hmm I wonder what Datel (creators of the Action Replay cheat carts/discs) are up to now that console security makes them impossible? >looks at their site oh, that's a watch that can perform denial of service and spoofing attacks on wifi networks...
thank you google but I think Lisa probably needs an american dentist for her braces
shoutouts to when sega went to make a reprint of Sonic Heroes on PC in 2010 and used a cracked EXE by scene group RELOADED, noticed the signature in a hex editor, and instead of zeroing it to disguise the origin they replaced it with dots since I guess they were just looking at the ASCII view
huh... well that's still sus as hell. just speculation, but looks like they may have used a stolen certificate since Microsoft blocked theirs after the compromise.
uhh... why do the Daemon Tools bus drivers claim to be from an Estonian finance company? Given their recent breach this seems incredibly sketchy...
the arcade bunny doesn't call the player "skip" on the US version? c'mon that was part of what made him so hot, US people missed out
Reminds me of this laptop toy I had as a kid, had a "CD drive" that you would put discs into and they'd spin up and load different programs. Turns out it was just detecting the reflectivity of three points on the outer edge of the disc and loading programs based on that.
Kao - Resurgence of the Volcano releases tomorrow! This is a fan mod of Kao 3 that aims to finish what ended up being a very short and incomplete game. I've seen a few snippets here and there and I am very excited to see the end result! www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnnv...
wordle was also copied from a british TV show, Lingo. I know it wasn't originally an NYT game but it's funny two of the most played games there are both copies
(CW: NSFW, though no visible genitals) ok but how about this sketch straight from ubisoft that was used in an presentation at a gamedev conference (archive.org/details/Raym...)
ah yes, Twitch, Roblox is surely important enough to be in the top menu alongside "Following" and "Browse".
After feeding them by hand we left some sticks of bamboo all around the enclosure for them to eat, and then they they roamed around the trees occasionally coming back down to see us.
The enclosure was really nice, lots of space and natural trees for them to roam around in. The pandas didn't have to come and see us, they could have stayed in the trees if they wanted and food would be left for them, but they were very eager to see us.
I got to hand-feed two red pandas yesterday! My parents booked this as a birthday present and it was an amazing experience; they are so cute up close and were so gentle when they took the food.
this from the guy who claimed to have "done more videogame preservation than almost anyone, often to a higher standard than any institution I am aware of" is hilarious.
I finally have a fursona! Thanks a lot to @takaalive.bsky.social for making this amazing ref sheet, he was amazing to work with and I couldn't have hoped for a result as good as this!
Tonic Trouble on Switch Online might not be able to save properly but they kept the most important thing: ridiculously high resolution textures for product placement
