"So Did We" will be played at my funeral. This album has been a rock throughout some of the best and worse times in my life.

I'm in this picture and I appreciate it.

I remember learning the whole torrenting process after years of irc, newsgroups and p2p clients. It took a bit of time but, man, was I passionate about dumping everything I could on to SuprNova way back.

Anymore, I only package and share on private trackers, its just too much of a risk to seed out to public ones. And being completely honest, the majority of my dl's are coming from newsgroups again. It's just a simpler process and I don't feel the leech anxiety.

That said, I also keep an eye out for requests and try to fill bounties whenever I can.

PlayStation has lost a lawsuit against Datel, a company behind popular video game cheats. The legal showdown between Sony and the Action Replay manufacturer dragged on for 10+ years, with the European Court of Justice siding with Datel in a ruling published yesterday.

Third-party PlayStation cheats and add-ons don’t necessarily break EU law The lawsuit stemmed from Datel selling cheats for 2009’s PSP game MotorStorm Arctic Edge (also released on the PS2). The cheat in question enabled players to use unlimited boosts/turbo by bypassing restrictions placed by the game.

Here’s the problem: Sony argued that its copyright was being infringed and that the cheat “latches on like a parasite” to the software, as reported by Euro News. In reality, however, Datel’s cheat didn’t actually modify software, it fiddled with code stored within PSP’s memory, as explained by TorrentFreak back in 2023.

A court had originally ruled in Sony’s favor but Datel appealed, following which the ruling was overturned because the cheat in question ran “parallel commands on the variables stored in the main memory.” Understandably unhappy with the decision, Sony went all the way to the European Court of Justice, which ultimately decided in Datel’s favor (read the decision on InfoCuria).

To be clear, Sony can legally ban players for using cheats both offline and online. This ruling is strictly related to cheat manufacturers, and the issue is that what Datel was doing was a form of modding without meddling with the software itself. That doesn’t violate EU copyright laws.

Multiplayer-only games are a different story, however, because cheats are designed to ruin the experience for those playing legitimately. In this particular case, an advocate likened players using offline boosts to someone picking up a book and skipping pages.

“The author of a detective novel cannot prevent the reader from skipping to the end of the novel to find out who the killer is, even if that would spoil the pleasure of reading and ruin the author’s efforts to maintain suspense,” Advocate General Maciej Szpunar opined.

Neither Sony nor Datel have commented on the ruling.

Its crazy someone your age works for the FBI!

its not a schooner, it's a sailboat you idiot!

Fuck yeah. I'm in man. That is damn near my favorite color. You got the touch. Always nice to meet good ass people.

This is in no way meant to be pedantic just something I learned a few years back. In this context it's "lede". I often assumed it was lead as in the frontrunner or leader of the story.

I also have fond memories of those AOL days. When we knew it was real people we were interacting with. What a world of difference now. Glad you made it here! Cheers.

Agreed. The past year has been a great change from other social media personally. I was Reddit only for the prior 7 or so years and Lemmy feels like a time hop back to pre-dystopic Internet days. I approach it more like my favorite forums from the 90's-00's.

Less content and users are ok when it leads to more civil engagement's.

little bitch, you better remember this next time you want wet food.

Interesting that when asked to bring a self founded viewpoint you return to the core conceit despite presenting counter arguments to the contrary in all prior responses.

Once again, what would prove to YOU that someone had a history or resume to be valid in a statement about prior experience in regards to new ventures?

Take the focus off this exact scenario and Bethesda Dev. Throughout the thread, there has been several other scenarios presented but none have hit home with you. What I'm asking is, what previous qualifications for a new role in an exact industry would be something you'd accept as proof of validity?

This isn't meant to be confrontational, I'm legitimately curious. I see these sentiments a lot on the Internet and it leads to a flurry of downvotes without anyone asking the person receiving them what would be their desired outcome / goal.

So to frame it in that regards, would someone being a lead engine developer give more credence to a solo project? Being a project manager? Having a varied CV that showed growth across a company providing a base understanding of several different disciplines without a targeted focus on one? Or something as simple as "they worked on the questlines that I personally liked"?

Genuinely interested in what would make YOU happy or impressed by an announcement like this.

Flip the conversation. What WOULD show a level of experience that equated to quality to you?

Add Blackbraid to that list as well. Amazing one man native black metal from the Adirondack region.

Every band I've ever been in is shitty and unpopular. Cheers!

No joke, this was a song title in my last band.

Tattoo artist friend of mine calls these "ribliographies". I rather enjoy that term.
