@hcs I loved that first thing in the morning in Paris.

@bird This toot was a rollercoaster.

@amic I'd have been very tempted to do that to mine but I don't want to mess the range up

@amic Fuckin' A

My biggest criticism is a couple of talking heads repeat the axiomatic 'singleplayer is dead' in the segment about HL3. One of them was a Black Mesa developer, which to me just seems bizarre.

It would be more truthful to just admit that studios aren't interested in single player because it is hard, and hard is expensive.

On the subject of Half Life, I really enjoyed this documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQLEW1c-69c

@fribbledom When Steam for Linux came out I really immersed myself in it, and didn't update my hardware for ages. I had a Phenom 965 and 550ti which wasn't a lot, but it ran every Linux flagship title just fine.

I also had a Windows partition and observed the same thing you did; performance tended to improve in most titles over their lifetime.

I completely got the trepidation of the Black Mesa team when it came to Xen: The original was complete shit.

This however, looks like a great effort:

@amic @bird Have you heard o birdsite

I slipped in the snow on Sunday; I put a lot of force through my left knee. It's been difficult and painful since. If it doesn't improve in 24hrs, I don't see much choice but to get it looked at.

@mwlucas I love it. I also keep discovering that old chestnut "Better is the enemy of good".

@SarcasmKid Between this and garlic bread I am sensing a theme

@qwazix I think around five years ago there was still a degree of fury around this subject, but Zuckerberg et al knew they could just keep opening the Overton Window further.

I was discussing this with a friend - it's now practically a given that social media companies will not be the least bit responsible with user data.

Also using Sakura again had me forgetting how good it is for readability, especially colour support in Mutt.

@anthracite Oh crikey
