wow, just like a certain game that launched twelve years ago, called "Modern Warfare 3"

The wording is odd. I don't see "the coolant is infused with blood" in the article. Could just be in glass cosmetically.

Truth and fairness take a back seat to profits. Got it.

I see you are incapable of reading, so I'll just restate this to make it simple for you:

It is not bigotry to be intolerant of the intolerant, that pathetic argument has been dead since before you were born.

Epic agreed to follow the rules before the ban, not the other way around. In fact, the email cited was February 23rd, over two weeks ago.

Apple 100% made the move in bad faith, and are saving face with "we decided to unban them because they agreed to follow the rules".

I feel like a scheduled sell shouldn't mean insider trading investigation is off the table.

Does it really matter if they decided to sell just before they devalue their company, or they devalued their company right after a sell? They knew about both before hand, and they can have the same intent either way.

I stopped using Revanced for NewPipe when it was giving me trouble. But I have a friend that swears by Revanced.

They are Android only, iirc. Practically the mobile app version of the projects someone listed in another comment.

Yeah, he's the guy with the purple magic wand.

I thought the FMHY lists showed sites that hosted themselves, not just peer posted files. If this was happening regularly with such a site, I'd eject it, too.

Also, the information provided sates plainly that this is far from the first time, but their lack of response or efforts to stop malware is what triggered the removal from the list. FileCR should plainly not be on the trusted list.

Bruh it's people's livelihoods.

Really? Everyone who couldn't afford it had access through him? This is certainly a revelation, and not something made up from the internet.

Forced server connection/always online DRM really screwed them. It's not like they couldn't have seen that coming.

That producer didn't throw Kojima out, everyone loved working with him. The company that wanted to make money by shoveling out small bits of shit instead of making good games didn't want to pay Kojima.

This is actually a second Super Mario 64 Maker. Kaze Emanuar made one a few years back.

The SM64 hacking scene is so broken for hardware that I do all of it on PC recompiles now. I'll have to see if this is any good if I can work it on PC.

You’re just not willing to be rational or reasonable at all because you care more about your petty and stupid political agenda than you do about the truth.

Tell us more about all the mass bear sprayings that kill so many Americans every year. Rational and reasonable my ass. God, you are so fucking stupid AND not self aware.

If you allow technical nonplatformers in there (Hollow Knight? If you are into Metroidvanias, play Super Metroid, it has great music. Also, Axiom Verge.) I could go up and down my various game collections for a while.

But in spirit of the actual question, here's one that I don't think anyone else here will recommend: LOVE. Simple, short, lots of room for mastery. And I like the music.

If you are a fan of the classics, the SMW modding community is huge. We have a wide variety of difficulties, and most modern hacks have all custom music- in engine, playable on console, ofc, so it's all 16-bit.

Jeff's answer was more direct and to the point, but I'd like to point out that as a straight dude, he turned one character in a lesbian relationship into a man. He wasn't turning characters' sex towards the player.

Your "freeze peach" only has to do with your government. You keep pointing out corporations aren't people as if that had anything to do with this topic, but until you start paying taxes and owning land through Facebook, it's a non-sequitur.

They can see the percentage of people who watched that part of the video, as part of the video analytics. This doesn't track the user, though, at least not if you have history turned off, or are using another front end.

They aren't talking about the website. They are talking about the article.

The information in the article is from here:

Having the scumbag of a CEO in the headline may have been a mistake. Riccitiello sold the least shares in the recent transaction history of the company. Also, I don't know where you get your "retaining over 3000000 shares' from. The source says Riccitiello sold all his shares in his possession.

The article mentions two others:

Tomer Bar-Zeev who sold 37.5k shares on 1st September, for around $1.4m. Shlomo Dovrat, meanwhile, sold 68k shares on 30th August for around $2.5m.

Bar-Zeev sold 37500 shares of ~1300000 owned on automated sell. That's a factor of ten and a fair bit away from 2k sold from 3 mil, but that might be normal. It was automated, after all.

Dovrat's transaction is mostly the same, roughly double the shares sold and roughly double the shares owned. However, it was not automated.

I believe the article mentioned them because they sold the most, but they clearly weren't taking the amount retained into account. The third most sold, however, by Robynne Sisco was a sell of 25768, retaining 14700 (sold ~64%).

There are a fair number of other sells, but if the Bar-Zeev and Dovrat sells don't look suspicious, nothing else will stand out.

What does seem a little odd- and I have no idea if this is at all unusual- is that in the last twelve months, more shares have been bought than sold (net shares almost 10,000,000), and in the last 3 months more shares have been sold than bought (net shares almost 3,500,000). In the last 3 months, the number of insider traders is a little over 1/3 of the amount of insider trades over the last 12 months (under the assumption it should be about 1/4). All of the insider buys seem to be the options granted for working for Unity. I assume it isn't too odd for the board of directors to sell and never buy, but they have increased selling a fair bit in the last 3 months, and it seems specifically the last two weeks.

Do you use a proxy server through the settings, or just turn on your VPN and run it while torrenting?

