Of all the RTS games I could've picked for a "quick" pre-sleep match (Blizzard, C&C, AoE), I specifically chose Empire Earth 2.
Big mistake.
2 hours later, the game is finally done and I am incredibly late for bed.

It would be cool if for some miraculous circumstances, #gog is able to acquire or have rights to republish #westwood #dune RTS games. Unfortunately, it's close to impossible maybe... #retrogaming #retro #retrocomputing #oldschool

Back in 2013, WebSockets were the "new" thing. I spent so much time building PHP polling fallbacks for browsers like IE9. This screenshot of my Windows 7 desktop with four browsers open for testing is peak old-school dev life. #BringsBack #Developer #RetroComputing #PHP #WebDevelopment

#Throwback to my #Linux #Ricing in 2014 with #KDE4.
Running on a SiS Mirage 3 iGPU was a nightmare but is still possible. Driver was available on some obsure site (now someone uploaded it on Github). Certainly, brings back memories.

The world building in #Albion is fascinating even from its time. The Iskai's plant-based technology, culture and traditions made them feel truly alien.
Walking into Jirinaar for the first time remains one of my favorite moments in gaming.

Clair Obscur is your 2025 #GOTY! Well deserved, #SandfallInteractive.
It’s ironic thinking back on #SquareEnix saying turn-based RPGs have no market. First #BG3, now #Expedition33 proving them completely wrong.
The players have spoken.

Looks like several sites are down today due to ongoing Cloudflare issues. I’ve had to temporarily disable the CDN on my personal site to bypass the problem and get back online.

Look closely in the background: the "BOON/TOBIAS" sign.
That's not the only thing to look out for. Someone is about to get uppercutted onto the tracks. A true classic.

Remember when games came complete?
Mortal Kombat: Deception had over 400 unlockables. Costumes, videos, even entire characters... all earned in-game, not bought. This was long before the age of DLC.

One of my favorite things in Ultima V, aside from the great story, is the journey into the Underworld. It's a shame not everyone could enjoy the amazing soundtrack back then, but thankfully there are more ways than one to get that music into the game now 😉

Installed one of GOG's mods for #Diablo1 called Beelzebub which provides "hd resolution support". Immediately tested it on my Surface Pro's 2880x1920 resolution and here is the result 🤣
