Quoting: NociferI can't wait for the moment when it will be a "no-brainer" for gamers to build their über gaming PC with an AMD CPU and an Intel discrete GPU. Oh how the tides turn.

What about the security aspect as some instances are pushing these "convenient" ways to install stuff? The authors of these packages cannot automatically be trusted and confirmed, so on. The software pulled from this "Arch style repo" are not sandboxed like snaps and flatpaks can be :huh:

Classic freeware shooter 'AssaultCube' is making a comeback

Quoting: BielFPsI remember playing this in in the college computers and seeing how awesome was to run it directly through a pen drive.

I wish the new team could overhaul the characters skin, guns and map are ok but the characters visual are awful and I think this contribute to this game not having any relevance back them.

Nowadays I don't think PC people will care about this game (judging from the lack of commentaries here for example) but If they release a Android version (without ads of course) on playstore, this could get some new players attention.

and of course, a update to a new SDL version is always welcome in any game.
Oh yeah, and change that license! Why not 100% freedom at this point? Or make it proprietary 'n closed all the way then bah ...

Wait, the site says "ZDoom" now, not GZDoom. The project's name has shortened up or some?

Quoting: DuncIf they had any sense, they'd encourage these projects and package the new engine with future sales of the games.
That's right! But as some wiser people have pressed all along, investigating this "civilized" world model we live in now: "It's not so much about the money. It's about CONTROL."
