Quake Injector is your friend, it will download and configure all the maps and mods for you. https://www.quaddicted.com/tools/quake_injector

Of course in any developed country the majority of the population lives in cities. What I mean is that Japanese cities, outside of a few core areas, are really ugly and depressing.…

Unfortunately my workplace is in the countryside. Someone decided it was a good idea to build a big international research center in the middle of nowhere. Which is now a liability…

Quake was notorious for being the first major game to require a powerful FPU. Michael Abrash manually tuned the rasterization code to fit the Pentium pipeline, any other CPU didn't…

> The BBC didn't need to go all the way to Tokyo - they could find this in pretty much any Spanish city. This. When my Japanese girlfriend finally visited my small hometown in Spai…

On the other hand Spanish trains don't need women only cars due to the massive amount of dirty chikan ojaji (old guys that love groping women, even underage schoolgirls). Japan is …

Because these articles always talk about the good parts and never mention the bad parts which make up the vast majority of the country.

I have been living in the inaka for 8 years now and I always laugh at this kind of articles. They only focus on the core areas of Tokyo, Osaka, and a few big others cities, and for…

IANAL, but my understanding is that whatever patents and industrial design rights Nintendo had on the N64 expired long ago, so replicating N64 hardware is perfectly legal as long a…

Time will tell, but I don't think big enough FPGAs will be affordable any time soon. And in any case, software emulation is already incredibly advanced, with emulators like Dolphin…

The MiSTer is already struggling to fit the N64 core, and the GameCube is more than 10 times more complex than the N64. Just the CPU cache and the GPU embedded RAM would be prohibi…

This. My old GameCube is already broken, the optical drive decided to die. Fortunately some Swiss magic still allows it to run games, otherwise it would just be an expensive paperw…

You didn't understand my point... Closed platforms like consoles are at the mercy of their manufacturers. If you want consumer rights, stick to open platforms like the PC.

> It cannot be a "pretend" manifestation, when a physical disc that requires nothing more than an official piece of hardware to use continues to work 100 years into the future (ass…

Graphical adventure games were already dead before the Xbox even arrived, and besides that the first Xbox was not that popular outside North America so it could not have affected o…

You don't double integrate, period. You essentially have three options: 1) An absolute positioning system like GPS. 2) A visual positioning system like fiducial markers or SLAM. 3)…

12 years ago I had to write the firmware for an IMU. It took me some real effort to convince my bosses that double integration was, for all practical purposes, impossible. I wish I…

Being more coherent than English is not exactly a high bar to clear... (at least when it comes to languages based on the Latin script)

For those who are not aware, Soviet scientists actually developed ternary computers back in the '50s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setun Ternary encodings are also popular for dat…

Obrigado for the explanation and the interesting link :)

Yes they are. Every time I visit Tokyo I try to avoid Shinjuku because it is extremely confusing and I always get lost. Signs are mostly useful for people who are new to a place, i…

How do you expect tourists, including people coming from other regions of Japan, to familiarize themselves with the layout?

I grew up in Spain close to the border with Portugal, so even though I don't speak the language (something which I really regret) I am familiar with it. What are the major differen…

The proper way to generate helium is to use a deuterium-tritium fusion reactor.

I don't know why you are getting downvoted. I am Spanish and I don't know of anybody who was required to read Machiavelli in high school.
