Isn't Meta part of Facebook? So even though you don't get an account from facebook dot com itself, you still register with the company.

Unfortunately, you can only download one issue at a time instead of an entire collection, but you can preview them online and download only what you want.

AI Narratives
9th February 2022

In the world of Jpop idol, there are few things as precious as an audience's love. For aspiring stars like Koyuki, a golden ticket to stardom is all she needs to chase her dreams. But when Koyuki's biggest fan, Ritsu, is found dead, Koyuki finds he*snip*

AI Narratives

The sea was a vast, dark place, and the pirates who sailed it were fierce and dangerous men. But among them was a most unusual pirate, a cyborg. His body was covered in metal, and his eyes were bright green LED lamps, but inside he was still a man. He love*snip*

I have it on iTunes here in the US, should be in the UK as they have a bigger fan base there. Be sure you are searching nemophila, and not nemophilia (common mistake to add the extra 'i'). You can also buy the Oiran Extended EP and the Revive alb*snip*

Know your Language - Bug or Feature

I'm a bit surprised. I expected it to crash on the Text command since no graphics context has been created, but it seems that B3D automatically created one.

C++ If this or that?
21st August 2018

If you need to test against such a large list of values, it might be better to use sets as they use a binary search. The maximum number of tests would be log₂n. So 18 values would require at most 5 tests. 100 values would require at most 7 tests.

C++ If this or that?
20th August 2018

I believe that conditionals in C++ are short circuiting. The right side of the || will not evaluate if the left side is true.

Firewire

Firewire use to be great. For video or an external hard drive, it was necessary as USB 1.0 was way too slow. USB 3.0 (and now 3.1) has made firewire obsolete.

Steam vs Blitz

I found this steamstub. Would it help? Last commit was 2 years ago, don't know how much the API has changed in that time, but the source may be easy to modify for the current one.

Angle - Staying in the 360 range - how?
21st June 2018

Problem with Mod is that it doesn't work when the result is negative.
[code]
Angle = 5
Print (Angle - 10) Mod 360

You would want 355, but you will get -5 instead.
I will usually use rockford's method if I know the change in angle will*snip*
