I’d argue the most effective anticheat is dedicated servers. Admin’ed a lot of CS, TFC, and Q3 servers growing up and it was easy enough to kick/ban any one hacking or being an unrepentant dick. Downside for the corps is, you can’t gate all that dlc as easy when users have control.

Was the soldered CMOS different than the removable one? I fought the battery (removable) in mine for a year or two and eventually just shelved it. Would love to get it running as a low energy emulation station if it’s salvageable

What the fuck.

Copy that. Found a drop on archive.org. Planning to grab it when I’m back home. Cheers friend!

Aww geez. Thanks for the summary duder. Been at a conference in the bay so kinda detached from it all. Gonna be wild if Fandom is the shitdicks that kill GB.

Fuck. Long time, first time. I’m a few episodes behind. Any additional info available? Links?

The over saturated, bright environments are a key factor to the vibe of Oblivion. Them somehow regressing to Gears of War brown is a terrible sign. Even if its just in those few regions.

There was a demo reel of the spy as well that was incredible. I played untold hours of tfc. It is likely what made me a intellimouse fan (thumb buttons for both grenade types?! It was the future).

I truly miss conc grenades. There has never been a more versatile weapon in a game.

Jesus Christ. Was over there from the states last year and Ireland is a lovely country (if yer not a cunt to the locals). Have some friends from there coming this way next month. Hope this doesn’t fuck it up.

So exhausted by this oppressive regimes ability to crush every bit of hope and happiness we might try to have.

That’s just like, your opinion man.

This typo is amazing. Please do not edit.

Been playing quite a bit of the saboteur lately. Its a great game.

Posted above, I’ll drop it here as well, requestarr performs the same service but via discord.

Layering on top of that (I’m sorry to recommend a discord app) but, Requestarr is awesome as well. It allows you to attach a bot to a channel and request up through Overseer, Sonarr or Radarr. Works for local and remote users.

Live service means there are constant “content” updates being released by the developer/publisher.

This can be character skins, weapon skins or other cosmetics, new maps or modes, new classes, skills or really anything. A lot of times these are wrapped up in to “battle passes” time limited, purchaseable collections of stuff designed to keep players engaging with the game daily for carrots being dangled in front of them. Most of these are also time limited so if you don’t jump through all of the Hoops before the timer expires you no longer have access to the content that you were playing for and paying for.

To relate to old school gaming think of them like mini-expansion packs. The part that most people take issue with is the strategy behind the majority of them.

Almost all live service games are designed to keep players running on the hedonistic treadmill looking for the dopamine hit of that next unlock. In the more egregious free-to-play games you see that crafted through dark patterns in a way that incentivizes users to buy shortcut items through the marketplace to either automatically collect the ranks needed for the unlock or provide double accrual rate for whatever the experience marker is.

The reason they are coined lives service is due the nature of them receiving this constant update drip in a manner that would be live as opposed to static in traditional, Old School multiplayer games where you may see a large expansion every once in awhile but certainly not a weekly or monthly drip feed of new shit for the players to grind away at trying to unlock.

Aye, that was my suspicion. Really awesome to be stripped of options for privacy so they can suck down that data.

Yt-dlp still works thankfully.

Grayjay started shitting the bed on me recently (Android via Samsung and Graphene, and on Desktop Linux/Windows) unless I disable vpn.

Even with Agent andDNS whitelisting for the apps.

A bit of a bummer after recently donating.

This is the correct answer.

The guides are pretty solid. The one that sometimes holds people up is ensuring you have a post-roll playout for the channel. I forgot that when going making new channels after a few months of initial config and it caused issues with channels rendering properly downstream.
