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.

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.
For the search you need to know the instance someone is on, I have had the issue of knowing someone is using mastodon or compatible service and even their username, but not the inatance they’re on because I don’t know them personally.
The one largeish local instance that shut down recently had the covenant in the server description, until one day it wasn’t and the server shut down in a month.
Switching servers leaves a lot behind. You can only force your followers to be switched to the new account and export and reimport your own follows. But everything you had posted gets left behind. You can download the whole archive for yourself, but can not currently republish it from the new account.
Still it’s the best social media I have used this far and am expecting it became garbage in a few years now that it is getting popular, because they always do. But let’s have fun while it lasts.
Except you need to choose an instance, can not find your frienda because they chose another one and after a few weeks you find out the admin of your instance is quitting if you didn’t choose mastodon.social
“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.
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.
Multiplayer obviously, Doom has had multiplayer since the first one
Priorities shifted, “we’re doing good” became “we need to reduce the workforce” over weekend and most of the people who they would have liked to keep decided this is a good time to look for something new.
This makes an exact copy with DRM and all.
DVD encryption has been completely broken and that’s why there is free software for playing DVDs.
BluRay encryption has not been and has effectively prevented me from bying any BluRays. Wasted money on a drive way back when bying my current desktop and I didn’t realize this. Tried some commercial software, but they neither didn’t seem to reliably play the movies from library I tested with or triggered some more advanced DRM on the disc.
Some people cannot seem to even be able to login.
Finland has all around signs for foreigners that the tap water is not only drinkable, but very high quality. https://yle.fi/a/3-10303369
But for some unfathomable reason, maybe to push more expensive drinks, many restaurants charge for tap water. Except they do not tell it in advance, you just get surprised by it on the bill and swear never to go that place again.
I like using Firefox, but it’s a bit ironic to have google analytics tracking on the page you declare to protect the users privacy.
