Damn, if that gives Palworld a dungeon where the poor pals can get blasted into bloody gibs, I’m so fucking down - probably won’t get that violent, I suppose we might get some 2 or 3 weapons and 2 sets of armor + 1 raid boss
“Quickly” - the “Bioware magic” used to be years of lack of direction followed by one year of “HOLY SHIT WE NEED TO DELIVER!” crunch
But the former executive producer of Dragon Age, Mark Darrah (…) posted a YouTube video about how the so-called “BioWare magic” really worked. According to Darrah, it referred to a hockey stick graph where most of the progress is nearly unnoticeable. It’s nearly flat, and “if you draw that line out, then your game is shipping in like 30 years.” At a certain point, the developers hit a “pivotal point” when the game would finally shape up and a lot of progress would be made in a short amount of time. According to the developer, that tipping point is what is known as“BioWare magic.”
Considering how the malware works, it seems that the criminal managed to copy/steal all the browser data of Rastaland, including open sessions, allowing him to login on any site that had an active session/cookies, including that pumpdotfun where the coin was
The game in question, Block Blasters, which was free to play, has been removed from Steam, although it seems owners can still try to install it, but antivirus programs may block those attempts.
The GData linked in the post shows that the game was released in July 31 and that the malware update came in August 30, adding a .bat and 2 .zip files within the Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/Ogg directory. The zip files were password protected, which blocked scanning.
The batch script checks first if the system is running only Windows Defender and does not have any of the listed AV products from AV_PROCESSES as a running process; if these criteria are met, the batch script unpacks the contents of the archive “v1.zip” (…) The script “1.bat” adds the destination folder of the executables found inside the “v3.zip” archive to the exemption list for Microsoft Defender Antivirus. [emphasis mine]
So, yeah, it’s pretty clear how easily it went undetected by Steam, Windows Defender or any other antivirus program - malware inside a password protected zip. I suspect making something similar on Android wouldn’t be much harder, as an app or game that needs access to your internal storage isn’t “too weird”, like something that asks for some music to play in a stage.
Copilot: “That’s a great question! XxX_420694ever_XxX’s race is “pounding” and sexual orientation is “yo mama”, would you like to see this player’s achievements?”
One of the polygon commenters had it right: Valve should put the game at 30% discount for a week, where said 30% is their cut, so every sale in that meantime goes straight to the devs
To be fair, it seems only Epic themselves know how to fuck around with UE5 nowadays. That nanite lighting, temporal antialiasing and dithering everything makes everything look like ass. Games from 2016 look better
Nah, you just need to get a friendly judge to tell whoever decides to dispute your patent that they’re wrong and your patent is totally valid and innovative
