There was one helluva gamer in Utah today.


Ngl, I feel the same way. The news pissed me off so much.
I was looking forward to getting a folding phone, but now I’m not sure I want to buy anything Android anymore.


Btw, the game developer is on YouTube and has made videos showing off how he achieved some effects used in-game:

He’s also showing off the development of his new Horror game, GANGSTALK


On the latest F-droid blog post they listed this as a known issue:

Fennec F-Droid was updated to 142.0.0 and got a lot of publicity, and not for how great it works, unfortunately. It appears the slow spell hit it too as there’s an issue using extensions that use webRequest listeners, like uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Ghostery, TamperMonkey and more, that delay the connections to websites on start. For now we recommend to try a couple of things. While disabling these extensions fixes it, we know that the Internet is unusable without ad blocking.

  • First trick is to disable the extension, wait, hear me out, just toggle it OFF then ON back again. (Small note here: while there are many ads related extensions out there, maybe it’s time to look at their usage a bit more and decide to keep only one. We’ve seen users installing them all thinking this will cover all angles, while the truth is they are messing with each others rules and you might end up more exposed than less.)
  • Second, the issue is seen when swiping the app away (where the app status is decided by Android, Schrödinger’s app paradox), but some users reported success if instead of swiping it you actually close it. The Close button appears in the main menu if you enable “Delete browsing data on quit” in Settings. eg. “Cached images and Files” is the least annoying option to select, careful not to select any of the others. So, when you want to close the app, just use the button and on the next start it should load pages normally.
  • Third, our own @linsui pointed that, we can just close the screen. […] When you open the app, if you see it stand there doing nothing, lock the device and then unlock it. We don’t understand why this works for some, but surely it has to do with libraries and drivers and magic numbers.

As a reminder, there’s a reason why our fork of Firefox is named Fennec, it’s not about some code name anymore, but about the fact that our version is a work on top of Mozilla’s code. We need to extract all the bad (read non-FOSS, read privacy invading) code and give you a clean app that serves you and not some faceless corporation. Are we breaking some eggs to do this omelette? We sure are. And we do our best to serve it fast and tasty. Yet sometimes egg shells might end up in the final product.–


Twitch doesn’t allow you to display other chats on screen

I’ve always wondered, couldn’t you work around this by having a feed with only the twitch chat for Twitch, and a feed with all the chats for every other platform?
I think you can comfortably encode 2 streams on basically any modern-ish card no?


I looooove Talos Principle but my hardware is getting long in the tooth and 2 runs so blurry (and not well enough to compensate) that I gave up on buying the 1 Remaster, even though I really wanted to play the new bonus chapter…


Just seems like my way of living is incompatible with modern society. It’s all just too hard

I know right?
Used a locked phone! Submit your ID to the web! Create a Instagram account! SUBMIT! SUBMIT! SUBMIT!


1 plus for Aegis.
Backup all your codes to an encrypted file you can do whatever you want with.
No cloud, no “automagic”, no obfuscation.
True peace of mind.


Well hey, having clear separation between work and personal could be a plus. Hopefully enough to offset the annoyance of carrying 2 devices…


I’m so tired of this shit man, I no longer have any real plan.
I’m seriously considering carrying the smallest x86/ARM Tablet capable of running Linux I can alongside some cheap phone for 4G hotspot and calls/strictly necessary.

Guess PC land is the last place we still have freedom (for now!!! 🙄🙄🙄)


If you don’t care about Do Not Disturb, you could probably jank more functionality by making a different function trigger whenever DND comes on with Automate or Tasker…


People just be having fun man.
Not to mention 3D modeling is pretty hard, it’s no wonder indie devs who are often self-taught artists/modelers/coders/everything-ers are doing it.



Large tech companies and investors are buying into the vibe coding hype, prioritizing quantity over quality and laying off people who can actually code for real in the process. I originally intended to work in the software engineering industry, but seeing the complete disregard for high quality code, overpowering greed and hype, and the layoffs that follow from it, I am shifting into academic research instead.
[…]
I want to do something actually meaningful and innovative with my time and life, not command Claude like I’m speaking to a child who forgets something every ten minutes and makes an oopsies every twenty before breaking down every hour.

Well shit, can’t say I blame him.


Ultimate 2 also does Gyro over the 2.4 dongle (At least in the Wireless version).
Update the firmware of the controller and the dongle and hold B when turning on.


It’s just a computer. Microsoft can’t kill it off (thankfully)


Giving 30% for Steamworks Multiplayer servers and matchmaking, player inventory and trading, modding support w/ workshop, forums, cloud saves: 🙅

Giving 30% because players ‘spend irresponsibly’: ✅✅✅



Hope you get better soon!


Much as I hate ads, it looks better like this.
The previous update had it looking like a bootleg and the rectangle tiles instead of squares made the disc art stretch:


It is exactly like the standard Meta Quest 3S, it’s just a different colorway and it comes with a Xbox controller and some Gamepass bundled.

You can still stream games from your PC, play Standalone titles, stream Gamepass, whatever.


The atmosphere of Buckshot was phenomenal, and the trailer for this looks great too. Looking forward to it.


As an outsider to Bethesda modding, given how difficult it looks, I’m surprised to hear this isn’t already a thing.



Every time a new episode is imported, a random tech higher up gets a cramp.
Oh if only…



I’m playing through Black Mesa lately!
Picked it up on the recent discount and now I’m going through it, gonna do all of HL2 next, time to check out the 20th anniversary update.

Also Lumines Remastered just went on sale so you bet I’m gonna be playing the hell out of that



Man, imagine if the PS6 launches and it’s just PS4 & 5 ports and “”“upgrades”“” all over again


Huh, it’s just the next Rog Ally with a Xbox sticker.


Peddling shitcoins in 2025. Lmao.
Cmon now, announce your gAmInG chatbot to complete the stupidity bingo.


Yeah I used to think Minecraft was the last sane modding scene, now with Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, Quilt and whatever the fuck else I think those days are gone…


Speaking out of my ass, I think the majority will take it without pushback.
I’m sure there’s a swath of people with a console just play the yearly COD/FIFA, eagerly waiting for GTA 6 to drop. They’ll buy it without blinking.


You are not. I’m still sad Croteam dropped the Serious Sam engine for Unreal on Talos 2


Bit of an oddball, I got the itch to finish Trauma Team on the Wii since I didn’t the first time, so I got a USB sensor bar and I’m playing through it on Dolphin!

I really enjoy the Trauma Center Franchise, bums me out they never made another one, would have loved to see what it would have looked like on the 3ds or a modern entry on the Wii U/Switch.


It looks like we might have a reason why Samsung apparently paused the global release of the One UI 7 update. Tipster Ice Universe suggested that some Korean Galaxy S24 series owners had trouble unlocking their phones.

Ouch!


Bravo to the one pal who’s gonna buy it and post a gameplay on YouTube



Cortana is amazing, the new Siri is smarter than ever, Google Gem—

Yadda yadda yadda, they’re all been promising these amazing personal assistants for years and they all sucked, now they’re promising they’ll finally stop sucking and surprise! Still haven’t.

We know your next Assistant is gonna be dumb as rocks too, come up with a more interesting lie at this point…
