Farscape also had a whole made up vocabulary like "frell" and "dren".

Teams is kind of awesome of what you want to do is exchange emojis and funny gifs with your co-workers. Not so much if you want to work.

I miss the days when applications were coded like applications, not like web sites. The ammount of clutter that goes behind the scenes to get a simple OK button on screen these days must be mind numbing.

Copy+paste is still a pain in the ass in Microsoft Teams. Why don't you work on that instead?

Patient gamers unite!

Also, who has time to waste waiting for a 90GB game to load and compile it's shaders or whatever so you can enjoy the main character's pimples in full anti aliased resolution when you can just double click some 20 year old game and be right in the thick of it in zero time? I play to have fun, I don't need all this ultra realistic crap. Give me 5 minutes with some obscure indie game and I'm happy.

That's not a lie, that's standard operating procedure.

It's... It's well within limits. Sustaining sequence.

Oh. Oh dear.

I loved Black Mesa up to this point. They turned Gonarch into a RPG sponge in an arena full of hard to avoid clutter which makes it nearly impossible to dodge the attacks.

Isn't this it?

I'm old enough to have clustered some 16 desktop PCs using openMOSIX a long time ago, before the era of multiple cores and threads.

The whole cluster would function like a single Linux system, automatically spreading the work between nodes.

I used it to run SETI@Home for a bit of fun.

It was a neat idea, but never went mainstream. Soon single PCs were powerful enough to run virtual machines and be partitioned instead of clustered.
