Stam said: The Half-Life: Alyx team believes that the best way to enjoy the new game is to play through the old ones
???
So the Alyx team knows that the new game is cr@p, compared to the old ones?

Thanks for the heads-up, Kent, but, these would be redundant, for me, since I am already living a half-life.

The Tony Orlando and Boney M ones?

I'll admit I'm not sure what this means. Google didn't help much...

Sorry, I'm still not getting the link between that and Half-Life...
Dude between 3m20 and 3m27 looks like he's just stepped up to the mic and has no idea what the lyrics are...

Mind you, I could be said to be slightly in error, because CDs didn't exist at the time when Tony Orlando and Boney M produced their timeless masterpieces.
They've been on CDs since, though, so I'm letting myself get away with it -- and no, you may not call witnesses.
Not even remotely fun or even vaguely interesting fact:
Boney M's "Daddy Cool" was released as the first ever 12" single.
It was cr@p.

Gotcha.
So you somehow made a link between my Half-Life CDs, and audio CDs. That's a stretch, my friend.  It wasn't so long ago I've stopped using CDs that I'm now thinking of them as one and the same (as audio CDs).

Hey, nobody mentioned Half-Life CDs.
The natural assumption, given the information contained in your message, was that you were going to console yourself by listening to some of your favourite mouldy oldies.
I'm sure that that's what everyone else thought, too -- I mean, anyone who can't see obvious meanings will write pretty buggy code.

I did. I wrote:

...when I found out it was one of those "free to play" things for a limited time only. My CDs allow me to play without any sort of limit.
I don't have the bandwidth to play multi-GB games that I have to delete after someone else's arbitrarily chosen amount of time.

"Old CDs" to me means music that I re-bought after I'd already bought it on vinyl or cassette, and before I bought it again digitally.
Rule 1 of writing text:
- If something can be understood in two ways, 79.3% of readers will understand it the way you don't want them to.
Rule 2:
- Especially if they're sarky buggers like me.

That's where I was coming from when I mentioned it still hasn't been all that long since I've stopped using CDs as a data storage medium. So I still primarily think of CDs as something holding digital information rather than audio. And yeah, I realize audio CDs are holding digital information (if you want to go down that route), but --> :-p
What were we talking about again?

Woo hoo! Sold my first UWP app in the Windows store (unless there's a bug in the analytics). Released this one yesterday. Here's hoping.

Link...or it didn't happen.
Seriously, can we see the app in the windows store? Please provide link.

There's a discussion I've never seen here on CP. Has anyone here ever made some non-trivial amount of money off of an app they've published in the MS Store?

You can have a great app, but if you don't tend to it, it will get buried under the hundreds of "YouTube How-To video" apps and the like.

So, rather than spend time on improving your app, you have to spend all your time trying to bump it.
What a great system.

I'm curious if anyone has tried or is using UNO?
Thoughts / comments on it as a viable development platform.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Hadn't heard of it before now.
I tried the sample (https://raytracer-mono-aot.platform.uno/[^]) on a VM that doesn't have much RAM and it failed. Tried it on another machine and it worked (both on latest FireFox).
I'd like to see the dev environment and try developing a small android app to give better evaluation.
Looks interesting though.
