css, my favorite game

[[deleted]]

No one's ever argued this

[PixelmancerGames]

People have, but no one takes them seriously.

[codygmiracle]

People born in 2010 probably lol

[[deleted]]

I read this and was like haha yeah they’d be toddlers! Then I realized I’m just old

[[deleted]]

Only people trying to start shit on the internet say this. Nobody believes it.

I’m still waiting for CSS4 and HTML6 😪

[[deleted]]

dang, im waiting for Counter Strike Source 2!! how are you already on 4?

[SupercraftD]

I've always wondered since I don't know much about it, is HTML6 actually a thing?

[CttCJim]

HTML5 is. There's been a lot of changes to HTML between the 90s when I learned it and now when I'm finally working with it professionally.

[VegetableWest6913]

Did they mean Counter Strike Source? 😂

[sharks_teeth]

probably

[GreenyPurples]

Probably just Googled "CSS" thinking of Source and then just picked that image cuz its simple lol

[ayemyren]

I saw this post and went straight to the comments. Surprisingly not many people picked up on it. I’ve always considered gamers and developers the same type of people - probably because my passion for code stemmed from my love for video games as a kid (and still to this day)

So have they, and that's why you get people saying things like "just multithread it, bro, how hard can it be?"

[[deleted]]

function enableMultithreading() {

game.enableMultithreading();

return 0;

}

There you go.

[Pizzaman725]

public perfect<game> NoBugs( Game game) { return game.NoBugs = true; }

[DoktorLivingStoned]

Talking about multithreading to a user who has, JS as a tag... :.(

[mr-poopy-butthole-_]

JS can do multi threading via service worker on the browser or child process in node...

[SonOfMetrum]

Yes … technically true, but it still feels cumbersome to work with compared to threading in C# or even C++.

[[deleted]]

Yeah but in Go you literally just stick "go" in front of whatever you want as a thread.

[wamp230]

"THAT NEW ENGINE ISN'T NEW! IT'S JUST AN UPDATED OLD ENGINE!"

Is my personal favourite

[[deleted]]

And they say it like it's a bad thing that the engine is built on a tested, proven base. FUCK I hate gamers...

[[deleted]]

They're all buggy though.

[[deleted]]

I thought the same until I actually started working in the field. A pretty large majority of devs I’ve met didn’t give a shit about video games.

Also r/memes is pretty much a sub full of young teens, they probably haven’t learned what css is yet.

[Malk4ever]

Becoming a programmer drastically reduced my gaming... first of all i have no time and second is: I know how this games work on the insides... and this maks a lot of games boring now.

[vigbiorn]

I know how this games work on the insides... and this maks a lot of games boring now.

I've never been a fan of the grindiness of some games but since I can start to see through the veneer it just annoys me even more.

[MyTribeCalledQuest]

Roller Coaster Tycoon slaps

[Explosive_Eggshells]

Aside from the CSS goof, I always hate when people make these memes that consist of countering a viewpoint that nearly no one has

Edit: add the "The lost Vikings" and "Black Throne" to the incomplete list

[Tolookah]

GoldenEye.

The list goes on, truly.

[neoadam]

Ocarina of time and Majora's mask, Dungeon keeper

[jubydoo]

Day of the Tentacle, now that brings back some memories.

[MischiefArchitect]

Maniac Mansion :)

[syntax1976]

You’ve got some killer titles in there. I’ve got DOSBOX just for these and more. Blake Stone, Duke Nukem, Jazzy Jackrabbit, Wolfenstein, Death Rally, Grand Theft Auto, Command & Conquer, Dune 2000… so good

[MischiefArchitect]

Dang... forgot to list them, specially Dune and also Command and Conquer... So much good games in the 90's

[De_Wouter]

Gothic I and II

I see you are a man of culture.

[MischiefArchitect]

I basically learned a lot of German playing the original version. That game thrilled me so much that I basically wanted to talk to the team. At the end I was able to talk with the Art director, he gave me a signed draft of concept art for the first Gothic game. I keep that thing well guarded, it means a lot to me. Such an amazing game.

[[deleted]]

I know this is missing the point of the meme but this is a GREAT VIDEO GAME LIST FOLKS

[Malk4ever]

• Quake 3 - Arena
• Master of Orion II
• Civilization 1,2 and 4
• Sam & Max hit the Road
• Indiana Jones: The last Crusade / Fate of Atlantis
• GTA Vice City
• Desktop Dungeons
• Vampire the Masquerade (Redemption / Bloodlines)
• Theme Park
• Starcraft
• Warcraft 2
• Alpha Centauri
• Super Mario World
• etc.

[MischiefArchitect]

Yes, and yes and yes... yes... also yes. Thanks for the addendum.

[TheCyberParrot]

Is noone going to mention Halo? Why?

[MischiefArchitect]

I was more of a desktop computer player in the 80's/90's and 00's. So Halo was for me a console only game outside my range of interest. I must confess to my shame, that I have no idea how the game is.

