They have definitely convinced me to never buy anything they make. I have too many other games in my library, so they can just piss right off.

Well they are still selling in-game money without letting anyone know that they possibly cannot use it. But guess what rockstar, if I have to choose between your games and Linux, Linux wins every time. Later...

Yup. I put in a ticket with Rockstar and here is their official reply. TLDR: Fuck off.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rockstar Support.

We certainly understand that you are unable to login to GTA online through Steam Deck after the update.

We would like to inform you that the primary goal of incorporating BattlEye into GTA Online is to enhance the overall gaming experience by actively scanning for cheats and exploits, and preventing players with cheats and mods from entering online. The Steam Deck players will not be able to join GTA Online but should be able to launch single-player without any issues. we appreciate your understanding in this matter.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know. We are here to assist you.

Best regards,

M______. Rockstar Support

So I guess those of us who would just go to a friend only server immediately upon starting the game, are fucked now if we are using linux. What a bunch of shit.

You don't think I got this rich by writing checks, do you?

Nintendo Switch Edition was absolutely my favorite, and now you can only play it if you had a copy before they took it off the marketplace.

I am not sure, but to tie this all back together, the whole conversation came up when we were talking about how, when you kill a bat in Valheim it drops leather.

I have a friend who is Swedish, and my all time favorite isn't a movie, but a comic book. Batman translated into Läderlappen. So after some discussion about that period in time and how things were being translated I asked, well then what did Robin translate to, and he looked at me and said "Robin". I almost fell out of my chair. So he brought me a copy of Läderlappen and Robin. I love it.

Secondly, I’d attempt to write a bash script to walk a directory tree, cat out files, pipe it through grep and get every instance where VirtualBox is mentioned in a file. Trying the name of proccess, or of the executable too.

Move to the top of the tree you want to search and do something like this:

find . -type f -exec grep -iH "virtualboxexecutable" {} ;

That will give you what you want without the need for a script. -type f makes the find command only search files, and -exec has it run the grep command on any files it returns with -iH giving you case insensitive results showing you the file it's found in. Substitute 'virtualboxexecutable' with whatever the process name is that is being run. If you want to ignore binary files, the add in "| grep -iv "binary file matches" to the command. That will strip out any results where it has searched a binary file.

Does the uid you are using to run nginx have permissions to read the root folder (defined above as /var/www/html/partviewer/public , not the actual linux root) and below?

For how much money they rake in these updates should be far more robust if anything.

They don't even seem to test. There has been a known issue connecting two Switches to the same game instance, and they have just kept moving the ticket along in Jira, extending out or asking each update if the issue still exist, and someone replies yes, on and on ad infinitum. They obviously aren't testing on anything other than a pristine godzillabit speed network, otherwise they would have found this issue a long time ago. And I have been playing long enough to remember when exactly that issue was introduced in an update. They make enough money on this franchise that bugs like this should be unacceptable, but hey we have armadillos.... And those fucking phantoms. Yeah....

That is spot on Dwayne Johnson!

PacMan on the 2600 was pretty disappointing to say the least.

I’m not sure they know what cheesy is.

No shit! Tron wasn't cheesy, it was groundbreaking.

FTA: This year, the TEA said that at least 25% of the TELPAS writing and speaking assessments were re-routed to a human scorer to check the program’s work. That number oscillated between 17% and 23% in the previous six years, according to public records obtained by the Tribune.

Same with me. I put a little heart in the middle left corner, and then went away on a trip. I was completely shocked to see it was still there for the final image. And love that it was worked into the Android logo. Thanks to all!!

I got it. Felt like I was just seconding your statement.

in any sane world.

It feels like that ship sailed some time ago.

I will link to a buffer from harbor freight, and I don't usually recommend tools from there if they are important or you require a certain quality, but this 6" buffer seems to be holding up well over the years. With this cheap buffer from h.f. I rescued a ton of dvd's for netflix. I would get them and they would be so scratched my player would have issues. So I would take the dvd out to the shop and give it a once over with the buffer. You have to pay attention to the direction the buffer is spinning and only polish/buff from the center out on the disc, only use a fine polishing compound at the start, and never let the dvd sit in one spot on the buffer or it will do some real damage to it. But I was very successful getting a lot of dvd's repaired back to a working state with this method. It takes time, and you have be patient, but you can buff them out pretty nicely. Might save the library some money.

Can we pick a random city, and throw two rocks? Whoever they hit, we wake them up, dust them off and let them know they are the new presidential candidates. I am confident we will have a much better selection than the current.
