Designer and concept artist Syd Mead died today, December 30, 2019. He was responsible for the neofuturustic design of movies like Blade Runner and Tron, as well as several video games. He will be missed.

Introversion (Prison Architect) is at the very top of my list.

@rorie,

I think we can close this "ticket" as the issue has been resolved with the release of Squeezebox 7.7.6. I didn't try the podcast feeds immediately before installing the update, but I presume it fixed the problem.

From the changelog:

#18151 - some server don't accept port definition in header when it's a default port.
#18152, #143 - HTTPS download fails: Connect times out lack of certain headers.

I can finally go to sleep while listening to old Bombcasts again. :)

@glots: Yeah, I think that image was posted by Playdead on Twitter back in January 2017. I just haven't seen it before now.

Two images have been posted by Playdead on various platforms, teasing a new project post Inside. No more information beyond the images as far as I can tell. They look just as dystopian as Playdead's other work. I'm looking forward to hearing more about their new project. Limbo was truly a masterpiece and Inside had its moments, at least in my opinion.

Anyone else, or is it just me who cares?

@management: Yes, Spotify resumes playing where you left off.

Vice City. I don't want to go back and play it again, though.

I haven't given this much thought, but maybe Adams, Dent, Prefect, or Beeblebrox 42. Because I'm boring. And I really like The Hitchhiker's Guide…

It's a Pixel Thing just posted a Bob Wakelin tribute video.

He was responsible for the cover art of a lot of games of the Amstrad-, Commodore-, and Spectrum-era. Most of my favourite games, actually. He will be missed.

@rethla: Haven't had that problem, but my Steam-account has sometimes increased in size when I wake up the day after. :)
