@TheSunnyOne I would strongly recommend against installing Cheat Engine using that installer. the last time I tried (which was admittedly years ago) it ended up giving me so much malware that I had to wipe my drive and reinstall Windows from scratch

at the time I was able to find a clean installer hidden on some obscure corner of their website, but I don’t remember exactly where/how I found it, I’m not sure if it still exists, and I’m not sure if I would trust it anyway

an alternative that I’ve used is called ArtMoney which is missing all of the advanced features of Cheat Engine and is slightly more annoying to use, but it’s functional enough for basic memory-scanning

Don't suppose anybody has a clean install file for Cheat Engine?

The file from the official site gets flagged by Windows Defender because it's packed with bloatware (and if you follow the link on the site to documentation of this issue, it leads to a forum thread from 2006 where one of the devs uses the R word to describe people that have any issues with this...)

I've had to uninstall and delete my WeMod/Wand account because of their decision to add unecessary features, AI, etc, to drive people toward an exorbitant paid sub, but I'd still like to have some kind of alternative to make games more accessible.

If not Cheat Engine, then maybe some recs for an alternative?

Ok, fellow hackers, I propose a pact: That new EU age verification app thingy ... do NOT help improve it.

Don't publish findings. Don't responsibly disclose insecurities. Don't facilitate them making it bulletproof.

If personal data is directly at risk, by all means, slam their asses into the ground. GDPR them into oblivion.

But on its core functionality this needs to be, to become, and to stay, the most insecure, the most easily circumventable piece of shit code on the planet.

oof so as far as I can tell Racket has no way to get a field from an object based on a variable. like in Python you can do this:

class SomeClass:
    def __init__(self):
        self.foo = 666

obj = SomeClass()
field_name = "foo"
getattr(obj, field_name) # -> 666

but as far as I can tell #Racket literally will not let you do that T_T the field name basically has to be known at compile time or it won’t work. that is actually terrible because I’m trying to make a (get) form that is able to drill down into data structures given a list of keys:

(get some-data '(2 4 hash-key obj-field))

but I think it’s literally impossible for me to make it work with objects

i never thought about it this way but a kilocalorie is the same as a watt hour more or less... a 15a wall socket maxes out at around 3 cheeseburgers per hour. eating an apple is like eating 40 AA batteries. walking a mile burns through the equivalent of a fully charged gaming laptop battery

It's okay to not give a fuck about anything when you're recovering from burnout twin 💛

It's interesting cause if you look into the most popular watch styles worn by obscenely rich people in suits you'll find that a lot of them were initially intended for working professionals. Pilot and railway watches with chronographs and tachymeters, diver watches with readable indexes and rotating bezels, military watches with light, fabric straps and readable numerals..

Funny how regular, working class things can suddenly become the peak of luxury as soon as the rich catch on. Like caviar and lobsters!

Edit: correction. Railroad watches didn't typically have chronographs, they were just met railroad accuracy standards. Watches with chronographs and tachymeters were primarily used by pilots and also for racing/sports where stopwatches and speed measurements came in handy.

BETA DECAY

this looks unfathomably peak wtf

beta decay is a dark, dystopian RPG where you can build spaceships, join factions, and fight for territory in a newly discovered star system. Become an engineer repairing starships, a mech pilot commanding war machines, to a syndicate leader, executing raids deep within a labyrinthic neon city.

those are some huge ambitions but what’s already there looks like a game I’d love to play as-is

@smeikx I’m trying my best lol but it’s so hard to find info about how to configure anything - especially when the API keeps changing. like I can’t even get treesitter to work anymore, and if I update to 0.12 it breaks some of my plugins and I can’t figure out which ones

(to be honest though, I probably shouldn’t have been using treesitter in the first place because it’s still experimental)

@konstruct this is such a mood, fuck

Sorry to those I disappoint it will happen again yes I am trying my best no it can't be solved with more effort
