Element kicks Windows 7 support out of the browser version on the second to last Tuesday of May, thus forcing me onto Linux.

The update did not fix the state bug in native calls.

Chuck also randomly included a render from Codename: Loop (formerly Half-Life: Loop.) I presume he thought it was one of his renders, but I'm not sure how he would have ended up with it.

Like, it is recommended to delid them to replace the paste, but golly!

I guess let this be a reminder to those with PS3s (and 360s,) it is getting time to redo the thermal paste.

I have never had a PS3 (let alone a Slim) delid itself when removing the motherboard, until today. 😵‍💫

@reboot programs refuse to have sane defaults, so this might as well be true.

@mikota 1.1 introduced weapon prediction. It is unknown if TFC was the root cause for the bob change, it appears more so they forgot to copy over some code from the engine when they moved player move and the view bob to the client module. CS likely never took advantage of the change was probably just a raw port to HL 1.1 so people could continue to play the mod.
2025-01-26
@mikota The bob changed when c/s prediction was introduced in 1.1 HL, seemingly due to a mistake. When developers upgraded to the new SDK (SDK 2.0) to be able to run on HL 1.1 clients, they would have been forced to change the weapon bob. The bob change wasn't a decision by the CS team at any point.
