No. They like Pikachu with make-up on.

Hahaha! It is very recognizable. They say: "Mein leben! ", meaning "My life!". Basically screaming for their life.

You're in a Nazi prison, with a dead guard on the floor in front of you. You take his gun. Now you can fight your way out. This is the exciting premise of 1992's Wolfenstein 3D, developed by id Software and published as shareware by Apogee.

Now we all know Wolfenstein 3D was not the first FPS game ever made, or the first FPS id Software made, or even the first Wolfenstein game. But it's definitely one of the most foundational games for the first-person shooter genre, so all the more reason for us to finally check this one out for March, which is when we try to do a big blockbuster FPS game every year.

We have two guests joining Martijn ("Tijn") and Florian ("rnlf") for this episode. First of all long-time DGC veteral Bjorn ("TigerQuoll"), who not only joined the discussion on the forums for this month, but who also made a Wolfenstein 3D level pack for us all to enjoy! See the links below to get these. Also joining is first-time podcast participant Jake, for whom Wolfenstein 3D is one of their favourite games ever.

We also got two voice messages, one by watchful and one by Albrot. Thanks a lot for those! Also many thanks to DGC member console, who helped us again to edit this episode. All your support is much appreciated, we couldn't make this show without it.

Enjoy!

Very few games from 2005 were still 9x compatible.

I mostly played street fighter 2 and 4. I usually wait until I can buy the whole game before biting the bullet, since street fighter usually goes through an ultra super turbo edition phase. Recently bought 5 but haven't really played it yet.

This is (box) art from the game

Probably. I don't care.

One shot hit Mason's left thigh and the other struck his left thigh.

Proofreading is hard y'all.

I started, like many, with cookie clicker.

I love Trimps(Desktop) and Antimatter Dimensions(Desktop and Mobile)

Every once In a while when there's a new update I play Ctrl C again. It's a great time sink. Especially if you just repeat levels for the multiplier. And they even stack.

Those are some that stuck with me. I mostly play incremental games on my mobile these days, and non-p2w games are extremely rare. So I just keep hopping around.

Your skin is constantly shedding. The dust you can find In a house is mostly dead skin. Applying sunscreen could make it stick instead of fall off. If it's dry it could also be dust and sand in the air.

Try scrubbing before going sunbathing to see if it still happens then.

EDIT: It seems to have been fixed thanks to @[email protected]. Running analyze verbose; in postgres.

After updating to 0.19.5 from 0.19.3 my postgres is often using up 500%+ of CPU according to docker stats and often going to 100% CPU on most cores according to htop. Also noticed in the uptime monitor:

htop shows one of the 5 postgres processes constantly on UPDATE. I think this might be part of the problem.

I'm not comfortable with postgres and am honestly completely in the dark how or where to mitigate or even pinpoint this issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

We updated to 0.19.5. This was not as smooth as I had hoped, and due to that the page was offline for almost a day while I had to troubleshoot and figure out what went wrong.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused. But as far as I know, we are fully operational.

If there are any other problems, please let me know by sending me a private message, or putting it in the comments under here.

Thanks for your patience.

Happy 25th anniversary to the final version of Street Fighter III!

This game perfected the 2D tournament fighter genre, after first getting the crown with Street Fighter II. The advanced combo system and gameplay, smooth and detailed 2D sprite animation, and player roster size made this a fan favorite of the series.

Wikipedia Synopsis

"Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike - Fight for the Future"|ストリートファイターIII サードストライク ファイト・フォー・ザ・フューチャー is a 2D fighting game developed and published by Capcom, originally released in 1999 for the arcades and in 2000 for the Dreamcast. In 2004 it was released on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. A downloadable online version titled "Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Online Edition" was released on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade in 2011.

"Street Fighter III 3rd Strike" is the second and final follow-up to "Street Fighter III", following "Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact". Like its predecessors, it runs on the CP System III hardware."3rd Strike" increased the character roster by adding five new characters, notably including Chun-Li. It also added further refinements to the previous game's play mechanics and rules. The game was well received in all of its versions and has since been regarded as one of the greatest fighting games of all time. On 29 May 2018, "Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike - Fight for the Future" was released as a part of the "Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection" for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Steam, and Xbox One.

Happy 40th anniversary to the first game in the King's Quest series, one of the first graphical adventure games, and where Sierra really made their name.

This game also kicked off the Adventure Game Interpreter (AGI) engine, which Sierra used for many games. Wikipedia says: They employed it in 14 of their games between 1984 and 1989, before replacing it with a more sophisticated engine, Sierra's Creative Interpreter. There's no Wikipedia article for the SCI engine, but I know it was used in Phantasmagoria and Shivers, here is the ScummVM wiki page for SCI instead.

Wikipedia Synopsis

King's Quest: Quest for the Crown is an adventure game developed by Sierra On-Line and published originally for the IBM PCjr in 1984 and later for several other systems between 1984 and 1989. The game was originally titled King's Quest; the subtitle was added to the games box art in the 1987 re-release, but did not appear in the game.

It is the first official part of the long King's Quest series (not counting 1980's Wizard and the Princess), in which a young knight, Sir Graham, must save the Kingdom of Daventry to become the king. Designed by Roberta Williams, the game was revolutionary and highly influential in the evolution of the graphic adventure game genre by introducing more detailed graphics and animation.

An official remake titled King's Quest I: Quest for the Crown was released in 1990. An unofficial remake was released by Tierra Entertainment in 2001.

I've started replaying this recently, and it still hold up.

Only downside is that it's a bit slow. But with some snacks and drinks this is a great time killer!

Yippee!

After a user created half a dozen accounts in a span of 24 hours to "battle" a ban on a lemmy.world community, I'm regretting to inform that I have added an application questionnaire to the account creation process.

I want this instance to be a inviting and hassle-free home for any enthousiast of the retro kind. And unfortunately this means it's a little less accessible, and might take a bit before your account can be in use.

I will get to your application in due time, and will check regularly every day.

I hope this will catch trolls and obvious abusers more easily before they become a pain in the ass of the mods of communities.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

If you have any questions or complaints feel free to reply to this post or send me a message.
