A few takeaways from the move:

• Any modifications must be released as mods
• Players downloading the mods must own the base game
• The mods must be free and no aspect of the mod can be monetized.
• The mods can now access TF2 steam inventory for cosmetics and weapons (but cannot modify the inventory)

Makes me wonder if Valve saw that and got some inspiration for Half Life...

Any downturn is likely to have single day gains. Best to look at the big picture rather than cherry pick a single positive day:

WhAt'S a CoMpUtEr?

I mean, what better way to sell a new and untrusted device than to put your own trust (and life) in the product.

Would you sell a bullet proof vest if you didn't feel safe wearing it?

Would you buy a bullet proof vest if its own inventor didn't feel safe wearing it?

Lol. It's so greedy of them!

Jokes aside. It's an interesting distinction to make. Even though the source code is freely available, it doesn't mean developers have free reign to do anything they want like they could with open source software. Apart from special circumstances, everything made with the source code will still be mods.

For a little context on the scoville scale:

• 2,500,000 Ghost pepper
• 350,000 Habanero
• 50,000 Tabasco pepper
• 10,000 Jalapeno
• 2,500 Poblano
• 500 banana pepper

Wouldn't that be the same for any show car? Like, you don't want to scuff up the new tires by unnecessarily taking the car over a curb.

Granted, they should have put them away for the show, but they clearly don't have much brain power to show.

Youeu're*

Oh 100% you're right.

I'd wager this wasn't one of their first tests (and maybe not even a test at all). Looks to me like an advertisement/publicity stunt/demonstration.

I could be easily wrong since I haven't researched this exact event, but I think it's safe to assume it's more than just a test since they have cameras out.

The people with no or few friends tend to be weird but not really bad in any meaningful way: socially awkward, shy, odd interests, neurodivergent etc. Difficult to get to know, plain and simple.

*Raises hand*

TL;DR from Wikipedia: In photon upconversion, two or more incident photons of relatively low energy are absorbed and converted into one emitted photon with higher energy.

Basically photons are combined into a photon that is nearer in wavelength to visible light.

The way I see it, they are already a couple (likely boyfriend and girlfriend), but he just gets easily embarrassed and flustered. It's honestly something I can relate to. Someone I like could probably get the same reaction out of me, and I wouldn't mind.

OP could care fewer.
