  • The Blood of Dawnwalker lets you complete areas in any order, kill any NPCs you like, and still complete the game after failing every quest: 'We're giving even more freedom to players'

  • If you're a vampire like the title makes it sound, killing people you like makes sense. You're simply... making friends.

  • I hope you guessed their name.

  • Microsoft open-sources MS-DOS 1.0, offering a rare look at PC history

  • We're already at the point where Windows programs sometimes run better on Linux with a compatibility layer (WINE/Proton) than they do natively. The stuff that doesn't run is mostly games ladened with kernel-level DRM that Linux (rightfully) can't emulate.

    Linux even runs old Windows programs better than Windows itself, and long-term compatibility is supposed to be one of Windows' biggest selling points.

  • Modder releases PS5-Linux that turns the console into a fully functional Linux gaming PC

  • Didn't the PS5 boot signing keys leak recently? The word when that happened was that it blew PS5 modding wide open in a way that couldn't be closed without new hardware, though I guess publishing anything that used Sony's key would have their lawyers after you real quick.

  • So like how does one get job as fresh graduate?

    Jump

  • Chasing offers by headhunters is such a miserable experience. Your résumé will be one amongst hundreds of applicants, most of which will be filtered out by AI before a human ever reads them (using opaque logic that could disqualify you for no reason whatsoever, so if you never hear back after many applications there's a good chance something in your résumé is tripping their filter and there's no way to know what it is).

    And the headhunter is probably a third-party hire not affiliated with the actual team, so the first interview will be with someone who doesn't know what questions to ask and you have to somehow make a good impression without being able to show off any of your knowledge. Basically showing good vibes or whatever. Good luck if you're a talented but socially awkward person!

    Then you'll have to go through the whole interview process again once they hand you over to the people who hired them and actually know what they need. At this point you've finally reached what was once the starting line of the hiring process.

    TL;DR: Fuck LinkedIn and modern hiring.

  • I hate to say it, but when it comes to landing a first job, connections trump almost everything else. If you have friends in the industry, ask for referrals. If not, you can try to foster relationships with industry professionals and directly ask them about any openings in their companies. They'll know which ones are worth applying for, and a single word in your favor will greatly improve your chances of an interview.

    If you still have access to your college resources, they often organize industry meet-and-greets for this very reason.

    (This is also why mentors and internships are incredibly useful even beyond the skills they teach. The connections you form can give you a leg up for years afterwards.)

  • Maybe he gave her a copy of the book

  • What did Tolkien give his wife?

    He wrote her into the story as Lúthien, focus of the most famous romantic legend in the setting.

  • PowerWash Simulator 2's Next DLC Will Let You Clean Up A Galaxy Far, Far Away

  • They'd better not include the Millennium Falcon. Cleaning off all the grime would be sacrilege!

  • I think Caesar was simply having fun trying to create Tron lightcycle gameplay long before anyone else.

    Truly, he was a genius ahead of his time.

  • I haven't been there in maybe a decade if not more. My family used to buy their giant boxes of fried chicken or fish when I was a kid, never tried anything else.

    Checking online, that $5 plate you mentioned is now $12 at my local LJS.

  • Two Twilight Princess PC Ports in the making

  • Nintendo haven't killed any of the other decompilation projects yet, which includes mainline Mario games. It seems to be legally in the clear so they can't issue a takedown.

  • It's your fault.

  • It's a tablet that doesn't have cell coverage. As far as I can tell no form of connectivity it offers is blocked in airplane mode. I guess it's only there because base Android includes the toggle?

    And in older versions it was a proper killswitch for radios. My previous phones couldn't use any connectivity with it enabled.

  • If you've tried their fish you've basically tried their chicken. Due to them being fried with the same batter in the same oil, they taste nearly identical. The fish doesn't really taste like fish and the chicken doesn't really taste like chicken - both taste like batter and grease that's been reused one too many times.

    I love it.

  • Anthropic Mythos shaping up as nothingburger

    Jump

  • As much as I hate everything about the rise of LLMs, saying this isn't impressive because it can be matched by "an elite security researcher" isn't very reassuring to me. It's still an agent being pointed at a codebase and finding hundreds of vulnerabilities. Even if only a twentieth turn out to be exploitable in practice, that's still a terrifying tool to imagine in the hands of hackers who might otherwise lack the skills to find these vulnerabilities.

    Most hacking groups buy exploits off of dark markets and indiscriminately target servers until they find one that's vulnerable. The number that can actually develop those hacks is far smaller, but if you can simply ask an LLM to find a vulnerability then that bar is lifted. Hell, you could probably coerce it into writing the actual exploit too by claiming you need a proof-of-concept for a CVE writeup.
