The mod includes everything needed to downgrade other stores' copies. To the end user, the idea is to make it as transparent as possible. This will work on Steam (with some work) and GOG (with less work), but not Epic(at all). Calling out one storefront unnecessarily would be "provocative bullshit" but in this case, it matters.

I was at a friend's house playing Utopia: The Creation of a Nation on SNES.

He warned me not to save my game, but I blanked and did anyway. Apparently there was only one save slot, so I overwrote all his previous work. There's not really anything to fess up to here, since he was sitting right there giving me the most what the fuck look a teenager can give. But for the record, I'm still sorry 30 years later, Rick.

He followed up a few days later, having continued my game, and the aliens absolutely fucked up my (our) colony almost immediately the save point. I didn't even give him a good mid-starting point to begin from.

  1. They auto-promote anyone with a blue check, which are disproportionately elon stans, which are increasingly nazis.

They recently started releasing viewing data for all shows in six months intervals.

That sounds like the report for the first half of 2023, but also has a link to the second half.

Their exact criteria will probably change depending on a number of factors, but one could look up figures for a cancelled show to get some idea of what isn't good enough.

It's one banana, Michael. What could it cost, $10?

It likes bots writing to the site, for the engagement; it doesn't like bots reading the site (for free).

 

Just because a 3060ti is technically capable of ray tracing doesn't mean I want you to keep turning it on every time the driver gets an update.

 

More people were killed by U.S. law enforcement in 2023 than any other year in the past decade, outpacing population growth eightfold.

 

"Don't make a wrong move," the officer said as he pinned the struggling subject to the ground. "Period."

The officer tightened the handcuffs around the subject's thin wrists.

"Ow, ow, ow, it really hurts," the subject exclaimed.

The officer pressed his weight into the subject's small body while school staff watched it all unfold. The person he was restraining was 7 years old.
