Nightdive’s track record is stellar in fairness.

I’ve still got my PS1 copy of PO’ed and it hasn’t aged well at all. I think the world was still clamouring for new and inventive Doom-clones at the time that people were willing to forgive clunky gameplay and unbalanced weapons, but this remaster will do it a whole load of favours.

Disruptor is another mediocre game that springs to mind, but was well received because it was the best-of-the-rest in what we now know to be first person shooters. That would be a cool remaster too - perhaps even Lifeforce Tenka, or even Sentient if they were feeling brave.

Shock horror: a fucking idiot who build his persona on a foundation of being loud, obnoxious, and a bit of a twat turns out to be loud, obnoxious, and a bit of a twat.

Oh, and a nonce too.

Today: variable manip to cause the engine to read a jump to the ending

Tomorrow: TASBot codes Call of Duty remaster using jumps and damage boosts and launches it by climbing stairs [MILLY BITCHELL APPROVED] [SPEEDRUN ASMR]

In fairness, I very much doubt a chargeback would even get so far as a human.

From what I’ve seen with other companies across different continents, a chargeback triggers an automatic account ban with whichever retailer and that’s that.

I encountered Quishing the other day - the inadvertent scanning of QR codes that take a browser to a malformed URL or site with malware embedded.

Back in my day, it was just called “being a bit dense”, especially as most cameras/QR readers will offer you a prompt to go to a website first.

That last line made me change to Ray Parker Jr style funk.

How is someone getting control of their data by paying a ransom?

The opposing actor still has your data, so it doesn’t really matter how much you pay, you’ll never be able to mitigate that security issue, surely?

I always found it wild how they released Ring and Rasen on the same day - and even though one film was overwhelmingly more popular, the storyline was further fragmented with Spiral, Ring 2, and Ring Virus going in different directions… even before the west decided to go freestyle with Ring 2 and Rings.

I haven’t even gotten to watch the Sadako v Kayako films yet!

All I needed was a reason

I can only provide anecdotal experience, but my old girl found her dream house. Old mining cottage type terraced house, immaculate renovation inside, great hillside views, nice enough place overall…

…she instructed her surveyor to have a look and he told her to run like fuck, the shared wall was pretty much the only thing keeping the house upright - his words were clearly a reduction of some larger issues, but that saved a repair and insurance nightmare.

They’re pricey, yes - but they can save you an exponentially larger amount of money.

On y va to the bookshop for a new thesaurus.

Just to be a proper poser…

…obviously that was a lie, I could never afford persistent storage. Floppy swaps were king.

His voice isn’t much different!

I watch his videos because it’s nice to have an insider view of what was the formative years of Microsoft’s assimilation creation of a common office workspace. The anecdotes are deliciously 90’s, the openness is refreshing, and the implementation detail is quite interesting.

My other half likes the videos because he has that quite monotone voice, with quite an even canter and the odd lingering pause that can send her to sleep.

Win win.

Bobby Prince. Now that would be a treat.

That’s really cool, thank you for the explanation and example!

Awesome, thank you for the insight!

Alright, I’m going to be a real pain in the arse here and throw some edge cases at that idea - not because I’m trying to be a cockwaffle (I can manage that all by myself), but trying to straighten out my understanding of these things…

In short, what criteria does the data have to meet to make it immutable, and can that be changed in future?

Birth certificates are brilliant for establishing time dates and places, but what if someone changes their name or gender partway through life? Is there a function to amend the original blockchain entry, or is a new one created that supersedes an old entry in the ledger?

I’m a lad from Bradford, in the UK.

my condolences, friend

SCE was the first edition I played, I loved playing as Bison, and I got to be made to look really silly when I went round a friend’s place to play a SNES edition and Bison wasn’t a selectable character.

Great port though.

A shitpost duel awaits.

The winner gets seven statues on all continents, each facing a finely-calibrated direction - the intersection of their gazes meet at a point where the secret to humanity is buried.

The loser gets a year using the upside-downternet, six months on ISDN, or a week on MySpace as the only communication method with the outside world.
