This reminded me to check up on these guys: https://github.com/rwengine/openrw [External Link]
It's an open reimplementation of the GTA III-series engine; but they've been making *really* slow progress over the past 5-6 years.

Well, I'm extremely impressed.

one thing - Let's hope the a-holes at Bethesda won't try to shut this down.
another thing - It's pretty amusing that while the next 'modern' DOOM will be trying to revive the original monster designs, this mod puts all the new designs back into the old game.

Quoting: ElectricPrismI can compile the kernel in minuets

Now that would be interesting to see.

'see'? No, hear! A minuet is for the ears; e.g., this one [External Link].

A minuet is composed for and named after a type of dance. :)

Yeah but a dance isn't just for the eyes, is it? Err... (Yeah a silly oversight; especially considering that I've written a few minuets myself, aeons ago.)

Quoting: Eikebut they're not famous for their narratives, are they...?

Still, worth a look.

They do take the overall context-setting narrative very seriously though. Sure, in each game the story doesn't dictate how the individual puzzles work; but the experience of solving that sort of puzzle makes a lot more sense given the setting (including all the text you have to read (the manuals, the 'zines')), & the minimal plot.

Quoting: rustybroomhandle2.8 is the result of a dedicated effort to improve the usability of the app for both new and veteran users. Now, if only we could get the same treatment for GIMP (along with a name change).

Why a name change though? 'GIMP' is perfectly fine.

Spoiler, click me

I mean, CJ would definitely agree.

In the demo video, examples of everday usage start at around 30 minutes.
I've no idea what this would be like for extended reading & writing sessions; but it does look pretty intriguing.
