I love that pirate groups still use ascii text art in their release notes. It’s like a little piece of the world that hasn’t changed in 30 years.

I need to find out how to make these. Mostly just cause I like it.

On Linux, you’ll want to install figlet and toilet (both available in the debian repos)

Alternatively you’ve got this online frontend

If you really want to get weird with it you can also play any video in ascii art through libcaca and mplayer. Looks like this

I use Arch btw Endeavour OS so don’t have Debian repos but I will definitely check them out. I especially like the fancy dark mode.

And still include cheesy mp3s playing too loud in retro-futuristic-looking installers

Somehow I expect hackers to do cooler stuff these days. I want hackers to release a Switch version of the game.

It can barely run on a gtx1070 man what kind of black magic do you expect a hacker to cast to make it run on a Switch

I really like the chip tunes, but I think they are not creating them anymore in the authentic way

I would think that it’s cheap availability on GamePass and likelihood of frequent updates would make for a muted response to this one.

Plus I don’t think it was protected to start with for modding purposes. People will be flying around in Thomas the Tank Engine by the end of next week.

For these reasons, I’d rather buy Bethesda games. As a company, they aren’t assholes. I’d hate for them to get bought out by ea or something like all the rest.

You forgot Fallout76 and their own shitty launcher, well and the fact that Microsoft bought them already…

And horse armour.

And all their attempts at turning modding into a walled garden they could control and profit from.

Yes, that would be terrible for them to be bought by somebody like MS.

While you’re absolutely right to point out they have already been bought by Microsoft. I think we can all admit MS has had an unbelievably better track record with acquiring studios than EA.

My only beef with them is their complete disregard for QA but, in the end, they’re right.

We’ll do it for them.

Well, and watering down the social commentary in their Fallouts to an absurd degree.

Can’t wait for Fallout 5 to say “AKSHUALLY, it was all China’s fault and capitalism is based and Vault Tec was justified. Join the Brotherhood or die, trash.”

The performance is absolute crap I think everyone should pirate it just to send a message. Like holy crap it’s awful.

I found an optimized ini file on nexusmods that has the game running real well and still looking pretty good. Good lord though yeah the performance is awful.

“Cracked” meaning having replaced a dll file

Exactly; this just needed an emulator like goldberg

Bethesda games usually don’t go for heavy DRM stuff (beyond the basic steam DRM), because it impairs modding (especially injection / nonofficial modding, stuff like SKSE for skyrim)

I have to applaud Bethesda for this decision, it is something that is very nice for the end user.

It really is a big move, since it likely cost them millions in early sales.

I probably would have bought it already if I couldn’t find a crack, but now I can pirate and wait for a nice sale.

I’m sure I’m not the only one.

They don’t even replace the DLL file for you! After you run the RUNE installer, you have to copy the emulator yourself

You can just click the checkbox for “Copy crack to install directory” to get the installer to do everything for you.

I’m not sure why that isn’t the default.

To be fair it’s the exact same bypass as any other Steam game. Any steam emulator would work.
