Yeah, I feel like all of those games would be better with community ran dedicated servers instead of this modern matchmaking crap. Matchmaking really killed communities and smaller clans.
The LZMA implementation already validates bounds elsewhere (bufLimit). If p->buf exceeds its limit, the program aborts the decompression safely.🚫 The claim of unchecked memory access is baseless.
There have always been pretty tech demos without much gameplay. There was Incoming it was basically a super simple turret section showing off the awesome (at the time) capabilities of the first Voodoo card. It was impressive and fun for about 15 minutes.
Still doesn't look too bad considering it came out in 1998.
Until they find out about it and detect the PCIe device by hardware id and ban the cheater.
They even have cheats that connect to the DRAM slots to read character positions from RAM as a wallhack now. Those are still undetectable by anti-cheats, kernel level or otherwise. Only manual review of replays or reports of shooting the wall for half the round might make them suspicious.
If it's an EXE and you just want extract it you can use https://github.com/dscharrer/innoextractIt supports the special GOG Inno files. And it's a lot faster than the official installer with less temp files.
Other than being a nostalgia-reference filled and well put together time waster it's not that special. It's very inoffensive and it runs well. Maybe that is enough for most people to indulge and enjoy.
I don't think it GOTY material but I don't hate it. It's certainly fun and has tons of cute details.
I am currently somewhat addicted to The X-Com Files. It's a mod for OpenXCom which in turn is a port of the original 1993 X-Com. It's fucking brilliant (and free).
Before that I played a campaign of Starsector. I also liked Gris and Dredge earlier.
I don't know which I despise more: sleazy ubi suits or the cockroaches that finance those ubi suits.
Fucking sucks that you can't just buy from a dev studio directly. So only indie games on GOG for me... Haven't had that much fun in quite a while. And no longer need to upgrade my PC.
A $379 PELADN HA-4 mini PC has 16GB DDR5 RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD a Ryzen 7 7840HS that easily beats a PS5 (it ties even a i9 11900K desktop in CPU benchmarks).
The APU on that thing runs most games on medium settings (like a PS5) at 60fps and the latest games as well as a non pro PS5. It's a lot faster than a steam deck.
Who on earth needs a console for twice the price that performs worse or slightly better? If you are a tinkerer you can even upgrade that thing with an eGPU.
Radeon 780M with fast DDR5 and 8 core unlocked 5.1GHz CPU only has problems maintaining 30fps in Black Myth Wukong.It runs circles around the non Pro PS5 in everything else. I wonder how the chinese did get it that cheap. I got one and almost can't believe the value of that thing... The metal box is decent and temps are great. All that copper makes that thing quite heavy though.
Quite true. But also no mouselook. It was good for turning and shooting though. Romero also endorsed this thing:
