That's not what it says at all lol, did you read the article? Cox Media has to pay $25 million dollars because they were too lax on pirates and didn't implement an effective way to stop repeat offenders, they aren't obligated to report anything by law, they will just be more strict on their policies from now on.

Just saw this in the SFV to SteamOS with Controller Support thread

As I understood it, if other ISPs want to fight disclosure of their client's info, the companies that want it can use this ruling as a precedent.

IANAL though.

Spoiler

Please don't ban me like you did with Salsa

It does say that but it's by no means a law and other companies are following the rules, unlike Cox which paid for it so it probably won't make a big difference except for Cox going forward.

Humble Sports bundle
TIER 1: 1$

• Max Gentlemen
• Qvadriga
• OlliOlli

TIER 2: BTA

• WRC4
• Vertiginous Golf
• Sportsfriends

TIER 3: 10$

• OOTP Baseball 16

Max Gentleman DLC (more fucking hats and characters to wear hats) and Sportfriends for about 3 bucks is worth it.

Max Gentleman is a hilarious time waster. Even cooler cause I played it on an actual arcade cabinet at PAX East once.

Heh, I thought about automating my cards alert posts, but I'm too lazy to actually do it, and I don't like the idea of a script posting for me without my oversight.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

It's 20% off launch discount, so it comes to $16. I would agree with you if this was a simple port or running in a wrapper, but Night Dive actually ported the game to a new engine, added new effects (god rays, water reflections, etc), incorporated Steam workshop and mod tools, and even added new areas when the old ones weren't cutting it.

I'm thinking about just straight up buying it right away since I have the day off.

Yeah, it's pretty impressive how much work they have done with it. I might just bite

that is an offense to both women and battleships

Looks like Rise of the Tomb Raider app was added to a new very regional sub. Are they getting ready to publish the store page and accept pre-orders? Or not?


Or maybe?!

Probably not but I just want to pre-order the game, flip the switch please.

He was a man...once. But we we modified him, improved him with technology, fused him with machine. Like that scene in Robocop.

i don't think used digital games will bring on a future quite as apocalyptic as you make it out to be and it'll probably be for the best but it'd make changes for sure

but tbh i don't think the current system of desperately waiting for discounts and devs slashing prices to get noticed is good for anyone either, not in the long run at least

There is a little normal ship in all of us.

a tiny normal ship in an ocean of weird

checks out for me

lashman i appreciate all of your posts

 

[Stumpokapow]

Heh, I thought about automating my cards alert posts, but I'm too lazy to actually do it, and I don't like the idea of a script posting for me without my oversight.

It's pretty easy and there's very little risk. Some things to keep in mind:
- the posting throttle
- the thread ID changing on a monthly basis
- maybe separately implement a throttle so that your summary posts are no more than once a day or w/e

Beyond that, spoofing is easier if you use a browsing session emulator than doing direct http post requests because vBulletin has this security token to prevent session spoofing.

If you ping me when I'm in a place where I have Internet access on something other than my phone I'd be happy to do a bare minimum Python script for GAF auto posting. I can just adapt some of ModBot's code.

Most of ModBot obviously has some level of user oversight but we have a few pieces of code like automatic account suicide detectors which can operate autonomously. Most of the quirks I ran into on that front are on the mod/Admin side not the regular-ass user side.

lashman would now be my primary source of news and snippets of interest, I think - nothing slips past the lashbot.

Thanks for being so on top of things, lashy! You're a gem, and your work is much appreciated.
