  • Windows 3.1 doesn't even come with a TCP/IP stack. It's actually pretty safe.

  • Double Dragon 3D revival announced for PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Xbox One, and PC
  • I guess it was early? I was released before most classics in the genre.

  • Your first anime show/film
  • I remember watching Totoro as a child not knowing it was an anime. Later I watched The Guyver (1989 OVA) on VHS at my cousin's. Evangelion and Lodoss War were the first fansubs I watched knowing they were Japanese.

    As we used to say.

  • Arrowhead initially planned to make Helldivers 2 in 3 years—instead it took 7 years, 11 months, and 26 days
  • Likely a lot of time was spent iterating and experimenting with different ideas, testing out concepts, tweaking, etc. Haven't played the game but I do work as a software developer.

  • Linux and DOOM (1993)
  • Carmack actually developed Doom on NeXTSTEP, not Linux. The windows and DOS ports were not released as open source, due to copyright issues concerning the sound library. So they released the source of the Linux port instead. I don't think it made much of a difference in practice since it was a fairly popular game even before that.

  • Help needed choosing a good pair of noise cancelling earphones
