That gave me a nightmare vision of Doom clones where you pay money to appear as a different sprite and it's inflicted with last man standing type game modes and all kinds of other bad things modern games do.

you pay money to appear as a different sprite with shiny particles around it. important distinction, of course.

and iddqd costs ten bucks to unlock, but it's part of a lootbox with all the other cheat codes in it

I kinda wish each "era" of computing/video games lasted 3-5x longer than it did.. :')

I'd have loved to live through 10 years of the Commodore 64, 10 years of the Amiga, 10 years of the NES, 10 years of the SNES...

we'd still be on the pentium pro by now. but imagine all the Doom clones we could have!

.george is a pretty funny one. apparently Walmart owns it, so you probably won't be able to register a .george domain any time soon.

https://icannwiki.org/.george

do companies even use these in the wild or are they buying these TLDs for nothing? ".brother", ".canon", ".nokia", ".panasonic", ".playstation", ".xbox", ".xerox"... there's even ".sandvikcoromant", which is some sort of Swedish metalwork company.

RSS/Atom is great to follow blogs, news and some social network such as hackernews and reddit.

I hope X/Twitter back to this functionality, but that's a low probability.

Nitter[0] seems to support it still, although it seems unmaintained - not sure how stable it is by this point. if you self host this, you should probably use burner account tokens, anti-botting measures might decide to shut down your X/twitter account

Is there still no alternative filling Google reader's void?

uz3snolc3t6fnrq · 5 days ago

you could self-host your own rss reader on a server & set it up to automatically update the feeds in the background every now and then, and just check on it whenever you want to read what's new. freshrss seems to be the popular choice.

there's also some subscription services that seem to do the same thing, but i have no experience with them.

That’s a fair question. You’re right about the crossplay part. Kids have consoles, which only support Bedrock. So if I want to play with them, then I need to play Bedrock too.

Which is a pity because, like yourself, I first played the Java edition too.

As an aside, I think Bedrock is the only version that supports VR. I don’t play VR Minecraft often, but sometimes it’s fun. Albeit only for about 15 minutes, then the motion sickness kicks in (curiously it’s the only VR game I’ve played that does give me motion sickness)

i've got possible good news for you then, there's a project that adds a translation layer between the two server protocols[0]. it has some limitations dealing with the different quirks and features that differ between both games[1], but it looks like everything else works fine. you could try that out if you find it to be a better option than wrangling with windows updates

as for VR, there's a third party mod for java[2], i tried it a couple years back and it felt pretty smooth, had no issues with it, but i don't have a point of reference to compare it to bedrock VR because i never tried it

Honestly, I can’t say I ever had that magical feeling.

In the 90s, it was more a case of “let’s see how much more system resource this new OS will consume when idle”. And the 00s was that and “let’s see how much more stupid this OS treats me”.

By the time 7 came and MS started taking resource consumption seriously, I’d already given up on Windows completely and had been using desktop Linux full time for several years.

I do have a Windows 10 floating about for gaming. But it’s really more of a chore to use than a joy. Albeit only because I seldom boot into Windows so I have to plan ahead to compensate for the two hours of system and application updates needed before Minecraft (Bedrock edition) will even start. A chore that’s hard to explain to my kids who, understandably, expect things to “just work”.

any particular reason you're on bedrock instead of java? don't you get both versions when you buy the game? i bought mine when java was the only version and i think they gave me bedrock for free when that came out. or is it because of the lack of crossplay? just curious
