Got really annoyed with Deus Ex freezing occasionally when going into menus and decided to look into it for far too long; I'm 95% sure that its source is actually Kentie's Deus Exe launcher, since it doesn't happen with the vanilla executable. I've decided to shave that yak later.

Can you tell that I sent the email requesting that last one right before I left for game 6 of the world series last year? bsky.app/profile/thel...

Remember that you should vote, because even if you don't vote, people like this do.

Mayoral elections today and our city doesn't have a Mamdani to vote for (in the "duh, obvious choice" way) so I've had to practically do a coin flip on who to pick.

I spent a chunk of time adding Confix and the Lay D Denton Pack into my Deus Ex mod. I was hesitant at first, but since this got big fast, I feel like it can be considered "merged into" instead of "built on top of". One annoyance: LDDP seems to use the GOTY maps as its base, not the patched maps.

Ported some of the stamina stuff over from GMDX into my mod. Thinking of adding a fatigue mechanic of some sort, but I need to think about how to properly balance it.

"i sold a number of games that someone would use it as a cryptographic key" used to mean something.

on this point in particular: egs sales are so bad it's common for devs to share and compare out of disbelief, and often what you find is quite popular games are selling only in the double or triple digits of copies last i checked, my game had sold (drum roll please) five

details leaked. this vulnerability is a full unauthenticated unconditional remote code execution exploit against any service running on a PHP version from 5.4 until latest yeah if anything deserves CVSS 11, this is it. this is CATACLYSMICALLY bad.

nightshade →home, for now@nightshade.technology

oh it's bad. oh it's BAD bad. oh this is CATASTROPHIC, drop-whatever-you're-doing-and-patch-NOW levels of bad cert.europa.eu/publications...

For those not into computers, this PHP security incident is likely to be massive, probably the single biggest exploit in computing history, if the rumours going around are any indication.

[imsim audio log voice] You nincompoops keep forgetting the key code to the storage room, so I’ve changed it to something you can’t forget: 4. That‘s right... 4! If you run out of ammo during tomorrow’s training exercise, you only have yourselves to blame! 4, got it??

Slowly working on a small Deus Ex side project in addition to the mod itself, and finding some interesting new stuff. Turns out that there are a few things on TCRF that are extremely misleading.

Not for nothing, but one of the private keys was literally just the number 4.

When requesting art of a character like Wolfygirl, you might want to reconsider someone that frequently breaks the fourth wall, because they might "invite" you to join. Alternatively, this is going exactly as you planned, isn't it? 🎨: @xxxx52.bsky.social #originalcharacter #oc #tfsky

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

One slightly annoying thing about old Unreal Engine versions is that it seems you can't make things "shiny" in a way that matters.

Brooke: a girl that, upon discovering that magic was real and that she can use it to a minor extent, immediately learned enough about it to turn herself into a transparent hot pink rubberdoll from the neck down with the help of her new friends. 🎨: @xinaelle.bsky.social #originalcharacter #oc

At this point the only tolerable part of my extended family during Thanksgiving is the fluffy white Pomeranian one of them brings over.

How has it been 26 years and there's still no decent "vanilla plus" mods for Deus Ex, like an unofficial community patch of sorts? I wanted to use one as a base for my own mod, but a bunch of them add their own features. The closest would be the Purist mod, but that's about 80% of the way there.
