The amount of insanity I had to go through to remove Iron Fist from my continue watching even though I finished it is insane.

In case you the user need to do this you have to do the following [you need to be on the computer]:
Go to account
Click on Viewing Activity
Now one episode at a time click hide from viewing history for every time you watched the show.
It will now be like you never watched it and it is out of continue watching. Hooray.

This is shaping up to be pretty amazing, I love how the economy is setup so that each villager profession is also dependent on others with guards/butchers needing blacksmiths which need ranchers for the animals and in turn farmers for crops and that the player is completely unable to mess with that using their own items, should make for some very interesting village setups and decision on how it grows. I’m looking forward to this wayyy more than whatever villager updates are coming in 1.14.

Nice I’m gonna have to watch this, Seems similar to the Nintendo Switch hack as theres a flaw in the Nvida Tenga SoC that can give you full access to the system but will be interesting to see how this differs, Nintendo hasn’t had luck in ever securing there devices XD

They are REALLY good as designing good secure models but just completely shit the bed when it comes to implementing it in code XD.

Chapter 9 is going well. Much of this chapter is laying ground work for things that happen in 10. Not sure how long 9 will be but it will be as long as it needs to be.

From watching the video I now see what you mean by Nintendo having a really good secure model but bad execution, having the ARM9 as security processor and brokering hardware and nand writes between the ARM11 core which runs everything else sounds like a pretty robust model but it all fell apart, Is genius though how they got code execution on the ARM9 with just being able to send a malformed ROM from FCRAM of the fully complromised ARM11 and that Nintendo doesn’t sign DS ROMs so could pretty much do what they wanted at this point XD

I’m running it right now and seems to be doing pretty good on my hardware at least on native Windows, haven’t tried it on wine yet but may test that soon.


Tried the game on wine and sadly unable to get it to even run and apparently the GOG version of the game is by far the worse and least stable to run under wine, will keep trying though and see if I can get it playable.

Good question… I’m installing it on GOG at the moment. I’ll test it and let you know what I get.

Alan Wake: Special Note to get to the DLC after you finish the game you click on episodes.

About to test the performance now.

Performance is solid on Windows. I can’t speak to frames per second but no stuttering. No lag.

Some notes:
I had to exclude AW and AWAN from Bitdefender to get them to run otherwise they would crash.
You can turn of the HUD if you want to make the game harder. You have to beat it on normal to unlock nightmare.
The game has commentary you can listen to as you play through the game. I recommend doing this after you play it through once.

Advice for playing:
You do not have to focus the flashlight to burn away the shadow - This advance level tactic is necessary to get through nightmare mode difficultly.
You can generally always run away.
Don’t be afraid to explore
Get the coffee mugs
Get the pages
Watch all the tvs
Take your time with the game.

Neat thing coming to Twitch:

Squad Stream: Up to four creators will be able to stream together in a single view that viewers discover when they visit any one of their channels. Viewers can watch on desktop and mobile as well as easily follow and subscribe to all channels. Chat is linked to whichever channel a viewer selects as their main view, so they can hang out with their friends or jump over to another community with just a click or a tap. Select streamers will be testing out Squad Stream later this year.

Yeah this will be interesting to see how people use this. You need the right people to pull this off though.

Thats actually a pretty cool feature, a lot of streamers play games together and this would be great to watch all perspectives at once and sync them all up which has always been a pain with multiple windows up, I wonder if Twitch has plans to expand this to allow multiple cameras from a single stream so you could do this locally if you wanted and were together in a single building, TeamPGP used todo this on YouTube and it was great being able to select a single camera view or split four view.
