Turns out it's from an old translation of James 4:15, here formulated as: "[If] so the Lord wills and we live"

The English equivalent would be "God willing" and in Dutch, a lovely archaic phrase: "Zo de Heere wil en wij leven"

I started the Witcher 3 and immediately the world feels like a checklist and for some reason I can't take Gerald seriously. He looks comical, like a teen's drawing, and the movement feels completely ungrounded.

  • Circut Superstars. I'll never become good at this but close to finishing it on Amateur
  • Diablo 4. I dislike the MMOification and despite Blizzard, but got it with the Xbox so might as we'll play it. The campaign and monster bashing are fine
  • Sound Shapes. Sweet game, taking it one album at a time
  • Trials Rising. Cleaning up the Hard tracks and that ain't no lie
  • Dirt 2.0 demo. I'm OK at CMR 2 and 05 but I have no idea how to control my car in this one. It'll come with time

Programming. I don't like where it's heading and I don't like the culture

I like retro programming, in particular Windows 2000.

Now I'm making a little 3D toy now that works with OpenGL on Windows with WGL and on X11 with GLX (also on Cygwin). No third party abstractions!

I want to keep adding backends, like DX 7, 9, Vulkan, WebGL, bare Linux KMS, and then stuff like screen space reflections, shadows, materials, ray tracing where possible, maybe get it running on a console or two too.

I was about to move on until I read someone asking if this was a Bit Trip Runner clone. NOW you have my attention

Netherlands: successive governments have been putting off actually addressing issues causing them to become a pile of confounding crises, such as nitrogen emissions and housing, which complicates migration, etc.

Note that ProtonMail actually supports automatic encryption to email accounts that publish their public keys in a Web Key Directory, which I’ve set up for mine. When you type such an email address in the To field, it’ll turn into a special color with a lock symbol.

Likewise, ProtonMail also exposed a WKD so people can send encrypted emails to ProtonMail accounts. I don’t know of any mail clients that support this though (I used the command line to pull keys)

Flikken Maastricht. Not because it’s so good but we always try to match the drum beats in the intro

Go read The Freeze Frame Revolution!

 

I have the Mega Drive gamepad variation pictured in this article, where the d-pad is connected to a plastic circular piece on the back of the PCB where it triggers 4 rubber buttons.

But the down direction is very unresponsive. I've cleaned it well in the hopes that sticky plastic was the cause, but it wasn't.

Any tips? Replacement rubbers, a piece of padding maybe?

 

Selaco is a first person shooter on the GZDoom engine. It's currently for sale on Steam and in early access.

The GPL source code is included with the game. I'm not interested in playing the game but I am curious about the source. Can someone upload/mirror it for me somewhere? It doesn't seem to be on GitHub yet.

(Obviously this is legal, it's the very point of the GPL - GZDoom is free to build upon but under the condition that those freedoms are retained)

 

I have the original Gran Turismo and Colin McRae Rally 2.0 for PS1 on disc, playing on a PS2 slim and PS3. On both, I can steer with the D-pad but not with the analog stick, even though both games advertise analog controls on the box.

The PS3 controller doesn't have an analog toggle button but the PS2 controller does. Pressing it enables the analog stick but it feels like it's still digital.

How is this supposed to work?

 

Last Saturday, ten thousand people converged on the Utrechtsebaan in The Hague right between Parliament and the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate to demand an end to € 37.5 billion worth of fossil subsidies.

Once established, the blockade was solemnly opened by XR musicians performing Mozart’s Requiem.
