if you have a garage, design a method to basically ensure your garage door is closed without you needing to go back to check.

of course if you trust yourself with never making that mistake.

last thing you want to feel is if you remembered to close the door or not and youre already far off

Mehrunes Dagon will never know what hit him

i reckon steam is lacking on this because steams basically the only client that natively has a steam client on all platforms officially. it doesnt see it as a problem because of that.

Nintendo hasn’t really C&D any of the previous decomps. they can for people who upload the whole precompiled executable, but none of them that requires actually ripping the original assets yourself to create the required game.

Animal Crossing is next, as 6 days ago, the gamecube version of the game was decompiled to completion. It’s a extremely big prime candidate for modding IMO.

confidential cpus are typically engineering samples, usually given to motherboard companies to work on bioses for the cpu generation and meant to be returned to the company after done. engeering sample cpus can be missing features, lower clocks and such that the retail varient may have.

as for geneeation of cpu, its easier to find out via what motherboard socket it is

on thecontext of finding second hand, i wouldnt say its common, but can happen. some chinese companies sell dirt cheap ES cpus for basic computing.

the ilm says lga 115x, so its either 1156(1st gen), 1155(2nd or 3rd gen), 1150(4th and 5th gen) or 1151(6th to 8th gen)

i mean the current Washington commanders ownership change is at least, okay. compared to an owner who was litterally blackmailing cheerleaders on foreign soil and throwing other team coaches under the bus to distract people from his own case.

rooting breaks saftey net checks. some services claw back a handful of apps that checks for it but not all.

most usually involve banking, one funny one notorious for breakinf under root is mcdonalds app. nintendo games usually break under it, but can often easily be bypassed.

shoulda shelled out for multi intel optane drive raid 0 or ramdisk

i think I have my voicemail as the disconnected phone sound to stave off robocallers. anybody who wanted to call me texted me immediately after to confirm.

one side takes regular baths.

i mean you could have shortened your description by saying it is an alt france mario rpg/mario and luigi/paper mario.

the mario rpg series is basically a jrpg with timed dodge and parry mechanics that existed decades before souls, with several entries.

i think the funniest part is ontop of bad acquisitions, Microsoft was only able to buy blizzard activision partially because sony had a history of making non PlayStation versions of games inferior to the PlayStation version.

had Sony actually played fair ball, none of this would have probably happened.

the performance in the short term doesnt change much. its long term that does, and theyd rather you upgrade your gpu rather than use your current one indefinitely.

iirc people believe that cold environment warm insulated blanket promotes better sleeping.

did you read the article. the phenomena is basically tied to asrock and aggressive dynamic voltage values, while other oems voltage values are near static.

while amd isnt a saint by any means, reading just the headline is extremely misleading.

it isnt os specific, this includes any data you don’t want to lose, including data on smartphones for example.

people tend to undervalue the cost of hard storage vs the intrinsic value of losing precious data is.

less that there was a time limit, but it was a project that was worked on for a long time, and had on and off discussions throughout the development cycle of the game

Someone “hacking” files or systems doesn’t always mean what you think it does. Naughty Dog “hacked” PS1 to create crash bandicoot. Just means they gained knowledge in how the hardware works. Not that their game only works on “hacked” hardware.

they point out theirselves in August 2021, that they were using a solutionthat breaks Valves TOS before later replacing it later in 2022. Its evidence that there was on and off times where what theyre doing was skirting what valve says was okay.

So until I hear anything from valve. I’m inclined to believe the mod team. Based on valves previous interactions with their community.

you believe the mod team despite there are other games who have successfully worked with valve and actually have fully recreated the entire game they made and actively sell on their storefront for actual money?

again im not saying valve are in the clear, but the devs clearly says it so themselves they have throughout the process, broke the TOS and you’re still inclined to believe that theyre not hiding anything else? I don’t see it as a black and white issue, rather a situation that I can’t trust anyone because only one side of the story has been said, by a side that doesn’t necessarily have the cleanest history.

it was less illegal and more the dev took money to quit it.

why didn’t they shut it down in January then. there’s WAY more to the story than this. They gave the dev 8 years to develop this. and Valve already has a historical track record of letting other devs work on their IP (Nvidia making RTX remasters of valve games, Valve LITERALLY letting the Black Mesa devs basically sell half life 1 remastered on THEIR STOREFRONT.). You cannot absolutely trust the devs words either entirely. the fact that there are other users who believe the story of the hacky work around even when the announcements in other pages can only exist if theres a shred of truth in it, or you think valve is legitmately having a disinformation campaign, because these users have nothing to gain from for a free mod being canceled.

I’m not remotely saying valve is a good person in this situation, but you’re giving the devs way more leniency than they currently deserve. Reminder back in 2022, the devs were given essentially access to the source engine code, and already had the decision back then knowing that their only two options for their project (at least in the way they were designing the mod) was to either do a hacky method, or cancel the game(their own words). the game wasnt canceled till 2024, so you can put 2 and 2 together to know what they ended up deciding in 2022

i dont think amd or nvidia wont do it as explicitly. its already known that at the moment, some locations in the EU are aleady seeing msrp 5070 sitting on shelves because its not a highly desireable product, while they get bought up in the US faster at a higher price because the stock of everything else is non-existent
