Valve adds "all the Team Fortress 2 client and server game code" to its Source mod tools, letting modders "build completely new games based on TF2" and publish them on Steam

  • I've played TF2 for years-- only, after Meet Your Match. (Wow this game is old...)

    • Germany's conservatives set to lead next coalition, far-right AfD surges

    Jump

  • AfD is a fringe party

    "It's fine, we don't have to deal with it, they don't have any REAL power yet"

    AfD becomes a significant party

    "What are you, politically biased? We can't ban them!"

  • Ok, you've officially taken the propaganda phrases too far, because this one doesn't even make sense. The purpose of an algebra test is ability to do algebra? The purpose of an intelligence test is pattern recognition, working memory, and some other things? Huh?

    The right thing to say would be "The purpose of a test is what it does", in keeping with the phrase you modified this from, but that's arguably false too. The purpose of a test is what it was designed to do, and what it does is what it actually does.

    You could say that the purpose of our continued usage of a test is to encourage what it actually does, regardless of what it was designed to do; which is what I believe you're trying to say, and I would agree with that statement. But I object to the thoughtless propagation of dumb phrases like the one you used.

  • I took an IQ test a few months ago to help my sister study for her psychology exam, so I can confirm that at least one type of IQ test that's actually in use today measures more than just pattern recognition. It had pattern recognition, yes, but also working memory, accumulated knowledge, clarity of explanation, and a few other things that were given less focus.

  • Redefining "intelligence" to mean "effectiveness" is dumb imo

  • Yeah it was rough for a year or two there... but Valve did a massive banwave and now I've only seen a group of bots join my server twice in the last year, and we could kick them easily

  • I don't smoke but my naturally high food curiosity and low inhibitions make me pretty similar in that department to someone who does

  • This functionality has been ripped out of the game

    Nope, see the server browser ingame

    The game has been dead, riddled with bots

    Not anymore!

    • Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from?

  • "suddenly"

  • Self-hosting isn't too bad. With a properly configured router (not as hard as it sounds), if you're hosting something like a lemmy instance, the worst people can do is spam you with too many requests. An ISP that disallows self-hosting is a bummer though... having a static IP is pretty essential.

    • Greg KH: "But for new code / drivers, writing them in Rust where these types of bugs just can't happen (or happen much much less) is a win for all of us, why wouldn't we do this?"

    Jump

  • So true

    • What is the most bizzare opinion you have ever heard from a teacher or professor

    Jump

  • Maybe he meant there's no such thing in the context of that application?

  • Anyone who replies to this with "any mistakes in C code are the developer's fault" should be banned from the kernel. I know someone't going to try it.

  • It's not about anyone's feelings. The right thing to do is the thing that will result in the best outcome, which means convincing them to vote with us rather than against us (and themselves).
