Americans are about to make pantomime illegal with how rediculously broad this bill is. Goodbye Widow Twankey!

A new intro'd bill in Arizona would criminalize drag in presence of a minor as a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison and a requirement to register as a sex offender. The bill defines drag as just singing and dancing while wearing make-up. legiscan.com/AZ/text/SB1698

Please stop listening to such bumbling idiot sites like this and WCCFTech.

From a technical standpoint, Navi 33 appears to be just as a 6nm refresh of Navi 23. There is the RDNA3 architecture and the doubled FP32 units on top, but nothing more. 3dcenter.org/news/news-des-

I agree: When I inquired about licensing Source 2, I got told to "talk to Facepunch about using s&box." As much as I love some of my friends that work on s&box, it absolutely is not a valid replacement for a Source 2 SDK.

i know c#. s&box is the worst thing to happen to the source modding community and is not a replacement for a real sdk.

Here is DEATH STRANDING DC running with HDR on Linux! It's hard to show off HDR... so have a HDR Heatmap to go along with it! Anything not greyscale is brighter than 100 nits. ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿธ

New Linux gaming milestone: with the latest work from Josh Ashton, HDR can now be enabled for real games! Tested it tonight on my AMD desktop with Halo Infinite, Deep Rock Galactic, DEATH STRANDING DC. Very early and will still need some time to bake to be useful to most.

Actually being able to discover community servers would be a start The server list on the Quake remaster only shows the official Playfab servers Eventually this is going to break, because you won't be paying for that forever You know what will exist forever? Community servers 1/6

I state my reasoning for my opinion and gripes with the concept of FLP (functional logic programming) for games in this comment thread here:

Yeah... There are some slides where you can see it being used and its like... Okay this code is exactly the same as it would be in Python/Lua/whatever *except* that SetupPlayersAndSpawnPoints returns some stupid zero value type instead of a boolean for if it succeeded.

Comic sans was the right font of choice for a "metaverse programming language" that is literally just Haskell but annoying and offers no advantage for any game/media related programming.

Simon Peyton Jones gave the very first talk about Verse, the new programming language we're building for the metaverse. (Warning: this talk is for programming language theorists and implementors, not new programmers. Tutorials coming in early 2023!) twitter.com/kettlecorn/staโ€ฆ

Two PCIe connections to the CPU dedicated to M.2 slots, yet only one fat PCIe slot. Every other fat PCIe slot goes through two chipsets. Rip my IOMMU groups. Wish I checked this before purchasing. Absolutely stupid. Gigabyte X670 Aorus Elite AX, btw, DO NOT BUY.

Intel really should have mentioned DXVK in this blog post, and given the DXVK team the recognition they so very much deserve for saving Arc's performance in a way the people who literally built the chip themselves couldn't:

Okay, I think I may have been slightly too pessimistic about Portal RTX. Although I think it definitely misses the mark in many areas, there are still lots of really great assets and nice areas. I am going to write a proper review that is more constructive since the launch.
