You know people were saying this was going to happen eventually back in 2018 when that happened, right?

We have seen how much MicroSlop has stopped caring about their products over the last few years, so this shouldn’t be that surprising.

I tried this for a bit last year, and I never got it to work. I’m sure it was user error, but I’m super glad I got a new kit before shit blew up.

Might have to track down the bad kit I had and give this another try for giggles.

If you don’t add /s, some people will refuse to see a joke

“Study” meaning put it in committee so it can die in the web of bureaucracy

Yeah, so back in the day, you could replace the accessibility executable that launches when you hit shift 5 times to enable sticky keys, and is launched as a privileged process. Rename it and copy cmd to the old exe name, hit shift 5 times and you now have an admin console.

Still works today, you just have to do it offline if you’re not an admin.

Was that the sticky keys trick? That was a fun one to use to elevate

Yeah… Even back then I was amazed at how little effort it took to bypass. But that was in the early 00s, and basic troubleshooting like opening task manager was considered black magic (just like opening a terminal is today to most people)

It’s a joke how easy some of those were to bypass. I still remember when the lab installed some nanny cam app so they could make sure kids weren’t playing games or looking at shit they shouldn’t. The app was so bad that I could just open task manager and kill the nanny cam software.

The librarians loved me, so I don’t think they cared enough to say anything, even when they went after kids near me doing similar shit.

Nah, VC was much more fun long term than SA. SA had sooooo many more annoying features and set pieces imo

Agreed. I spent a bit of time writing out a script for similar functionality for one of our business units, but I never was able to figure out how to convert excel sheets to a PDF to be able to merge them in the allotted time, so it just doesn’t support them lol.

But I can see why it wouldn’t have an API, since the whole deal is it stays in your browser, and an API would mean sending the files to the server.

I just think you should pay more attention to your spelling if you’re going to do so. It makes you look foolish.

Thank you for admitting you completely missed the sarcastic mocking. You could have saved us all some time by not protecting your ego from the start.

Anyway, I’m done explaining this to you. Buh-bye.

Good, saves me the trouble of breaking out the crayons to help you understand the point you’re ignoring.

Of course you did, which is why you chose to attack my intellect and spelling* instead of addressing what I’m mocking.

It’s ok if people make fun of things you like, that doesn’t mean they’re dumb or anything. Assuming people are dumb for making fun of people who have fallen for the scam for over a decade says more about your intellect than mine.

Wait… Store Citizen has a plan???

Yeah, but ED is a full game, not some decade old alpha scam that has no actual plan and is a living definition of scope creep and customer milking.

I really wanted to get into Store Citizen back in the early 2010s, but thankfully I clocked the grift early before I put any time or money into it.

it’s because it’s a grift.

Always has been.

Look at the price of those ships you can buy, its always looked like a very obvious attempt to keep rolling in money while always juuuuuuust being a bit too far away to release. But just give us a few more million and we’ll toooootally release it.

We just need to buy another ship guise, they’re so close to release!

That’s better than what I heard earlier. The article o read the other day made it sound like it would buy the next block of 15 hours

Literally the first sentence

A few hours ago, reports surfaced that Larian are making use of generative AI during development of their new RPG Divinity - specifically, to come up with ideas, produce placeholder text, develop concept art, and create materials for PowerPoint presentations.

Assuming 5% of buyers leave a review, that would be 20,000 in sales. At a net unit revenue of $10 (after Steam’s cut and the payment processor), that would be $200 K net revenue.

A unit revenue of $10 means your product is going for ~15 base price. I don’t know about you, but I rarely buy stuff above $10 anymore. So like the other guy said, you’re looking at like half of that based on people buying during sales.
