I’ve been waiting for the system shock remake to get done, because I fear that I can’t deal with the outdated graphics and controls (which might be really clunky by modern standards).
For the graphics, I guess it’s about preference. As for the controls, well… depends on the version.
When you buy SS: Enhanced Edition on Steam, you get two versions (EE and Classic Edition).
The Classic Edition is the one that people don’t play much because it really only uses the mouse for everything IIRC. However, someone made a mod for mouse-look, which makes it easier to play. Quite a while later, some devs decided to improve the game by making the Enhanced Edition, which naturally includes mouse-look and binds.
It can be confusing to play at first if you don’t know the keys, but once you know them you will get used to it.
I made a guide about changing the binds to make them more intuitive to modern players on Steam.
I haven’t got a clue as to where you might see that other than your profile. Probably googling “discourse list of muted topics” might turn up something relevant.
If they don’t want to get notified by e-mail, for instance. Or if they turn out to be my victim of serial liking.
Anyway…
I’m currently increasing my artificial post count in Team Fortress 2 (grinding for the ‘Kill 1 million robots’ achievement), then I’m done with the game.
There is a near 100% chance that you are using an operating system that uses virtual memory.
As such the memory your program has access to is not physical RAM, instead it is a mapping specifically setup by the OS. So your program can only see the memory the OS has given it access to it, and that process all of the time includes clearing out the memory so that programs can’t snoop on each other’s data. There are specific operating system functions which allow you to access the raw physical memory, but that’s usually limited to processes running with high privileges, otherwise any old process could easily crash the whole operating system.
Please don’t post pointless replies in old threads.
Threads are kept open so that the discussion can resume in the future if someone has something good to add.
