Americans are about to make pantomime illegal with how rediculously broad this bill is.

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.

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.

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.

While working in our archives, I found an old metal box. Inside was a long-forgotten roll of silent 8mm film marked "The Philippines 1942"
Excited at possibly discovering lost WW II footage, I sent it to specialists for care and digitization.
Yesterday, it came back. On it was:

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!

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.

I like the false equivalence of "doxxing" to "using completely public unencrypted ADS-B info mandated by the FAA to make fun of someone with more money than sense".
If Elon really cared about his privacy/safety and not his ego, the option is simple: don't use a private jet.

Here is my critique on the Quake remaster:
Quote Tweet
Replying to @Rocket_Pan_ and @Tyler_McV
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

Please for the love of god no.
Just release the code under a permissive licence and let people do source ports.
Sincerely,

(Nightdive and their Kex engine ""ports"" are cancer.)

I've only seen the piss checkmark so far -- an indicator that someone is currently affected by jarate and is vulnerable to mini-crits.

Youโll start seeing gold checkmarks appear in your timeline โ those are indicators for businesses. Soon afterward youโll see gray checkmarks which are for government and multilateral accounts.

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.

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.

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.
