It is not well maintained. It blocks a ton of progressive related websites as well.

Distributed denial of service.

That first D is the one that makes the attack a real problem.

This looks awesome!!!

Spring is dead. The fork Recoil is going strong and fast. :-)

So I have a very specific dog in this fight. I am currently working on an RTS game for the recoil engine. One of my big requirements is the ability for direct hosting without the need of a central server. My biggest argument for this is the fact that if the server ever goes down or I get hit by a truck or anything like that, people can still directly host games.

Also I don’t think lan parties should require a trip to a third party server just in order to have games with each other. I feel sometimes like I’m the only person who remembers back in the old days when we had giant lan parties and in a lot of cases there wasn’t even really much in the way of internet access to them.

In my personal opinion, I feel like games as a service have done end users a disservice. There are so many games that I would love to go back and play but I can’t because the servers don’t exist or the developers made it so difficult to host your own servers that you need to jump through a million modding hoops just to make it so that you can actually play a game online with others.

What is really bad though is single player games that require an online connection. Witafits?

ZeroK uses the same engine as BAR, my game, and quite a few others. 😋 And yes, definitely should check out ZK, it’s a mature project with a nice community and awesome devs.

Recoil is pretty much the only foss engine purpose built for modern rts games of all types.

If you like RTS games similar to Total Annihilation, you should definitely check out Beyond All Reason, it’s gorgeous and fun: https://www.beyondallreason.info/

I was the IT Director for a company that had a lot of data entry people. I had noticed that the keyboards that they were using were mostly plain jane, mismatched, membrane keyboards. After a bit of back and forth with purchasing I convinced the company to purchase a ton of mechanical (cherry reds), split ergonomic keyboards.

Within a month RSI reports were down by 95% and after 2 months were essentially nonexistent. I also noticed that people had stopped wearing wrist braces as well. I paired this with good, well shaped mice that would hopefully lead to less fatigue with repetitive motion.

My sample size is tiny, but there are 30 some odd people who if asked, would back me up on this. So while not thoroughly scientifically proven, I am willing to say that ergonomic keyboards do make a big difference. I think mechanical makes a pretty big difference too. Cherry reds activate with very little pressure and, imo, make typing long documents or notes much less annoying/stressful/painful/
