Games@lemmy.world•"Good luck today, Halo friends": After years of rivalry, Call of Duty's creators have taken charge of Xbox's defining FPS series amid yet more layoffsEnglish
11·1 day agoFun fact: Campaign Evolved is technically the third remake.
Bungie was originally a Mac exclusive game company when they were bought out by MS. Halo was almost complete at that point and had to be ported to DirectX. The original PowerPC edition got a release eventually as well as an updated Universal Binary version that, due to the MacBook Air, is the only game I know of to have an official no-CD patch.

5·2 days agoCareful, one of these assholes will show up and start saying that because you don’t like being inundated with Reddit reposts that clearly you want Lemmy to die.

Political Memes@lemmy.world•Low key want some stickers like this to put on gas pumpsEnglish
7·2 days agoSpeak for yourself, I drive a small Toyota and $50 for a tank is still more than I can spare.
Fun fact: The first Nvidia chip, the NV1, used quadrilaterals for primitives rather than triangles because it was based on and somewhat compatible with the Sega Saturn. However around the same time MS announced that DirectX would exclusively support triangle primitives and the rest was history.
I’m pretty sure it’s the same as those tiny milk bottles that look just like the gallons, these are just based off the larger jugs they used to use.

Technology@lemmy.world•Raspberry Pi is intentionally blocking RAM capacity upgradesEnglish
4·2 days agoFor what it’s worth the original point of the Pi was to recreate the experience of the Commodore 64 or BBC Micro where they came with huge manuals with ample examples and were more or less bare hardware for cheap. Taking that metaphor all the way is how we got the 400 and 500.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Texas mother arrested after giving away 1-month-old baby to a stranger at a bus stopEnglish
8·3 days agoThere are people in Texas who would literally want this young woman punished for “not choosing a better father“. People are huge assholes and everything is bigger in Texas.

science@lemmy.world•To read 2,000-year-old burned scrolls, scientists burn their ownEnglish
3·3 days agoThe article says they sourced “traditional lampblack ink”. I would assume that it’s pretty similar to what they were using elsewhere at the time.
But you are right, the article also gave the impression that the vast majority of the scrolls would have been using carbon ink.

Dull Men's Club@lemmy.world•Became bored during family gathering. Convinced son to go on a short walk by stating "Perhaps we find some mushrooms". Well...English
8·3 days agoIt’s hard to tell but it seems like OP might be from Europe where mushrooms are just generally less likely to kill you than North America. Unfortunately it happens every year or so here where an immigrant who is used to foraging has no idea that we are the Australia of mushrooms and gets very sick or worse.

Political Memes@lemmy.world•whats so great about hoarding wealth?English
1·18 days agoBillions of dollars isn’t useful. They can’t possibly spend all their money in their lifetime even buying megayachts and shit.

Political Memes@lemmy.world•whats so great about hoarding wealth?English
0·18 days agoIt does matter. That’s why we are talking about it.

Something tells me these companies will just default to giving Seattle the largest price then.
