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.

Considering other patent laws in Japan, I definitely agree with you.

Especially when companies like Nintendo are somehow able to patent video game mechanics for something as ridiculous as riding on a flying creature.

 

MrKraken created some one page guides/maps for the Stormbreaker event. They have also been provided in multiple languages: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/community-hub/post/storm-breaker-one-page-guide-XTU7HaiJkZyFs

And a video guide for anyone who prefers that: https://youtu.be/OOhGdMh_DyA

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.

From the Grayjay FAQ:

Does Grayjay require a subscription?

No, We offer a way to pay for the app once. The app will function identically without paying.

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

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

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.

Edit: formatting

Announcement from the Institute for Justice, which took up this case:
https://ij.org/press-release/u-s-supreme-court-sides-with-atlanta-family-in-wrong-house-raid-case/

A deeper dive on the case here:
https://ij.org/case/martin-v-united-states/

Body camera footage is also included lower on the page under the "Video" section.

Definitely a great nonprofit firm that does a lot of good work bringing cases before the Supreme Court. Especially for those that can't afford to do so.

Did I miss an announcement somewhere? Are they actually getting rid of NAV mode?

Last I heard they were making a few changes to it, but not in the way of removing it.

Yeah, they showed off a video in the past where they want us to be able to attach vehicles and pretty much any item to ship cargo grids as well. It's only partially implemented for now.

But even when they get that fully working, it looks like you would only be able to fit some hoverbikes on this ship.

I would assume that looted ship weapons should attach as long as they're small enough. That does seem to work for most weapons on most cargo ship grids right now.

 

A 4 minute video from CIG about this new ship and some of the features:

  • Ship hull opens up and exposes cargo grid to the exterior.
  • External tractor beam (S2 remote).
  • Wing "feathers" fold in on landing to make cargo easier to access from more angles.

Has it been? I just got the email from Steam a few hours ago that it's Live now. They must be really late to notify everyone in that case.

Looking through the community it looks like they had originally planned to release the demo today, but ended up releasing it early on June 5th, and the game will only be available to play until the 16th.

Edit: typo

That's the one, looks like they switched names about a year ago?

I've been interested in trying this game out ever since they posted some early gameplay footage over a year ago. Looks kind of like a mix between Star Citizen (in and out of ship gameplay), Helldivers (4 player co-op/PvE missions), and Sea of Thieves.

GrayJay if you're on Android. Go to download, then select None for Video, and choose the audio quality at the bottom that you want.

There's a desktop application for GrayJay as well that should also support downloading it.

I really hope that this lawsuit helps to invalidate any sort of terms of service which uses this language and forces you to agree to their terms simply by loading up their site for the first time.

 

Flexcreator gives some tips on how to avoid bugs that plague Ace Helmet Farming right now. Ace helmets are used to trade with Wikelo.

TL/DW: Just park a distance away and use a hoverbike to take out the Ace Pilot.

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.
