I use Nextcloud to sync a huge music collection and it works great - I was kinda surprised

I run it on an underpowered NUC and it behaves beautifully

it’s good but the controls are just as fiddly as back in the day - there’s a new control scheme but it’s janky and difficult

the new graphics and lighting effects also look great but sometimes areas are so dark they hide things you need to discover

but, I don’t think OpenLara is going to fix either of those anyways

yep came here to say NixOS - once I was used to it, the advantages for programming are immense. I commit my shell.nix to Git and use Lorri to automagically install the right environment tools and it feels magical being able to work on multiple machines and never encounter dependency oddness

it isn’t so loud that other people would notice, i don’t think - and usually just a bit of readjustment of my position is enough to unblock the vents

don’t let me dissuade you from buying the best laptop i’ve owned!

if i have it on a table, it’s fine, mostly silent. if i have it on my lap blocking the vents then it can get noisier and hotter pretty fast

they're Nazis, and they cater to a Nazi audience

this track was even uploaded to a channel called "Goy World Order"

shame on @asmodeus@programming.dev for sharing this Nazi shit

it's a free update if you already own it on Steam. so not really a 're-release'

and there's much more than just the new graphics. this article details it: https://www.pcgamer.com/quake-2-remaster-release/

  • The original campaign, expansions The Reckoning and Ground Zero, the N64 levels, and the new Call of the Machine episode
  • Toggleable graphics upgrades that are stylistically consistent with the original (muzzle flashes, fog, improved lighting, that kind of thing)
  • Loads of accessibility features
  • Split-screen and online multiplayer
  • Co-op, deathmatch, team deathmatch, and CTF, with lots of built-in mutators
  • PC/console crossplay
  • Support for custom Quake 2 maps, new and old
  • Support for new mods, or old ones that have been updated for this 64-bit version
  • Improved AI enemies and bots

It's a reference to the "We Should Improve Society Somewhat" meme, zinging the defeatist replies in this thread.
