Good luck, hope everything works out for you.Quote:

8k a month that sounds nice. If I get a coding job I could make some real dough, but blah, everything gets outsourced these days.
8k a month does indeed sound nice, I'm hoping I can sell well enough to make it... :wacko: You're not wrong, everything gets outsourced and it suckkkks.Quote:

Ah the joys of being fucked over. :wacko:
So you won't make 8k?
Oh neat. New Mutants is coming out Friday.
I read somewhere recently that they couldn't do anymore pickups and such because it's been so long developing that some of the actors have changed too much, or gotten older :lol
Not anymore, got let go from the company. They decided they didn't need the 18 people that were in the class and got rid of almost all of us, give or take a few who had background in construction work. So, I was one of the ones who got let go. Now I gotta search for a new job again. :wacko:Quote:

Google will be de-indexing proxies and mirrors of pirate sites for Australia before even getting a court order to do so. They have been many blocks going on for years here now, but it seems google is becoming even more proactive because federal law encourages them to do so.
I'm assuming digital sales (and possibly online physical sales) would be up everywhere over the last 6 months due to a lot of people realising shopping from home is safer in the current climate.
So all this shit is just simple greed :squint:
Bleh, when will they realize piracy will never stop. People will come up with ways. Hell just small groups of internet friends can just exchange ftps or something.
That sucks. Its hard to find a job right now with everything going on. I haven't heard of any major piracy crackdowns. You can always use duckduckgo search engine. Not sure if they de-index though. Probably safer to use Duckduckgo, regardless.Quote:

Make a partition for Windows and leave the rest for your games.Quote:

From what I understand new registrations and even invites have stopped for quite some time now :(
Myspleen? It sounds vaguely familiar. It is some other sorta of emulation site? I don't have any login or access to it.
It's a private torrent tracker.Quote:

Oh I see. Wouldn't surprise that they've stopped with invitations with everything going on right now.
They stopped invites well before this started, it has always been difficult to get a login there anyway.Quote:

There is one possible way to get hold of some stuff but it requires creating an account on originaltrilogy forums and then sending PM's to project creators one by one. Because the rules there are very strict.
If I can't come up with any alternative eventually I might just have to do that, but it's a huge task tbh. The other issue with going that way is that a lot of them use mega links for 25-50GB projects :rolleyes: The links are taken down a lot from what I've read.
But there would probably be other stuff on myspleen that isn't mentioned on originaltrilogy.
Zal have you played Baldur's Gate 1&2 enhanced on XB1?
Nope.Quote:

Surprise surprise :pwacko:
Woo! Just got my free samples in the mail from Analog Industries. These four video ICs total 60 bucks if actually paid for.
