    (Video) Person stabbed after two cut line for Pokémon cards in Bay Area: PD
  • I've got a GameStop subscription which gives you a $5 a month coupon. I would almost always use it to pick up Pokemon cards. I haven't been able to find any cards for a number of months now and decided to ask an employee about it.

    Apparently the cards are no longer being sent out in the volumes that they used to. Instead of getting weekly shipments, they might get a monthly shipment (not as many boxes) and it's a little random.

    He mentioned that people would somehow find out that a shipment was on its way and wait overnight just to be able to buy them up in the morning.

    Some employees are even being stalked just so that they can figure out when these shipments are coming.

  • What organizations/causes/people/whatever are most worthwhile to donate to?
  • If you're in the U.S., the Institute for Justice does a ton of good work. They're a nonprofit that picks up cases to help out those who can't afford to do so. They've gotten a lot of cases all the way to the supreme court.

    They're committed to challenging things like qualified immunity, or civil asset forfeiture. Things that really need to be taken on given what we see happening today.

    Create an account just for voting.

  • On Windows you can open up a WSL shell or PowerShell session directly to the folder path you want.

    Hold 'Shift' then right click anywhere inside of a directory and you will get an option to "Open PowerShell window here" as well as to "Open Linux shell here".

    Definitely a better idea to join a watch party then and watch someone else stream it live.

  • Is it making those requests per user, or making them once and then sharing the results with all users?

    Just hopped in to check and it looks like we're effectively DDoSing the Petition site by refreshing.

    You can either join the watch party on the official discord, or use some other tracker website to see the numbers get updated to help alleviate the traffic so that more people can sign.

    New Referral Program is Live
  • Well, we are getting some corpo paints for the upcoming cargo event missions.

    But it's for the Hurston Dynamics/MicroTech/ArcCorp/Crusader stuff.

    Earning a skin by working for Big Benny's/Whammers, etc. would have been awesome.

  • Another awesome update to the system:

    What if my friend forgot to use my referral code when creating their account?

    We’ve added a 24-hour grace period after account creation—if they forget, they’ll now have a full day to add your code retroactively.

    Introducing the New Referral Program - Roberts Space Industries | Follow the development of Star Citizen and Squadron 42

    I think they definitely handled this upgrade the right way. Many players were concerned about losing all of their previous progress with the previous system, but making it so referrals count towards both rewards is awesome:

    > What happens to my current referral progress? > > If you've referred at least one player who has purchased a game package before July 2, you'll retain access to what we're now calling the Legacy Ladder. You'll be able to view it via your Account Settings, and going forward, new referrals will count toward both the Legacy and new ladders—meaning you can earn rewards on both tracks at the same time.

    Jojo does a deep dive on the Wikelo rewards (clicking through the new missions and checking out the new items required).

    NPC security should be back (higher crimestat attracts more of a security force), but Jojo wasn't able to trigger it with a crimestat in this video.

    Judge backs AI firm over use of copyrighted books
  • To anyone who is reading this comment without reading through the article. This ruling doesn't mean that it's okay to pirate for building a model. Anthropic will still need to go through trial for that:

    But he rejected Anthropic's request to dismiss the case, ruling the firm would have to stand trial over its use of pirated copies to build its library of material.

  • Yeah that's not very typical, I'd like to make that point.

  • Sony PlayStation finally gets rid of PC game region locks after an entire year — but some still remain
  • Out of the 133 countries where Helldivers 2 was previously locked out of, now there are only 7:

    1. Belarus
    2. Cuba
    3. Iran
    4. North Korea
    5. Russian Federation
    6. Syria
    7. Viet Nam

    https://steamdb.info/sub/906471/

    Update: now there are 8... Japan was added to the list: https://steamdb.info/sub/137730/info/

    However it looks like Japan has its own individual game package so players aren't actually locked out over there.

  • Behind the Ships: Esperia Prowler Utility

    • External tractor beam (S2 remote).
    • Wing "feathers" fold in on landing to make cargo easier to access from more angles.

    Morphologis - Big Combat Ships in Star Citizen are Bad

    Duration: 13:34 Morphologis discusses some of the issues with big ships vs small fighters.

    It's too easy for fighters to take out larger ships.

    Personally I think that if turret gunners were given some sort of flak weapon, it would be a good way to handle this situation.
