Yeah, definitely gonna stop those pirates who soft/hardmod their systems and never connect to the Internet/run updates in order to dump their games or play pirated copies or whatever they wanna do! That’ll stop them!

Edit:

This seems to be more about their online account services and their updated privacy policy than anything else, but I still think my point stands, just not for this article.

As I told my mother and father yesterday, I firmly believe that under the Trump regime that if for any reason this new Pope comes to America that he’ll either be captured and tortured before being killed or just straight up killed for being a traitor.

How did y’all get a picture of my hand after a couple weeks of biting my fingernails?

An EA published game series for the first 2 entries, but Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 1 and 2. Still on entry 1, so I’d like to avoid spoilers, but they definitely feel indie compared to every single triple AAA game that’s come out in the past well over a decade due to the passion you can tell had to be out in for the game to have sold well.

Also learned the 4th game wasn’t even available on PS2 because of its’ 2015 launch, so if I ever get around to finishing the first 3, I gotta get it on PC because there ain’t no way I’m buying a copy for switch.

Edit:

Saw a trailer for the 4th game on Krome Studio’s website and I’m probably gonna skip it because it looked too much like a mobile game for my tastes.

Congratulations! We can now start replacing finance officers with AI!

In theory it makes sense to try and safeguard military bases through that type of measure. In reality, we live in the 2020s and not the 1920s, so people wanting access to the base can just hack one of the emails of an on base personnel and infect their network.

Also, with our current government administration, I wouldn’t trust them not to use that justification to further their Hitler playbook copying scheme.

First of all, if it’s my number sending messages back in time to myself, I could easily convince myself it’s me by sending a list of my passwords back in time.

Second, tell myself that I’m screwed no matter what because there’s no way I could defeat a professional assassin (assuming it’s professional), especially one from the future, and to probably just hang myself or some other form of suicide in order to mock the assassin by not letting them get the kill.

Depends on the game. I’m still a very long ways away from completing it, so please no spoilers, but Sonic Frontiers? They added enough to the open world that it’s fun to run around and do side stuff in. Pokemon Violet? The charm wore out quick enough, making the region feel way too empty compared to most other gens, so no. No clue on the DLC, but I imagine they’re similarly as empty and devoid of NPCs as well. Games like VoxeLibre on Luanti? Wouldn’t want it any other way!

Well, all fully blind people lose their ability to effectively communicate, at the very least. At least until some form of sound based “sign” language is developed.

And if it fails, you know whoever voted for it to not pass is a child predator. Hopefully there’s a list of people who voted “no” on it that gets leaked so people, especially parents, know who to cut contact with.

Ever since the switch to 3D, I knew they would never look back. Biggest reason why fan games are so valuable to me. The only thing I like about the upper half gens (not including 5) are the pokemon (case by case and not including regionals) and the terastal mechanic, in terms of the games and their mechanics. Gens 6-9 I really don’t have almost any care for any of the important characters outside of the designs for characters/character art for characters like Geeta, Diantha, Brasius, Kiawe, and Rika. Those are pretty much the only characters who’s names I could even remember.

That’s mostly due to, in my opinion, when I think they started absolutely dumbing and watering down the story and characters so they could start focusing on nostalgia baiting people to keep them coming back while also completely dumbing down exploration as well. I think two of the only characters from gens 6-9 I really care about were Lysander and Kiawe because I thought Lysander’s genocide plot was interesting enough and Kiawe only because of the episodes of the anime I saw (which is kinda cheating since the anime is where they put every ounce of character into 99.99% of all important NPCs).

Pretty sure a large amount of fans would absolutely love returning to an older form, at least aesthetically, myself included, but good luck convincing Sintendo of anything without getting their corporate legal open secret stasi (lawyers) getting involved.

If we’re talking windows LTSC, there’s no way you’d get my dad to buy into it. It’d probably be easier for both of us, but what happens after LTSC ends? It’s just delaying the inevitable, unless he gets a new laptop running 11, which I doubt he’ll do for as long as he can use his current laptop.

At this point, I’d believe them to be desperate enough to take over to distract from economic troubles back home that they’d willingly shoot themselves in the foot by using this on Taiwan and anyone else they percieve as a threat.

Just got a legit copy of Dungeon Clawler and installed it on my deck and it’s definitely harder than the old version on my laptop. Also, I save scummed the heck out of Dokopon Kingdom on Dolphin over the weekend, until the point the CPU turned evil and finally caught up to me and caused my first death.

I have also been enjoying Sonic Lost Worlds on 3DS (first playthrough), while also having tried a couple levels on PC and I don’t know whether it’s my PC or what, but it’s pretty much the only game I could recommend the console version over the PC version despite absolutely HATING the special stages because of how trash the motion controls and movements are in my opinion.

A refurbished 2019 tablet I got from them that is supported by LineageOS has been giving me trouble on the flashing side of things, so I’ll second this.

Watch videos before passing out. It’s what usually happens to me every night.

I’m probably gonna be the unlucky soul who has to do all this for my dad, if he chooses Linux Mint. I’ve showed him the cinnamon version and I’m probably gonna be the one helping him do a clean install after he backs up everything he needs/wants from his laptop. Alongside helping him learn a few things so he can run his laptop without too many issues.

If you’ve got music on an SD card or on your device, like I do, having an app like Auxio is a must. Only problem I’ve had is that after a single update, a lot of files on my device, regardless of what type of audio file they are, stopped showing how long the audio file is, not how far along in the file you are.

Cannot find any open source alternatives to WabbitEMU (graphing calculator emulator) and their g••gle play store page is gone, so I just use yetCalc despite not needing all the features it has. Also, I proved myself to be an idiot because I found Graph 89 for a graphing calculator on your phone, but ROMs required. Looked up “calculator” on F-Droid and there it was, down the list.

I can only recommend this if you use Proton and their services, but I always keep their mail client app on hand for easy access to my 2 accounts I have with them. From what I can find, it isn’t on F-Droid, but you might be able to get an apk directly from them. IDK, would have to check since I just go through g••gle play store for that.

Other than that, most everything else I can think of are things that have many open source alternatives, meaning you’ll just have to pick what works best for you. Things like launchers, call apps, image gallery, and message apps (which I personally just use the Fossify versions of).

IDK, but it certainly looks aesthetically pleasing, to me at least.

One of my all time favorites right now is Brok The Investigator.

It’s a game by French company COWCAT Games that is describes as a point and click beat’em-up game. Has lots to do because there are multiple endings. It has a free visual novel made to essentially showcase a vn engine that can be used to make BTI fan games or your own creations and has an upcoming DLC (apparently only gonna be $9.99) that focuses more on the combat side of the game.

It’s currently available on PS4/5 (vita planned but scrapped), xbox (don’t know if they mean one and series x/s or just series), switch, steam, itch(dot)io, and even epic if you hate yourself.
