Recent discussion about the perils of doors in gamedev reminded me of a bug caused by a door in a game you may have heard of called "Half Life 2". Are you sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin.

The future isn’t exhausting because of how fast it moves.

It’s exhausting because nothing ever stays still long enough to master it.

@Nick_Stevens_graphics Hi Nick, a few years ago you posted on Twitter about some unused N1 grid fins being reused for various things. I posted it in the @offnom Discord (see screenshot).

Your Twitter account is gone, but do you have the pictures you posted or more information on it? Also, were fuselage or fairing parts reused in similar ways? Thanks in advance!

Edit: I got those screenshots from imgur. It might be from Xitter, with the account deleted or maybe threads with the account not visible without login? 🤷

Objectively, it's far more troubling that they're banning Toni Morrison and David Levithan and Art Spiegelman and any books that even hint at representing the right's Horsemen of the Apocalypse

But there's something so completely batshit about banning _Calvin and Hobbes_, a comic strip so family friendly that it ran uncensored in the most conservative newspapers in the country for more than a decade
