Quoting: Cyba.CowboyFor those not in Australia or New Zealand, Māori People and Kiwis have a very, uh, "unique", way of pronouncing certain words, largely due to their accent... Which Australians love to pole fun at, in part because of the never-ending rivalry we have with our friends "across the bay".
For a continent that might as well have a giant "No Fat Chicks" bumpersticker on it. I've always found it ironic that the Aussies call the Kiwis hicks.

Fuck Warner Bros. Discovery and their CEO. That's all I gotta say about the Adult Swim part of this.

Quoting: LamuNobody's in favour of these goofy, overbearing 'covenants' (as cultlike as it sounds).
Any normal person is. The only people usually not in favour of them are the exact type of assholes they aim to keep away. It's utterly daft to be against such simple rules. Too many people turn into keyboard warrior idiots.
Thank you for saying this. I was waiting for someone to criticize it in the comments the moment I read the title of the article. While "covenant" might come off as an odd word to use, it's exactly as you said and then some. If people don't like rules of civility, then GTFO. Projects are better off without you and your ilk.

I'd rather just play the knockoff CastleMiner Z [External Link]. That was one of the best XBLIG on the Xbox 360 apparently and it's still good on PC too.

I like this. Physical backups are still important. 👍

DOOM + DOOM II enhanced versions get Steam Deck Verified

I tried playing these with a controller again (on my Switch). Literally unplayable. It's one thing to use a 6-button Genesis/Mega Drive controller on the 32X version, but I really can't see playing them with a modern controller. Playing on GZDoom and using keyboard and mouse are just so much better to me.
