Imagine if your departure airport takes your ID but the return airport doesn’t. Whoops!
Airports are now accepting verified IDs shown on an iPhone in place of physical driver’s licenses and passports.

It’s been a few months and I have a new update on SS1 disk reading. We ended up improving disk reading to be on par with loading from an SD in almost all CD-cores.
All CD cores except PS1 = indistinguishable from SD.
PS1 = edge cases where a game can be <1% slower.

Doing some testing of SS1 reading PS1 data directly from a disk without dumping the data first. It’s much better than I expected.
That being said, copying games to the SD or SSD is still the optimal strategy for performance. It’s a one-time process and better for random access.

I’m legit concerned they’re going to release smallpox either in an attempt to disprove germ theory, or due to stupidity.
The Trump admin is in the midst of laying off 1,100-1,200 HHS staff. The CDC's outbreak responders, gone. The office producing CDC's weekly journal MMWR is gone. CDC staff securing sensitive data, gone. Worker safety, gone. Immunization group, gone.
Instead, Congress watches RFK "make the proof"

The debate over the rights of citizens vs. non-citizens entirely misses the point when you look at the actual text of the Constitution and its later amendments. The Founding Fathers already answered this question, and did so in a way that should have spared us all of this wrangling and argument.

The only excuse to not be playing Silksong is that you’re currently playing Hollow Knight.

Just saw Nobody 2. Fun movie, but when they broke a pinball playfield glass, it looked like plate glass. In reality, you probably wouldn't be able to smash a guy's head through the tempered glass on a pinball machine, and if you did, it'd shatter into thousands of pieces, instead of sharp chunks.
