I’ve been playing Noita, it is difficult but great fun so far. I don’t think I’ve really even scratched the surface of what there is either.

There is no right to freedom of speech in the UK…

"The author omitted the complete statement from Reddit:

Hi everyone,

No, Proton did not knowingly block journalists’ email accounts. Our support for journalists and those working in the public interest has been demonstrated time and again through actions, not just words.

In this case, we were alerted by a CERT that certain accounts were being misused by hackers in violation of Proton’s Terms of Service. This led to a cluster of accounts being disabled.

Because of our zero-access architecture, we cannot see the content of accounts and therefore cannot always know when anti-abuse measures may inadvertently affect legitimate activism.

Our team has reviewed these cases individually to determine if any can be restored. We have now reinstated 2 accounts, but there are other accounts we cannot reinstate due to clear ToS violations.

Regarding Phrack’s claim on contacting our legal team 8 times: this is not true. We have only received two emails to our legal team inbox, last one on Sep 6 with a 48-hour deadline. This is unrealistic for a company the size of Proton, especially since the message was sent to our legal team inbox on a Saturday, rather than through the proper customer support channels.

The situation has unfortunately been blown out of proportion without giving us a fair chance to respond to the initial outreach."

Air VPN has port forwarding, been using them for years.

It is weirder to me that people back shit like this up. I have zero desire to keep a backup of chat and random images people have sent me.

You could be talking about either company here. I’m no fan of AI but you know this will set precedent for scummy companies like Warner Brothers to over reach into other things for “copyright reasons”.

Cheers for the info and mentioning it in general, I never thought to look for ones made of a different material before but now you’ve said it it makes a lot of sense.

I understand exactly what you mean about the grip too as my thumb is perpetually slipping off after the thumb stick rubber gets worn down a lot. Other than a general clean the thumbsticks are what I have changed the most.

Hmmm interesting, how do they feel to use?

I’ve only played Borderlands 2 in local split screen co-op.

Xbox controllers have always been the best option for me. They are well built and last for fucking ages. Easy to take apart to replace things like thumbsticks if the rubber wears off or to clean out when they get a bit older.

I currently use an Xbox one controller and it cost me under £20 second hand, I have a second one that I got as a back up purely because it was about £5. They can be had for absolute bargains second hand!

I know another replier mentioned a dongle for wireless play which I believe is for the older controller as the “one” controller has Bluetooth which syncs up with my steam deck flawlessly and has just worked with no fucking about.

If people want to waste their drastically over priced food I’ll happily finish that shit. If people want to look at me weird for both saving myself money and stopping perfectly good food from being put in the bin, that’s on them, they are the idiots from where I’m standing!

This is my main issue with it, it is so uncomfortable. It is too large, weighty and the buttons are not all comfortably placed in my opinion.

The PS Vita feels so much better in hand but then becomes a bit cramped after a few hours play so I’d really love something in between the two for me personally.

I would love an updated key2 form factor more but any physical keyboard phones are better than none to choose from.

I’m looking forward to my titan 2 from unihertz, I just hope someone makes a postmarket ROM or similar cause I can’t go back to regular android -_-

Yeh that is fair enough, there is a DODI repack anyway so I’ll probably grab that. I have been considering a 360 recently what with the new exploit that has been made available so maybe I’ll grab a cheap 360 so I can relive some of my favourite games from there too.

Oh no. EA play, fuck that shit.

I’ll have to find a repack or something -_-

Oooo space opera… I love a good space opera book so that has just piqued my interest more!

I have that feeling with some other games so can relate.

I really know nothing about it other than hearing people rave about it for the longest time. I might have to look up some info at least to see if I’d like it, literally all I know is “space RPG” xD

Maybe I’ll keep an eye out for a good price then!

Maybe I should finally play this game…
