Yamagi Quake II 8.40 has been released!
https://www.yamagi.org/quake2/
It has several performance improvements to the GL1 renderer (so it works better on Raspberry Pis and similar underpowered devices), experimental SDL3 support and more!

@npub1qw9…r0g7 I wonder if people taking videos of their integration attempts spend less time reading documentation, because that might look boring on video

Looks like it's shedding season again..
I would've added a poll for "guess when Fellwurst was last brushed before this time", but apparently Mastodon doesn't allow pictures and polls in the same post.. feel free to make a guess in a comment

> This is the latest version of the Descent 3 source code. This includes the '1.5' patch that Jeff Slutter and Kevin Bentley wrote several years ago. At the time, it worked for Windows, Linux, and Mac.

@npub1pu3…8r76 oh sorry, 2000 *was* a leap year (unlike 1900 or 2100), so 72 it is

@npub1pu3…8r76
Note: If you're born on Feb 29th, you only reach legal majority 72 years after your birth, but keep in mind that 2000 was no leap year so most likely it'll be more 76 years after your birth

@npub1pu3…8r76 WTF - I thought this only was the case when using a profile that clocks higher then what the CPU officially supports
At least these rules don't seem to be enforced (and I don't think I've ever had a CPU die), but this sure sucks

hmm on my mainboard (ASUS ROG Strix B550-A Gaming -clearly gaming hardware, but middle price range) I had to explicitly enable the XMP/EXPO profile for the DDR4-RAM to run at full speed - which is DDR4-3200, officially supported by the CPU (Ryzen 5950X). Otherwise it ran at DDR4-2400 speed, I think? Or was it 2133? I forgot, at least significantly lower

Couldn't Intel force MB vendors to ship default values that are safe?
If somebody wants to overclock (even more) they can still do it, but then when their system becomes unstable it's their problem..
Or are there already limits and they're too high (for 0.1% of the CPUs)?

@npub1pu3…8r76 true, most of its significance is being the first and thus influencing later shells (maybe they're even direct descendants? not sure)
Same for B, its significance is its influence on C (but I think Thompson also worked on C?) and thus all its descendants (like C++, Java, C#, D)
But even if he didn't work on the popular shells (and possibly C?) himself, having influenced their design heavily IMHO still makes him a very influential programming language designer

"as many as always"
looking at the steam game releases by year stats, I think that there are a lot more smaller companies releasing games: https://steamdb.info/stats/releases/

I get the "tube" part, but not the "boob" part - was US television so full of breasts when the term was coined?
(somehow hard to imagine, considering all the fuzz they do about "nipple slips" and such)
