But it's one of those things that you'd potentially spend hours setting up and the wee shits would be bored with it in 10 mins and go watch someone else playing it on YouTube. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNU_Linux Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Add a pregnancy test to the list of things that can run Doom.The one thing that truly unites us as a species is our collective desire to see Doom played on everything. The universe exists solely to create more and more platforms for Doom to be played on now. And thanks to Foone Turing, who tinkers with obscure software and hardware, we now know that pregnancy tests can play Doom. With a bit of fiddling. Over the weekend, Turing showed off a gif of Doom rendered on a pregnancy test's display. Turing wasn't actually playing anything, it was just a video, but only a day later Doom finally made the leap to a new platform, undoubtedly changing the world forever. The tiny, monochrome display means that what you actually see is more like the suggestion of Doom. There are walls, floors, doors—wee pixelated corridors that could, I guess, be Doom. When an Imp gets real close, however, it's unmistakable. It's impressive. Pregnancy tests are complex. Earlier, Turing dissected one and broke down what they found inside, including an 8-bit microcontroller comparable to what you would have found inside early PCs. "This thing is probably faster at number crunching and basic I/O than the CPU used in the original IBM PC," said Turing, "and this one is in something you pee on and throw away."The actual bit that tests if you're pregnant or not is just a paper strip that looks like a plain old pregnancy test, so the sole purpose of all this tech seems to be to read the strip and tell you the result. And then you toss it out. It's a tiny disposable computer."It's a scam, basically," Turing said, echoing the sentiments of the tweet that inspired them to take a pregnancy test apart. As someone who will never have to pee on a stick to see if I'm pregnant, I'm hesitant to write off every digital kit as nonsense. For the visually impaired, for instance, an LED display is going to be an improvement over a tiny line. An audio component, which neither of these tests had, would perhaps be even better. Peeing on a wee computer and then tossing it out does seem pretty wasteful, and it doesn't look like there's a good reason, other than profit, for why the strips can't be just replaced so the device can be used again. The microcontroller can't be reprogrammed and so can't be used to actually run Doom on its own, so don't go down to the shops and pick yourself up a box of tests in the hopes of starting a gaming session. Turing's going to be detailing how they got it to work soon. In an earlier thread, after they'd managed to get the video working, they said they expected it to be tricky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 Dunno if I've ever put it on here before but I've started using Boomerang Rentals again. An incredible service for folk who enjoy trying different games without having to fork out £40/£50 a pop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) Decided to pick up AC: Origins there and play it and I've never been so infuriated with the ending to a game in my life.

The DLCs are pretty decent btw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You spend the whole game trying to get justice for your bairn, then Aya turns round and patches you completely out of nowhere. It's cold as hell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest I barely focused on the story after a while. I love exploring the map, enjoying how campy it all is, and living in the world but the actual story rarely ever grabs me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 The last AC I played was the pirate one. I was also enjoying being a Pirate so much I don't think I finished it. I do have the next one in the house still in the cellophane. I am a bit OCD with things so I feel I need to continue the story despite being about 7 years behind 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completed that and Odyssey before I finished Syndicate and I don’t think I missed anything that I couldn’t work out in a minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I think it's Rouge I have in the house unopened. Definitely the shortest one. It’s just Black Flag with some cosmetic changes although you do get background development on Achilles and Adewale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
