Valve has been quite supportive of fan projects like Black Mesa and Delta Particles and only demanding to remove Half-Life from the name to protect their trademark. But I guess they don’t want to risk involving Nintendo.

Laws and terms are for the poor. I am sure big players like miHoYo, Niantic and Game Freak (Pokemon Go/Scarler/Violet) already have their own agreements and would not be affected by this.
Can’t wait an indie developer to go bankrupt because the super secret algorithm counted updates as new installations and the developer gets billed multiple times for their whole player base.
Well, the Puritans didn’t escape persecution to Americas, but felt they didn’t have enough freedom to persecute others according to their views and went to find that.
That is exactly what happened with third pound burgers.

That’s the difference, they hoard wealth and not currency. The value of assets do not go down when currency loses its value with inflation.
Wealthy have little to no cash that would lose value with inflation, they just buy everything on credit and have their wealth tied to assets and investments that probably gain value at least at the pace of inflation.
Sanna Marin was not supposed to be the prime minister, but the old white guy fucked up so bad he had to resign after half a year and they had to switch in a hurry. The last government was a sum of multiple coincidences.
The Finns party coming in power has been on the cards for a decade. Actually they have been for a while before, but the moderates, including the party founder, chosen as the ministers split off when people running the current party line were elected to run the party. This time the National Coalition decided to take the risk again with the finns party, so they wouldn’t have to compromise their economic policies with the leftist parties and the risk seems to have backfired more quickly and worse they anticipated.
“smart” devices aka Internet asbestos
I have become so clumsy with the wires, it was less wasteful for me to buy wireless earbuds with wire only between them. The modern codecs are high quality and I only use them outside, so the nuance would be anyway lost.
Smart speakers I do not have. I feel weird talking to devices and I would have to do it in English because they support my native language poorly if at all. I’m not sure if they even are officially available here.
Everything unnecessarily connected to the Internet should have this on them, because they have very little security auditing and all support is dropped very early on the lifetime of the appliance. https://kissa.depili.fi/internet_asbestos_52x32_cmyk.pdf
I have had some people refuse to even try Baba Is You, because it looks ugly.
I had The Hex a few years even installed, so I have tried it, but only after getting familiar with the style of Daniel Mullins’ games with Inscryption I pushed far enough to get interested. Still very clunky, but worth it.
This. Not Scottish, but I wear a kilt whole summer everywhere. Fortunately our company does not have a dress code at the office.
Metal Gear Rising Revengeance
I really like the name Pinguini Tattici Nuclear. The music is good, but not quite something I would put on my playlist.
Baba Yetu always gives me chills.
I have never been good at remembering lyrics and often kind of ignore them. I have been surprised multiple times about what songs that I have listened for a while are about when the lyrics finally click in my head.
I enjoy more the sound of the artist and in good music you don’t need to understand the words for the emotion to come through.
Like Memories of Dust is one of the most emotional songs even though the lyrics are in [human language]
For me also. Eurovision has been very meh for me, but this year I actually liked many of the songs and Germany really didn’t deserve the last place in finals.
I don’t like the style Käärijä’s albums are produced, but live he is awesome. Cha cha is even better when he can do his own thing instead of worrying the choreography.
I’m not sure what you mean. Do you have a source for more complete explanation?
H.261 is way older than Doom and already uses motion compensation and inter-picture prediction.
The aformentioned demos work by recording all input control states for every tic and then replaying them later in-engine. But I don’t think that parallels video encoding.
EDIT: Sorry, I misread. But yeah, Doom does not send deltas but the multiplayer also works by sending those same input states every tic that demo recording saves.
Exceptions actually have a huge performance hit, you should only use them in a HALT EVERYTHING IMMEDIATELY situations and never in anything that could be called repeatedly. We have refactored few of those to be 10-100 times faster by just returning success: false instead of throwing and catching exceptions.
Because that is all they got. Even if they make some profit on the sale of the hardware, it is peanuts compared to the game and tie-in sales. Losing control of even a single IP would be a serious hit to them.
