  • Uh. I never see thumbnails on my posts on either my app (Lemmy) or pc (either the standard lemmy site or Alexandrite). Maybe Voyager has a built-in functionality that allows it to fetch the thumbnails frok YT when they are missing in the post itself?

  • It's not a dumb video and it's not an edge case. It's a great video that goes straight to the point, has timestamps, explains in detail how the exploit works and how consistently, and showcases it.

    The exploit is BadUpdate v1.2, an evolution of the previously known BadUpdate, which was great as a proof of concept but not very useful in practice, as it required an average of 30 minutes to work, had a success rate of about 30%, and needed to be applied every time the console was rebooted (on a console with no sleep mode, may I add).

    By comparison, as shown in the dumb video, the new version of BadUpdate works flawlessly in about a minute (10 max), and has a far greater success rate of about 80%, according to the creator. It can be launched from a USB stick and requires no additional software or hardware modification to the console, and most importantly, works on all X360 and not just earlier editions.

    If you're too lazy to click on a link, fine, but I'd suggest at least not acting so confidently when saying things you know nothing about.

  • Tangentially related: how do I make YT thumbnails (or any thumbnail, for that matter) show on Lemmy posts?

  • Hello, fellow Rainmeter user with Mond skin.

  • Bold of you to assume they have a strategy at all.

  • Why did mother nature make them so criminally cute?

  • Damn, I love DONTNOD games and completely missed this reveal until now. The gameplay sequence at around 0:50 reminds me of the Jusant climbing gameplay which I particularly loved.

    Pretty interested for this one - Despite the shortcomings inherent to their AA nature, DONTNOD games are always charming and full of interesting ideas.

  • Resident Evil 2 Remake left me very disappointed. The moment-to-moment gameplay is good, great even! But the complete lack of soundtrack (despite the original game having a lot of iconic tracks), two thirds of the story being cut, and the characters just acting as imbeciles for half the screentime was upsetting. Worst offender was Leon leaving a man to die inside his cell because "I have to speak with the chief first". Like, what? You don't even know if the chief is alive, and even if he was, you don't know where he is, and you don't have the certainty that you can get back in one piece to free the poor guy from jail. You really want to leave him like that at the mercy of whatever monster lurks inside?

    Don't get me started on 3 Remake.

  • For my European friends that want more precise measurements: it's about the weight of ten 1-euro coins.

    You're welcome!

  • I am. I grew up with the PS1 and I really liked the simplicity, ease of use, affordability and reliability of older gens, but the newer ones seem to have all the cons of consoles and none of the benefits.

  • Unsurprisingly. I remember some friends swearing that it would be DOA because of console/games prices and whatever.

    I was like, if gamers were careful with their money, we wouldn’t have had horse armor nonsense for the past 20 years, lol.

  • Are we already talking about next gen leaks? Damn, this generation passed by and I barely noticed it.

  • I've never played a NSFW game. I'm also, like, very much Ace, so, like, no chance in hell I'll ever will. BUT I can't resist the allure of free games! No matter what they are...

    There's also Postal 2 in there lol, that convinced me to click the Claim button.

    I've already hidden the games from the library, so I'll probably never see them again and forget they exist in about 6 months from now...

  • Is this an account specifically created to advertise a shitty mobile-looking game?

  • There's got to be irony somewhere in Sony striking a deal with Palworld, then suing another company for copying the art of their game.

  • It's been a while and I've never tried a 100% pacifist run, but I think that it's theoretically possible in Planescape: Torment (Steam, GoG).

    I know for a fact that the vast majority of encounters can be skipped with dialogue, and in fact, it's heavily incentivized because the combat system is not very good.

  • Damn, inflation spiked since I last had a look at Faerun's prices.

  • Aww
