This move is specifically described in Project 2025. The next step is that he will gut the DOJ, appoint his people, and have them pressure, remove, and prosecute any local DA who doesn't get in line.

The goal is to force very part of the legal apparatus to get in line with the fascist agenda.

There are other types of batteries that don't involve volatiles, like water batteries or metal-air batteries.

That's a good strategy to ensure you die: a mooses torso is already higher than the hood of a lot of SUVs, so you're taking a moose to the face.

CoffeeStain has fixed some crazy Satisfactory saves that went all the way back to update 2 from 2019.

Soon, GOG and all other storefronts will state that you're purchasing a temporary digital license for any game who's publisher uses an EULA that states you don't own the game. This is due to the recently signed California law that forces storefronts to be transparent about the publishers EULA.

This is in response to the new California law that forces stores to clearly disclose that the customer is buying a temporary license.

The TL:DW is Mr. Beast is a master of using gambling psychology to capture kids' attention, to then sell them horribly unhealthy foods. His contests and giveaways are largely fake and/or are rigged to favor other creators, friends and family. He constantly fails to deliver promised prizes, and he runs live streams that are essentially child gambling masquerading as sweepstakes. He violates sweepstakes laws all the time but seems to get away with it by taking down old streams, and DMCAs any clips that get uploaded by others. He has also promoted a scheme to get his fans to act as child labor and stock/organize his products at Walmart.

Right now, Sony has yet to update the Steam listing to remove the PSN account requirement or the region lock out. Don't update your reviews to positive yet. Talk is cheap and all Sony has actually done it put out a statement to appease fans and stop the damage.

An hour after this announcement was made, a tiny update was pushed via GamGuard to steam players and now there's a .DLL file that's being flagged by antivirus as a malware. My AV detects and cleans the file, making the game completely broken. There a Steam discussion about this issue and, surprise surprise, the file in question is used by GameGuard.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with Sony's recent announcement of their patent for biometric harassment detection.

The game racked up over 10k negative reviews in 90 minutes yesterday. People are pissed. There's also the issue of PSN only being available in a about a third of all countries.

I just uninstalled the game over this and I have 350+ hours.

They're not using electrolysis and water to make hydrogen, they're using power and steam to crack petroleum products into hydrogen.

Run from a bear and wolves, and they got exactly what they wanted and won't chase.

That is the worst advice I've ever seen: a black bear can run 30mph/48kmh and will run you down if you run. Wolfs have a strong predation drive and will also run you down but in a pack. Both of these animals look for weakened prey and weakened prey always run.
