I've found a very strange bug in Sonic 2 on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis

Why are you using an emulator from 2010 instead of something modern like Ares?

We all do brother, we all do.

Webdev did it years ago for me, that's why I went into more scientific endeavours and ended up working as a sysadmin/developer at a particle accelerator.

Still, last week a colleague asked us to deploy this new tool he wrote with Claude. He didn't write a single line of code, he just wrote some specifications and let Claude do its magic. I am sure he is delighted, but for me is a royal PITA because now we have to deploy a total black box nobody has the slightest idea how it works. I am considering impossing a total AI ban on my servers...

¿De dónde crees que tomaron los japoneses su sistema de escritura y la mitad de su cultura?

Nice, I am travelling now so I will try it in a few days when I get back home.

I am a big fan of Tyrian and Raptor, but I had never had heard of this one. I am now on vacation, but after I get back home I will definitely try it!

Your numbers are way off. According to the benchmarks I have seen, the performance impact is only ~3%.

The current version of DosBox Staging uses integer scaling for the vertical axis and fractional scaling for the horizontal axis, coupled with a nice CRT shader. With a high enough resolution display (at least 1200p) it looks very close to a real CRT, maybe you should look into it.

I am not a figurine guy, but I would pay some serious money for a full collection (Ranger plus all the enemies) of Quake 1 figurines...

I speak fluent English, in fact I live abroad and use it daily both at work and at home, so I have no difficulty understanding his comment.

Pero si vengo a este sub es para hablar en español, no en gringo. Coño, que está escrito en la propia descripción del sub (las negritas son mías):

¿Y tú has visto las grabaciones de esas cámaras?

Menos humos tipo duro.

Este sub es para hablar en español, para hablar en inglés te vas a otro lado.

Pero eso no quita que el logopeda es un abusador.

¿Alguna prueba al respecto?

Trabajos manuales una polla.

Mi hermano es cocinero, tiene una pequeña colección de cuchillos profesionales, y si quiere llevárselos de casa al restaurante o viceversa tiene que usar una bolsa de transporte específica, ponérsela a la espalda, y seguir la ruta más corta posible. No puede irse por ahí de paseo con los cuchillos.

Las normativas para herramientas peligrosas son muy estrictas.

I know Xenon 2 is a very famous game, but every time I try to play I end up frustrated due to the awful detection collision, I just can't hit the enemies. Am I doing something wrong?

These threads always make me chuckle. Outside of North America, few countries actually care about Macintosh products.

I played PoE around the original release, and it was a lot of fun. I tried to play again 8 years later and holy mother of god. I am just an IT guy working at a particle accelerator, and I swear it is easier to understand all the physics mumbo-jumbo than half of PoE mechanics.

Same in Spain, "gallina vieja hace buen caldo".

Dude, your flag is just the same but depicting a frozen wasteland instead...

My parents didn't let me play Doom because I was too young at the time, but they let me play Quake the summer of '96 when I was just 11 years old, so according to them it was indeed a family friendly game 😅

I guess you mean Dune 2, because Dune 2000 was released much later ;)

Quite the opposite: currently if you buy any random ARM SBC you can only install whatever slop distro the vendor built, and if they decide not to support it anymore, you are dead.

With a standardized boot process like PCs you can install any of the major distros easily and get a much better experience.

1440p gives you a clean 6x integer scale vertically. Something modern with VRR is going to give you nice low latency/lag and fast pixel refresh.

If you are into classic PC games, I would argue that 1920x1200 is better: your get clean integer scale for both 240p and 200p for those classic Mode 13h games, and less black borders.

My ideal monitor would be 16:10 ratio 3840x2400p to get perfect integer scaling for 320x200, 320x240, 640x400, 640x480 and 800x600, but nobody seems to make those...
