Requirements: 8 G Ram. That's crazy. I can't remember what I had on my PC when it came out, but surely less than 256 K. Maybe only 128K.

I think that's probably the min requirement for either Windows or the Epic store. I'm pretty sure it doesn't need an Intel Core i5-750 (or those graphics cards) either.

Computer says no.
Minimum specs back in '93 were a 386 with 4meg of ram.
(which was all Dad could afford for a number of years. Cost 4k in '91)
Wasn't it just something else  after the already amazing Wolfenstein? My ears nearly melted after getting a sound-blaster in about '94

Personally, I'd prefer Chuck Norris whale on them for half an hour.

Well we know at least one person reads the CCC.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Well, actually, I was the whale-cane firestorm perpetrator. I set the clue.

Why would half an hour be necessary? That many Chuck Norris blows in the same direction would knock Earth out of it's orbit.

Isn't that a bit slow, if you seal them into an airtight can with no empty space the problem will be solved within ~3 to 5 minutes.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Looks like site driving. What are you trying to share?

|

|

Which is click-bait or site driving, add some value, tell us why you think it's worthwhile, what did you learn?
|

Before you get all pissy negative, change your browser so that when you hover over a link the url appears at the bottom of your window or something, then you will see the link and determine for yourself. If you had done so, you wouldn't have accused me of site driving when I have never site-driven here. You sound like you are trying to make this into SO or something.

Your post is noting but "Follow this link".
I canceled my subscription to this one web newspaper; on major reason was that its front page never revealed nothing whasoever. Every story was presented with catchy phrases like "On her way to work this happened". "This will be his biggest task this fall". Right now: A photo of some foreign banknotes: "Nosediving". And "Never before used in war". "Dancing - then this happens". "Going viral". Photo that seems to be part of an oil rig: "Begging Norway". Close up of an eye: "Can reveal a disease". Sometimes, the photo reveals some celebrity face, but I am not into celebrities (and don't care much for gossip about them).
Earlier, I felt an urge to click on each and ever one of those nonsense headlines, just in case there was something valuable hidden behind them. There rarely was. Or, the information density is much higher at other sites. I started skipping all those "Look at this!" stories - and soon it dropped to at most four or five stories a day, most of them just a couple paragraphs long. Now I am back to the front page only, and a few free teaser stories (all of them are of the 'Look a this!' kind). The front page tells me that something has happened to someone, somewhere in the world, but hey, I am not surprised by that.
Many web forums are similar - including technical ones. I have come into the habit of just skipping over those with titles like "Difficult problem" or "Stuck with programming task" or "Help needed". I am not wasting my time on reading a long text just to find out that I have nothing to contribute. Often, it is possible to deduce that from the headline (certainly here in the Lounge!), and I skip over that post/thread. I skip over far more threads today than I did two years ago.
Then comes a post "Kubernetes". I was struggling with it a couple of years ago, so it caught my eye. Inside: Nothing! Nothing of value to me, nothing where I could contribute with my experiences. It was just like one of those "Look at this!" headlines in that web newspaper: Just a waste of time opening it. I am not going to waste even more time by following some link must because you state "Look at this!".

Instead, you will waste even more time by writing a long drawn out reply, draining all humor from the site. Great job! And I'm wasting my time by responding to a buzz-kill.
Anyway, I hope you find humor in other endeavors today!

Before you get all pissy please consider that I already looked at the URL. That's not the issue. The issue is dropping a link with no commentary or other context about why it was dropped. Add something, don't just drop a link.

Lighten up guys. I enjoyed the link to what is clearly meant to be humorous. Kramer on Kubernetes, LOL (even the name Kubernetes is humorous).
