Kids, I'd suspect. More and more of them are stuck exclusively on tablets.

From what I can tell, there isn't even a version of Roblox Studio available. Scratch seems to work though.

I'm really disappointed that "Edenborough" isn't some hitherto unknown place with a similar name to the one I'm thinking of.

Flashpunk?

This is cool as hell but why sell yourself short? The rest of the tree is pretty cool too.

IIRC Torque3D is based on Tribes 2 but a lot has been replaced over the years.

If only USB was peer to peer like FireWire. Then again, there'd probably be some trade-off to that.

Just off the top of my head, Ross Scott on youtube (AccursedFarms) has plenty of videos on the subject. A few of them are tucked away in reviews but he now has a dedicated "dead game news" series.

These may not be games you'd want to play but the important message is that it's concerning that the biggest publishers (Ubisoft, EA etc.) can release stuff that will randomly die at some point in the future for no good reason and that they won't even release a patch or server software so you can play the product you paid them for.

It's a fun little thing but BEWARE! It's still a bit buggy and crashy* and rough around the edges. You can kinda see what Zep is going for but a lot of it is quite mysterious and there's little in the way of API docs (as-in, people are having to print all the global lua tables to figure out how to do stuff)

*Not as much as 0.1a but there's still kinks to be worked out for 0.1c.

I've always wondered what Japanese console style games would look like on the Amiga and whether it was underpowered or I just didn't like the design of most of it's games.

Bonk got a fab conversion by Factor 5 but they were wizards.

Completely detached from the debugging experience but that actually looks like a cute little custom GUI framework ...and it's all in C!

I agree that we need a new - less crufty - standard to replace HTML/CSS/JS but there's another point which I feel has been sorely missed in previous efforts.

I want a FUN standard. I want to make cool looking sites that are relatively scalable based on user hardware.

Alternatives like Gopher and Gemini never really scratched that itch due to how sterile they are.

I only know about this one because it was parodied at the end of a Ren and Stimpy episode (Ren Needs Help!) and I thought it was the funniest punchline I'd ever heard. It's always a little disappointing to find out that something cool was actually referencing something else but knowing that the president actually said this helps dull it.

I'm confused. How do they expect to arrest the entire house of commons?

In-house non-llvm compiler? Ooh! This looks fun!

Will definately give this a peruse.

Bob Nystrom's Crafting Interpreters is generally well regarded these days although I'm unaware of any of the classic "so you want to build a programming language" texts.

Facebook, Twitter et al have entire office floors to deal with legal threats.

The UK police love to go after "soft" targets and there's no-one softer than someone who's life can immediately be ruined by arresting them and thus getting them fired due to missing work.

Edit: I now see you mean "host their own personal content" but the point still stands.

Is there an accompanying VenerealDiseaseRecord?

That seems like the sort of thing that this would tie to, seeing as this tracks prophylactic status and nothing else.

I'm very shocked that these were only discovered so recently (Well. If you consider the early 2000's to be "recent". I'd have assumed that we'd have found these out earlier)

I suppose that's why they were all the rage in childrens' books and museums around that time.

"Fun-Size".

Although, like many more famous people who've made this observation: Where's the "fun" in less chocolate?

You've just given me a wonderful flashback to Adam and Joe. (Hopefully not region locked by Channel 4!)

I can't believe that they're encouraging MORE Unity games to be riddled with ads. Isn't that the (admittedly unfair but true for the mobile market) stereotype?

That engine popped into my head again today and I'm pretty sure that we're still no closer to finding out what actually happened.

Most likely some beef with Autodesk.

Also I'm not sure whay JB is expecting in 5 years when he releases a paid version and all the languages that were inspired by it are more commonplace.

I have one serious issue that I haven't seen mentioned before.

Wouldn't this open up a giant legal loophole for people to claim that ther CSAM is "just Ai generated"?

Yes, mandatory watermarking could be considered a solution ...but it still introduces a giant layer of doubt.

I looked through the IA but it was all locked behind accounts and contacting their sales team.

Presumably one of the many reasons that Tao didn't catch on (although it was a common practise back in the dark ages...)

I wish that linux installs were more self contained though. Directly dumping everything into a global folder is a bit messy and you can only ever have one version of a shared library installed unless each version is uniquely named (a problem which Windows 3.1 also had).

I wish that packages got their own folders as standard, contained all the required libraries and had unique "internal" names like java packages to avoid conflicts. Very much like what Android and Nix do.

It's a bit of a pain for the package makers and some may call it bloat but there's less chance of non-main-repo programs forcing you to connect to their own repo and potentially creating a franken distro if it's not been updated (or has been updated too far!)

Out of interest, what does "PII" stand for? I can't seem to locate it in the directory or on google.

I would seriously disagree. Plenty of CMSes switched all their photos to webp resulting in a huge loss in quality.

That's actually pretty impressive. I always assumed that AI wouldn't be too good for pixel art due to the low resolution and thus less area for the uncanny effects to be concealed.

The previous pixel AI I'd seen had this really awkward pillow shaded art-style but this is much better.

Isn't that the point of Pluton?

Can't say I'm looking forward to that.

What the devil is a "spade" other than something you make sandcastles with?
