My Xbox One wireless adapter works great on Debian, with xpadneo

Then which country am I speaking to?

I like Read You. It integrates nicely with FreshRSS, too.

Shared goal? Shared with whom?

It wouldn’t really. Hand-drawn sprites are pretty standard even today - whether they’re hand-pixelled (Stardew Valley) or frame-by-frame animation (Spiritfarer).

Most things in Doom, if we’re counting photos!

The characters and environments in Fallout and JA2 are basically still frames (sprites) of 3D models at specific angles. They were rendered once on a powerful development machine, and converted to sprites for our lowly Pentiums and Voodoos.

If you think it’s an unregulated mess now, take a look at the home computer scene in the mid-80s. Absolute wild west, dude.

Lots of the best games were prerendered! Donkey Kong Country, Fallout, Jagged Alliance 2, Duke 3D, the Pro Pinball games, just to name a few.

I do have a soft spot for prerendered graphics.

Yes, where they put the superior Amiga screenshots on the back of your ZX Spectrum game

Damn.

Diversity, equality, and inclusion. All very terrible things, as you can see…

Oh yes, I keep forgetting about that. Must give it a try sometime.

Mario & Rabbids Kingdom Battle was a rare gem from Ubi. Other than that, their best “recent” game is probably Rayman Legends, and that’s like a decade old now

…I managed to do the same too, just trying to scroll up on a question, and despite having read both these comments.

Starting to think it’s a ‘them’ problem

Nice, they’ve gone from early PS2 graphics to late PS2 graphics!

(to clarify: I think this is good)

A video game that happens to get big updates every so often…? Call 'em expansion packs if that makes life easier

Brilliant article - but it looks like it’s now been removed. Would be impressive if someone at Dotpe got wind in such a short space of time…

Show us a better solution.
