I think it's because 3dfx cards are pure rasterizer. They only have to deal with textures and texture-related jobs. As such, it's quite easy to split the load evenly between both cards using odd and even lines. nVidia cards, on the other hand, are full-fledged GPUs. They also have to process …

My cousin passed away last Tuesday. She was still young, about the same age as me, but she was suffering from diabetes, and it led to further complications. Suffice to say that her mother, my aunt, didn't take it well, so this Saturday we took her out in an attempt to alleviate her grief. Well, our …

Anyway, this is the first IBM compatible game I've ever played. Try listening to the music for the entire length of the video, I dare you. It stuck with me for decades, albeit not as annoying as D.R.A.G.O.N Force intro on the previous post. https://i.postimg.cc/Nf2mGMX0/9054-digger-pc-booter- …

The intro music of D.R.A.G.O.N Force (starting from the minute 2:23 in the video), albeit not in the good way, since I found it very annoying. Ironically, I actually love the game. For some reason I just love "real-time-with-pause" mechanics for squad level combat. Anyway, the video above is not …

I don't care how realistic the graphics are; as long as they still fall into "Mexico in American movies" trope, then the graphics still suck.

Nobody would be foolish enough to connect a PC directly to their cable modem without using a router. Or a least even Windows XP's "built-in" firewall.

About... ten years ago I was supposed to restore a huge Oracle dump file to a new server. The dump file was stored in an external hard drive, and the server was located right under the KVM switch (which is slightly under chest-level), with nothing else beneath it down to the rack floor. So I have to …
