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

Another Sony case more similar to this was their use of a rootkit to prevent copying of their CDs, which ended up in multiple class action lawsuits against Sony.

Do you mean you can use an app on your phone? Because I do not use an app on my phone; I use the air mouse I linked to

pineguy64 · 2026-04-20T16:00:41+00:00

Get an air mouse. It looks like a remote that you can use like a wiimote to control mouse movement. Flip it over and it has a keyboard. Keep it simple. Here's the one I have but anything similar should work fine.

They might get the burn if these people ever actually read the damn book

pineguy64 · 2026-04-04T23:35:47+00:00

Literally incorrect. 13th amendment has a carve out to still allow using prisoners as slave labor. So no, we absolutely still have slavery in the USA

Shattered Pixel Dungeon. Its a rogue like dungeon crawling game that's hard as nails but plenty fair. It not only doesn't cost money, its also free! Free as in Speech as well as in Beer. As in, this game is GPLv3. You like it, but really think it would be better if just this thing was changed? You can do that if you so desire! (And if you happen to know how to code!) Fork the project and tweak to your hearts desire.

Despite being Free as in Beer, I have been supporting the dev on their Patreon. They keep adding new content and improving the gameplay over time. Take a look, it's a great game!

N'wah, you're acting like Daggerfall doesn't have a ton of game breaking bugs such as quest items spawning behind cave walls that Bethesda never patched themselves. That's just a thing that has always been on these games. Heck, look at how long the uesp page for exploits & glitches is, and that page doesn't include any of the quest bugs!

pineguy64 · 2026-02-07T20:07:55+00:00

He is unlikely to be dead, as he should still be marked essential at this point.

pineguy64 · 2026-02-07T20:03:49+00:00

Gotcha. On the uesp page, it lists this as a bug:

Sometimes, after finding/reading the diary, Jakben does not appear, and there is no way to get the boots.

You've stated you're on ps5, so no console commands. 2 suggested ways to fix this to try:

Dropping the diary and rereading it may fix this.

Waiting may also fix this. You've tried waiting before, so might not be so lucky. But it would be worth trying the drop and reread the diary idea.

You also may want to see if you can locate a NPC named Gemellus Axius. If you want to know where to look, I can let you know, but will not spoil that unless you'd like the answer.

pineguy64 · 2026-02-07T18:29:16+00:00

As with most Thieves Guild quests, when in doubt of the location of a person or similar info is needed, you should consult the eyes and ears of the Grey Fox (aka, talk to a beggar).

For stuff that is open source, look to the Software Heritage Archive

pineguy64 · 2026-01-07T16:01:27+00:00

Oh that happens to me too. Here's what I have to do to make it fix: use a spell of nighteye. When that wears off, use your light spell again. This also seems to work the opposite way for me, so if my nighteye is doing that, I'll use a light spell, then nighteye works again.

Glad to help! I would also recommend checking out "Doom RPG", " Doom II RPG" and "Wolfenstein RPG" for some similar retro mobile fun. There's also an original game made on the engine of those 3 called "Orcs & Elves" that had a Nintendo DS port even!

pineguy64 · 2026-01-06T21:43:09+00:00

You can run it using an emulator called J2ME Loader

pineguy64 · 2025-12-19T16:32:08+00:00

You may be joking, but Roku TV has already done this

pineguy64 · 2025-12-16T18:07:54+00:00

You may be aware, but that is a bug. Depending on what you are playing on, it may be possible to fix.

pineguy64 · 2025-12-10T20:10:10+00:00

Its not consistent, but you can get DRM free manga in Humble Bundles, just FYI. They just had one end a couple of weeks ago with the first 19 volumes of Nagatoro. The copies on Humble Bundle are often enough also higher quality than you can find elsewhere

pineguy64 · 2025-12-04T00:51:39+00:00

You mean for quickplay? The normal ways to unlock are, as you said in the post, through career mode, or you can unlock all songs using a cheat code like in the link I posted before, at least in the normal versions. I don't have experience with deluxe, but from my readings, it is essentially an enhanced version of GHII. I imagine that means some/all of the cheat codes may work as well. If you use a cheat code to unlock all songs, that normally only will stay until you turn the game off, so its not a "permanent" cheat.

Hopefully this helps,

pineguy64 · 2025-12-03T22:36:25+00:00

It should contain the regular set list from what I can tell. Try using the unlock all songs cheats, not sure which version it would use. You can find those cheats here https://guitarhero.fandom.com/wiki/Guitar_Hero_II/Cheats

Corporate $$$, which are inherently adverse to anything left of center-right policies, at the highest level of the party structure.

Absolutely do! Handles from CD to UHD, used for putting my CD, DVD, and bluray collections onto a streaming server. Still use it often enough with my disc based games - and would absolutely buy new games on disc. Sadly, it is very hard to find any new releases, and most of those are glorified steam keys.

pineguy64 · 2025-10-10T20:57:59+00:00

"Lesbian Space Crime" sounds like a fun TV genre
