@EndymionYT You get paid for bots, yes. Also you appear higher for people sorting by viewers (almost everyone), so you get more real viewers too.

Can someone explain the whole view botting epidemic to me? What's the point? Do these views equal actual paid views or are they just there for show? Is Twitch able to not see that these are genuine or do they not care?
Or is the botted view count just meant so people see the number & want to watch it to see what's going on? I'm confused by it, why lie like this
Paez@Paezwyd
Friendly reminder that basically all Twitch streamers are running view bots

@Pirat_Nation Eastern devs more successful than ever.
Indi devs more successful than ever.
I wonder where the problem is.

A new survey shows that 44 percent of video game developers are thinking about leaving the industry.
North America has seen the most video game industry layoffs by far especially in the United States and California.
>Roughly 61% of all layoffs since the big wave began in 2022 have been in North America
>California alone accounted for about 50% of global layoffs in the earlier years and still makes up around 27% of 2026 cuts so far.
>In 2026 to date, 55% of layoffs have hit North America, compared to just 24% in Europe.
>The GDC 2026 State of the Game Industry survey backs this up: 33% of U.S. developers reported being laid off in the past two years, higher than the global average of 28%.
>76% of UK devs are now considering leaving games entirely.

@CrimsonDesert_ Are you going to remove Denuvo already? I want to buy the game, not have to pirate it to play it sooner.

Hey Greymanes,
We’re currently preparing our next update which will include several features mentioned in last week's Dev Update notice, including the addition of a keyboard/mouse and controller preset, difficulty settings, category tabs for your inventory, and more. We want to take our time with testing and polishing things before we roll the patch out, which we expect to do sometime next week. Also, due to the distant scenery quality improvements we are adding in, this patch size will be larger than our previous ones. We hope you're looking forward to this update, and thanks for your patience and support!

Hacking the #EU #AgeVerification app in under 2 minutes.
During setup, the app asks you to create a PIN. After entry, the app *encrypts* it and saves it in the shared_prefs directory.
1. It shouldn't be encrypted at all - that's a really poor design.
2. It's not cryptographically tied to the vault which contains the identity data.
So, an attacker can simply remove the PinEnc/PinIV values from the shared_prefs file and restart the app.
After choosing a different PIN, the app presents credentials created under the old profile and let's the attacker present them as valid.
Other issues:
1. Rate limiting is an incrementing number in the same config file. Just reset it to 0 and keep trying.
2. "UseBiometricAuth" is a boolean, also in the same file. Set it to false and it just skips that step.
Seriously @vonderleyen - this product will be the catalyst for an enormous breach at some point. It's just a matter of time.
Paul Moore - Security Consultant @Paul_Reviews
.@vonderleyen "The European #AgeVerification app is technically ready. It respects the highest privacy standards in the world. It's open-source, so anyone can check the code..." I did. It didn't take long to find what looks like a serious #privacy issue. The app goes to great lengths to protect the AV data AFTER collection (is_over_18: true is AES-GCM'd); it does so pretty well. But, the source image used to collect that data is written to disk without encryption and not deleted correctly. For NFC biometric data: It pulls DG2 and writes a lossless PNG to the filesystem. It's only deleted on success. If it fails for any reason (user clicks back, scan fails & retries, app crashes etc), the full biometric image remains on the device in cache. This is protected with CE keys at the Android level, but the app makes no attempt to encrypt/protect them. For selfie pictures: Different scenario. These images are written to external storage in lossless PNG format, but they're never deleted. Not a cache... long-term storage. These are protected with DE keys at the Android level, but again, the app makes no attempt to encrypt/protect them. This is akin to taking a picture of your passport/government ID using the camera app and keeping it just in case. You can encrypt data taken from it until you're blue in the face... leaving the original image on disk is crazy & unnecessary. From a #GDPR standpoint: Biometric data collected is special category data. If there's no lawful basis to retain it after processing, that's potentially a material breach. youtube.com/watch?v=4VRRri…

@ShitpostRock2 Everything Blizzard right now. Still playing Diablo, still playing WoW, but I think it's time to give up.

Why do people take my account so seriously? People literally crying when I post their fav podcaster, celeb or politician.
Tucker posted something stupid. I said so. They cried like babies "unfollowed" etc. I've defended him many times too, but I thought the post was retarded. Same with the Trump Jesus thing earlier this week. I'm surprised I have any followers with the amount crying people do.
You'll never dictate to me how I run my page. I will run it into the ground before I give in to any mob. Prob why the page is doing the best it ever has.
So I'm just going to keep doing it, stop taking it so damn seriously.

Another banger from one of my favourite AI blogs. Pearl Abyss wants Crimson Desert to be one of the most successful single player games in 2026. And it is.
>300 hours of content.
>5 million copies sold.
>125k daily players
IN A SINGLE PLAYER GAME! A MONTH AFTER RELEASE!

It's been a month since release and I'm still not sure if Pearl Abyss knows what it wants Crimson Desert to be pcgamer.com/games/action/i…

Most of IGN reviews are written by AI at this point. No other way.
Smash JT@SmashJT
Various IGN reviewers have rated Dragon Age: The Veilguard and Dustborn higher than Crimson Desert and Mouse: P.I. for Hire. At this point it's pretty clear that they are not a review outlet so much as a propaganda machine to push 'The Message' This needs to stop.

@JoshStrifeHayes The gaming culture started leaning left back in 2014 and reached peak left radicalism a couple of years ago. We're going back to normalcy now but we'll need a few more bankrupcies, takeovers, buyouts and layoffs to get there.

Dangerous question time ⚠️
Do you find 'gaming' culture, in general, leans more to the right or left wing, ideologically.
Not, which way do YOU lean, but based on your time in the hobby, which side do you seem to encounter more often.
