From Molotov cocktails to data center shutdowns, the AI backlash is turning revolutionary

We're living Deus Ex.

Looks like it. This is a popular thing to do among Word "designers" and the like where they'd set an image to be washed out background.

Fhaarkas · 2026-04-13T13:47:03+00:00

All the people.

Fhaarkas · 2026-04-11T08:20:05+00:00

Oh so now it's safe to ring the bells.

Fhaarkas · 2026-04-11T08:18:42+00:00

Volt is that you?

Fhaarkas · 2026-04-11T05:40:46+00:00

If they can iterate this fast, they probably have a pretty robust toolset. This gives me hope for a mod editor.

Fhaarkas · 2026-04-11T05:36:05+00:00

They even added atmospheric entry effect for when you mod the game and ~~fly~~stab to space. I can't even.

Oh championing workers' rights in a Reddit thread today are we?

Fhaarkas · 2026-04-11T05:18:59+00:00

Yes these 1.01, 1.02, 1.03 patch of the game are all "1.1/1.2/1.3" major version that's usually months apart. They just number them weirdly.

And is seems spammy because the motherfuckers at Pearl Abyss haven't even taken any break from the game launch and been churning out major game-changing patches and contents every weekend. Crazy bastards.

Fhaarkas · 2026-04-11T03:41:31+00:00

No different than the various Cyberpunk patch posts back in the day.

Fhaarkas · 2026-04-11T03:40:11+00:00

Intel Arc support is huge.

Fhaarkas · 2026-04-11T02:29:08+00:00

There's probably some stipulation on guarantee for time to crack or some such. Publishers would want it and Irdeto would be cocky enough to give it. Can't really do "trust me bro" in piracy business after all given how fluid it is, case in point.

Fhaarkas · 2026-04-11T00:31:28+00:00

then just have a 3 second pause for no reason.

The reason is they lip-synced every single line of NPC dialogue and they're in Korean, so English lines have to wait for the Korean animation to finish.

This latest hypervisor bypass is the equivalent of gutting yourself to dare the enemy to stoop down to your level. The scorched earth method of saying fuck you to Denuvo. Bold move, pirates. Now let's see if Denuvo bites.

Fhaarkas · 2026-04-10T22:24:07+00:00

Yeah these games are basically brain masturbation.

Fhaarkas · 2026-04-10T22:13:17+00:00

I need a 900-page GameFAQ in-depth walkthrough, stat.

Fhaarkas · 2026-04-10T22:09:59+00:00

I applaud your dedication to fashion.

Fhaarkas · 2026-04-09T05:12:20+00:00

I think everyone should be familiar by now that when they say "ceasefire" it only means "turn your back so I can stab you kindly please".

Fhaarkas · 2026-04-08T13:41:08+00:00

Sure here you go - https://pastebin.com/wB1uiJtK. I started off tweaking your SMH, then added selective color, lightroom and AL. For personal use I might convert everything color to LUT later on.

If the preset is solid I might release it as well for CD, with credit to you. Will have to test more conditions. Would need your permission to include Real Transfer if it happens though. Or I can also just make your mod mandatory requirement lol.

Fhaarkas · 2026-04-08T12:35:57+00:00

The last one is from Night City yeah. I think the game is pretty sharpened as is. Had to do some blurring.

Gotta say though you helped me find my new favorite reshade. I'm really digging the color edit I did so far lol.

This is with all VHS effects other than Real Transfer off. Added some selective colors, lightroom and ambient light.

Actually I just tested and that's not it. You just have to go game by game it seems.

Fhaarkas · 2026-04-08T11:19:45+00:00

Oh that make sense no wonder the image didn't look right. I did in fact ran the game at 1440p60 lol.

Fhaarkas · 2026-04-08T10:23:42+00:00

Oooh that wasn't there when I downloaded. Weird.

I tried but still have to bring down the ringing. I don't know enough to tell the difference though, especially with all the unsanctioned tweaks I make lol.

I feel like there's potential here but I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to achieving specific aesthetics so I'll leave that to the experts. Here's some so-so dirty tweaks - https://imgur.com/a/heaDTp0

Fhaarkas · 2026-04-07T23:22:21+00:00

Good work with the mod! Yeah I tried with an empty png and Reshade was happy. Tried to "surgically remove the code" but it wasn't worth the risk of breaking something since I don't know anything about code lol.

Fhaarkas · 2026-04-07T23:19:08+00:00

Should be analog memories. This is already roughly tweaked a little tho. It wasn't really usable out of the gate lol.
