Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 (and their console remasters, DX and Battle).
Mods fix them up and make them better than emulation though.

Silent Hill 2 is a special case. They lost the source code and original asset library for the game, so it’s a remake using assets ripped from the PS2 release copy.
A very, very poorly done and buggy remake that was also underfunded and rushed out the door.
Man, I don’t even run my desktops without a UPS. Maybe I’m jaded from too much tech support, but I feel like not having a UPS is like not using a condom for a random hookup: it’s fine until it dramatically and seriously isn’t.
Almost every desk at my workplace has its own lead-acid battery. That’s well over 1000. We haven’t had any fires or explosions.
More an issue to have another existing company as part of your product’s name. Slam dunk legal case for Sega right there.
his wife is an executive at Disney
Wait. What? Holy shit, every good goddamn thing he’s ever released regarding copyright and intellectual property needs a big bold disclaimer about that in front then.
Fucker’s talking out both sides of his mouth.

In 2017, Disney acquired Makie Labs technology and personnel for an undisclosed figure.
In keeping with the strategic acquisition, Ms Taylor is now the Director, StudioLab at The Walt Disney Studios. In that role she is responsible for ensuring that Disney continues to invest in the intersection between online tech and content distribution.
I’m sorry, in non-executive speak, doesn’t that heavily imply that she at least oversees some work on DRM? Any content distribution method Disney touches with a 40-foot pole is going to have DRM methodology.
Motherfucker.
Like many people, I have aspirations of making games. One thing I’m planning on is some sort of charter or agreement (which I could hopefully automate somehow) that 5 years after the last update that the code would go open source. Some sort of attribution, no commercial use license or something.
Kang also effectively got defeated by Loki in a TV show too, where that instance of him should have been the strongest (as the one who conquered the multiverse and wove it into a single reality/sacred timeline).
To be fair, Kang essentially let himself be killed because he believes/d that he’s an inevitability of reality so in some sense immortal. But he still also lost. He was just taunting in death.
But now that the multiverse is back and being held together by Loki, all there should be left Kang-wise are the ones that weren’t powerful enough to conquer the whole multiverse, so how are they supposed to be as threatening?
And again, all of this content was only in a spinoff show rather than hinted at and weaved through the movies.
I have no idea who greenlit that idea, or where they go from here to make it feel impactful.
Do like Netflix and start putting hardware in every datacenter and at backbone split point you possibly can.
For-profit vs. Non-profit is an entirely different distinction under US law, with specific legal definitions for each. This is entirely separate under US law from publicly traded vs. privately owned, which has separate specific legal definitions.
Valve is a for-profit privately owned company. That is what allows it to not maximize shareholder value, and is the unstated distinction that allows your quote to be true.
For-profit publicly traded companies do have a legal responsibility for such.
As long as you are using official Microsoft install media downloaded from Microsoft (or verify the hash to ensure what you downloaded matches the official Microsoft isos) then you should be fine.
MAS is just a PowerShell script you run after install. It’s open source, and PowerShell scripts aren’t compiled, so you can examine it yourself to see what it’s doing. It tricks Microsoft servers into issuing your hardware an official “free upgrade” license key. The one I’m familiar with as reliable is MASgrave.
That’s not an 100% guarantee that it couldn’t be doing anything shady, but it would be incredibly hard for it to hide anything if it was.
Just like the “tesla hyperloop” or whatever they’re calling it, it’s not about innovation. It’s about keeping his brands in the public eye as a form of marketing. Even if on a logical level we all know it’s horseshit, it still keeps himself and Tesla salient.
He can afford to burn an incomprehensible amount of money on stunts for outcomes most people would consider inconsequential.
I’m not saying it’s 4D chess, it definitely isn’t. He’s not particularly intelligent in that way. That said, I do think there are some very simple reasons for him to do this that go beyond his absolutely insane delusional ego.
He has enough money that he can continue funding whatever he wants regardless of public opinion. He literally exists at a level where any press is good press as it keeps him fresh in peoples’ minds.
How would it detect that the currently playing section was an ad then?
Yep. It’s a 17 year old game on a 20 year old engine, and most of the improvements made to more recent multiplayer source games were never backported.
It only got a 64 bit release last fucking year, after the last big fixtf2 push, when valve hired a single contractor to work on things for a few months.
What is the point of posting a screenshot (that is poorly cropped to boot) of what is clearly a page you could have just linked?
Also, what exactly do you mean “top”? The instances that have defederated from the most other instances? The phrasing here is odd.
Wow, $300
If you dig through the pictures there’s a decent bit more to it than just the initial diorama, but still.
Hope the bootleggers do a good job copying it.
Hasn’t there been internal email and chat logs leaked showing that he knows he’s completely full of shit and just trying to make the most fucking money at any cost?
It was the PS3, and I don’t believe you had to buy anything. It had “other OS” functionality for effectively dual-booting Linux on it, which they removed partway through it’s lifecycle in a firmware update.
That pretty much kickstarted and supercharged the PS3 hacking scene.
I think there’s also a problem of trying to make the online space “for everyone”. These virtual worlds have existed for decades now, even back in the 90s with stuff like Worlds. Gaia Online had player homes and a town square type chat space back in the mid 2000s and definitely wasn’t the only one. Apparently Garrys Mod had a similar space with GM Tower in the late 2000s. Every MMORPG has had this to some extent.
You can argue that the tech wasn’t and still isn’t there yet for non-stylized online spaces, but at the end of the day, people who want these spaces will use the ones that already exist. There’s not some huge barrier to entry that Meta (or any of the modern chat focused ones) are somehow eliminating, and hard focusing on VR creates even more of a barrier to adoption.
I don’t think there’s many people out there going “oh, if only it was more like this” or “if the graphics were better then I’d use it”. That’s not how digital social settings seem to work. In the real world looks can matter for purposes of safety. Online, as long as you’re comfortable at your computer or in your house you’re set.
The only thing that seems to matter is the core draw (as you said), and the communication methods offered (text chat of different forms, voice chat, 2d or 3d graphical ability to “emote”).
I believe there’s an addon for Kodi for this. Been a while since I used it though.
You could also just remove chapters from the video files during ripping, or by using something like ffmpeg.
I’d argue that it does a lot more than make people just look hateful. Plenty of assholes out there using progressive causes as justification and shielding for their poor behavior.
The dev could have avoided this easily by merging the original PR and moving on with their life, but there is negative reason for the dogpiling that occurred. It’s open fucking source. Fork it and make your own inclusive competitor.
The behavior of the community around this is reprehensible, and is the perfect ammunition for opportunists looking to draw people into right wing radicalism. “Look at what they did to someone for using he instead of they! Imagine what will happen if we let these people have any real power?”
