To understand what's happening in Iran today, you have to know about the history of Western intervention in the country.

In the early 1900s, the British secured oil rights in the country until 1993, where they only agreed to pay Iran 16% of the total profits.

This was seen as an unfair deal. 🧵

Eles não entendem nada, né?

The original Doom is locked at 320x200, I think you're mistaking things.

I meant 640x400 @30fps on Flight Simulator 5.0 specifically, not in general. On limited colors & frame rates, some of these cards go to like 1600x1200

For reference, flying over Paris in Flight Simulator 5.0 looks like this in SVGA Sparse.

Most cards in that list did around 15 FPS here

Here's a cut down version with just the cards and their framerate on Flight Simulator 5.0 - the game was about 1 year old at the time.

I imagine @dachsjaeger.bsky.social and @dark1x.bsky.social would enjoy this, if they haven't seen it yet.

Kept thinking about the resolution people would be using Windows at in 1995 and found this CGW graphics card benchmark from Dec 1994!

Interesting how they write about using a Flight Simulator 5.0 demo + a special driver to be able to see the framerate. And how most cards can't do 640x400 @30fps lol

Yup, there's a nice pre-packaged DOSbox setup here: rpgcodex.net/forums/threa...

I just added Mordor 1.1 and a few other stuff myself

obama bombed libya without congressional approval also

don't any of you amoral cheerleaders have memories at least

Worse than shrugging, the Western leaders are condemning Iran for daring to strike back...

Canada condemns Iran's retaliatory attacks Justin Li Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said in a statement that Canada "strongly condemns the attacks of the Iranian regime against our partners in the Middle East." Anand further urged Canadians in Iran to shelter in place and said Ottawa will "provide all possible support to Canadians throughout the region." Canada currently has no diplomatic relations with Iran, nor does it have an embassy there.

The United States and Israel have the right to bomb and murder whoever they please.

The countries they attack have no right to fight back.

This is the exact double standard on international law Mark Carney was praised for calling out at Davos, but which he continues to participate in.

Magazine ad for the game Caesar II. It says "CARPE DIEM (seize this game)".

You can feel the struggle here... they wanted to make this pun but writing CARPE LUDUM would make it inaccessible lol

Tem um site de uma galera tentando preservar essa história lá: taaribat.blogspot.com

Curto muito ver as capinhas XD

Maravilhoso preservar essas dublagems feitas por fãs. É algo ainda sendo feito, importante pra tornar games acessíveis.

E novamente, é algo compartilhado com o resto do 3o mundo. Pro meu livro to falando com uns árabes q fazem o mesmo - olha o Kleiton Bom de Guerra da Síria
youtu.be/lSE8sDPVy3A?...

"Bombardear Irã em meio a negociações, eqto deixa Cuba passar fome, eqto comete genocídio contra palestinos, eqto ameaça invadir Groenlândia. EUA e Israel representam a maior ameaça à humanidade, e nem se compara a outros países. Somos forçados a viver no pesadelo que eles criam"

Mordor is a game that I associate with Windows XP, so it's interesting to play it on Windows 3.1, where it was first released.

While a bit crammed, it works surprisingly even well at 640x480 (which I imagine was the most common in 1995)

So... Exile III on Windows 3.1 or Mac OS9?

And yet, the UK usually joins these wars...

Frustrating how passive most Americans are about their country being the world's biggest threat. War to them is purely a moral issue, they know no US city will suffer retaliation from Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, etc...

And if it ever happens, it will be 9/11 again - they'll likely go 200% fascist

US AND ISRAEL ATTACK IRAN Multiple explosions heard in Tehran, elsewhere, as Israel launches attacks on Iran with US help.

The world's two rogue states, Israel and the USA, have started a war not against Iran but against the whole world. We stand with Iranians, with Humanity, against the notion that Israel and the US can bomb anyone their fancy takes them to bomb. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

O 9 teve, mas o Origins não tem português não

Mas o Z-A saiu ano passado e não teve tradução, não?

After 31 years, Nintendo will finally do a mainline Pokémon game in Portuguese!

I'm happy but also surprised, didn't expect this just as consoles & games are becoming more expensive and inaccessible... curious about the business logic behind this.

A touching, must-watch video.

O primeiro mesmo, Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition.

É foda q realmente é um dos melhores Musous já feitos.

Eu posso preferir outros por terem uma ambientação & personagens q curto mais, mas o gameplay e a quantidade de conteúdo nesse são incríveis.

É super simples, peguei um pacote pre-instalado, é dois cliques pra rodar: rpgcodex.net/forums/threa...

Thought about it because I'm playing around with Windows 3.1

As normal people usually do

Pipe Dream/Mania is from 1989.
Bioshock is from 2007.

Bioshock is now older than Pipe Dream was when Bioshock was released lol

Yup. Even Diablo II usually scores low in the polls there.
