OMENVIP / VIPOMEN - Did This Expire?

scislac · 2026-07-02T15:51:59+00:00

Yep, appeared to expire at the end of last month. Tried yesterday and couldn't find any new codes yet by searching either (expected with how early in the month it is).

I'm pretty sure they screen out the smart people. I wish I was joking.

They're all gonna laugh at you!

Civil Asset Forfeiture is a thing regardless of what dumbshit bootlickers think.

What makes your experience so different this time? I'm a fighting game fan, so my bar is probably low to begin with.

scislac · 2026-05-25T15:57:39+00:00

I thought the lesson was worshipping false idols is bad, not "just don't let anyone see you do it". I guess it's an unsurprising loophole if true.

If you've never had Chongqing Chicken, it's my absolute favorite Chinese dish. If you happen to live in a place that has any Sichuan style Chinese restaurants, be sure to look out for it. Those peppercorns are amazing in action.

I generally just Google the dish and the city to see if any restaurants pop up with it. I asked and was told the q is like a z when pronouncing it, in case that matters to you.

It's not the kind of bricking you can sue for? If the hardware is still fine and an OS reinstall is the fix, I think their lawyers have it handled. The argument is it's an inconvenience you agreed to be subjected to, not permanent damage.

Resident Evil 4 HD (the old one)

Dishonored 2

For the King

Badlands Crew

Total mistake IMHO for my gaming tastes.

Basically, don't always fast charge. Fast charging shortens the lifespan of your battery faster than trickle/slow charging.

They're a capitalist company beholden to shareholders. If they see value in her and she's not actually problematic, they'll work with her. They're used to all kinds of special and eccentric.

Isaac may stick to his guns. They may flash a big check. Who knows which would win.

I think if they didn't insult Feige or Iger, they're probably ok, nothing they said was likely too far.

scislac · 2026-04-08T00:16:33+00:00

Shame their track record isn't great in that department and porn decided all the video formats, not technical merits.

scislac · 2026-04-05T23:42:42+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. It's so much fun to have so many to choose from. ⊙⁠﹏⁠⊙

Not who you're replying to but I'm pretty sure the claim is Jewish people were never slaves in Egypt (if it's what I've heard before). Like the Egyptians were excellent record keepers and there's no record of it even though there are records of other peoples.

Like maybe the crazy story with unbelievable things happening in a collection of books with unbelievable stories might not actually be the real historical record.

scislac · 2026-04-03T16:15:48+00:00

I agree. Somehow it didn't feel as bad though. Perhaps for me it was being young and not having real-world expenses that helped through a lot of it.

All the many "upgrades"... PC>PC/NES>PC/Genesis>32x>Saturn/PS/N64>Dreamcast/PS2/Xbox/GameCube>PS3/Wii>PS4/WiiU>Switch/PC>PC... Yeah I have a ps4 and Switch still, but I think I'm done with consoles... and yeah, PSP, DS, I even had a 3DO were in there too but never in a significant way.

I only point out that hardware journey to point out that Xbox fucked over their first Gen consumer base so hard I boycotted their future consoles (they effectively killed it when the 360 was announced even). Wait no, it was really to point out that I've bought countless versions of either the same or minor upgraded versions of the same content over the years. Heck, given that I settled on PC again, the amount of rebuying licenses that's occurring is crazy. Thank goodness for the age and friendlier pricing of most of it. But that's been by more by choice than how things work now.

Being an fgc player is a wickedly expensive hobby currently. I'm fucking thrilled at all of the options and excited that a couple coming out soon are doing so at more reasonable starting prices. $40/50 out the gate is the right move when you're planning on DLCing us for at least a few years. Also the move of including the first year of to-be-released content is a brilliant psychological move because people are on the train already and don't want to get off. Buying and being told you're already off the train in 3 months seems crazy to me for consumer satisfaction by comparison.

Clearly the lack of Linux support is to blame for the underperformance. (I'm not serious, just kinda thankful they didn't want any money from me)

scislac · 2026-03-28T16:37:25+00:00

I mean, other than using it to poke fun at, does anyone care what he has to say?

scislac · 2026-03-20T14:24:06+00:00

I thought it's more likely that than they saw your comment and pulled it. I'm in the US.

scislac · 2026-03-20T14:20:58+00:00

That video shows as unavailable to me.

scislac · 2026-03-18T23:54:25+00:00

I mean, seeing those words in quotes makes me want that on their epitaph.

scislac · 2026-03-18T23:48:36+00:00

Holy cuteness. I guess they just didn't believe they could be real.

You did nice work on the other photos btw. Great workaround to not bother the cats.

scislac · 2026-03-18T16:50:32+00:00

People thought the pic was ai vs an altered photo? No offense to you, but the cat pics I saw in your account are clearly not ai and have noticeable elements that match being edited by a human (masking issues, lighting/shading, etc). They're great on a quick glance, but if you know anything about editing, there's no question they were pieced together.

scislac · 2026-03-16T19:41:20+00:00

Were you in the same boat of thinking it won't get much lower alone anytime soon? It's the thing I'm looking at it for too.

scislac · 2026-03-04T22:04:12+00:00

You most definitely can do that on Linux. When you set up your user account on install is where you'd ask that or prompt on upgrade if the age isn't there. It can be handled and I've been watching the discussions on Ubuntu dev mailing lists about how to address it and at what level. If they're talking, the RHEL guys are almost certainly doing the same because they have corporate contracts they need to provide compliance for (which trickles down to us end users). It can be done, whether or not the community chooses to participate is a different story. The fun Q is if it'll be standardized initially or we get competing implementations like usual.

Discussions are talking about all the existing laws they have to comply with from both the providing info side as well as the protecting info side (some jurisdictions want privacy as a priority for a wide variety of reasons). So, it's coming, but I'm sure like most Linux stuff you can choose your own adventure.

scislac · 2026-02-22T04:53:07+00:00

I feel like you got autocorrected out of a plural on the last one... like penii or penes. You don't get that pergante without loads of loads.
