Since then we have changed the name and added many features.


I’ve been waiting for this release. You also seem to have changed the price, to be $60 more expensive.

That’s a shame. The current price is what I’d immediately pay, if I was getting two.

I’m sad this isn’t in the price range I’m willing to pay. I guess I’ll just build my own.


You're literally describing a product and a company that already exists (Analogue Super Nt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Nt)


I've never paid that much attention to retro hardware - I still have a lot of the originals in my parents' garage.

I just moved, which gave me an opportunity to give all the old Rock Band instruments that were too loud for my last apartment a fresh try. It's disappointing how bad RCA-era systems like the Wii looks on a 4K OLED. The upscaling is blurry as shit.

I've been trying to get all my songs imported into YARG (an open source Rock Band clone), but if I can't get that working, maybe I should get a scanline generator. (It applies a filter to the video to replicate the look of a CRT.)


You can get better video output from the Wii than RCA. It won't be 4K but it will be much sharper:

There was also an official component cable which would look much nicer than the composite that the Wii comes with. But your 4K tv almost definitely don't have component input.


Thanks for the tip!


You can see the client code in `www`: https://github.com/solcloud/Counter-Strike/tree/master/www

The client is a lot of JavaScript (with graphics via Three.js)


yes, client code is JavaScript using Three.js (https://threejs.org/) library, but since server and client is decoupled, client code can be implemented using anything, there is also php cli interactive interface, but most users prefer javascript one which is currently only one with real gui


We have a large, negative impact on ourselves. Just think of what we'll do to animals!



this website is great - should truthfully be 50% of the index.html of every language project ever.


The release notes for 5.2 are probably a better place to get a sense of what the release includes: https://krita.org/en/krita-5-2-release-notes/


For anyone just getting started, no video tutorials really clicked for me until I found Grant Abbitt's: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn3ukorJv4vuU3ILv3g3x...

Obviously no guarantees of instant savantism, but never say never!!


Grant Abbitt's the best. His Udemy course "Complete Blender Creator: Learn 3D Modelling for Beginners" is really great for a complete novice. It's a really well thought out style of "repeat after me, now let's do it again and I'll give you a bit less guidance, now here's the thing again and you try it on your own, okay now I'll walk through it." Very intentional, very well done, broad introduction to many tools.

He also has some short free videos of the same style: "here's a simple shape, produce it on your own, now I'll show you how I would've done it."

Of course, it's on Udemy, so the price rapidly vacillates between $10 and $190 according to no system knowable to man, but when it's on the cheap end it's a great deal.


Thank you both for that recommendation. I'll be sure to look at his courses when the next Blender release comes out ;-)


It's a fun week or two of evening activities. Gives you that "oooo, my thing looks like the picture on the box" tutorial rush.


"Mad World" by Tears for Fears


Have to put my favorite version up here as well. Gary Jules on the Donnie Darko soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0y1kFxblmY


This is the version I based it off of


I think the Riverdale cover of it is more known among a lot of people.

It seems to be the version that they sample from in meme videos on YouTube and TikTok where they try to express a feeling of sadness either in honesty or ironically. Where they put the video in grayscale mode and put the part of this song over it that goes “all around me are familiar faces, worn out places” and so on.

They also use the song The Song of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel for this same purpose.

https://music.apple.com/en/album/the-sound-of-silence/192480...

This latter one is the one that goes “hello darkness my old friend” and so on.


I wonder if the apps are native or if they're using some cross-platform framework. I would assume Xamarin, but I could also see them using React Native because their desktop app is Electron and React.


There is some grousing[1] that a cross platform technology, including Microsoft's own Xamarin, wasn't used and that fully platform native development is a waste. Was it mentioned somewhere specifically (maybe during GH the keynote that I didn't watch) that SwiftUI was used? That would be the only way to square the tweeter's statement that only 20% of mobile users would be able to use it, he must mean only those on iOS 13, but not totally sure. Hightlighting Dark Mode and a good iPad version would play into SwiftUI's narrative but the framework still seems a bit new for an app of this caliber.

iOS 13 adoption is much higher than 20%.


The iOS app is 100% Swift and the Android app is 100% Kotlin.


I haven't played with it for too long, but the app seems reasonably native.


React native is an inferior product to IONIC when you want to have your own UX style which github probably want. CSS is unmatched that's as simple as that. Moreover, they would be able to reuse far more code.


> when you want to have your own UX style

I don't want you to have your own UX style.


I can verify this from recent Apple dealings. A subscription for a single person that doesn't use in-app purchases is a no-go.


Yet and still there are dozens of apps that force subscriptions outside of the store. Why can I never find a documented case of Apple banning apps that require subscriptions outside of the App Store?
