Valve removed it because it used official N64 APIs that Nintendo holds as classified information. I think if it had totally been bottom-up crafted from scratch, it would have survived. But Valve does NOT wanna deal with a Nintendo lawyer.

Not sure if I'd call this "peril..." Call me a boomer, but if killing deliberately addicting feedback loops spells peril for the industry, then the industry has lost the plot.

Yes I too look nostalgically look back on my games having nothing but beep audio because I didn't have one of three sound cards my chosen game decided to support

All Intel CPUs have a Management Engine, basically a smaller CPU within the CPU designed for controlling the rest of the chip. It's particularly good for things like IT management or devices because it operates with direct control over the other parts of the chip. This device's firmware is based on Minix.

Bruh COSMIC is looking unbelievable. I can't wait to see it in action. Is it still on track for 1.0 before the end of the year?

I mean, Halo was originally called "Monkey Nutz," so I wouldn't put much stock in the game content relating to the codename

During exams my university would drag an old car into the middle of the campus, and students were allowed to beat it to a pulp for $5. They'd give you a bat and you could just smash it to pieces.

10/10, would smash again.

Lots of single-board computers. I think Pine64 has a RISC-V tablet coming out. And Framework, bless their souls, have floated the idea of offering motherboards for their laptops that are ARM64 or RISC-V. Let us hope and pray.

IDK man I'm a grown adult and I died 2,000 times before completing the game. I know I'm not the best player ever but giving it to a 5yo may lead to problems
