For a game that is supposed to take less than 30 hours to complete, it's more like reading the first chapter...

I tried playing CT... It was boring for the first 30 minutes, then I turned it off.

I'll have to play it before I comment on its listworthiness... lol

Well, at least you had TMNT in there. lol

You're missing ALttP and Earthbound...

As for "old OS support", and how gamedev should make the games playable forever, I have another one for you: how about old hardware support? Let's take "glide" for instance. To run properly the game written for glide, not only do you need the old OS, but also the old hardware. It is impossible to run such game on modern system, even if you manage to install the old OS on it. So what do you think the developers need to do in this case? Right now we have a new graphic API named vulkan. I can imagine that in 5-10 years it will replace completely both DX and OpenGL. The newer hardware won't even have the driver support for the older API, like they do not have glide support right now. ALL the games we have now will be unplayable, unless you have old OS, old drivers and old hardware to run it. So I think it's just impossible to make a game that will be runnable forever.

Bad example, as Glide has had an OpenGL wrapper for years...

True that it's sad that they link it to online only, but there are lots of people preserving the at least semi-popular flash games... Many take requests too, just not for "this entire site".

The Last Stand: Union City. If Armor Games goes down, there goes that.

That's a bad example because I have a 100% offline version of it floating around in one of my spare hard drives.

I think Ross might end up liking the Battlezone games... At least the classic ones. (the remakes are OK, but not quite as good as the original)

Must not've taken then, because it only allows 1 report, and I reported it after your comment...

Is this a phishing scam? Because this looks a lot like a phishing scam. That or spam.

It's the kind of post you should report, (the ! in the lower right corner of the post) not reply to.

Losing support isn't the same as killing the stuff using it. It's a difficult transition, but not necessarily bad in the long run.

Sad.

Analog sticks have aiming assist... Mouse generally doesn't.

What makes you think we'll run out? There is no indication of that in any of the reports I've seen. (including some pretty grim looking ones I'm not authorized to have seen)

For the file hosting, you might want to consider Bayfiles... https://torrentfreak.com/former-pirate-bay-cyberlocker-bayfiles-makes-a-comeback-180718/

Great... Your video corrupted my converter install... lol

Gonna take me a while longer to "reacquire" the converter.

Torrenting is a good choice, just seed them once, and let the community do the rest.

There quite obviously is something to add though...

I'll give a few of my encoders a try.

Ross, you mentioned liking the 80's style synth music, so I have to ask if you've heard of Lazerhawk? It's designed to be very similar to that era's synthetic music. If you want, I do have a short list of similar artists.

The release of less compressed version of this video! How about the 10GB or 5GB version Ross?

I guess I'll just release the 10GB version, I can see the compression on parts in the 5GB copy. Even the 10GB probably has some minor loss, but I'm sure it's night and day compared to Youtube. I may host it elsewhere since things are going to be changing soon on the site. I'll release it and the green screen segment people wanted in a couple days and have a post here.

If you're getting significant visual artifacts at 1080p above 3gb/hr you need to check your settings, or get a different encoder. It shouldn't be giving noticeable artifacts (outside of pausing and doing frame comparisons) at that rate.

Why do you think it should stay abandoned?

They didn't use ANY transistors, much less put them inside a vacuum tube. All computers in the Fallout universe are a form of analog computer, and that is actually why AI is even possible at all.

What could be more random than this?
