Godus was a huge disappointment, basically a “what if Populous was a mobile skinner-box clicker with time-gating and micro-transactions?”

Magic Carpet (1994) was a really interesting take on the genre, also by Bullfrog. Imagine the god-sim mechanics of Populous combined with a 3D flight-sim/shooter and you get Magic Carpet.

Their post is specifically about Populous: The Beginning which came out in 1998 and was the first Populous game to use 3D graphics. It has quite different mechanics than the original Populous games, and you can see the DNA of Black & White emerging, with the concept of having a leader character that has an important role in the gameplay.

QED

Just because the post complies with one rule doesn’t mean that it is now exempt from all other rules. I already posted the part of the rules which it violates: “No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed.”

I’m not sure where you went wrong, but maybe take a few minutes before coming in so hot next time

What does “coming in so hot” mean? Posting something that you disagree with?

This isn’t gossip, the police department confirmed that it happened.

Do you think that “gossip” means things that aren’t true?

Recent developments about prominent figures are news even if you don’t think it’s newsworthy.

The rules of this community disagree with you.

6. All posts must be news articles.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed.

I’ve been using Firefox since the beginning, before that Mozilla, and before that Netscape Navigator.

But I think it’s finally time to switch to Librewolf.

I don’t want digital advertising of any kind, even if my privacy is “preserved” through fancy data-laundering.

unless it’s derived from Latin “Wug*, wugīs” in which case there are two Wugi (wûg-eye).

Wouldn’t a wug, wugis group noun be wuges plural?

ITT: Rust programmers rewriting the joke in Rust.

You could try VanillaOS 2.0 Beta which is a Debian-based immutable distro, planned for final release later this year.

This takes me back about 20 years.

That’s kind of true, but MacOS and Mac OSX are 2 different things

Then Windows 3.0 and Windows 11 are two different things, so by that metric you can’t include Windows either.

all the way from 1991 to 2024, I think the only other OS that has managed that is Windows

It’s easy to forget about MacOS when it only has 15% desktop market share.

Operating systems that started before 1991 that are still in active development (had a release in the last 12 months):

• Multics (1969-)
• MVS (1974-) via OS/390 (1995-) -> z/OS (2001-)
• VMS (1977) via OpenVMS (1992-)
• BSD (1978-) via 386BSD -> FreeBSD, NetBSD -> OpenBSD
• HP-UX (1982-)
• SunOS (1982-1994) via Solaris (1992-)
• MacOS (1984-)
• AIX (1986-)
• RISC OS (1987-)

Almost made it:

• Minix (1987-2017)
• Genera (1982-2021)
• AmigaOS (1985-2021)
• NeXTSTEP (1987-1997) via GNUStep (1993-2021)
• IBM i (1988-2022)
• SpartaDOS (1988-2022)

This was a joke, 14 years ago:

but it does make me happy to see articles condemning their moves almost every day

Did you read this article? It’s a pro-Microsoft article published on MSN (Microsoft Network).

Any novel idea that gets a modicum of success is immediately and repeatedly flogged to death by copy-cats, both indie and corporate, for the next several years until the gaming public is sick of seeing it. See any recent successful gaming trend for an example.

I think the post is supposed to link here: https://timemachiner.io/2022/06/18/windows-95-launch-video-reminds-us-how-90s-the-90s-were/

For some reason when I view the post it just links to a jpeg
