    BTW: The game is currently on sale at gog.com for 99 Cents. Wanted to replay it and buying it was easier than digging out my discs or piracy.

      Any must have mods to experience the game in a more modern setting?

      Tried playing today with gmdx on linux but was crashing all the time.

        Don’t know. Lutris offered to install the Community Update so that’s what I did. Direct3D 10 seemed to work best for me. But I have only walked a little bit around the tutorial so far.

          Thanks for mentioning lutris and community update. Installs all needed mods that in general also prepare deus ex for max performance for linux.

        Other than patches to fix bugs, I recommend against most of the highly praised mods.They change a lot more of the gameplay abc story than people usually admit, and you lose that original feeling of the game.

        Deus ex: revision is pretty good too. Changes a bit more than GMDX compared to the original though (e.g., more map changes, some new soundtracks)

      You mean back when he thought renaming PayPal to X would be the answer to the worlds problems?

        It’s funny how much of a one track mind he has. Participate in/purchase a decently operational company, attempt to rename it x, ???, profit. We are currently in the ??? Phase again.

    yeah almost like capitalist have been fantasying about and drooling at the possibility of ruining millions of people lives by replacing them with functionally useless automated systems, just to end up hiring the same people as some new made up job that has the same responsibilities but lower pay because supposedly the computer is doing most of it now.

      The caption is a line from one ending of the original Deus Ex. The graphics and font do not match the PC version, but I’ve never played the PlayStation version to compare, or it could be a mod.

    cautionary? Turing and Minsky said this in the early 50s.

    Lovelace said this a century before we ever built a computer

    I could not finish any other part but this game. Anything like it?

    I mean that reboot was OK but could not grab me.

        Turns out that the world DOES believe in AI and I said aged like milk because the original line is cautionary but we do didn’t listen and now we will suffer those consequences. It was an under appreciated comment because I did not offer clear context.

    If the original Deus Ex came out today, it would get lynced and cancelled in an instant. It’s too anti-establishment for todays mood.

        I think they meant “cancelled” as in “a bunch of terminally online people would make videos calling out its ‘wokeness’ and how it’s the end of western society”

          So instead of “cancelled” they meant some people would criticize it. Yeah what a new phenomenon

      more likely it would be released by an indie dev company and not noticed.

          I think they’re saying it’s punk rock to hate women and screw poor people over, whilst being racist and bigoted in every way possible.

          Aka it’s punk rock to have no idea about the history and political aspects of punk rock.

          …in fairness, Johnny “I do butter commercials now” Rotten agrees. Which gives “God save the queen” a whole different quality.

                You can be old and white, and both and be punk rock. Biden and Trump aren’t punk because they just aren’t lol. Not because they are old or white…