I use Nord, and with the former method I was having issues. I reported it in an issue on the GitHub, and even contacted Nord for support. Now, there does seem to be a lot of down time with the regular method, but with the proxy ("better" method normally) there was times where it was exactly as you described- tons of seeds or leeches, but no connections, uploads, or downloads across the board.

In the execution log, there was an error that'd pop up repeatedly. I can't remember or see at the moment what that error is, something about SOCKS5, the proxy connection. But after popping 5-10 times, that's when everything would hit zeroes. I would have to close and reopen qBittorrent to get it to start again. When I used uTorrent before, I never had these issues, so I was thinking about moving on to some other torrent application. Wanting to stay with Open Source programs kept me for now.

"extremely expensive" is a bit of an overstatement.

Youtube proper, not the rest of Google, is tens of billions in the black, annually.

They reached this level of control over the market by running without video ads for a long time, forcing competitors to close out or not even open into the market without similar money backing. Turning around now and forcing tracking and ads should open them up to antitrust suits.

It's all arbitrage. If you can afford YouTube Premium's price, and don't mind the tracking, go for it. But all this ad blocking and alternative front ends MIGHT come to half a billion annually. uBlock has around 15 million installs, each installed user- assuming all separate and unique and blocking YouTube- would have to deny YouTube $1000 annually for it to be affecting their revenue.

SF3 was my first. People used to swear by SF4, as if it was better. I don't understand that choice.

It took me two tries, but I did complete a whole SF4 world, all the achievements, too (aside from broken Twilight Forest ones). It was good, but I liked it less than any other I played, including Stoneblocks and the new SkyFactory One.

I like the Nuclear Craft more than most other big energy production mods, but SF4 has nothing to spend it all on. So, yeah, I made a max size fission and then fusion reactor, which is fun, but without Draconic Evolution or something to sap it away, it feels like it ended much sooner.

That and the linearity. Though with some packs it's kinda preferable, I just guess it isn't the SkyFactory way.

Not just ISPs, the end user and other peers in the case of torrenting also will not know who or where you are.

Getting to regions blocked content is a bonus that most VPN services will provide.

Are you reading what you reply to? Or just a tryhard troll?

You can't beat it? Doesn't that defeat the purpose?

It's directly Chrono Trigger inspired.

If this wasn't !PatientGamers, this'd be a lay up for Sea of Stars, and every comment would just say "Sea of Stars".

Unity clearly didn't think this part through- probably because they never intended it to do anything but rake in money as the company dies. They never had a real way of precisely tracking downloads, but they want all the info so they can decide how much to charge. So would they charge on a local installer? Almost certainly if they could find out it was used.

Strange that they won't call out the people who didn't pay. Stupid "professionalism" >:(

I saw someone play it on a stream last Friday. He said me might play it again sometime if he can get his brother or someone to do co-op with.

More Kong based games? You might have to wait for us to forget.

Also Gollum and Kong Island.

Honestly reminds me of the South African man at Mandela's funeral doing the sign language interpretation... but didn't know sign language.

If they were really hippies, would they willingly have firearms? That seems very unusual for them.

Ah, I see. I thought you were asking for one, and that people coming by would be under the impression that there wasn't one already.

Ahoyo "confessed" as soon as people contacted them and asked. They were also a very well known member of the community, it's not like 0% was discovering TTH, especially after we all saw bombs5.

Besides, since when do we not allow TASes in the Mario community? It is "faked" at a stretch of the word "faked". There are plenty of faked SMM levels where the creator cheated the cleared for upload flag. TTH is completable.

Am I understanding that he entered it into a competition, too?

I feel like you aren't even half assing reading that paragraph and trying to take it in the most negative light.

Ahoyo hosted a contest where people showed off levels, and TTH was disqualified by themselves.

If he didn’t want to sabotage their task, he should have admitted it right away when he uploaded it.

Admit it to whom? The 10-15 people that made up 0% way before Nintendo ceased allowing uploads, back when Team 0% was another meme team?

You have strong negative opinions for someone who doesn't seem to have any grasp on this community or the timeline in which this took place. No one told Ahoyo that their level was the last until they asked them if it was TASed. Ahoyo isn't streaming nowadays, and isn't spending their days going to streamers who played a game he played to see if one of the millions of levels was theirs.

But there was a level entry form. So he entered it, but then disqualified it? Or someone else entered it on his behalf?

Ahoyo hosted, and lots of creators were invited to submit. When Ahoyo discovered TASing tools for WiiU, TTH was his way of showing it off. With a tendon issue, they couldn't make and play a hard kaizo level anymore. So, yes, Ahoyo entered TTH themselves, then made sure it was disqualified. The point was for people to see the playthrough and accuse it of being a TAS, which would be the reveal, as per Ahoyo's message. The viewing of the levels with the judges was live streamed, so the audience was supposed to see the levels and call it out, too.

Then no one noticed, and the TAS tools seemed to have died out.

Edit: My bad, I heard talk of TASBot trying to get their jank tools to work for WiiU, I didn't realize this but someone has already cleared TTH with TAS. Just those streamers going for last 7 days of RTA clear attempts.

There aren't a lot of Unity Disney games out their, I would struggle to name any. And there definitely aren't any Nintendo ones.
