FBI says it's now seized "multiple" ROM piracy sites, claims downloads resulted in $170m losses in just three months
So now the company will have ~100m extra revenue in the next 3 months? Right? Right?

Toyota Developing A Console-Grade, Open-Source Game Engine - Using Flutter & Dart
Idk why they are calling it console grade when their focus is largely on in vehicle displays. It’s more like threejs than unreal.
They were going with Flutter to leverage its rich UI toolkit and for "building stunning interactive experiences."

These don’t exist in my country but when I had traveled I pressed these all the time? I hope that country is doing okay.

'Traitors' Star Paul Gorton Says 'Being Vegan Is The Easiest Life Choice I've Made'

And trusting restaurants. It says vegan on menu, you check with them and they say it’s vegan, you wait for your order, and there’s cheese on it.

I can say 90% of PRs in my company clearly look or declared to be AI generated because of how random things that still slip by in the commits, so maybe he's not wrong. In fact people are looked down upon if they aren't using AI and are celebrated for figuring out how to effectively make AI do the job right. But I can't say if that's the case for other companies.

Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?
Got laid off this week. Sucks. Severance is good enough for few months, will just work my backlog I guess.
Finished Witcher 3 main story, will start DLCs after the remaster is out (I thought I was in the safe 11 years post release, guess not lol).
I am trying Helldivers 2, not into multiplayer but thought I could see if it is something I like.
I wanna get into Cyberpunk 2077 next, but I feel decision fatigue after Witcher 3 (my first CDPR game). I actually like linear games with not many choices, makes me anxious that I’m playing game wrong, just like I feel I’m living life wrong. Especially when games are 40+ hour long. Let’s see if I can get over it.

Matured piss was used for washing clothes. Next time bottle it up and use after 2 weeks of fermenting.

Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?
Playing Witcher 3 lately for the first time. Coming from already playing games like Kingdom Come Deliverance, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, and modern God of War games, it’s interesting to see how Witcher 3 retains its original flavour and yet its formula has been taken into various extremes by other games. I love the realism and interesting story lines of KCD, and the mindless addictive loop of AC Odyssey full of fantastical myths and moral choices, and the emotional depth of God of War. Overall I weirdly feel KCD took the best lessons and created something really unique.
I don’t know if it’s fair to compare these games like this, but yeah, I get these comparisons in my mind.
Speaking of Witcher 3, it took me three tries to actually get into it, the game is quite a lot when you start it, especially not having played first two. But once I did, it was really fun. I was torn at every moral choice, and a bit burnt out eventually. I don’t love difficult choices with consequences in games as in real life, but it’s good to confront that anyway. A lot of the quests are memorable for that reason.
Overall, enjoying it a lot. I’m sure people in 2015 must have their minds blown by this game back then.

Just finished Silent Hill 2 Remake. Really enjoyed it. Time slowed down as I played it, the game isn’t that scary coming from games like RE7, but the atmosphere and the trauma stories are really something. Medium from Bloober was similar in that way. The gameplay was fun too, never overstayed its welcome.
I feel they did creepy rooms and underworld better than Alan Wake 2 did it. Not sure if it’s fair to compare them, but parts of it made me feel how AW2 didn’t go far enough in some of its sequences.
UE5 sucks though. Lots of noisy and shimmery graphics and fps at times dips to literal slideshow on PS5.

New Rumored Xbox Game Pass Tier Includes Only First Party Games
Enshitification was when they hiked prices and claimed it was more value. This actually seems okay for the largest publisher on planet to have their own sub, like Ubisoft, EA, Rockstar. Though I wonder do they really have that good games? I use gamepass more for third party lineup than first party.

India sends 'cockroach' leaders to jail after protest
Things are really bad. Apparently the protest site is reneged, new site is a paid location, and entering the protest site, which is a public place, is now trespassing. Meanwhile the PM is claiming that his country is mother of democracy with open debates.
