Re: Who gets a Wikipedia page?

Oh. Um. Err. I mean that War is on spot 0 of the list, of course. We start counting at 0.

As best as I remember, it is finished, but nobody knows how to make any use of it :(

Re: Who gets a Wikipedia page?

I forgot to mention that this so-called AI (more accurate: plagiarism and abuse generating machine) is currently positioned to become the MOST useless waste of energy and resources. You may think from my previous posts that spot would be reserved to using heavy boxes of steel to move single people a...

Re: Low FPS

Sorry for coming in late... The difference between big games (well, most games) and Armagetron is that other games use Direct3D or modern forms of OpenGL or Vulkan. We are using very old school OpenGL. Drivers that come with Windows automatically sometimes don't support that properly, you really hav...

Re: Who gets a Wikipedia page?

I don't participate in dick waggling contests, for fear of entanglement, obviously. Luke is a notable figure in Bitcoin, which hopefully* will be remembered as our second biggest complete waste of energy and computer hardware. Let him have that :) (*) the hope being that we won't find even stupider ...

Re: 0.2.9.2.3 released

I'm releasing a tiny update, 0.2.9.2.5. The main reason is that we need to update the PPA with current builds, because the ones that come from Ubuntu itself are (or were, I did not recheck) outdated and crash on start. It's .5 and not .4 because .4 failed to deploy to Itch because they retired their...

Ladle 172 - December 7th

A four team one again! Recordings for 0.2.9.2.X: My internet seemed to be a bit wonky. I have to remember to reboot the router before events. And I only recorded at 60FPS. round1_delidc_Redemption_vs_wtf.aarec 22876kb 2030s round1_nanunj_Paradigm_vs_etheric.aarec 15408kb 1717s round2_delidc_wtf_vs_e...

Free Agent Fortress Tournament (1, surely?)

Kronkleberry organized this for Sunday, the 16th of November 2025 as a replacement for Ladle this month. If I understand the process correctly, players registered over the period of a week, three captains were selected who then picked their teams from the pool. People quite liked it! round1_olive_vs...

No. That homepage is one very efficent design! Click one something... Boom! It loads immediately.
And that's king!
I agree there! But it would also be awfully nice if you could use the navigation items on a phone without zooming.

Re: Best or worst idea? Getting a Velotaxi/Rikshaw for private use

We ordered our Hopper thing last week! Sadly, both yellow and blue were vetoed by the ladies. Yellow looked too much like postal service things, blue was too dark. So light green it is. It'll be from the first proper production run, a bit cheaper than the first run, but still crazy expensive for a b...
