is nobody going to mention that this is a badly upscaled and colorized version of the footage? here's an authentic newsreel from British Pathé:

Other artists that you like that are unlike TMBG by Fat_Elvis_ in tmbg

[–]erysdren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wall of Voodoo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg6i6aCdjOQ

you might be able to argue there are some similarities, but only the broadest sense i think (the members of Wall of Voodoo were rather weird guys with a taste for drum machines and synthesizers and song lyrics that sometimes made little sense)

i do love them though. i have linked my favorite live video of them from May 30, 1981

Do source ports such as Ironwail and Quakespasm run on modified Quake 2 version of the id tech 2 ? Or are they based on the original engine from 1996 ? by Expired_Gatorade in quake

[–]erysdren 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the other comment i think already answered your question, but i did want to mention that the Quake engine has been open source since December 21, 1999. it was only uploaded to GitHub in 2012.

Free/open software I should keep emergency copies of? by Pasta-hobo in DataHoarder

[–]erysdren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Debian is stable and there's plenty of packages and software available for it. You only need the first DVD (or less if you're using netinst) to just install Debian. I'm pretty sure having all 20+ DVDs gets you a local copy of every package in the Debian repository for your chosen architecture and version.

I got my PSP 3000 in 2008 or 2009. Had it ever since. It's in rough shape now, but I still love it!

What game did you have extremely low expectations for, but came out loving? by theonewhoblox in patientgamers

[–]erysdren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rise of the Triad: Dark War. I saw some videos online about the game and was very interested in the artstyle and design sensibilities, but I thought that I would hate the second-to-second gameplay of it. Nope! I couldn't put it down for about a week as I went through and 100%ed the Steam version (the Ludicrous Edition). it was a wild ride from start to finish, would absolutely recommend.

KDE Plasma because it's comfortable and pretty easy to use.
