Not the way AMD are going. I installed Linux the other day and now all I am getting is the desktop wallpaper. I guess one can dream though. 😴

About time... Source with its DX8 roots and mid-level loading pauses was looking seriously dated five years IMHO. Yes, with the right developer it was capable of producing some pleasant looking visuals but they were still far from cutting edge technically. Even Portal 2 was spoilt by unnecessary loading. A DX11 Source 2 engine would be most welcome.

About time and I hope it's true. Source was great but is at its end for quite some years now, even though it can still look pretty good in the right hands.

Man is he one fat bastard, every time a new pic surfaces of him I swear he's 50lbs heavier.

Fat or not, he's a billionaire and could easly hire a proffesional trainer/nutritionist any time if he really cared to. It looks like he's happy with himself like this though. 🤓

You reckon this guys related to Kim Dot com by any chance? They look the same. And maybe thats why Mega Upload got taken down. Kim threatend to release Half Life 3 source code to public, so Gabe narked him out to the suits at Hollywood. Next time on season 3 of Bulls**t in the City..... EA's MOH hits no.1 on the charts and Id software release's a new game.

No one should be content looking like that. ESPECIALLY someone who has the means/resources to do something about it. He could be just as lazy and get a procedure done rather than *gasp* diet and exercise. Instead he's huge and paying women with anti-sperm leggings to take pictures with him. Oye. Brilliant man, but a sloth.

Am I to blame or Mcdonalds for that new Bacon Cheddar Burger they've been pushing hard on commercials? 🤓

The loading in Portal 2 was so damn irritating. I think that if it had been any company other than Valve, it had been heavily accused of being a "console port"
