What a great video about a 25 years old MMORPG called Dark Ages. Lovely pixel art and what seems like a welcoming and friendly community.

Apparently it is now also free to play for the first 99 levels.

I might have to leave my girlfriend if she keeps calling YouTube The Tube of You", and Facebook "The Book of Faces".

@dirkdierickx @8bitboyz There’s obviously also the financial aspect. My family sure wouldn’t be able to get more than one system. The late 70’s and 80’s were a very different time what with >10% inflation and interest rates in my country.

@8bitboyz I think we’ve matured and no longer engage in that kind of playground mentality. As #retrocomputing enthusiasts, I think most people can appreciate every system for what they are. A Commodore kid myself, I also have Spectrums and a couple of TI’s now, and enjoy playing with other systems on MiSTer. They are all lovely with their own quirks and strengths, but it’s okay that one system holds a special place in your heart.

Holy, holy shit. This is why you don't use LLMs. For anything. Ever.

Update: Getting some so-smart reply guys "explaining" how LLMs work. I KNOW THEY DON'T THINK. I know what they are, and that IS WHY I've always told people to stay away from them. This is just an amazing example I wanted to share. You don't need to explain anything to me or assume I'm an idiot who doesn't know what an LLM is or does.
k thx bye.

I try to keep politics out of this account as much as I can. But, right now, in light of the UK Supreme Court ruling, I am ashamed of being from the UK.

FWIW, whatever gender you are, I really don't care, but will treat you well and address you by whatever pronouns you prefer. Unless you're a bigot, in which case, don't expect to be treated well at all.

@kwramm @santiago I don’t think I have tried BeOS on it after I got the CPU card, but it sounds like I should. I actually did get it back then also for running BeOS, still have the CDs.

@sardaukar I don’t have a reliable dB meter, so no. I can say that before, it was rack server level noisy. I used it back then, but I could not today, it is uncomfortably loud, and it’s sitting right in front of you on the desk. It is by a wide margin the loudest computer I have owned.
It’s not completely silent now, a 60mm fan at 2100 RPM does make some noise, but it’s a massive improvement.

@kwramm @santiago Interesting! I have Linux on mine, and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t use the upgrade card.
