This is a huge bummer. I've really enjoyed the releases from this team. They seem to have nailed a sustainable development pipeline most other developers lack.

This is a fantastic request. I, unfortunately, do not need any type of daddy in my life at this time and it's rather difficult to block them in all without going to the post or community.
I remember an arcade in my hometown having the occasional hacked SF2 cabinet.
Air fireballs, air spin kicks, "guiles handcuffs", all the classics. Was always a joy to see what wild things could be done in those.
My wife and I had and interesting pandemic that required a lot of travel unfortunately.
We gamed almost exclusively on Stadia while doing so and it was near flawless. I know it's meme for Google to kill things but man did that one really sting.
GeForce Now, PS Whatever and Xbox Cloud all aren't there when it comes to how immediate Stadia felt. I'll forever be bummed that they didn't hold out for a few more years until mainstream adoption.
Waiting impatiently for Yahtzee to tear that one apart.
"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.
