Not sure if it's common knowledge, but I found a bug with the freighter refiner room.

I left stuff running in it (silicate to glass) and immediately jumped through freighter warp. After that my refiner had returned to a previous state (it contained a bunch of ferrite dust from previous rust processing).

Looks like the game "forgot" to save the freighter's state before jumping. Maybe saving before the jump would have prevented that.

I didn't lose anything too valuable, but maybe be careful.

Those cars cause a lot of shit apparently. Worst of all they are a liability around emergency vehicles. If this is a way of protesting that, I get it.

It'd look better. Even with the struts out.

Even if a game is protected against piracy on its PC version, the version released on Nintendo Switch can be emulated from day one and played on PC, therefore bypassing the strong protections offered on the PC version,”

Are there that many multi-platform games that have denuvo and a switch version too?

I'd think most games "big enough" for denuvo wouldn't have a switch port anyway.

I don't think anybody seriously used twitter as storage.

Rather the point is that, similarly to every time a blogging platform or another online service with user content shuts down, a bit of internet history disappears with it. Links are broken, traces of opinions or bits of knowledge from another time are not available anymore...

It's not the end of the world, and at that point I wouldn't really care if twitter disappeared completely overnight, but still, some stuff will be lost.

Somehow Windows has always been and is still crap at managing archives. Ultra-slow, has trouble opening or extracting individual files inside the archive, etc.

However, 7-zip has been doing all that perfectly forever now. Not sure why anyone would use WinRAR, paid for or not.

I suspect the guys blocking the road could have prevented it by staying there, but assumed it wasn't really their problem after all and kinda wanted to see this shit happen.

And I wouldn't blame them.

There only needs to be a couple people knowing how to get a rip for it to end up everywhere.

If physical releases start disappearing everywhere, I can see piracy getting a significant boost. It will be the only way to "own" a movie and be sure you can still watch it whenever you want. Disney has been removing content from its service already, even some recent stuff.

I know Gabe Newell's old quote is being parroted a lot but it's relevant : "Piracy is not a pricing issue, it's a service issue". Steam may be a digital market, but it doesn't require a continued paid subscription to access stuff you've paid for, and it doesn't delist games whenever it feels like it.

Funny that of all countries they could have used to launch that, 3 out of 4 are in the European Union.

They couldn't choose a better place if they wanted privacy protection regulations to kick in and start asking embarrassing questions to them.

Oh, it's that guy. The "Semple vs Kapoor" stuff was funny.

Before I recognized who was doing "abode" I was going to say that name was just asking for trouble, but yeah, he knew what he was doing.

It's worse than tide pods somehow.

Tide pods was a challenge, a incredibly stupid and lethal one but one that was not presented as anything else than the stupidest dare ever.

This is apparently presented as a health tip (complete with the usual "detox" pseudoscience bullshit). Fuck these assholes.

Are you sure they're not just decent dubs? Non English-speaking countries have been used to synced dubs forever.

This is why adapting (well) for dubs is way more complicated than just translating dialogues. You have to find an equivalent line that matches visible mouth movements.

It is.

Sarah Z made a video where she gets into some of the darker parts of Replika's concept and evolution. It's a fairly stinky business model.
