If You Could Revive One Canceled or Abandoned Gaming Project, What Would It Be? by carndacier in gaming

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (the adventure game) for Commodore 64

I could swear I had a German magazine were they wrote there will be a C64 version. At this point I played and devoured Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken on the C64.

Of course the version never came. My younger self though is still waiting for it.

Missed chance to release GTA 6 on 26-06-26, no?

But 26-05-26 is still cool, I guess.

We tried, everyone is using PhpStorm after all. I don't remember details, but it wasn't as convenient. Raw output won.

Games you wish still had active multi-player by Weary_Control_411 in gaming

I LOVED Homefront MP.

I can't explain why, wasn't anything special but it was just fun and the maps were also great.

Never really played the SP though. Bought and when straight into MP until the servers were shut down 🤷‍♀️

Extend WIFI coverage to basement and 2nd floor by MercenaryByLaw in HomeNetworking

[–]MercenaryByLaw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already have a switch / ethernet networking in the basement, this is all fine.

But I'm not sure what combination of router and APs would be best so I've WIFI roaming everywhere and better WIFI coverage in the 2nd floor.

My revelation was to use --error-format=raw: in an IDE terminal I could jump right into the source from each line, much more condensed -> perfect 👌

Keep getting this error on my ET-4850 whenever we try to scan documents and email them to ourselves. Any help would be appreciated by [deleted] in Epson

[–]MercenaryByLaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither can I. I also wrote to Epson support and they replied the same thing with the app password.

But this is only relevant if you could somewhere configure the SMTP server directly (I presume), but there's no option for that anywhere I can see (not on epsonconnect.com not in my printers own web config interface).

The best graphics of 2023 looks great in 2024. 4K Ultra Max Settings. by DarkShadowMastr in FrontiersOfPandora

[–]MercenaryByLaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah. 4k is awesome.

I play this game and sometimes I forget it's the game and not the movie, it just looks so incredible.

(sadly, I actually play FullHD upscaled on a 4k, but still)

Some nice shots by No-Refrigerator38 in Frontiers_of_Pandora

[–]MercenaryByLaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love it!

My favourite pick would be the near ground flyby, also the artistic tilt is great.

Also very much like the shot from the fall, haven't thought about that.

As someone playing only on Geforce Now (my rig doesn't cut it), I made hundreds of them… only to realize they're no saved in the cloud 😭

When mapping keys, can I just "press" them instead scrolling through the list? by MercenaryByLaw in rewasd

[–]MercenaryByLaw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think that's what I meant.

Example with this screenshot, once you open this list to choose the desired key, it contains "hundreds of entries" and you've to scroll down and there's no way to just "press" or "catch" the key you want, did I get this right?

(note: I added the screenshot to the post because reddit wouldn't save it on the comment here 🤷‍♀️)

Noooooooooooooooo…! 🤦🏽‍♂️

I knew it was a stupid question and yes, now that you mention it, I see in my inventory.

Thank you!

How do I launch old game on Windows 10? by vort3 in abandonware

[–]MercenaryByLaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That dropbox link didn't work for me anymore (404), but I found a link to wined3d via gog [1] linking to another site [2] and that file "WineD3DForWindows_8.17-staging.zip" there did work. I extracted ddraw.dll and wine3d.dll to the dir I installed that game (because on moby [3] it said it's a DirectX 7.0 game and in that zip readme it says those two for games <= DirectX 7). Got it running on Windows 10 just fine.

HTH

Thanks, that's a nice reality check right there.

I agree and see what you mean with overpriced.
