And then there was the Quake 2 engine which gave us Deus Ex, American McGee’s Alice and then (through the modified GoldSrc version) Half-Life, Counter Strike and countless others! The family tree of 3D engines is really interesting.

But I thought LAME Ain’t an MP3 Encoder?!
Actually I never got that. WINE isn’t an emulator, but LAME very much is an MP3 encoder

Vance faced an onslaught of bad press, as many commentators—including Harris’ step-daughter, Taylor Swift fans, Democratic officials, actor Jennifer Aniston, and several conservative women pundits—decried his comment.
My reading comprehension must be pretty bad because for a second it sounded like Taylor Swift was Kamala Harris’ step daughter.
No, the BBC is funded through the licence fee, not the budget. It’s a weird system but the idea is that the government can’t just turn on/off the funding spigot to put pressure on the BBC.
Of course, they still manage to put pressure on in other ways, by appointing board members etc
Cool I guess we’ll all just die then.
Roman Polanski is still living in France, being shielded from accountability from his crimes. So when the French film industry complains about child actors being too well-protected from abuse, I’m going to take that with quite a lot of seasoning.
Yeah I guess so. But the fact that the police arrested him 2 days before the insurrection, ostensibly to prevent the insurrection itself, and then it happened anyway and everyone seemed super unprepared for it, idk the whole thing seems a bit weird. It’s possible that he’s just outlived his usefulness, but I wonder what was said in those 2 days after his arrest but before the 6th.
I don’t understand the story with this guy. Apparently he was arrested on January 4th, and had been an FBI informant for years: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-proudboys-leader-idUSKBN29W1PE
How is he now getting a 33 year long sentence if we was an informant?
I wish my government kept companies in check a bit more than they do. I live in the UK where all the water companies are owned by hedge funds and they keep discharging raw sewage into all our waterways. I feel we could do well to take back some control from them.
Exactly - what I’m trying to say is that if I was dying and I decided that even though I’d never particularly been into, say, Enya before but that now I really, really was into Enya and that in fact, I thought Enya was great and that Enya died for our sins and I wanted an Enya themed funeral with pictures of Enya and lots and lots of mentions of Enya, then I think it would be a bit bloody rich for my sister to ban all mention of Enya from my funeral. Yeah?
There’s so much in Infinite Jest, but I think my favourite would be “Blood Sister: One Tough Nun”.
