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

Israel has had a very loose criteria for military targets if you take a look at recent history. I think you bring up a major point.

Considering Netanyahu just said he would attack foreign aid for Palestine. Israel’s actions like the IDF sniping kids in convenience stores, and taking shots at the Japanese medical personnel during the cease fire of operation pillar of defense/cloud, and targeting media offices should call into question, what does Israel consider a military target?

You’re selling Lemmy short. Lemmy’s got beans, AND the 3 days no pooping.

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.

Reddit is trying to clean house and go public. They’ve proven they’ll get rid of mods already so it shouldn’t be about mods playing nice to avoid being replaced (there’s a good chance that’s going to start happening regardless sooner or later). I’d say it’s better to get the point across that reddit has a shit policies, a shit CEO, and is removing mods.

I understand that you see it as obey or be removed, but it’s going to another shittier alternative next time if reddit gets it’s way this time.

Reddit is already spinning it as a 6% drop that lasted less than 48 hours. They don’t care what a sub is doing, as long as it’s active it will be helping them in the long run.

I’d love to see a mass migration away from reddit and I think the most disruption possible should be in order. A mass walkout of mods and a some spam would do much greater damage than memes.
