  • I have a link to how to take an old serial for the game and generate a new serial based on the algorithm. When I get back to my computer I'll send it along.

  • Usually, not intentionally. More, I was defending myself and he was buzzing around me like a moth on a summer porch light when a stray laser beam hit his ship. :(

  • Old enough to remember the Ambrosia Software game, Escape Velocity? That game had a shareware setup involving a really powerful ship that would message you several times in a game and eventually get so annoying it was almost impossible to play. If you accidentally shot him, he's ruin you. Oh, gone are the days of true "try before you buy."

  • Not sure why you're getting down voted so much. We have no truly leftist or left of center parties in this country. We have fascism-lite and status quo right.

    When Nixon won he won by a super large percentage. Almost all the states were red. Look at the electoral map for Nixon's win, if you can find it, it's shocking. You know why it looked like that? The DNC ran a progressive candidate. And they've not done that again since.

    Not saying Dems aren't better, by far they are, but they aren't progressive and we can't expect them to enact progressive changes.

    Just gotta keep voting for the lesser of the evils until these dinosaurs either retire from, or die in, office. It's sad, it's frustrating, but it is all we can do for now. Keep voting for the party not actively rooting for a dictatorship and we might make it through this.

  • Only cause the boomers make up the largest voting block right now and they know no other policy than, "fuck you, I got mine."

  • Do what users at most businesses do, write it on a sticky note and put it on the underside of your keyboard!

    Stick around for more tech tips with a real life sysadmin!

  • Only if you have to type it in to unlock your vault. Now, bear with me.

    Bitwarden (maybe others) lets you set a PIN to unlock your vault. Normally, you would think this is a less secure setup, easier to crack with the method outlined in this article. Except with Bitwarden you have to set up the pin in every browser extension and every app install.

    Meaning, unless they have access to your device, the PIN to unlock one instance of Bitwarden could be different from the PIN for another. They also don't have to be strictly 4-digit PINs, either. I highly recommend password managers, but for my money, Bitwarden has all my love.

    Disclaimer: I am on no way affiliated with Bitwarden. But I could be if they paid me!

  • I mean Texas is still a primarily Republican state and we know Republicans are pro-life until the birth of the child. It's not surprising at all that there are Texans who still support these cowards.

    They proved that day that cops are just a bunch of LARPers using guns instead of "lightning bolts."

  • I can't imagine anyone going through that could refrain from screaming in, or passing out from, pain. I appreciate the comment. The fact that people thought up such a thing is as equally disturbing. Yikes!

  • That Bloodeagle scene on Vikings was really hard to watch. I still see it in my memories when it's brought up. The fact it was a real thing is what does it. Humans are the worst.

  • Yup, when America sneezes, the world gets a cold.

  • Lee from the Walking Dead game by Telltale, your character in Knights of the Old Republic, Abe from Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey, Octodad, and Ricky the sock puppet from My Friendly Neighborhood.

  • I finished the first, bought the second but have yet to start it. You really should finish the first, if you have time to really enjoy it. It was extremely well done, and even as a cis male, was extremely impactful and emotionally worthwhile!

  • The first time you ever play Portal 2 and get to the part where Wheatley is going to kill you was one of my favorite gags in the franchise.

  • Polls don't mean dick. Please don't repeat 2016.

  • Gotta love victim blaming the voting block for how the system is rigged. "Why aren't you all changing the world, ya lazy fucks?"

    If you really are older than the boomers than at least we'll be rid of you soon enough!

  • More like they (politicians) would:

    • have to actually campaign rather than going to key campaign areas and ignoring those that couldn't help them win,
    • couldn't easily rig the game by gerrymandering the shit out of their districts to disenfranchise millions of voters, and
    • wouldn't be able to ignore the voters as easily once in office.

    There's probably a lot more I'm missing but I'm sleepy!

  • Oh yeah, it's a thing. I am on my phone or I'd find the link to it on the YouTube. One thing that has stuck with me from that movie is the comparison of old apocalyptical/grim future movies of the 80s and 90s and the fundamental way they differ from similar movies of the last 20 years or so.

    I don't want to ruin it cause Cody and the team do an excellent job getting to that point, but it's a nice payoff!

  • Interesting enough, the old Super Mario movie was the premise of the Some More News movie. It's a little out there and references past episodes of SMN, but when they start landing the references and comparisons, it blows your mind!

  • It's clear you're trolling or your reading comprehension is subpar. Either way, I don't have time for either.
