Indie devs going hard once again THE SPEED BABY !!! Damn beauty of a game right here.

@__silent_ @W_Kritzinger use your power for good, name it the World Peace update

@W_Kritzinger No more codenames after my last codename was the world's worst jinx

San Andreas has lines for "You're surrounded" and "Cover me", but they are triggered in a way that's only meaningful for gangsters, even though gangsters don't even have the former. With a fixed check, SilentPatch now also lets the cops trigger these texts for even more variety!

@Coldeskfan420 @__silent_ Really depends on what you say - most I’ve seen don’t really care about stuff in the past as long as it doesn’t imply anything about how it is currently. Like, they probably wouldn’t lift a finger if someone came out and said GTA 4 development was a mess.

@ChlorideCull @__silent_ Feel like rockstar will never stop caring tbh, the stuff that does come out doesn’t paint a good picture of actually working there

LIFETIME NDAs gg Rockstar

@Claxle @__silent_ Not even that, they can sue your estate! You’d need to do some weird Rube Goldberg esque thing to break it not just after you’re dead, but after your estate has dissolved, months later

@ChlorideCull @__silent_ The expiration is dying I suppose

@AgentLouisianaF @__silent_ My point is that anyone could sue for anything, valid or not, and you still have to pony up for legal defense. It’s why SLAPP lawsuits work. All it takes is for some CEO to ask ChatGPT or something and get bad advice.

@ChlorideCull @__silent_ name me one singular time a fucking widescreen fix has been c&d'd (or better yet one where the case somehow got to court) because random literal who's on twitter unassociated with the creator were putting them in repacks

The amount of people in the replies saying "you're wrong, it's abandonware so it's fully legal" is troubling. Abandonware is not a legal term, it's an assumption that because the game is no longer for sale, no one will care. Usually this is the case, but it's not legally binding.

@AgentLouisianaF @__silent_ It’s only a non-issue until it isn’t. It’s important to remember that you don’t have to break any laws to get sued, and legal defense isn’t cheap by any means. In a copyright case you can easily be out five figures USD until it’s done and the loser pays the legal fees. I get it

@__silent_ on one hand i agree on the other thirteenag is annoying and i think he's being weird about a nonissue

installed a soundboard so i can play a sound everytime i press hotbar hotkeys

Yesterday NATO StratCOM released their assessment on "Social Media Manipulation for Sale". Since 2019 NATO StratCOM has been performing Red Team assessments on the largest social media networks. They're trying to assess how resistant they are to external influence. In summary, NATO gives nerds money to go to sketchy websites and pay for people to artificially inflate their viewership. Once they begin receiving fake views, comments, likes, etc. They monitor the accounts over the time span of several weeks, months, or years. NATO StratCOM monitors: - What the accounts are boosting - Who they're boosting - When they're boosting - When the fake accounts were created - How long the accounts are active - How long it takes for social media sites to take action Additionally, because a lot of these boosting services accept Bitcoin, they track the money. I'll link the paper in the subsequent post. It is incredibly interesting. What is more interesting however is that on X they noticed right-leaning content is heavily amplified by botnet farms. Conversely, on BlueSky left-leaning content is heavily amplified by botnet farms. Additionally, in 2025 a significant spike occurred whereas pro-Chinese content on X was manipulated and artificially boosted. The botnets specifically aimed to boost anything which paints China as having superior technology or military capability.

if you’re looking for any zero-cost activities to do in adelaide you can plow your car into the gravel trap next to the highway for free

See, this is why they should have let Microsoft take over. Microsoft would’ve just killed TikTok not out of malice, but because it simply can’t run a consumer app without accidentally turning it into Teams or adding Copilot. And the world would be at peace.

absolutely fantastic

@vxunderground sadly can’t do unless you have a visual studio subscription

@achornback @vxunderground USB-PD can increase the voltage, which is how you get to 240W. The heat generated by a wire is based on the amperage alone, so you could just go outside the standard and crank 2.6 kV over a regular 3A cable - just don’t go near it while charging to avoid dying

@vxunderground Even the highest power USB-C cables can apparently carry 240W... although what I'm seeing commercially available are 5V/20A, which works out to 100W.

Startup idea: electric vehicles that charge over USB C

@vxunderground this site is cooked

wtf just opened my door and found these weird looking bugs. anyone know what these are?

@vxunderground god this is insufferable

Look at the replies to this Why are they trying to complicate it? You don't need a botnet farm, you don't need to spam my social media, you don't need to send me weird DMs. Just give me the malware, bro. x.com/vxunderground/…

@vxunderground it’s “Vx-underground” which is somehow worse

This is indexed on the first page of Google. Thank you, Elastio, for not explicitly stating vx-underground is a malware archive and that "VXUG ransomware" is someone impersonating us. It is very cool you track it as "vx-underground" too.

@vxunderground genuinely can’t tell if this is a shitpost, a recommendation, or if you’ve been hacked society

@Cr0writer @vxunderground @grok lmao
