The Games Workshop of 2025 is not the GW of… fucking corpse god, 2004. Modern day GW very much cares about their brand and the “synergy” with tabletop and the like.
GW has always been about chasing trends and synergy with new products. Xenos being ignored in favour of human armies has been a meme for as long as the game existed. And I remember DoW1 including flying units in the last expansion just because GW was pushing them in the tabletop.
Has it become even worse? Tbh I hate GW and I don’t keep up with their news.
You should re-read the discussion, because I’m pretty positive you didn’t even get the topic.
We are talking about being able to play pirated games and homebrew apps on the X360. Of course that doesn’t happen in the wild. Unless you think that I woke up one day with a modded PS1.
The exploit is a race condition that requires precise timing and several other conditions to be met for it to trigger successfully. As such it can take a while for that to happen.
Which means that, sometimes, you run the code but it simply fails. When it happens, you can turn off the console and try again.
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.
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?
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.
