EDIT: This has been hotfixed in v3.2.1, along with a new tweak for the Halloween modes!

Turns out the lighting was a bit dark for some people, and since during October the cosmetics affect the regular randomizer modes too, we will be releasing a hotfix soon. For now remember that you can use the flashlight without any energy cost, and you can also increase the Brightness Boost settings in the Rando->Visuals menu. You can also disable the memes setting entirely in Rando->Gameplay.

subreddit CSS doesn't work on new reddit? lol I had no idea

but if they scrap old.reddit then I see a nice big wave of new Lemmy users coming, and we're much more ready for it this time

There are so many ways for mods to effectively destroy a subreddit or redirect it while remaining public.

I feel like internet users have become so lazy, stubborn, and resistant to change. I'm pretty sure it used to be easier to get people to move to new things like new forums, Xfire, Ventrillo, IRC, ICQ, AIM... people used to try new things

the README was interesting

It is a well-known fact that all useful computational devices ever created are capable of running DOOM. Despite decades of active research, there is yet to be developed a single practical use for quantum computers. This changes today, with the release of Quandoom, a port of the first level of DOOM designed for a quantum computer, given as a single QASM file, using a mere 70,000 qubits and 80 million gates. Although such a quantum computer doesn't exist right now, Quandoom is efficiently simulatable on a classical computer, capable of running at 10-20 fps on my laptop using the accompanying lightweight (150 lines of C++) QASM simulator.

Flavors of markdown are slightly different, but they share a lot in common. Also Boost has slightly different rendering than the Lemmy website UI, specifically with the spoiler tags

the language is called "Markdown", same as what Reddit and Discord use, as well as many others

There's a 2013 release of this song here: https://www.discogs.com/master/1516890-Various-EDM-B2

I always think of this Godzilla video when I hear this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzC6M1b9aR0

 

I love Doom speedruns and this playlist is full of them! These were played August 8th to 11th. Unfortunately no Quake or Doom 3 lol.

 

Cylobian Sunday, I almost missed it! lol

 

Which is your favorite part of the game? I always remember Benny's part the most.

Cylobian Sunday!

"Cylobian Sunset", recorded in 1994 and first released two years later, has since become regarded as an underground classic of electronic listening music. The tracks for "Bounds Green", released in 2007, were culled from the same sessions, and both albums share the same warmth, simplicity of style and melancholy.

Happy 25th anniversary to System Shock 2 (I'm actually a day late, oops!). One of the original Immersive Sims, and precursor to the BioShock series. This has much more RPG elements than BioShock does, and an inventory grid.


Wikipeda Synopsis

System Shock 2 is a 1999 action role-playing survival horror video game designed by Ken Levine and co-developed by Irrational Games and Looking Glass Studios. Originally intended to be a standalone title, its story was changed during production into a sequel to the 1994 game System Shock. The alterations were made when Electronic Arts—who owned the System Shock franchise rights—signed on as publisher.

The game takes place on board a starship in a cyberpunk depiction of 2114. The player assumes the role of a soldier trying to stem the outbreak of a genetic infection that has devastated the ship. Like System Shock, gameplay consists of first-person combat and exploration. It incorporates role-playing elements, in which the player can develop skills and traits, such as hacking and psionic abilities.

System Shock 2 was originally released in August 1999 for Microsoft Windows. The game received critical acclaim but failed to meet commercial sales expectations. Many critics later determined that the game was highly influential in subsequent game design, particularly on first-person shooters, and considered it far ahead of its time. It has been included in several "greatest games of all time" lists. In 2007, Irrational Games released a spiritual successor to the System Shock series, titled BioShock, to critical acclaim and strong sales.

System Shock 2 had been in intellectual property limbo following the closure of Looking Glass Studios. Nightdive Studios were able to secure the rights to the game and the System Shock franchise in 2013 to release an updated version of System Shock 2 for modern operating systems, including for OS X and Linux, and announced plans to release an Enhanced Edition of the game. OtherSide Entertainment announced in 2015 that they had acquired the rights from Nightdive Studios to produce a sequel, System Shock 3, but as of 2020 the rights have since been transferred to Tencent.
