Are you implying doom is not palatable? It's a matter of taste, but of all the old FPS games, Doom is one of the most replayable in my opinion. Even without nostalgia goggles. The gameplay is tight, the weapons are timeless. The only thing that dates it other than the obvious graphics, is the level design can be a little tedious.

Any "boomer shooter" is a callback to the 90 early 00s shooters. For example: Dusk, Postal: Braindead and Warhammer 40k: Boltgun

Lots of indie horror games have the early 3d era look to them.

Basically if you want visuals like this, the indie scene is where you should look

I mean, it's not like congress is very much anti-war. It just saves time.

Because you've brought up France.

Are you sure? Let's compare gun violence in France with a country with opposite gun laws, like the united states.

Gun laws will never stop all gun violence. But it sure does reduce it a whole lot. Just look at Australia. They banned guns after a big shooting, and guess what? Gun violence went down. I wonder if it might be correlated.

I like star trek, and I like R-movies. I don't know if they will mix well.

It shows up on my instance.

He makes video essays on YouTube, and he recently did a lengthy essay about plagiarism on YouTube. Now it's kind of a meme to add sources to everything you put on YouTube.

It's probably the comfortable mouth shape from their native tongue. If you ever try to speak a language fluently you'll notice that your mouth is not used to these shapes and fatigue will set in eventually.

I've noticed this myself when I was in America. After using the language 24/7 my mouth would start to cramp up, and falling back to my native mouth shape made the cramps less. I pride myself on my English pronunciation, and cringe when I hear other people from my country speak English, but I understand where it comes from.

Life's all downtime when you look at it.

I swear I'm not refreshing lemmy every chance i get...

Sounds like it wouldn't be a bad thing archiving it somehow. A lemmy archive of sorts. For preservation. Not saying my instance has a lot of value, but linux questions, fixes for games etc on the lemmyverse as a whole. It could be text only, so it doesn't have to take up an exorbitant amount of storage.

Federation is a double edged sword imo. The data might be valuable to some in the future, like reddit is if you have a problem, there often is a thread about it. But being that most servers are self-hosted, the data can dissappear more easily than a big corporation hosting it. But I rather take it. For the support Foss and for cutting ties to big corporations.

I'm not sure if, for instance, I stop hosting my server, if the community data is archived on other servers. I'm not a programmer.
