I’m playing QBJ3 via Linux version of Ironwail right now, can confirm it works flawlessly. I think it’s something like 70 hours long? According to Vinesauce anyways. I’ve barely begun lol.

First off, here’s a big list of unofficial ports:
https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_unofficial_ports
Dhewm 3 for Doom 3. Just updates the game engine to run better on modern hardware since id tech 4 is open source. Mod support sort of, not every mod is compatible. They helpfully list those that do here: https://dhewm3.org/mods.html
The Sims 2 High DPI patch, self explanatory: https://github.com/lah7/sims2-4k-ui-patch
VCMI - Heroes of Might and Magic 3 open source engine/game extension. Has a built in mod manager, really handy: https://vcmi.eu/
Coming soon / WIP: I’m excited to play this port of the MS-DOS game Albion when it reaches feature parity with the original:
- Comment on Gaming market melts down after Google reveals new AI game design tool — Project Genie crashes stocks. (A.K.A . Investors panic because they don't understand what "real" videogames are) 6 days ago:
I’ll still buy from principled indie devs any day any year. There may be more old games than anyone could play in a single lifetime but let’s be real most aren’t good.
- Comment on Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually) 1 week ago:
I don’t. I was still buying physical releases and renting games from my local video stores until both things died out against my will.
Steam is convienent for the services they provide.
Since the USA is turning to shit, I try to buy from stores outside USA now so GOG is increasingly seeing more of my money. Let’s say Valve falls off or goes to shit after Gabe dies: I’m a skilled pirate so whatever.
Mostly I’m Ambivalent but kinda apathetic about launchers because I can just go and find whatever I potentially lose again elsewhere. A self educated privilege combined with grey morality I suppose. Or a resignation to an ever worsening reality I was born into without my say.
- Comment on What is Love? 1 week ago:
Love is evolved to better spread mindless DNA chemistry for the sake if it and survive as a social species more successfully than without.
What’s very interesting to someone as deeply cynical as I am is it hasn’t taken away from the feeling at all! Very potent stuff 💓.

You have the warmest lights in the land cast upon your newer foot things, it looks like a photo from the long ago which is a compliment.
Wiat who was approaching overweight is ̶s̶t̶a̶r̶v̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶d̶e̶a̶t̶h̶ not adjusting well to smaller portions and his food plate is hidden behind him. I guess it’s true what they say: Big shoes, big pussy.
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 2 weeks ago:
I buy Ecco brand, they last for eternity. These are 15 years old but I stopped wearing them every day 4 years ago and got new Ecco shoes with a modern styling….4 years ago so not anymore :) I keep the old ones around for painting the house or whatever.
I think the leather orthopedics have fused with the shoe and have shrunk drastically, so if I try to remove them it’ll kill the patient.

Disclaimer I’m not responding as if I think I’m the arbiter of truth it’s just for “fun” thought experiments.
I think their current focus is with Alberta and funding the fringe separatist movement there with the support and rigging of the system traitor Smith and the Wildrose faction of the worst political party merger since the CPC federally. Fuck you, Jason Kenney. Their polling is trending down, but idk we got years of suffering to go to see if NDP can eek out a win with a centrist NDP as it will be under Nenshi. It hinges on Calgary, gods save us all for that’s always a let down historically.
Since Pierre lost that is. Reset the 4 year timer and they’ll try again federally. If they (Republicans, their media empire Carney does nothing about, or their dark money) get Alberta to separate then IMO USA will annex it. 51st state talk is mostly just inflammatory words meant to catch headlines, for now. I mean these are meth head nazis so there’s a lot of winging it and reactionary decisions.
As an aside, fascist parties in U.K., Germany, and France all are polling high as well. Don’t be surprised if all this tough talk bravado from Europe craters into the ground if those dipshits vote Nazi and fracture Europe before we get the chance to fuck our own ass here at home.
Something stinky going on in Quebec too but I’m not very knowledgable about that situation yet.
So Canada in its entirety will be 1 state? And I assume all of Greenland will be a 52 state?
I think the provinces would just name swap to states instead of province/territory, but that’s not based on anything other than not taking them so literally.
How many electoral college votes does Canada get?
Zero is my bet. Their other auxilery nations like Puerto Rico for example. Except they probably aren’t going to have legitimate elections ever again anyways if they don’t outright just cancel them entirely. They wouldn"t want us voting Democrat.
I don’t know much about Greenland but I’m sure the same applies to them.
Well it’s only 58,000 population minus whoever they kill invading theoretically so idk.
How is that flag going to look? Actually that last one’s a stupid question it’ll just be trumps face.
Something like theirs perhaps.
- Comment on What was Saudi Arabia like during Ice Age? 3 weeks ago:
During the last glacial maximum 20/25ish thousand years ago that bit of land was even more arid and also colder as you’d expect. Very little evidence of habitable land outside of a few pockets in the south maybe going by this article:

- Comment on Is there anything of any interests for the tech bros in Greenland? 4 weeks ago:
No but in a couple hundred years, what do you think mainland USA will be like with the rammifications of climate change. I’m surprised more countries aren’t already gearing up to fight over the arctic and antarctic actually. When this shit really starts popping off, the poles will be 20’C average all year round.

Yes, but wouldn’t a fog machine full of cannabis extract be a much more pleasant way to hot box your house?
- Comment on How often do you change your towels? 1 month ago:
idk, after 4 or so uses. I have super dry skin so my towels never get stinky. I’m washing them long before I notice anything. Humidity being very low where I live also plays a part I"m sure.
Some of my towels may be older than me. I got a pile of hand-me-downs from my mother when I moved out and uh….I still use a few of them until they are dilapidated enough to become garage oil rags and then I buy a replacement. Nothing in my bathrooms matches!
Face towels are a different story. I replace them after a single real usage. Probably just as old though.
- Comment on Do you preorder games? 1 month ago:
If there are reviews out and I’ve looked at some raw gameplay from a streamer getting early access or something then I might pre-order mere hours away from release if there’s some benefit in doing so.
Otherwise absolutely not in the digital only age. Can’t run out of copies.
I don’t consider Early Access a pre-order. If I buy an unfinished game it’s because there’s enough content from my point of view at that asking price that even if the game never gets finished I’ll still be satisfied with my time/money spent.
I can’t play a pre-order.
