But what is "boner misinformation"? 😂

Haha whoa that looks so sick! It's huge!!!

Apparently it was up there for around a decade before breaking up, with one of the largest fragments finally "deorbiting" in 2016.

I do! I see okay, so it's like the private key is stored within the ROM somewhere, and that activation code is like a public key that just decrypts based on the locally stored private key, making anti-piracy software work whether online or offline. Quite clever, really! Thanks 😊

Does DRM work without an internet connection? I always assumed that sort of thing needed to be able to communicate with a server somewhere to check... Something? 😅 Or is it just that the DRM used in this case actually just breaks in an unintentional way when running on new Windows systems and locks the game into not being able to boot?

I'm a total dullard when it comes to these things but like, if you disconnect your machine from the internet so no outside checks can be made... Wouldn't it just run as usual?

Punishment is part of justice. Seeing that somebody who does wrong intentionally and with malice suffers, proportionally, is part of the lesson that the justice system teaches.

In my opinion, punishment is important for the victim (to see that they are protected, and to satiate any craving for extra judicial revenge), society at large (to demonstrate that there is a governing body that will not let people get away with causing harm), and for the criminal themselves (to show that harmful acts will result in reprisal).

It crucially can't be the whole lesson, though. There has to be guidance, forgiveness (on a legal level), and a corrective path available to people who hurt others. Punishment on its own often just perpetuates systems that produce criminality, and isn't enough to effectively reform people who have done wrong.

Yeah, it terrified me too! It was also just one of those things that kind of made it seem like games were magic, in a way? Like, it was so unexpected and it expanded what a game could do in my child mind to such an extent that suddenly they could do almost anything! I miss that.

Ugh, sucks to hear it's unlisted due to some legal technicalities. That's a shame.

Thank you for saving us the click 🙏

Black and White 2 is SUCH a great game! I didn't realise you couldn't get it on any storefront!!

Is it B&W2 or B&W1 where the game whispers your name if you play it at night?

"spewing boner misinformation" is absolutely hilarious, what does that mean?

What does your last sentence mean? What data are you seeing?

I know I wouldn't take back a partner who broke the trust in our relationship, and I'd hope other people would have enough self respect not to either!

They're people from the country between France and Poland

Surviving the predator? You mean being part of a minecraft youtuber's discord before your 18th birthday?

Jesus they're really tripping over each other

Canada claims another ten-minute-soul

Hahahaha Stroll

I've gotta be honest.. slightly cold toast that doesn't immediately absorb the butter is sort of right up my alley

Are you still into the F1 at all? 👀

Red but a bit greener

And just like that, the RBR2NDSEAT curse has claimed another career. Goodbye Yuki, we hardly knew ye
