Just like Project 2025 ‘Wasn’t the plan’ until it was the plan.

I’ve been using 10 LTSC for a few months now, it works great with the few Windows-only apps I still use. I mainly use it to organize my media library, but it’s not had any problems with the few games I’ve installed with Kernel-level anti-cheat (Destiny 2, Delta Force)

I had to download the Xbox Accessories app to control my Elite controller, but that’s really it.

It was over 5 million by the end of 2020, actually

The slippery slope that projects taking this approach fall into boils down to ‘let’s put all our new features behind a business version and never add them to the community version until they become 2 totally different code bases’

Because nobody will stop them.

Treating them better than Fallout London’s devs got, for sure.

PA resident here. Shapiro is as left as left gets these days without being actively snuffed by the Democratic establishment, so naturally the right sees him as a plant for the deep state or whatever they’re calling ‘the ones we don’t like’ these days. Republicans have a healthy majority in State Congress here after the 2024 elections, and they are towing the party line and implementing Project 2025 despite resistance from constituents and the Governor.

Shout-out to Senator Doug “Literal Insurrectionist Traitor” Mastriano for being an all-around piece of shit, by the way.

Either way, this is a physical attack on the current political minority. Combine that with the timing (the first night of Passover), this has all the signs of an act of domestic terrorism.

The fact they’re not using that word right now, either they’re being abundantly cautious and just not ready to confirm that yet, or they are trying minimize the story because of who was involved and/or why it happened in the first place.

Hopefully he obeys the court order

I didn’t see nuffin

Keep the pressure on him. I wanna buy The Boring Company for $6 and a Hot Topic gift card

You think Elon actually does anything besides sign the check?

This whole circumstance just reminds me of COBOL. Nowadays you have scant few programmers for it, but the ones who do demand a big salary because it’s such old specialized technology and often they have decades of experience in it. There’s simply less COBOL programmers than there were in the languages heyday, and the ones trying to enter that market nowadays have a huge learning curve ahead of them.

The only reason most of these places that do that though, is because they wrote in COBOL to begin with decades ago, and didn’t want to switch away to something more modern as other languages gained functionality and popularity.

I doubt C is ever going to go the way that COBOL has, it’s too ubiquitous, but it does make one consider the language you write in and how compatible it may be not just with what exists today but what’s going to exist years from the creation of that code.

Call of Duty 3, World at War, Black Ops 1, Modern Warfare 3, and Black Ops 3 all have local split screen Co-op as an option

There’s technically a reason.

The OG Xbox version made by Bungie was ported to PC by Gearbox back in the day, and the port made some changes to the game in the process. More visual than gameplay oriented changes, but purists will say they ruined the game. The Gearbox port is what they built Halo Anniversary (the Xbox 360 remaster) and the TMMC version off of.

Ultimate Spider-Man scratched a very similar itch to Spider-Man 2 if you ever want more of that kind of gameplay.

Not a PS2 game, but the PS1 Spiderman games are not to be slept on either.

Actually did not know this. Truly sad to hear it. Guess I can’t get rid of my dusty PS2 just yet

Some good ones that are not yet mentioned

• Ribbit King is Golf game with frogs for balls which get strategically shot around a map littered with bonuses and obstacles. Players alternate shots and try to have the most points after both players reach the hole. It’s extremely cute and great local multi-player fodder
• Stuntman is tough as nails. You are a Hollywood stuntman pulling off increasingly complex stunts for movies being filmed. At the end of each shoot you get to see the movie trailer filled with clips of your own driving.
• Black is a big dumb loud shooter, and it has zero reservations or shame in that. That’s what makes it so much fun to play
• Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is excellent 3D brawling. Lord of the Rings: Return of the King is excellent 3D brawling with co-op
• Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy is a 3rd person shooter where you have guns and psychic powers you use in and out of combat.
