2 days ago Transport Tycoon Deluxe (the original) got added to the GOG store.

Using a very misleading move GOG has now updated their OpenTTD page to list the original game as a requirement for playing OpenTTD.

This is not true at all. OpenTTD is a standalone game and does not require any files from the original game to work, it even replaces the original graphics.

Do not buy Transport Tycoon Deluxe from GOG. They charge 10 euro for it and it is simply the original game wrapped inside of DOSBox without any changes. Not worth your money.

Instead you should just simply download OpenTTD from the official download on openttd.org and play that instead.

And instead of giving your money to Atari/GOG you can donate money to the OpenTTD project directly. https://www.openttd.org/donate

the iran shit has been successful in making nerds forget about their own shit being locked down
they're locking down android, they're locking down 3d printers, they're wanting age verification everywhere, meanwhile nerds are borderline fedposting about shit they saw on the Daily Kos

You can avoid most LLM slop just by adjusting the dates on your search result. I made a HTML form that makes this easier:

Was curious about the old Orkut that Google bought and killed. The domain is still registered and has an interesting message.

@bajax @Junes I swear like 10-15 years ago being pro free speech was the default position of most western people but everyone gave it up so easily. Even a lot of people on here don't give a shit about free speech - they just happen to presently be the victim of censorship and would implement their own version of it if given power. Even saying "I support free speech" is practically considered embarrassing now. The most battered wife of a principle, yet the most important.

Slowly going to add more and more stuff to this image as I find it... this may end up becoming a pointless pile of nothing, though.

We'll see.

reposting but someone did a deep dive; found out that Facebook is funding this age ID shit and they have nothing to lose but their competition.
