It is unclear how EncryptHub managed to add the malicious files to the game project but one explanation could be an insider helping out. The developer of the game has not published any official statements on their game’s Steam page or on social media.

That truck is used at Computex to sell merchandise from.

The ancient pyramids may be much more ancient than we think. Maybe before humans? Maybe the dinosaurs built them?

I don’t understand why this isn’t done more often. Publishers announce games early, then have to go great lengths to keep the hype up all the time, then the announced date comes close, but game isn’t anywhere near finished, so it has to be delayed, fans are disappointed, developers are stressed. Next date comes close, game still isn’t finished, delay it again, fans are disappointed, developers burnt out. Next date arrives, game still isn’t finished, but cannot delay again, as fans would really be disappointed now, so buggy mess of a game is released, fans still are disappointed, developers have to work hard to restore the reputation of the game and themselves by repairing the biggest issues, and fans are still disappointed as now things work this way that worked that way before. And anyway it’s still not what was promised in the first place.

Instead: Work secretly until the game is in a good state. Release, get good reviews. People get exactly what they expected, as their expectations came from the finished game and not some blown-up early-development marketing visions. Fans are happy, more good reviews.

Und “Kundenservice” meint nicht nur Beratung, Support, Abrechnung, etc., sondern auch Gewährleistung. Und ggf. haftet der Händler auch über die Gewährleistung hinaus für schwere Mängel.

It actually was vaporware. Announced in 2012 and originally scheduled for release in 2014, it was officially cancelled in 2016, only to be re-announced in 2018, with a release probably “several years away”.

SteamOS would be a particular poor choice as a desktop operating system compared to basically any other Linux distribution. It uses an immutable file system and reverts all system changes upon every update. That’s nice if you don’t want to fuck up your handeheld gaming device with some dumb changes, but it’s generally not what you will want on a device you use for all kinds of things. Of course, with some effort you can work around this, but then, why don’t use a system that doesn’t just use such a paradigm in the first place and won’t roll back your workaround to make it usable with the next update?

If you have billions of targets to scan, there’s generally no need to handle each and every edge case. Just ignoring what you can’t understand easily and jumping on to the next target is an absolutely viable strategy. You will never be able to process everything anyway.

Of course, it changes a bit if some of these targets actually make your bot crash. If it happens to often, you will want to harden your bot against it. Then again, if it just happens every now and then, it’s still much easier to just restart and continue with the next target.

It’s not the full game, it’s the “First Store” edition/chapter/whatever. The full game has a separate Steam page. So it’s likely yet another demo version.

There aren’t a lot of reviews yet, but so far they are mixed.

Probably like probably most people still do find out nowadays.

However, she solved the more important issue that there was a post-it glued on top of the screen.

Wir sind ja alle gegen Atome, Gene und Chemie, aber das deutsche Lebensmittelrecht legt eindeutig fest, was Aroma ist, nämlich ein “Erzeugnis, das als solches nicht zum Verzehr bestimmt ist und Lebensmitteln zugesetzt wird, um ihnen einen besonderen Geruch und/oder Geschmack zu verleihen oder diese zu verändern”. Kann man durchaus weglassen, ohne den Geschmack an sich wegzulassen.

Well, one thing is that it is a ranking of 50 games without a word of explanation how this ranking was created. Who says #37 is better than #38 is better than #39 is better than #40? And then also, if this is a ranking, why make it that big in the first place? Different people have different tastes, but a ranking says #1 is the best game, #2 the second-best, #3 the third-best - who should care for the 50th-best one if there were 49 better games this year alone?

EDIT: This was meant to be a reply to the “What’s odd about this list?” comment.

I haven’t played GTA Online in a while, but a thing we always used to do in our group was ending the session by visting someone’s apartment or biker club or yacht or whatever, going to the bar there, and getting drunk until someone had to respawn at the hospital. Visits to public nightclubs or the casino and getting drunk there (sometimes even dancing or gambling before doing so!) was more a mid-session thing for us.

Well, in the world of esoteric candidates, there would be some easy ones, like Brainfuck or Shakespeare, but maybe Whitespace is enough of them in the list.

And while the USA are roughly double the area of the European Union, the whole continent of Europe is larger than the US.

Also, the explanation of what the Naked Brutality scenario is and that they did multiple runs in it is nearly as long as the actual report of one of these runs (which ended on day 3), followed by the longer description of a multi-month backup people run, which basically has nothing to do with Naked Brutality.

Au contraire. The terms of service of the Lumberyard engine used to disallow using it in critical infrastrucure (e.g. hospitals, power plants, military facilities) unless there was a zombie apocalypse.

Das Bild ist von 2018, WM, Achtelfinale, Brasilien gegen Mexiko. Thiago Silva wurde nicht am Trikot gezogen, sondern ging im Zweikampf zu Boden und wurde danach (kurz) ärztlich behandelt. Wenn schon nur irgendein Fußballer-liegt-am-Boden-Bild, hätte man wenigstens eines von der aktuell laufenden EM nehmen können.

Does it? My understanding was that it would basically just map Windows calls to Linux calls. As it doesn’t yet cover everything under all conditions, there may be situations where the Proton devs have to add something in order to properly support a certain game, but that’s not because that game is doing something wrong, but just because those were the particular gaps in Proton’s functionality that happened to affect this game.
