Honkers

Scott's dickheadedness in interviews has put me off what little interest I had in the film.  Napoleon is too interesting a person for accuracy to be so casuallydisregarded in a favour of a few cinematic set pieces and a whole load of scowling.  It looks like trash.

I think John Ternus would be a good shout, and in some ways the obvious choice.  He's a product and design guy who seems to be taking point on lots of product launches, is reportedly well liked, and has relative youth and seemingly bundles of energy on his side.

I guess Apple's pivot to software and services is the main strike against him, but I still think of Apple as predominantly a hardware company.

Man, wish they’d come out with a new one (non-VR). 

Talk about lazy. 

Half life was epic. Half life 2 left us wanting much more. Then… nothing for 100 years until… a vr game. 

Come on, dude. 

There's a game mod to make Half-Life: Alyx playable in 2D.

Remember, Valve does not make trilogies. 

Half-Life:Alyx (no-vr) works on Mac too using Crossover:



Potentially playable on Vision Pro but it runs a bit slow on the entry hardware. Might have to run it via a Mac system.

Lol, run a VR game in a non-VR mod on a VR headset, except not on the VR headset, but on a nearby computer, that cannot run it native, but can run the mod inside a compatibility layer.

Ladies and gentlemen, the state of gaming at Apple.  The absolute state of it.

1) Dua Lipa is asking good, deep questions in the interview. Better than journalists usually do.

2) I've never seen curb spelled as kerb before. It's not wrong over all, but since it's quoting Tim Cook, an American, I'd say the quote should use the American spelling.

Article author is British, BBC is British, Dua Lipa the show host is British.  I think either is ok.

Maybe the quote was copied from a BBC transcription or closed captions?

If Siri is learning she’s a damn slow learner.
