codes a desktop OS specific program coded in C just to spite you

To be honest I absolutely hate everything being a browser app.

Goes out partying in the late 90's.
Stimulants were taken.
All my friends were wacked out. I got home and did chores.
So much coffee and cigarettes. My coding time was fueled by them.
I actually have a harder time sleeping without coffee, as the coffee quiets my brain a bit.

Age 43: diagnosed AuDHD.
Psychiatrist: so I'm guessing you have an affinity for stimulants.
Me: Ohhhhhhhh! That explains things.

Now I have a Concerta prescription, and can function like never before.

These games were how I got into 3D modeling.
Making custom maps and assets and playing them for Doom 1&2, Quake 1&2, Quake 3 Arena, UT2014.

These games had such great longevity because you could make your own new content or get it from others.

The game you bought was just the beginning.

Also the base games were wicked fun to begin with.

Watch them not implement the per-resource password access properly.

Yeah man. What the hell!? Just going and making a nice app that works well.

What an ass.

That makes more sense than my initial take for sure.

Oof. They got me.

I guess my congrats go to you.

Of the many grievous faults of Windows to pick on, file system permissions like this are not one.

As admin you have permission to change ownership and override permissions. And a relic copy of the OS folder is going to have some of the most restrictive permissions possible.

I would expect similar behaviour on any modern OS.

Re-watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer with my kids in new hi-def, and you can clearly and easily see the stunt doubles now, and the SFX look really dated now that you can see them clearly.

It's amazing what old CRTs would let you get away with.
