  • I’m actually in the market fow new wipers and I’ve been using RainX for well over a dacade. Maybe it’s time to try a new brand. My last set of Rain X blades started to leave streaks after like 6 months (could have been the really bad winter - lots of ice and salt). Not horrible streaks, they aren’t a safety concern, but little imperfections really bother me. I’m very particular about my windshield cleanliness.












  • The code for the game has been decompiled. From my understanding that means it’s now readable and can be ported over to other places with some work. What that means is that a true “PC Version” can be made, which will have the ability to support things like widescreen/high resolution, high framerates, native keyboard/controller support as well as whatever mods people feel like developing (new maps, new modes, etc) - in the case of Mario 64, when this happened people got to work on a Multiplayer version, which works really well. So it opens up a lot of possibilities.





  • They have been in hot water before when they were caught scraping data without consent and sending it back to Epic. Folders/files and apparently steam user info?

    The client still supposedly phones home with some encrypted data and nobody is completely sure what it is, they say it’s anti-cheat stuff, but then there’s this:

    “40% of Epic Games is owned by Tencent they’re a Chinese Tech Company which the Chinese Government has a certain say in what they do. LITERALLY without Tencent Epic would go under they’re the only reason why Epic Games has gotten so many exclusives and given away so many free games. There is LITERALLY a board member in Tencent that was appointed by the Chinese Government.”

    So can we trust them? Probably not.