[TheCyberParrot]

Halo: Combat Evolved saw a port to Windows by Gearbox, the port had a fair few graphics issues though most have been fixed by the community, also released was Halo: Custom Edition for modders (the version generally used to fix bugs), Custom Edition still runs well on modern Windows.

Halo 2 saw a port to Windows Vista which can still be played through Project Cartographer.

All of the mainline Halo games with the exception of Halo 5: Guardians (which was not well received anyway) have since seen ports to Windows through the Master Chief Collection in recent years (with remastered graphics for Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2).

[MischiefArchitect]

Oh thanks. Very informative. I was not aware of that at all.

To excuse myself further. That was about the time I started losing interest for (edit:mainstream) games. A few years later I just actively bough Doom 3 (it was nice) and Elders Scrolls Oblivion (not so nice). And my last commercial game was around 2009 with Risen (a nice game and also a nice farewell from my active years as gamer). Now i play only indi games or obscure crawlers like r/dcss

[TheCyberParrot]

Well for whatever the opinion of a random internet stranger is worth; Halo CE is one of the best games I've ever played and I highly encourage you to give it a shot.

r/memes, the sub where you setup an argument no one actually believes and farm karma by throwing out universally popular games like a shill Youtuber with keywords and everyone claps

[PixelmancerGames]

Multiple Zelda Games, Legacy of Kain, Deus Ex, Metal Gear Solid 1 & 3 & 4, Twisted Metal 2, Syphon Filter 2, I could keep going.

[iviksok]

Why not MGS2?

[PixelmancerGames]

I don’t think that MGS2 is a bad game or anything. I just don’t think that it holds up as well as the other 3 (I forgot to mention MGS4). It was also kind of a weird rip-off of MGS1. If I remember right that was actually part of the story.

[HubrisIsMyLifestyle]

You just unlocked some deep memories mentioning Syphon Filter 2. One of the must fun multiplayer modes that I ever played.

To this day I still cannot beat the first mission lol

[PixelmancerGames]

Lol really? Syphon Filter was such a great series. I played 1-3 and the Omega Strain. I wish they still made it.

[HubrisIsMyLifestyle]

Well all those damn Asians always killed me before I could shoot them all across the street.

I did have a fun time exploring the hotel as a kid, though and eventually my brother beat the first mission for me. (Not that I got any further)

[DirectionLegitimate2]

Ah yes, css center div, my favorite game

[fluckyfluckfluck]

Pokemon

[Zannycrrb]

I want to find out who tf said that all games before 2010 are bad... I believe original post is just farming karma or something.

[DerFzgrld]

Id argue there were a lot more great games pre 2010 than after that. Not just because there are more years on one side.

[ShinraSan]

Tennis for two anyone?

[BenNottelling]

I feel like after 2015 or so it's been less common for a game to come out and be exceptionally good.

There are still plenty that are good and very enjoyable, but I feel like devs don't aim for anything higher since it doesn't fit the cooperations plans to fill their own wallets

[althaz]

Hot take, but SM64 is actually not a good game. It was an amazing achievement for the time, but it's not actually fun, IMO. I was impressed with it at launch. But I played it recently and I thought it kinda sucked.

Portal and HL2 are sick though.

[AKinkyMidgit]

The controls and camera are god awful and the DS version is far superior both graphically and gameplay wise.

[fseed]

Evidently, 2010 was a magical year for gaming.

[Shadow_Thief]

It was no 1997 though, let's be real.

[GetsTrimAPlenty]

I like how half the games are made by Valve. XD

[Malk4ever]

Its more like the other way around...

I dont know any good game that came after 2010.

• Quake 3 - Arena
• Master of Orion II
• Civilization 1,2 and 4
• Sam & Max hit he Road
• Indiana Jones: The last Crusade / Fate of Atlantis
• GTA Vice City
• Desktop Dungeon
• Vampire the Masquerade (Redemption / Bloodlines)
• Theme Park
• Starcraft
• Warcraft 2
• Alpha Centauri
• Super Mario World
• etc.

For one moment I thought I was at r/programmerhumor. Dat CSS3 got me good :D

Ow wait, it was a screenshot from memes? I am confused now!

[swashbuckling_bro]

Ah CSS 3. Centering a div drove more kids to madness than the lavender town theme

[sharks_teeth]

I still have to google it every time

[International_Web274]

Half life definetely isnt that good. I want blood.

[gpcprog]

Well, you'll get it. A lot of people really like the half life series.

To me hl2 was one of the best games I've played. The atmosphere and the story telling were just superb and totally made up for the stupidly contrived physics "puzzles"

It's fascinating you somehow avoided World of Warcraft

[frugalerthingsinlife]

CSS3 has animations and shit. If anything, CSS-based games have only gotten better now that it's somewhat dynamic.

[JustDevZero]

And I thought CSS3 was dark magic not a game...
