Which ones? As far as I'm aware, they're all full-fat PS3 titles

Minor correction: some levels had bonus areas where you could save, but you could only do so once. Still a ballache.

NPM

Nginx Proxy Manager, I assume

Oh no

Pretty sure I was fooling around with LimeWire at that age

I don't see you contributing much of value either...

Nope, I meant this Doom, whose original source code is here on GitHub.

I'm surprised you've not got OpenRCT2 to work - I'm fairly sure it's in most default repos.

You do need to have a full copy of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 as it uses data / assets from the original game.

I would happily link you to Unreal Tournament, but it's no longer for sale anywhere as far as I'm aware.

Part of my wife's rationale for getting an Ecobubble was that it played the little song, and she loves it. (Also the whole low power and water usage thing)

HAL 9000 vibes

if I get an idea I am not happy until it start making money

That sounds extremely unsustainable

Doom, of course!

Also, OpenRCT2, and Unreal Tournament.

It depends on a lot of factors. Minecraft, despite its signature simplistic artstyle, takes a surprising amount of CPU power to run - a lot more so if you run mods. Even a Minecraft server, which doesn't render graphics at all, takes a beefy machine and a lot of RAM.

It's as much about graphical fidelity as it is quality of code, and unfortunately, there are a lot of game studios that don't seem especially bothered about optimising their games. To the extent that you can fill, say, an Xbox's hard drive with only two or three AAA games.

All that said, you're right in that simpler graphics in general mean less work for the graphics card to do. Just that it's not the only factor.

Hi!

I'd like to add to this by saying that on my Windows 11 work laptop, I have Firefox set as the default. If I open a link from Outlook or Teams, it will open in Edge. So you're not wrong, and it's quite infuriating

...It's not really an opinion, but okay

They're not, but your example is a game with detailed graphics...

Stardew looks fantastic, what are you saying?

Some fun games I’ve played use intentionally shitty graphics to add to it

If it adds to the experience, wouldn't the graphics then be good?

Graphics are important. Polygon count is not. There is no real value in being able to see each individual eyelash, but I also don't think there's much benefit to making every game look like the original Lode Runner.

Possibly because one was on a console that sold "okay", and the other was on one of the biggest-selling systems of all time
