Hi all, just joined the forums and wanted to say hi :)

It would be rude to not explain about myself so I'll give it a try,

My name is Rakien

I'm 14 years old and turning 15 in 13 days

I'm a PC operator, using both Windows and Linux and I will hopefully be an iMac operator as well soon.

I like to do programming in my spare time, though not very advanced or knowledgeable, I read e-books and tutorials on how to

program in C++, Java, HTML and PHP

I like gaming, a lot, but then who doesn't? My favorite games are Half Life 1, 2, the episodes and any mods made for them, I'm also a huge fan of Resident Evil and looking forward to Resident Evil 5 to be coming out.

I'm an owner of a Xbox 360, I don't have live at the moment but I'm working to get a 12 month membership to play online and to get more games.

I found this site whilst looking around for somewhere which posts software update notices, gaming news and other related news and stumbled upon Neowin, I joined the forums so that I could talk to other members about such related stuff ;)

I'm gonna stop now, but I hope what I wrote is good enough for anyone.

    • Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
