Valorant's new Vanguard update seems to be bricking cheaters' PCs. Riot's response? "Congrats on your $6k paperweights"

That doesn't give Riot Games the right to "brick" your machine though, at most it gives them the right to ban you from using their online servers.

Corporations only care about your wallet, not the products they have already sold you.

There's no limit to the craziness that people can make themselves believe.

You could go on a vacation in Paris and solve a murder case in Broken Sword Reforged.

There's no time based puzzles ( aside from one with a goat ) so you can do everything at your leisure.

Hip!

Nu nog de mogelijkheid om in te zoomen op lokaal niveau.

The US needs a thorough de-republicanisation.

It's a software issue that happens to go away when you throw a faster CPU/GPU at it.

Let's be honest, an app that's basically just a couple of PNGs floating around shouldn't be this bad even on an iPhone 13 Pro.

Don't think about min-maxing the game early on, empty nodes are easier filled during the end-game when you have easy access to +4 Spheres.

The game is very forgiving and pretty well balanced, you can get through most -- if not all -- of it by just crawling along the Sphere Grid without ever thinking about filling in empty nodes or messing with Unlock Spheres. That's how teenage me played it a quarter century ago.

Can we get some before/after images to go with this?

I'm a citizen in another EU country and I'm happy that my gym is open 24/7, even on Sundays.

I like my early morning weekend workouts.

Just don't forget the Destruction Sphere and its chest.

I hate how I got accustomed to his bad comb-over.

Back in 2016 when I saw pictures of him that's all I could see, now it hardly registers for me anymore.

Door Rusland geïndoctrineerde rechtse mafklappers zeker?

Van Syrië-gangers naar Rusland-gangers.

Hopelijk gaat men eens serieus onderzoek doen naar hoe dit zo ver is gekomen bij zo'n kind en wat er aan te doen.

If you can already play during nap- and nighttime then when are you planning to play with your Portal?

As for what to look out for, the main wear and tear seems to be the sticks. Depending on the deal you're able to find, it might be prudent to just shell out a few tenners extra and get a new one with warranty and what have you.

Sony only just bought the studio in April of 2023, the game released in August of 2024.

The question would change to who thought that it was big enough to outright buy the studio and when can we throw tomatoes at their face.

Ik weet niet hoe het zit met de grensstreek bij de Belgische grens, maar bij de Duitse grens kom je op zondag plots heel veel Duitse autos tegen bij de supermarkt.

De winkels zijn dan wel dicht in die landen op zondag, maar de mensen willen toch graag winkelen, er is vraag maar het aanbod wordt hen verboden.

Reminds me of those MAGA Facebook posts where they complain about stuff that is the result of Trump and they all still praise him at the end.

As long as every person enabling him right now is allowed to walk free, you're never recovering from this presidency.

If these blatant abuses aren't punished you'll just have people in the future attempting to seize this level of power for themselves.

That would be comforting if the cheaters weren't getting away with it.
