The issue is most recording software uses what is sort of known as a 'stereo mix' which basically captures all audio a system outputs and receives, this way you can record microphone input and game audio without trouble. Most people have to turn down their game audio and increase microphone gain whe...

Although this was released a month ago, I forgot to post about it here. Few people check these forums, but it does get its fair share of search traffic, so why not? The latest level in the Omens series is available now. Although I have tested the level multiple times (in both singleplayer and multi...

Release thread: https://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=96379.0 I kinda saw this coming since someone reached out to me a few weeks back about TI, but here it is! Act 1 is finally out... Black Wolf handed the project over to a new team, which IMO was probably the right choice. Sadly none o...

Given the current collapse of the tourist industry, airline industry and several other sectors due to coronavirus, it has got me thinking about this guy named Simon Sinek I met a few years ago who talks about the 'infinite game' in business. It seems none of these industries have really done any lon...

Well there are timestamps, they are in the description or posted in the comments. I don't think I have time to make that many out-takes. I'll have to think about it. To the second point, well yes and no. I've started saving streams on Twitch as 'Hunter's Hangar' when I record the raw footage, those ...

Not at all. I was cleaning the spammers from the colonyborn thread (there were about 10 of them) and somehow I accidentally nuked the OP (protonjump). I probably have a backup somewhere, I'll see if I can restore it..

This is a casual, blind play-through of Quake II on Linux using the Yamagi port. Overall I enjoyed this game about as much as the first one, although I wouldn't rate it quite as highly. For some reason the developers moved away from the lovecraft-horror style of the original game and went for a more...

Ok, I've nuked all the spammers I could find (accidentally nuked a real user in the process, doh..)

Registration is now invite only, so new members can only be approved by asking me directly or getting a referral from an existing user.

I'm thinking of closing the door to this place. It seems the only new users are just spam bots (or spam people it would seem, since the signup is a question & answer format). I won't close the forum, since I still have some uses for it, and it does contain a lot of archived posts. But I don't really...

Dual boot has its own set of problems.. especially when used with Win10. Personally I would avoid it, it probably will result in headaches. My advice would be to setup a Linux VM and get the hang of it first. Mint is very easy to use and designed like a Windows environment, but there are some learni...

For XP no as it's a hacked version and doesn't connect to the net - mainly due to ease of installation and use, though I do have an XP key somewhere. But for Win7 I'm still using the product keys that came with old computers. The issue is one of them has decided to stop working (likely due to hardwa...

Yeah that tracks with project releases too - you get 1-10% of the playerbase reacting and providing feedback and the remaining percentage only leave a trace on the server logs.

Happy New Year, lurkers.

I stopped using Windows after I departed from Win7. I never liked Win8, and Win10 was the final nail in the coffin. I now exclusively use Linux and have done so for a while. But, I do have both XP and Win7 in virtualboxes for a few tasks that can only be done there. Not sure how much feedback you'll...

Merry Christmas
