where is the doom2.wad coming from?


Your purchased Doom copy of course ; ) (just search for it, come on, the top results give it to you - just like the search results for "how to run myhouse.wad")


I just purchased I and II from GOG, they're EXEs; i'm on a macos machine :'(


GOG's installers are made with InnoSetup, you can use a tool like InnoExtract to get the files out of them (source at https://constexpr.org/innoextract/ or in MacPorts/Homebrew).


IIRC they can be extracted using innoextract: https://github.com/dscharrer/innoextract

Needs to be used with the offline installer files from GOG


You can uh

find them on the internet.

I wont tell you that the record 2020_03_22_DOOM on archive.org has it. I can't confirm.


Or just use freedoom2.wad from the FreeDOOM project and rename it as doom2.wad


There's an encrypted copy on the Quake CD.

my gzdoom download had one included iirc.


VR is still not done is it?


a virtual world where you can buy and sell AI-powered cryptocurrencies. also, you don't have legs.


Nobody talking about kubernetes so maybe a new JS framework that's going to salvage the world.


In terms of being a popular hype train, VR was done a while back.


politicians and other shady individuals know how to use this to their advantage


why are you going so far though?

it's right there: "Meta"


Ha, yeah I had that thought after I posted.


I also thought you were just going to say "Meta" after the first sentence.


Notch of Minecraft fame is arguably richer than any actor has ever been.


why would your unity gamedev consulting be dead without this?

anything happening in this space?


Probably referring to the announcement of partnership with unity [1].

At least in my little corner of that world, Unreal has been gaining mindshare and market share pretty aggressively for the last five years. This is forcing me to start thinking about Unity again.


Economic downturn lead to unofficial freezing of contracts


anything before a "but" is bullshit

someone just offered feedback on their development experience for free, and all you can say is, "...are you so dumb you need an AI to help you with Docker?"


as long as there's any cost and no one else willing to support we'll have these services disappearing


had you done this before the API was closed you'd have had access to a bunch of tools that let you find twitter users on mastodon


a lot of smart people fell for Elizabeth Holmes charm and put their money on Theranos

for the purpose of this thread saying “Elon is fundamentally a dumb guy” is a statement of opinion, one that a growing number of people agree with


I tend to fall in the camp that a “fundamentally dumb guy” won’t be able to successfully start, grow and run Tesla and Space X.

Was buying twitter a mistake? Sure. Did he make dumb decisions when it comes to twitter? Yes. But IMO, that’s very different than labelling someone “fundamentally dumb”


Musk did not found Tesla.


this.

seems a lot of people confound funding and founding, he was one of Tesla's early funders, but he was not part of the team that founded it.

> he sank an initial investment of more than $6 million into Tesla, which was then not much more than a pair of founders and a vision of electric sports cars.

> So AC Propulsion CEO Gage suggested Musk speak with electric car start-up Tesla Motors, which was also looking to commercialize the tzero. Musk reasoned that by teaming up with another company, he could “have my cake and eat it too,” he said on the podcast – he could still run SpaceX but also pursue his passion for electric cars in his spare time.

> “I didn’t think it would be easy, but I thought maybe I could allocate 20 to 30 hours a week and just work on product engineering, and then other people could do the other stuff. I didn’t like doing the other stuff anyway,” Musk said.

It's not a statement of opinion, it's a bitter resentful raving.


okay
