Or it is just an extremely common retro style motif dating to the 70s/80s, color coordinated with the base device color schemes, with no particular intended political meaning whatsoever.
Occam’s razor is a useful blade.

If a parrot is on its perch, can it lead a standup meeting?
You are correct about the release year. If one were being pedantic I suppose it would be correct to say that thanks to multiplayer and mods, Half-Life was a popular PC game/engine all throughout the early 2000s. Come to think of it, there are probably still people playing CS 1.6 today.
I have used the Chris Titus debloat tool before and it works pretty well.
Really the fact that this is necessary at all is disgusting. Start Menu ads are straight up AIDS. Not to mention curated news feeds in Start and other places. Why not just tell me what my opinions and purchasing habits should be, and eliminate the middleman?
I feel like even novice Windows users would be better off with Pop! OS and Wine at this point.
I know Google Fiber generation 1 setups were Fiber to the home (to a “Fiber Jack”) with a provided router that had 1 gigabit Ethernet port and a coax/MoCA output. Then each TV receiver box got its connectivity via MoCA from the router (most of the customer homes were already set up for cable to any area there was a TV) and put out 100mb ethernet from each of those endpoints (these also doubled as Wifi APs).
What I’ve never heard of is an ISP offering a MoCA coax to your house and you having only a MoCA receiver. Supposedly the max distance between MoCA devices is about 300 feet.
Seems more likely the person asking the question actually just has a cable modem and could put their own router downstream of it if they wanted?
This was amazing. I remember having LAN parties first with UT99 then with Counter-strike and UT2K4.
Those LANs were peak gaming for me.
Probably a bunch of hacked together Python to copy stuff between fileshares. Bonus points if it runs with a .bat file and a Windows scheduled task.
“O-counter”? Is that legitimately for tracking how many times you blow your load to a particular scene?
People are really into advanced metrics these days…
I remember TR3 was a huge disappointment after 1 and 2. The new mechanics weren’t very good and the level design was more confusing. I remember they added the Desert Eagle pistol and it was a giant brick (seriously the model consisted of probably 3-4 polygons total).
It really felt like they were just milking the franchise at that point.
Louis Rossman has done a couple videos about this and I tend to agree - Paying customers get a worse experience.
You use the official apps and real accounts and you are still subject to artificial bandwidth restrictions. You use the official YouTube app on your smart TV and you get 10+ midroll ads at unnatural places during a 12 minute video. You “own” purchased content in one platform and it can still be taken away from you or made inaccessible when a service gets collapsed into another platform or rebranded etc. I’m not going to re-buy the same fucking movie I already owned on one streaming platform and have already owned on 2 different formats of physical release.
Curating your own digital copies, regardless of how you obtain them, is the only way to guarantee quality and availability anymore.
It is fucking horrible with false positives though. RIP if you have a Kali ISO sitting on one of your drives.
That and the Antimalware service executable gets hung up and chugs 30-50% of your CPU and RAM and won’t stop.
Billy Mitchell or Todd Rodgers might claim to.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding but wouldn’t it just be easier to use a good private tracker, assuming you can get an invite?
MetalJesusRocks for some “hidden gems” type of content.
MVG for technical or development deepdives.
Karl Jobst for speedrunning content.
Retrogamecorps, Taki Udon, Wulff Den, and ETA Prime for emulation.
All those channels cover various content besides just N64, but they’ve made some of the best N64 game related content.
