them to be fun and nostalgic. I find it really neat when folks are still developing and maintaining software for older machines. It’s a sad day that TenFourFox

I’ve been watching whether there are AMD laptops in retail stores for years. I’ve been pretty consistently disappointed. I’d estimate I saw about 10 Intel laptops for 1 AMD for sale. They typically only ever had lower tier stuff if anything

This is a pretty fun resource. I collect old computers from the early 2000s and I might have to see how well this works on them. I wish there was a kind of “RetroNet” similar to this one, with a curated list of websites that intentionally s

As a user, I really admire and appreciate the work that goes into ScummVM to preserve old games. I also love reading the development blog. I have a number of old computers with old OSes in them, such as Win98, XP, and Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5
