“Valve reportedly cooking”
Ever since “cooked” became a thing I have been unable to understand titles like this (or really the slang use of cook)
Based on the article, it looks like Valve is creating a native Linux version of the game.
someone is cooking (in production) vs:
someone cooked (completely did a thing)
someone is cooked (game over, bad decisions were made, here comes the result)
Thank you.
At the risk of sounding like grandpa, I could have sworn in production used to be “is cooking UP” instead of just “is cooking”.
The fluidity of language.
A lot of slang tends to be shortening of phrases, its happened with lots of older slang, though I don't have any examples off the top of my head right now
Let me tell you about "fraught WITH" instead of just "fraught"
Half Life games for Linux will have been WROUGHT, bruh! 6 7 🤷♂️👏👍🫶🙌🤲👐✊👊🤟👋
there is already a native x86 linux version, they are working on ARM version, so that it can on the headset
