It depends on how exactly you define things, but... no, not really.

As of right now, my backlog is 37 games. I actually made it a project to clear my backlog this year - one game a week will put me there. I’ve thought about making a blog series about it, but I don’t know if anyone would care to read about it.

Don’t Valve employee accounts have access to every game on Steam? I know there’s the “Valve Friend & Family” accounts that get every Valve game in perpetuity, but I recall hearing Valve employee accounts just get everything.

Congress didn’t give NASA enough funding to dual-source. Just going with SpaceX is costing them about as much as they’re spending on SLS, per year.

Uh, are you sure the display driver chip is in the console/GPU? Both the Bloomberg and Wikipedia articles linked describe it as a part of monitors, smartphones, TVs, or other devices with an embedded screen - it’s the bit that takes the digital framebuffer and turns it into analog voltages sent to the LCD or OLED or…

They have fabs for image sensors. I don’t know what node they’re on (AIUI image sensors don’t benefit much from smaller nodes as the detector itself needs to be a certain size) or if they can do enough layers to make a modern-ish CPU.

A semiconductor fab is expensive.

The last several rockets (SN8, SN9, SN10, SN11) have all been of the same design, with only minor alterations to try to fix issues that came up during the test campaign. The propellant pressurization system is kind of a kludge - the autogenous pressurization on SN8 didn’t work, so they tried using helium…

They do have online couches. But they’re often sub-par. Not always, some of them are just as great as the IRL couch experience, but I’ve watched many runs brought down by bad commentary.

I expect they see fan art sales as 1) not directly competing with their product, and 2) free advertising.

The art is protected by copyright, and copyright automatically belongs to its creator, if and until they assign otherwise.

In most racing games, as in real-world racing, if you bump into another racer and slow down a bit, all you’ve done is add a second or two to your lap time, and might even have gained a competitive advantage. It takes an actual wreck to take someone off the field.

Loading times have an unfortunate tendency to be at the bottom of the priority list.

It’s a motivational tactic.

Hell, I saw one today.

For the electric car version, why not base the icon off the motor windings? It’s a nice simple geometric shape, but shouldn’t be too easily confused with other potential warning lights. And it just looks hella mechanical - even if the driver doesn’t know what it is or what it’s called, it looks like a spinny vortex…

Ah, I didn’t think about that. Low temperatures would certainly be a problem, at jet altitudes. A solvable problem - with work you can turn just about any batch of hydrocarbons into another - but a problem nonetheless.

I’m actually kind of surprised they can’t already do pure biofuel.

Many apartment parking lots, at least out in the suburbs, have grass and trees between rows of cars. Digging a trench through dirt is a lot easier than running cable under pavement. And many of them have lights already installed, which means power lines are already present, even if the lines themselves aren’t enough,…

True, but there’s no 120V outlets out there either. I could maybe throw a 300ft extension cable off my balcony but something tells me the leasing agency would frown on that.
