De game-jaren

Retro is in zeggen ze … wel ik denk dat ik op het vlak van games gewoon in het verleden ben blijven steken. Ergens rond de eerste jaren dat ik een pc had, 1997 moet dat ongeveer zijn. Deze week kocht ik nog een game van dat gezegende jaar Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Jaja, de eerste, in 1997 had ik hem ook al, maar slechts de gekopieerde versie en die is dan es verloren geraakt. Toen ik hem deze week aan 2 euro in de Mediamarkt zag liggen brak mijn hart en nam ik heb mee en speel nu (toegegeven deels uit sentiment) iedere avond een nieuw level. Ik heb eigenlijk nooit de aanleg gehad om een gamer te zijn. In mijn eerste lic zat ik vaak soms uren met mijn maat achter zijne PC terwijl hij Diablo 2 speelde. Dat was best wel boeiend en ik gaf hem steeds tactische bijsturingen en opmerkingen, maar zelf spelen no way.

Het meeste van pc’s heb ik geleerd door te kijken. We gaan bijna 20 jaar terug in de tijd toen ik als 6-jarige vol verwondering stond te kijken naar die Commodore van mijn nonkel waar mijn neven Pacman, Ski or Die of Winter Games op speelden. Aaaah de tijd van de ‘echte’ 5,25″ floppy’s … Het moet 1994 geweest zijn toen ze hun Pentium kochten en we een stap verder zetten in de gamer-geschiedenis. Het eerste spel dat erop stond was Wolfenstein 3D, nog steeds één van mijn favorieten … fuck grafics, dit is gewoon een schitterend spel nah. Daarop volgde het iets mindere Blake Stone en nog van 3D Realms/Apogee verscheen ook Raptor. Dan kwam Prince of Persia, dat vond ik al iets moeilijker :p niets voor mij dus. En toen ging mijn wereld open: eerst met Dune 2 en dan met de eerste Command & Concquer (GDI en Brotherhood of NOD). Real time strategy bleek mijn ding te zijn en ik was dagen niet weg te slaan van mijn nonkel zijn pc, sommige dagen was ik er meer mee bezig dan mijn neven zelf. Dat waren ook de dagen wanneer ik mij amuseerde met het eerste en enige voetbalspel dat niet te moeilijk en te realistisch was voor mij: Fifa 94, het spel van de oneindige ommehaals en het 20 maal scoren door voor de keeper te staan. En toen brak de zon door de wolken en kocht ons vader een eigen pc. De eerste spellen die ik erop speelde waren Fury3x en het eindeloos boeiender Terminal Velocity. Het waren de jaren van schitterende games: 1996: Duke Nukem 3D (voor mij en een deel van mijn vrienden nog steeds een tijdloze first person shooter), Transport Tycoon, Civilization II (AoE kon hier gewoon nooit aan tippen) * 1997: C&C: Red Alert, Need for Speed 2 en Carmageddon * om in 1998 af te sluiten met Dune 2000 en nog een laatste stuiptrekking een beetje later met Starcraft. En ze mogen nu nog komen zeveren over hun Halo’s en Medal of Honor’s, mij kan het allemaal niet schelen … ik ben blijven steken in het midden van de jaren ’90, toen de games nog echte arcade waren en niet zo realistisch mogelijk wilden zijn. De games in de post vermeld zijn de enige die ik langer dan een uur heb gespeeld en die ik nog altijd hier en daar eens durf bovenhalen … noem het oudbolligheid, ik noem het nostalgie.

  2. Came away with a slightly better mental model of the topic than I started with, and a stop at progresscatalyst sharpened that further, content that improves the reader thinking apparatus rather than just dumping facts into it is the rare kind I genuinely value and seek out when I have time to read carefully.

  4. Looking at the surface design and the substance together this site has both right, and a look at capitalwatch reinforced that integrated quality, sites where presentation and content reinforce each other rather than fighting are sites with full editorial coherence and this one has clearly invested in both layers in a balanced way.

  5. Помощь оказывают врачи с практикой в наркологии, психиатрии и восстановительной терапии.

  8. Skipped breakfast still reading this and finished hungry but satisfied, and a stop at northloomgoods kept me past breakfast time, content that displaces basic biological needs is content with serious attentional pull and the writers here are clearly capable of producing that level of engagement which is genuinely impressive these days.

  9. A small editorial detail caught my attention, the way headings related to body text, and a look at pineharborboutique maintained that careful relationship, structural details like that show up to readers who notice them and the writers here have clearly thought about every level of the piece rather than just the words.

  10. Worth flagging that the writing rewarded a second read more than I expected, and a look at tandembond produced the same second read benefit, content with hidden depths that emerge only on careful rereading is rare in the modern blog space and this site has clearly invested in that level of compositional density throughout.

  11. My reading list is short and selective and this site is now on it, and a stop at businesspower confirmed the placement, the short list of sites I read deliberately rather than encounter accidentally is something I curate carefully and adding to it is a real act of trust which this site has earned today.

  12. Came in skeptical of the angle and left mostly persuaded, and a stop at windstonecollective pushed me a bit further in the same direction, content that can move a critical reader by argument rather than rhetoric is rare and worth pointing out because it indicates real substance underneath the surface presentation here.

  13. Reading this on the train into work was a better use of the commute than my usual choices, and a stop at anchorbonding extended that commute reading well, content that improves transit time rather than just filling it is content with practical benefit and this site has earned its place in my morning commute reading rotation.

