Slack and Teams have emoticons for reactions which serve the same purpose.

Internal forums are older than Slack. What’s so novel about Nintendo’s approach?

Estimates put it around 13 million sales on Steam alone. Say another 5 million from console sales combined to a guesstimate around 18 million.

Manage your own church. Perform baptisms, hear confessions, collect donations, oversee weddings and funerals, rape altar boys, sell souvenirs, and customize your church. Manage the church’s economy and work to expand your church.

Yeah, it was a pretty sweet run and gun in the mid 90s. Its best feature was mouse-aim since it wasn’t a console game.

I remember people saying that it was like Doom back in the day but I think that came from the fact that it was made by some ex id developers and that Doom/Quake, at the time, were really stand-out in that they supported the mouse (I swear it was only adventure games that were really making use of the mouse).

Shooting was a keyboard thing. And yeah, Doom was widely played on keyboard, it was designed for a mouse to be used too (said so in the manual).

Another thing is the game has health packs, ammo, weapon switching, etc which was very “Doom” but today you’d just see them as standard aspects of any shooter.

There’s a reason, for a long time before we called them First/Third Person Shooters, we called them “Doom-likes”.

Having a dog helped me really get to know lots of people in the area when I moved home to somewhere totally new to me. Having a really friendly and safe dog breed makes you immediately so much more approachable, an ice breaker conversation (the dog), and a regular opportunity to meet the same people out and about.

If you’re in a situation where a dog is a good choice, I’d really recommend it.

It was easier when everyone competing and judging spoke Greek.

You can just move the modifier keys around. I have Caps Lock as Ctrl and Ctrl as CMD.

Yeah we’ve been going by primary-secondary where I am for the just 6 to 7 years now but I don’t think a universally agreed replacement for the terms exists yet.
