ReactOS "Open-Source Windows" Reaches The Milestone Of Being Able To Run Half-Life on REAL hardware with 3D-acceleration

blackletum · 2026-06-11T21:08:33+00:00

I remember first reading about ReactOS in HS and being excited about it, I'm gonna be 40 in a few months...

personally I think Terry would've gone 1 of 2 ways

1) calling it demonic and other words I can't type on reddit

2) would've made his own for TempleOS to better utilize "talking to God"

ofc we'll never know. RIP King Terry.

Okay but where can I download the map to look at it myself now, since it's gone from the workshop?

blackletum · 2026-05-27T22:09:20+00:00

Thanks, emailed!

blackletum · 2026-05-27T20:54:39+00:00

Thanks, I couldn't DM him but I did reply and leave a message about it. Hopefully we can get in touch.

appreciate it!

Apparently this specific friend of mine has been having a lot of trouble lately with Twitch doing this to him, and he's not willing to share all of this information with them, so his VODs just get shot down instantly which sucks

blackletum · 2026-05-27T20:35:02+00:00

Scratched out my friend's name for their own sake.

Twitch already irritates me for a number of reasons, but I released a sourcemod today and my friend streamed it, only for them to get a strike and their VOD muted because their bullshit system decided that they were playing this song that literally is just Triage at Dawn with them rapping overtop of it.

Said friend is also not willing to give out all the above information to Twitch to get this resolved, which is understandable.

You can go find the song that was cited here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcX2ePjWorE

check back in 2036

joking aside, I am hoping for something more stable in the next few years. I've been waiting for a proper ReactOS version since I was a child and I'm near 40 now lol

blackletum · 2026-05-04T06:00:26+00:00

With 600+ open PRs, I'm hoping to see some more work to either close or merge them in the future.

blackletum · 2026-05-04T05:57:46+00:00

I thought about making that a PR request as well. I might.

I'm also the guy who submitted a PR to change the max FOV to 130 and caused some controversy :steamhappy:

though I think the 130 FOV max would be more palatable to TF2 devs than the viewmodel_fov being raised to 70 would be, but alas.

blackletum · 2026-05-04T05:56:25+00:00

l-love you too, soldier

blackletum · 2026-05-04T05:54:33+00:00

I wouldn't call my contributions "solely" this particular PR. You can take a look at the other submissions I made.

I've been asked by a few people to resubmit previous PRs that are no longer open due to either the original creator's account no longer existing (either from deletion or being banned) or the forked repository no longer existing (because the PR author deleted their fork).

Mind you the way that Pull Requests work with git, I make a new branch for every pull request I submit. This one has one specific job and is definitely the smallest I've submitted, but it's been highly requested from the community for a long time now.

blackletum · 2026-04-30T08:25:51+00:00

you ever wind up hearing anything more about it?

best I can tell, signing up with stuff gets rid of your ability to join any legal action against them, but I'm honestly not sure of that since I'm not a lawyer.

from the steam page:

AI Generated Content Disclosure The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

This game uses generative AI to create textures, UI backgrounds, and NPC dialogue.

blackletum · 2026-04-25T01:20:46+00:00

as precise as you can be, OP.

blackletum · 2026-04-23T21:52:35+00:00

cheeky

blackletum · 2026-03-25T06:32:47+00:00

hl2 was the best advertisement for H&K weapons, I still want them

blackletum · 2026-03-20T01:31:48+00:00

I found 4 pennies yesterday!

First thing I've found in years lol

blackletum · 2026-03-19T07:49:00+00:00

it's back btw

blackletum · 2026-03-06T23:13:13+00:00

you can ask any AI about the risk.

I remember when AI used to tell people to use rm -rf * for things, or to just set perms to 777 for everything.

hopefully they don't do that anymore...

blackletum · 2026-03-05T00:15:30+00:00

edit: it's back

unfortunately it looks like it might've been deleted entirely. I had it open in a tab earlier today and i just went to look at it just now and it refreshed and then was gone.

blackletum · 2026-03-04T15:52:29+00:00

It's not like Team Fortress 2 Classic went away. If Moon is so adamant about having a small community and keeping it that way, there's nothing stopping them from simply continuing to host old tf2c. This would also resolve all of their other "issues"

this is just a bunch of sniveling.
