Cat Mattress posted:Weirdest control scheme I heard off was someone insisting that SAXZ was what he found most comfortable. That's S for forward, A and X for left and right, and Z for backward. You put your angle on the keyboard with a 45° angle, basically. this one actually kinda makes sense and feels not terrible. WASD is what I'm used to, but it's certainly not objectively the best or anything.

In this house you play by Dark engine controls which is like W forward, X backwards, a/d rotate in place, gently caress I can't even recall that eldritch bullshit as a joke.

Turin Turambar posted:Thanks god I don't have to deal with that with sourceports. That's not entirely true, only G/ZDoom fixes that, any other port keeps the issue fully intact. As a consequence of fixing it, for a very long time in gzdoom you could actually get hurt twice by an explosion. It only very recently got fixed and I wouldn't be surprised if there's more.

repiv posted:there's a ton of cargo culting among cs players, like how many insist on using a 4:3 resolution stretched out to fill their 16:9 monitor hahah that's loving amazing. Blows my mind there's something dumber than sideways keyboard.

repiv posted:more than a few times pros have died in official matches because their 4:3 resolution cropped out something in their peripheral vision they would have seen in 16:9, but they keep using 4:3 regardless I totally read this wrong the first time and thought there was a precedent of players literally dying in competitive matches. SeANMcBAY posted:High level CS seems so unfun to both play or watch. It kinda reminds me of when people would rip out all of the textures and visual “noise” in old multiplayer games like Quake so you were just running through featureless hallways shooting at shapes.

Mierenneuker posted:When you watch a CS:GO tourney on Twitch you see a lot of players angling their keyboard (although I think they still use WASD). I've also seen a video of a Fortnite streamer explaining why he plays with a vertical keyboard, but I'm pretty sure he was some kind of mutant freak. In older games FPS games that have lots of weapons and don't have things like crouching or "stances", I angle my keyboard and use Shift-A-Ctrl-S. Me and a friend landed on that scheme way back during Doom deathmatching to let us bind a bunch of weapons to keys near our two strafing fingers. Haven't come across any other kindred spirits lately though. :-)

Sorry if this has been asked recently — search isn't working for me right now. Are TFix 1.27 and T2Fix 1.27d all that's needed to play through Thief 1/2 in 2020 or is there something else to install? Looking to keeps thing mostly vanilla.

Here's a fun piece of history from the Acclaim archives: A (comically low-fi) pitch document for a new Turok game, circa 2004... the same year Acclaim shut down. Based on the dates, if this got greenlit the closure probably happened a month into their pre-production schedule, so it probably didn't limp very far. https://twitter.com/pripyatbeast/status/1291825886811918336

If they balanced the absurd aim and enemy strength a cryengine Turok with all the vehicles replaced with chain gun wielding dinosaurs would’ve been pretty rad.

Off the top of my memory: Turok 1 and 2 are pretty good but my god make the stages smaller Turok 3 is the definition of overbloated ok Rage Wars was ok unless you had the bugged copy that made it unfinishable Turok The Reboot is underbloated ok leaning towards bad Turok in Dinosaur Valley I've not played but looks adorable so A++
