@GamingBot oh no! In hindsight it looks like all those #AI tokens weren't worth paying for, nor were the 14 layers of management but who could have thought so amirite?

@BrikoX cool stuff! I'm not very interested myself but good on them for everything they managed to achieve so far!

@Naho_Zako and btw fuck this stuff that in order for something to be cool and "manly" it has to conform to the Hollywood style or else it's childish or gay or both. It's nothing but propaganda and marketing

@Naho_Zako by the sound of it I agree with your mother then! FF15 was impressive technically, the way camera simulated exposure when moving from a dark place to a bright one for example. However FF7 with its pencil-sharpner-shaped hands and pre-rendered backgrounds was still more expressive, had more atmosphere than the technologically stunning new stuff

@other_cat "We just understand, unlike the dolts voting this into legislation, that the responsibility is with the parents not with the overreaching governments" disheartening to see how people still believe the propaganda

@wopalopa @GamingBot when the demo of FF15 came out I was so excited about it I bought the spinoff FF game just to get the demo. The spinoff game was supposed to be good but imho it was another mess of weird royals, gunmen, chocobos that didn't fit and a story so convoluted and names so weird I was forgetting them 3 seconds after reading the dialogues

@wopalopa @GamingBot they abandoned the fun battle mechanics and deep storytelling a while back, it's all graphics now. Graphics is a lot of work, a lot. I remember zero from FF15, except the up and down with the damn car, I remember even less from FF13 and have skipped FF16 entirely

@A_Random_Idiot well for example Alpha Centauri and even Civ 2 were really easy for me. I used wine without any wrappers, I simply set an older Windows compatibility version in winecfg. StarCraft also worked easily though I wasn't able to set it to full screen properly on Wayland and had to re-login into Xorg for it. Let's see if OP provides us with more details

@noumenon it depends on how old! Are you talking Windows 95 old or Dos old? Either way, step 1 I suggest is to start from Linux. Step 2 depends on your answer to the above :)

@reseller_pledge609 sounds like the average Twitter user then. A good candidate for a block

@ZippyBot what do you mean? And how is that related to gaming?
