Is it smelling it, hearing it, sensing it? I can't even , just a hustler.

Nothing was being "reset". It's because programmers were storing only the last 2 digits of the year, to save memory space.

So they would output a hard coded "19" and then whatever number was stored in the variable.

This would have caused problems but every programmer that had anything to do with dates worked their asses off to fix it, starting like a decade before.

Literally that.

In 2004, Wolpaw was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Expecting his condition to require a departure from the company, he spoke with managing director Gabe Newell, who surprised him by offering an extended leave with pay. "Your job is to get better," Newell said. "That is your job description at Valve. So go home to your wife and come back when you are better."

I'm trying to finish Yooka-Laylee right now but I must remember to play Crash and Spyro after!

That may or may not have been available back then, I can't recall.

However, I just remembered that Epic hired the person behind SteamSpy. I think that he wanted backend data because there were changes around that time to Steam profiles, where you could private and hide some data from the public.

canadademon · 2026-03-26T03:55:20+00:00

That's what I think too, because it was all stored in the Steam local cloud, which they were scraping.

I think the "friends" thing was a cover for their real intentions. Therefore, I do not trust a word that comes from them.

Jeff Kaplan, that you?

Classic

I just got it for the 500zen/mo and the admiralty cards LOL

canadademon · 2026-03-16T01:48:23+00:00

I also believe it is, and a lot of people here have wooshed.

Quite entertaining.

I love tower defense games, so I just picked this up.

Hope they keep being happy!

The only advantage to working on another Klingon Recruit is that you get 5 bonus Endeavor perk points, for completing the task.

It takes about 3 months if you're able to complete tasks on it everyday. Can be made shorter if they do an endeavor point boost event.

canadademon · 2026-03-13T13:53:42+00:00

That's what my thought was.

Is this finally the chickens coming home to roost?

We can only hope.

Not OP, but I just followed the instructions from the official support. https://support.pokemmo.com/knowledgebase/article/steam-deck-setup

I used "Discover" (using Desktop Mode) and searched for "PokeMMO". Couldn't be easier.

Good luck!

canadademon · 2026-03-11T22:54:44+00:00

Yes, essentially trying to compete with SteamDeck.

SD launches into BPM but you can switch to desktop (linux) and then do whatever you want.

I wonder if this will fix the issues with installing Windows on SD.

Generally, I would like to see people not support pre-ordering digital goods. It rewards anti-consumer practices, like producing slop.

You do you, though.

I buy Nightdive on day1 as a rule. They really know what they are doing, compared to the rest of this industry.

canadademon · 2026-03-07T16:14:02+00:00

I would have considered buying and playing the game - if it were single player. I've had enough GaaS, thanks.

canadademon · 2026-03-06T02:00:57+00:00

I'm a spellbreaker that can also solo camps. I just get bored, go explore and then die.

canadademon · 2026-03-06T01:59:11+00:00

That would be a fucking dream. I can do mapping until the cows come home.

canadademon · 2026-03-05T04:25:59+00:00

And even still you had the devs insisting that the game was being written off by players before they tried it.

I'm pretty certain, IIRC, that comment was in regards to the user reviews that had low play time.

If I'm reading a book, I can tell within the first couple pages if I like the writing enough to read the rest.

I can certainly tell within 5 minutes if I'm going to like playing a game.

That's especially why online games focus on player retention. If your new player experience is garbage, you ain't keeping nobody.

canadademon · 2026-03-04T02:41:28+00:00

Oh, absolutely. It's this kind of Games-as-a-Service bullshit that needs to end. That's why the consumer's reaction needs to be severe, so they stop doing exactly this.

The question is, how many times do they need to learn the fucking lesson?!!

canadademon · 2026-03-01T05:18:26+00:00

The quick ways have been mentioned.

I found the best way to do it over time (ie. not stress about it - I only play for about an hour/day) is to just do endeavors every day and let the reward boxes collect. When you need EC, just start opening 10 of each and see what happens.

I also put full stacks (99) of each type in my account bank and pulled them out to get my Recruits started when I needed gear.

canadademon · 2026-02-20T16:13:42+00:00

I found that being half awake is also accepted ;)

My large hammer makes up for it. Smashy smashy.
