  • Yeah don’t worry about it too much. Ensure you have the correct name when installing your library but that’s about all you can do personally.

    Any other solution will have some security flaws. NPM has a few more than it should but essentially the entire web is built around it. Sorry man, you don’t have any other choices.

    How to use it properly? Any npm tutorial will show you quickly. Always check you’ve got the right thing, always check the library is large enough that if something goes wrong it’ll be noticed, and know there’s no way to be completely safe without never using libraries.

    If you’re learning the web though there’s no way to avoid npm.






  • This is an old standard, long ago when CSS wasn’t a big thing, and even when it was when it was much less featureful, tables where the only way to properly position things. This is no-longer the case and is now bad practice and has been for more than a decade. This is due to defailt styling added to list elements along with a few other issues with speed and consistancy

    Don’t know them, but this seems an older Dev who learned something one way and is entirely unable to adapt with changing technology. This is a danger, and has been the reason for quite a few major, very expensive, issues at companies I’ve been contracted at. Sure, using tables and lists is not a big issue, but what else will he do and defend aggressively? I’ve seen the same with a person arguing SQL injections are fixed because he took out all comment characters before concatenating a string for an SQL query.






  • You’ll need to run the game once, at which point there should be a folder with a bunch of numbers in that folder. It seems like the folder is here from what you’ve posted:

    $HOME/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Elden Ring/drive_c/users/reinoud/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing/76561197960267366

    I could be wrong however, sorry for that I only use heroic for GOG games

    But yeah, just paste the ER0000.sl2 file in that folder and all should be good, as long as you’re using the same pirated version of EldenRing. If you start the game and it says save file currupted or something along those lines, though I doubt it will, you’ll need the eldenring save manager mod to fix it. Again however, I doubt this is needed




  • You’ll want to get the save from steams prefix and copy it to heroics prefix, or your default prefix. Sorry, not near a pc so this’ll be a bit off

    The steam save file should be located somewhere around here:
    $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1245620/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing

    It should be called something like “er0001.sl2”

    Find the same location in your heroic prefix, which should be saved here

    $HOME/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/EldenRing/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing/

    Locations may be a bit different, sorry for any possible confusion.

    If you removed the game from steam already though the save file is gone. This has bitten me in the past personally

    Edit: Save file ends in sl2, not sl as I had stated before the edit



  • Never a problem, always a good thing to ask for sources. I’ll admit, I’ve been having a fairly difficult time re-finding all the origional sources however I did get the majority of my information from a guy called Kira on youtube. He goes through the actual documents but, sadly, doesn’t directly link to the docs. I’ll post those links at the end

    Firstly, their admittion to keeping nexons server after being told to shut it down

    Taken from their post here:
    https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkAndDarker/comments/122rz27/dmca_discord_update/

    Due to a mandatory remote work policy implemented by Nexon in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the accused member received multiple written authorizations from executive members at Nexon from 2020 to 2021, allowing him to utilize an external personal server to improve the performance of his team (e.g., version control, build machine, and dedicated server). After utilizing the personal servers for almost a year, the accused member asked the leadership if it was ok to continue using his personal servers. The leaders told him to refrain from using the personal servers. The accused member agreed to takedown the servers as long as he could maintain the performance of his team by having his programming team come to the office bypassing the companywide remote work policy.

    The accused member initiated the takedown of the personal servers but, due to the uncertainty of sporadic Covid waves, taking down the server in a quick and exhaustive manner was not a high priority. As a result, some automated scripts related to the build machine were left running on his personal server at this time. When the buildings next to his office were shut down due to confirmed covid cases he took a risk and fully set up his personal servers to aid in development. Since all company machines were monitored using a companywide endpoint solution, the existence and usage of his personal servers, ones that were subject of approvals and re-approvals, must be reasonably known to Nexon over this multi-month period of development. Not a single warning was received from that security team so it was easy to construe it as acknowledgement that his actions were acceptable, otherwise it would mean that Nexon would be failing at taking reasonable measures to maintain the confidentiality of their assets.

    Shortly after Nexon’s leadership became aware of the accused member’s plans to leave the company, instead of trying to resolve it a professional manner, they abruptly sent the Internal Audit team and accused him of stealing files, despite having observed his personal server being used without notice for several month. Due to harassment and the lack of respect from the company and after consulting with his lawyers, he concluded that his private information on his private servers was not subject to any record so he deleted his information to ensure his privacy.

    Note their arguments for it being OK stem from nexon not taking action sooner, and stating they should have recognized the servers were being used during their tenure. As a developer, I should state that mirroring the entire server is uneeded and very weird to see. Usually, proxying in, using git, and their on site build servers through that proxy is the standard. Also, no, nobodies looking at access logs until there’s an issue. I cannot find nexons responce directly, but it is shown in the following videos

    Here’s some Piped links to the coverage from Kira:

  • That’s not entirely accurate. Not entirely inaccurate either.

    Firstly to clarify, as for the dismissal, it’s due to forum inconvienience. They had to file in Washington though due to the terms of steam that state any conflict must first be brought up in a Washington court.

    Secondly, the suit was for much more than than. The assets weren’t stolen and this was never an accusation. The accusation is that d.a.d used research and development created by Nexon to bypass large amount of work in order to create the game. This included the decision on what assets to use, and how to modify them to fit the game. The evidence on this is strong. This on top of abilities, classes used, weapons and fighting mechanics, magic items, animation style, etc. were one to one matches to their former employers.

    We must acknowledge the founders worked for nexon previous to starting dark and darker and they worked on a game with the exact premise. This is not disputed.

    Thirdly, the guy admitted to stealing company information, agreed to destroy it, and failed to do so while lying about it. They had also, in company emails, messaged other employees about quitting to start a game with the same premise while still working at nexon.

    There’s alot more there and honestly I don’t see a world in which they’re in the right. Still though, fuck nexon, trash company, trash employers. What the d.a.d devs did was wrong, but gladly they did it to a company that deserves it.




  • Create a new account to do so, interact in a way to spur aggression from other users (lying in comments you can’t read, being aggressive to supporters of your content, etc.), using the info you post in an attempt to dox you or otherwise stalk you, screenshot everything you post and send it to a discord that’s made to harass people like you, an quite a few more.

    You’de be surprised how quietly never seeing a person again stops this interaction, but just no longer engaging won’t as the person will be constantly reminded of your existance. Simply disengaging while they still see your posts will quite often make then get more violent or direct in order to get a responce fron you. I’ve seen this before from kiwifarm members.

    A real block feature may not stop all harrassment as they can still create a new account, but it’s less likely to prompt it’s continuation as the other user simply sees a quiet end to your existence.
