This might not be super useful if you don’t write code but I always found the contest submissions fun to read and try to figure out for the https://www.underhanded-c.org/ contest.

They break down and explain the runner up and finalist for each year and how the attack works. It’s usually something very subtle that most people wouldn’t catch.

Yeah what a badly written article, with awful takeaways.

Hard agree… One of the most polished early access games I’ve played in a long time. I’ve started over at least 3 or 4 times now. Sometimes single player. Sometimes multi-player. Can’t wait tor 1.0.

Looking forward to finally learning what the few WIP (work in progress) things will actually do…

While you’re forced to use ticketmaster you can still avoid installing their app via https://am.ticketmaster.com/

At best case 60 miles an hour… Your commute was more than 90 mins? Ugh. That’s awful.

You weren’t clear if that was round trip or not, so possibly more than 180 mins? How did you find time to sleep!?

You can find port crystals around the map or via quests. There are also some fixed ones on the map.

You can place them anywhere… Outside I think? But maybe just anywhere.

Once you find/place them you can use a Ferrystone while outside to travel to any one you have placed. There is almost always at least one Ferrystone for sale in each town, and it will refresh after a few days when you buy it. It will cost 10,000 gold.

The number of port crystals you can place are limited (in the first game it was 8 or 9?). You can find roughly 5 per playthrough iirc. You can NewGame+ as many times as you want once far enough in the main quest (retaining most items, equipment, all vocation levels and experience…i imagine any vocation master skills too; generally just the quests and the world reset). I’m still on my first playthrough so haven’t tried.

But there are no issues finding Port crystals and buying / finding Ferrystones. You DO NOT NEED MTX. That headline was so overblown.

I’ve had an Nvidia shield TV for like 6 years now. Very happy with it.

When I built my home server this is what I did with all VMs. Learned how to change the start up delay time in esxi and ensured everything came back online with no issues from a cold built.

Rip VMware.

I think I saw they said there is another update coming. Not sure how much actual content there is though. They specifically noted it’s not an expansion / DLC. Just an update.

You notice some differences just from the air temperature going into the engine too. Especially in a turbocharged car.

Colder air means denser air. Denser air means more oxygen molecules in the same volume of air. More oxygen means the engine can put more fuel and produce a bit more power.

Depending on your driving style, i.e. If you have a heavy foot, this means a bit more power and fun, but you’re burning a bit more gas too.
