While I don’t know much about video cards, the IBM Monochrome Display Adapter (MDA) is often called the first video card and had a couple of contenders for first that were either designed earlier or released at almost the same time in 1981 and were all for displaying text only. The first GPU card sold to the public was the GeForce 256 in 1999. I’m assuming there’s some in between that were not really used by the public that would have been used in movies and whatnot.

The reason why nobody was selling GPUs before Quake was because quake was THE first 3D game. Doom and other games before Quake were 2.5D and didn’t have 3D models only sprites. Games before Quake essentially mimicked 3D while Quake IS 3D

I’m fairly certain that the left one is Combat Evolved

I’d argue that quake did far more for 3D graphics then it did for FPS. Like Doom is what got FPS into the spotlight even though Wolfenstein 3d came first. Like quake is pretty much what made real 3D possible and doable on the hardware of the time thanks to everything going on under the hood

Depending on when you do it it’s possible there could be very little resistance or security in your way in some hypothetical situations. For example let’s say a court order goes through for FB to release something from their servers, if an independent person with no ties to the company suddenly decided to go after the servers a less than ethical organization might see that as a golden opportunity to do whatever would allow that to happen while still getting them caught afterwards. I’m just having a fun thought exercise

No but that’s like a major red flag type of thing. I was wondering how they get away with that to begin with

All right it says in the wiki that this all kicked off because a kid was getting disciplined at school for something they did in their bedroom and no details are given about that part. That alone seems really messed up

I’m sorry that happened. People should be able to have a real discussion about issues without attacking common sense.

So in that case you would be the contrarian that this post is talking about. It’s almost as though critical thinking is good. Reactionaries may be the most vocal and abundant people on some posts, but that doesn’t mean they are right or willing to take a good look and discuss the topic at hand

This definitely falls into a lot of the same territory as most other gig work. A lot of the problems of the gig economy are showcased with jobs that pay like this. It lures in people who would be making $40-120 more in a week doing the same thing elsewhere

The big shift of people on ubi going from wage work to self employment being one of the biggest points of note from this study is interesting. That’s probably a major reason why most US lawmakers would not want ubi.

Something I find interesting is this study didn’t show an increase in hours worked unlike a couple of other smaller studies, that if I recall correctly focused on giving ubi to people who were not currently working.

I’m basically using a 2 stroke chainsaw motor and I get around 20 miles per liter on a 40-1 oil mix

AZ desperately needs one going in-between Phoenix and Flagstaff. Not that a route between Phoenix and Tucson isn’t good it’s just that there is so little options for going up north right now.

I have what is basically classified as a moped because I’m cheap and gas is expensive and I can get to Tucson from Phoenix in about an hour and a half longer than driving. I can’t even go north reasonably because the state says the option for crappier vehicles is some overlong scenic route that makes going from Phoenix to Flagstaff be an extra 100+ miles.

This is the first I’m hearing that Wolfenstein is not an fps. Why isn’t an fps?

Edit: The 1992 Wolfenstein 3d is definitely a first person shooter. The 1981 Castle Wolfenstein is not made by iD and is not a first person shooter. This article looks almost like it was made by chatgpt or someone putting in very little effort for it to be so off in the first sentence.

Just watch some Civvie 11 videos if you want to hear some history of FPS games and boomer shooters in particular.
