Portal 64 uses a proprietary library by Nintendo (namely libultra). This library cannot be freely used, and Nintendo can sue anyone for using it without their permission. Portal is Valve’s intellectual property, so there’s a risk that Valve can be dragged in into this if Nintendo takes legal action.

Valve doesn’t want to risk dealing with Nintendo’s lawyers, so to be on the safe side they ask for Portal 64 to be taken down instead. The risks might be slim, but Valve don’t want to take any chances with Nintendo.

I want a sex reveal party. Who’s having sex in the bedroom right now? Let’s find out!

I managed to memorize it for a test in networking class. The teacher was surprised someone actually managed to get it right.

For me it finally did. A long time team member who in the past year probably had negative productivity was let go. Sucks for that person, but a big relief for everybody else.

Now this is Sweden where unions and labor laws are strong, so usually it’s difficult to fire long time employees like that.

It’s probably just some basic script triggering on stuff like “died”, “all lost” and “I have nothing”.

The Bush administration is not the same as the Trump administration. When people voted for Trump they didn’t vote for the Republican Party. They voted for Trump.

Trump was for example incredibly vocal about reducing the support to NATO. Of course the Russians would do anything to make those ideas happen.

Anaconda in TimeSplitters 2, mostly for the incredibly catchy music.

Wait until you realize PS3 is older than what SNES was when PS3 was released.

No one uses Gimp for professional use. Gimp is not a full replacement of what Photoshop does.

Apparently it’s worth $20/month.

Adobe did it because everybody and their grandmother just pirated Photoshop instead of paying that huge one time fee (licenses costed around $900 not counting inflation). It wasn’t until they went with the subscription model when people actually started to pay for Photoshop.

I will never forgive them for closing down free radical. It’s the closest we’ve been to a new Timesplitters game in a long time.

The less we need of it, the better either way.

That the Game Genie IP now belongs to EA?

Let’s hope it’s about as successful as Facebook’s Libre/Diem

“Just the right amount of water”

Version numbering scenes are also arbitrary. In the case of Linux, the scheme is “Bump up the minor version until it’s too big. In that case bump up the major version instead”.

I’m going to use this excuse from now on

WebX: return of ActiveX

One benefit of using dropwhile is that (with a bit of practice) it can actually be easier to read than a for loop. All for loops look similar. You need to read the for loop line by line to understand what it really do.

With dropwhile (or map, filter and reduce), it’s immediately obvious it will drop all elements until a certain condition turns false.
