Good enough for solo gaming

Oh, IL-2 was the first game where I got a big deluxe edition with DLCs and extra stuff. Without its legacy, War Thunder would not be possible.

And I was using a joystick for it that was connected to a game-port before USB. Full immersion! But the port wasn't supported on any of my newer computers. We used to have a port for everything back then...

Facts: you can't keep SSDs unplugged, especially in temperatures over 35°C even for a few months.

They will lose data or get completely corrupted. In 45°C the process of data loss begins in a matter of weeks. For longer storage you better be using HDDs instead or special long-lasting Blu-ray.

Have they ever checked any science fiction about AI in charge?

“Automated robotic labs, running biotech experiments”

Kojima knew it

By the way: Predator Badlands is a good movie, but absolutely not Predator nor Alien in a true form. More like a fan-fiction with an obvious but cute twist in the end.

Literally, a Disney movie for the whole family. On which Disney lost over $60m due to poor performance.

S&box goes open source!
(Under MIT)

A modern game engine, built on Valve's Source 2 and the latest .NET technology, it provides a modern intuitive editor for creating games. BUT!

Obviously this isn't the Source 2 code, that's up to Valve to open source if they want. For us Source 2 is providing lower level systems, all our high level systems are C# like the entire editor, networking, scene system, UI, and way more.

Which means, it's partially MIT.

Gothic original dev

One of the most important issues of modern censorship is that it makes quite the opposite of what it claims:

It's crucial to have freedom to show reasonable and planned evil, lust, desire, and so on.

Making things bland teaches nothing and protects no one.

Cool story, may help someone: so, a few weeks ago right before my flight to Edinburgh, my living room (and office) main light burst in flames.

And I only decided to look for a replacement when I returned. And I used the secondary light for several weeks and it's dim and kinda far from my desk. It was a bad idea, since it's winter and it heavily affected my work. I didn't realize why but every day I wanted to sleep constantly all the time.

Today I simply placed a temporary light nearby (while waiting for the delivery) and the day went much better.

So, never underestimate light, you need it, especially in winter! 🥶

We have the last sack of $$,
Just about 50 more billions...

Meanwhile, Tim Sweeney decided to eat shit from the biggest audience he can gather by saying that AI usage should not be known by a customer.

This is why Epic Store will never overthrow Steam, not even a little.

How can he say that? He just invested in AI as all of them this year. And he started to praise it in the summer.