  14. Speaking honestly this is among the better discoveries of my recent browsing, and a stop at linenwild reinforced that discovery quality, the ranking of recent discoveries is informal but meaningful and this site has placed near the top of that ranking based on the consistency of quality across what I have already read carefully.

  15. Quality work here, the post reads cleanly and the points stay focused throughout, and a stop at bloomcraftmarket kept the standard high, you can tell the writer cares about the final result rather than just hitting publish for the sake of having something new on the page to feed the search engines.

  17. Now planning to share the link with a small group of readers I trust, and a look at ironhollowboutique suggested more material to share with the same group, recommending content into a curated circle requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those personal recommendations on multiple separate occasions now.

  18. Appreciated that the writer trusted the reader to follow along without constant restating of earlier points, and a look at principlebond continued that respect for the reader, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people to be hand held through every paragraph is something I notice and value highly across the open internet today.

  19. Found something new in here that I had not seen explained this way before, and a quick stop at coretrustlink expanded the idea even further, the kind of writing that nudges your thinking forward a bit without forcing the issue is exactly what I look for online today and rarely actually find anywhere.

  20. Just want to acknowledge that the writing here is doing something right, and a quick visit to infinitebond confirmed the same standards run across the broader site, recognising good work is something I try to do when I find it because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity.

  21. Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at legacyalloy extended the worthwhile reading, the calculation of return on reading time spent is something I do informally and this site has been producing positive returns across multiple sessions during the last week of regular visits and reads.

  22. Came away with a slightly better mental model of the topic than I started with, and a stop at ironwavecollective sharpened that further, content that improves the reader thinking apparatus rather than just dumping facts into it is the rare kind I genuinely value and seek out when I have time to read carefully.

  23. A quiet kind of confidence runs through the writing, and a look at keystonevector carried that same understated assurance, confidence without bragging is the most attractive register for online writing and the writers here have clearly developed it through practice rather than affecting it through stylistic tricks that would feel hollow eventually.

  24. Now feeling something close to gratitude for the fact this site exists, and a look at eveningtideboutique extended that gratitude, the rare site that produces this kind of response is the rare site worth defending in conversations about whether the modern internet is still capable of producing genuinely valuable independent content for serious adults.

  25. Skipped breakfast still reading this and finished hungry but satisfied, and a stop at progressmoveswithclarity kept me past breakfast time, content that displaces basic biological needs is content with serious attentional pull and the writers here are clearly capable of producing that level of engagement which is genuinely impressive these days.

  26. Вывод из запоя в стационаре в Москве нужен в ситуациях, когда самостоятельное прерывание употребления становится опасным или просто не получается. Если зависимый пьет несколько дней, принимает алкоголь в больших дозах, быстро срывается после попытки остановиться, плохо переносит отмену спиртного или уже имеет заболевания сердца, печени, почек, нервной системы, лучше не экспериментировать с домашними средствами. В таких случаях наркологическая клиника дает более безопасный формат: осмотр, детоксикационные процедуры, медикаментозное лечение, диагностику и участие квалифицированного медицинского персонала.

  27. Decided to read more before commenting and the more I read the more I wanted to say something, and a stop at dynabond pushed that impulse further, when content provokes the urge to participate rather than just consume it is doing something quite specific and worth recognising clearly when it happens during reading.

  28. Looking back on this reading session it stands as one of the better ones recently, and a look at surepathbond extended that ranking, the informal ranking of reading sessions against each other is something I do mentally and this session ranks high largely because of this site and a couple of related pages here.

  29. Главная цель процедуры — экстренное вытрезвление и запуск детоксикации. Лечебный эффект достигается благодаря многокомпонентному составу, который подбирается индивидуально. Облегчение симптомов похмелья и алкогольной интоксикации обычно наступает уже в течение первого часа после начала внутривенного введения растворов. В основу рецептуры входят солевые и электролитные смеси, восполняющие нехватку жидкости и солей. Физраствор и глюкоза снижают концентрацию этанола в крови, разжижают кровь, используются для восполнения дефицита жидкости и электролитов. Дополнительно мы включаем кардиопротекторы, гепатопротекторы, ноотропы и успокоительные лекарства, создающие комплексную поддержку. В некоторых случаях врач назначает диуретик для ускоренного выведения токсинов и гидрокарбонат натрия для борьбы с ацидозом. Такое лечение не только снимает похмельный синдром, но и готовит пациента к дальнейшей реабилитации.

  30. Beats most of the alternatives on the topic by a noticeable margin, and a look at ideasflowintoaction did not change that at all, this is one of the better corners of the open internet for this kind of content and I am glad I clicked through rather than skipping past quickly like I usually do.

  31. A piece that prompted a small mental rearrangement of how I order related ideas, and a look at unitybondnetwork extended that rearranging effect, content that affects the structure of my thinking rather than just adding to it is content with the deepest kind of impact and this site is reaching that depth for me today.

  32. Took the time to read every paragraph rather than skimming for the punchline, and a quick visit to signalbuildsdirection earned the same careful attention from me, that is the highest signal I can give about content quality because my default mode is rapid scanning rather than deliberate reading on most pages.

  33. Thanks again for the post, I learned a couple of things I can actually use later this week, and after I went over enduringlink the rest of the site looked equally promising, definitely going to spend more time here when I get a free moment over the weekend to read more carefully.
