The human retina, when dark adjusted can pick out a single photon, camera sensors lose single photons in thermal noise, unless you do a long enough exposure that that one spot where a single photon keeps appearing gets brighter than the rest. So that part is still to come. The rest though, phone …

I don't know anything about photography, and I am content to stick with my phone's camera, but since people in this thread know about the subject, then can anyone tell me how close we are to having idiot-proof cameras? I mean cameras where you don't need to understand and alter any settings or …

to judge from the screen shots and preview video You can even play the old, unfinished DNF release now. It does look pretty good and I'd still play it if it was fully released in this day and age. REMOVED Yes, I am waiting until that project is finished and can be full played through before I play …

Speaking as a Duke Nukem 3D/Blood/Ion Fury fan, I really wish that 3D Realms had either stuck with the Build engine for Duke Nukem Forever, or stuck with another then current game engine, instead of changing the game's engine multiple times to chase ever better graphics. Imagine if DNF had come out …

If they bothered to give a good explanation on *HOW* the under-sea city was built with 1950's technology, that would've made all the difference. But either it's not there, or I missed it completely. I'm really good about letting things like that go, though, and still enjoy what's there. No, there …

Are you mainly into single player games? I think most of the nostalgia for Quake has to do with the deathmatches people used to play. I found the single player fun at the time, but not groundbreaking. That's a good point, and yes, I mostly play single player games. But even so, I can't recall …

i gave up on NOLF in the mission where you're aboard an aircraft, it breaks up and you have to catch up with someone mid air while fending off attackers Yes, that level should be great, but instead is pretty tedious. Falling out of a plane, and having to steal a parachute from a falling enemy, how …

You'll enjoy NOLF2 more, it's a more refined game. Although I loved NOLF1 immensely. :) I second that. Btw NOLF is one of the games that are oänot available from any game stores last I checked. Something to do with the licencing. I also prefer NOLF 2 to the original game. Meaning that there are …

On my laptop (i5 CPU with an Intel HD 4000) Ion Fury can't run at full screen/full speed natively, but using eduke runs the game at full speed in the laptop's wide-screen mode (1366 x 768), so I imagine (when GOG finally starts selling Aftershock) that I will need to use eduke32 there too. eduke, …

st Anyway, whenever I start to get bored with what I'm playing, it's always fun to scan through my Steam library and install a handful of games to try out. I've got all my games categorized by genre, which makes it a bit easier to find something that seems interesting. I've seen people online …

Already did 🙂 Finished Prey (2017) . Didn't impress me: I liked the graphics, apart from the human models, the level design and the atmosphere, but gameplay-wise I didn't enjoy it too much. I played on Hard, so it makes sense that it's difficult, but the enemies are too OP: they are bullet sponges, …

After Unreal, I will play System Shock 2 on the same build. For playing the fantastic System Shock 2, I would normally suggest using the bug-fixes, gameplay balances, and graphical upgrade mods listed here: https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=4447.0 SCP (Shock Community Patch) is especially …

Probably everyone knows this, but there are excellent fan-made Windows games engines for the most popular build engine games, with better mouse control, widescreen and high resolution support, and other modern enhancements. https://lerppu.net/wannabethesis/ has 32 and 64 bit engines for Blood , D …

Been replaying Wolfenstein 3D using ECWolf. So far I'm halfway through Spear of Destiny, and I'm not sure what I'll do after that. Maybe I'll play through Return to Castle Wolfenstein again. You need to play Real RTCW. It's RTCW, the way it was meant to be played. The content from the console …
