I opened the link from the mobile, and when I pressed PLAY NOW, some scam links opened and initiated Apple Pay payment on my phone. I'm pretty sure this is not what you intended but still it does what it does.

There is a full screen interstitial ad that appeared right after clicking play now so if you double pressed or lingered a bit or maybe some sort of bug triggered the click then it happened through clicking on that ad

My ublock origin blocked ~20 elements on page load so I'm pretty sure that's intentional.

Here is to hoping that GTA 6 will at some point be ready for VR. If any employee is reading this, I would be first in line to play the VR version!

Could someone shed some light on what's the legality of publishing emulated abandonware? I remember not too long ago Half-Life 2's web port got posted, is that still online?

Unless they've gotten a license to do it, it's a crystal clear copyright violation, generally done under the assumption/hope that an entity that has abandoned selling the game has also abandoned caring about enforcing its copyrights against such projects.

It's not legal. And in any case it's not abandonware, they're still actively selling these games (maybe not these exact versions, but I doubt a court would see that as a distinction with a difference).

What the kids call "DOS games" nowadays... Half of the games on this list are for Windows 95 or later.

The site should call them PC games.

Okay Boomer...

At one point during it's usage, words just stop accurately describing what it is, and starts communicating a vibe or something instead. Just like "DOS Games", "MIDI" which is just data in reality, but people started associating it with chiptune, so somehow some people now mix the terms and call chiptune "Midi Music", yet chiptune have nothing to do with MIDI the protocol/.mid the fileformat.

People don't generally refer to these old Windows games as "DOS games", though.

It's funny how frequently we point and shout at semantic drift when we see it, when it's such a natural part of how we use language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_change

In technical contexts it's often still important to use words accurately so in that sense it might not lose it's original meaning completely. I've come to accept that everyday language can be messy and inaccurate and one can't always get it right especially if they're not familiar enough with the topic. You can still get the meaning across well-enough.

but... then people can't constantly pretend they're smarter by telling others I.e. "the kids" what the original meanings are :(

Absolutely fucking amazing, thank you. This tapped into the memory of how I remembered playing GTA III in terms of visuals. Thank you so much, I love this game and the person who made this happen!!

Is it just me, or is every radio station broken except Wave 103?

Yup seems that way. The irony if they decided to remove them for copyright reasons...
