Unpopular opinion, but I just get a solid side panel and do minimal to no cable management. I don't care about rgb or if the insides look pretty.

Steer clear of the fans and it's all good.

Tangentially, the title is one letter away from this being a very different kind of Tetris game.

That : after Master is doing some work, too

Retro-bit prototype Saturn stick and wireless DC controllers. (www.destructoid.com)
 

Hopefully it won't take five or six years between showing a prototype and production as it was with the Saturn Pro controller.

Just because case specs say "360mm of gpu clearance", that does not mean "comfortably" or "you won't have to disassemble everything around it". (lemmy.world)

Nightdive's Quake 2: Enhanced, out now (www.gog.com)
 

Just like Quake 1, if you already own Quake 2, the enhanced version is available as a free update. Although unlike Quake 1, Quake 2: Enhanced is also available on GOG day 1.

In addition to visual updates, there's a new episode "Call of the Machine", Quake 2 N64, a pass to the enemy AI which changes a few behaviors and attacks, removes machine gun recoil, a new infinite use item that shows the player where to go next, and a number of other qol and accessibility options.

Anecdotally, I find the addition of Q2 N64 very appealing. It's a mish-mash of pared-down maps from vanilla Q2 and the expansions in a strictly linear fashion - no backtracking. Of course, there's also changes to the lighting and a new OST by Aubrey Hodges. Being able to control the game from keyboard / mouse is a godsend. I played the game in emulator with a modern gamepad and it was barely, barely doable, even when I could manually set deadzones and sensitivities and the like. It was awful.

I love that Doom 64 is finally getting some attention (lemmy.world)
 

Ways to play Doom64 outside of an actual N64 or emulation has been pretty scarce up until now, and it's a huge shame.

There was a slow trickle starting with SVKaiser's Absolution TC, and Doom 64 EX, but we actually have choices now:

Experiment at your discretion. They're all fun. Most of them rely on the Nightdive Doom64.wad from GOG or Steam, some are still fine with doing a tc of Doom II.

Doom 64 EX + by ATSB.

Doom 64 Super EX Plus by styd051 (for custom monster and extended map support)

Doom CE by molecicco. A modernized approach to both PSX and Doom 64. There's even a bizarre add-on mod that combines them.
