I bet it’s a ton of fun to drive. A friend had a recumbent trike with a beefy ebike motor on it, was a total blast to drift it around trails.


It didn’t work on chrome for me, but does on Firefox.


Ah xcom, maybe the only game from my childhood that was remade properly.


Not sure if you can use this on steam deck via epic, but this is a great casual steam deck game I’d highly recommend


Ultimate chicken horse is a fantastic game I keep going back to. I’m not sure about the racing style of this one, but I’ll definitely be trying it.


Tribes was amazing, especially Shifter.

If anyone used to play on the homelan servers, I was [*HF] Shadow back then.




Is that the wrong link? This seems totally unrelated to Pokemon in boxes, and is more about multi console character storage systems. This patent just sounds like someone described steam cloud saves in way too many big words.


Gotta wait until palworld has made a bucket of money for Nintendo to point at, claim damages, then try to take.




You’ve been doing a great job with the community and we’ll be sorry to see you go, but please prioritize yourself first!



I used the pen once on my fold when I first got it, and never again.

Take my pen, give me that mm


That’s disappointing, I really enjoyed the first one.


I can’t tell what this does from the site linked, but I said the apps name out loud and my cat came running.


This is such a great steam deck game to play casually while watching TV or something, horribly addictive too.


That’s not really correct…

  1. Yes some phones only support frequencies, but modern phones pretty much support everything. You need to validate the carrier and phone you choose are compatible, but odds are they will be. It’s not a region lock, it’s just a limit on the radio frequencies they support.

  2. This is carrier locking, not region locking. A phone bought on a discount from carrier X will be locked so you can’t stop paying them and just move to carrier Y.

  3. This is done at the play store / apple store level for specifics apps that are banned or not available in a location. The code for this is not on your device, and you can sideload to get around it.

Tldr: make sure the phone supports the frequency of the carrier that you plan to use, and that its not been carrier locked. If it is, you can probably buy an unlock code online. Then you’re golden.

5 seconds on Google answered your question though op. New phones from Samsung are region locked until you make a 5 minute phone call in the source country. That way people can’t buy phones in cheap countries and mail them out. This seems fairly new, I’d never heard of it until now and I’ve imported phones in the past.


The editor kinda reminds me of the old build editor that was on the duke3d CD.




Svn? It’s not 2002 anymore.

Onedrive or dropbox would work well. Otherwise if you want source control, git would be the way to go.


SwiftKey wants to capitalize every first letter for some reason, so it gave me 0 wpm due to errors




After reading more into this, the dev sounds like he’s being a twat.

Nginx had some security bugs in alpha code. F5 issued cve’s for it, the dev didn’t want them to because it wasn’t code in a stable release. That’s the entire story from what I can tell.

I don’t feel like f5 was in the wrong here, and running off to raise a stink seems like an excessive response here.


Wow, never thought I’d see homelan mentioned here.

I used to be [*HF] Shadow.


Picked it up on a whim last night, have been playing it since.


No, it’s a standard called TOTP

https://rublon.com/blog/what-is-totp/ seems like a good explanation

You scan it once, then your computer has the key to generate codes forever.


Well that’s a thing trying to capitalize on my youth.


I’d call it the first 1 - 2 hours of SimCity then you move onto the next one. Or maybe the fist bit of starcraft before you get into combat.


Maybe, or maybe in another 30 years people will just be commenting how nice it was to be alive during the birth of the metaverse and giant corporations.

Probably not though.


Man I miss the early days of lan parties. Struggling to figure out how to plug my friends computer into mine via BNC cables (didn’t know we needed terminators) when we got our first ever network cards. Then later the big lan games of blood, duke 3d, quake, even starcraft.

Good times.


The click bait title is talking about Against the Storm.

I came to hate on the article for the click bait, but it’s actually a great game.



Steam deck kinda takes the crown for that now.


Oh sorry you’re totally right. I was thinking of one of the deployable that Shifter added.


The generator sounds like the Shifter mod, it wasn’t part of the stock game.

Skiing was a bug in tribes 1 that they embraced.


As someone who used to have an old windows mobile phone with a sliding out keyboard - yes please. I want to see more stuff like this.
