The Soulja Boy Poop Out of Mouth Out - Atari Zombie Inside (or maybe not)

[Slacker Magician]

speaking of beating games I finished duke nukem 3D(for like the 100th time)and the expansions. I'm still bummed they didn't include "the duke zone" and the penthouse expansions in the megaton edition.

also just finished duke nukem episode 1 on to episode 2
man dos games used to be cheap at the end of the game after the credits there's info for ordering the remaining episodes they were priced at $15 a piece or $30 for all three plus extras

You're fast . I should probably get back to DN at some point.

the original is pretty good not nearly as hard as it seems the levels are kinda big later on so it can be a bit tedious at times.

[Slacker Magician]

I'm the in the middle of DN3D and I stalled because it feels like a bit of a slog. If I could have more modern style controls I wouldn't mind so much.

I have it on Xbox. Still fun. Can't rmember if it comes with extra shit and mod stuff like Doom 1&2 does though

[Grouch]

god I fucking hate M$ updates. I thought I was already up to date then hey look you have 1 important update of 868mb an hour and a half later you have more updates 60+ of them

[Slacker Magician]

You can always ignore non-essential updates .

I didn't know it got ported.

Yeah 20th anniversary edition or some nonsense. Couple of extra episodes in it.

hard to ignore when M$ thinks all the updates are "essential"
I finally managed to get it up to date this morning, it's annoying as hell when it takes 30min to 1hr just to check for updates and I have to download smaller amounts of files at a time otherwise it tends to bug out and stall the download indefinitely.
I know my net isn't super fast but in't not dial-up fucking slow either, at least now I can get back to the games I was playing the other night.

Does that version of Windows have any service packs? I always skimmed over the update info to determine whether or not it mattered, back when we had a say in the matter .

I don't think so but I'm not sure. all I know for sure is that I've downloaded around 3gb of updates 90% of which were "important" updates the other 10% were "recommended" updates(like the net framework updates)

[Grouch]

also is it possible to get the win 7 aero theme on 8.1? I really miss that.

They don't have stuff labelled "service pack 2" or whatever anymore. That stopped years ago.
You'll just see version updates like (eg): November 2021 update (21H2) <- this will have a build number.

Did you install 8.1?
Support for that ends next year.

I've always had aero disabled no matter what OS. I prefer the traditional look (also only used metro until I could get rid of it).

[Zaladane]

Doesn't aero eat up alot of resources too?
