Earliest drawing I still have is probably some of the first things I ever did (1-2) because my mother kept them. Ive honestly been drawing ever since (34 now) and i have all of them still. First digital was when I was 15 or 16 when I got a Wacom tablet (2005ish.. probably around your birth lol)

Legally, you need to be able to orifice your railcard on request.

Practically, you can log in on a different device or on a browser and take a screenshot, or add your railcard to apple wallet. It doesn’t have to be in the app.

With respect to Trainline, if you aren’t able to access the product that you paid for due to their technical fault, you could push for a refund of the remaining value, which if you bought your railcard nearly three years ago, is likely very little worth now.

As others say, if you board the train knowingly unable to produce a valid railcard for inspection then you are deliberately committing an offence and are unlikely to be able to recover the cost of fines or penalty charges.

If you want a a legal avenue to recovering your cost then this probably starts with you purchasing another railcard so you can travel (using another app or in person at the station) and then pursuing Trainline for the cost incurred. No guarantee of you getting anywhere as you would need to demonstrate that it’s their fault and not an issue with your own device.

Practically speaking you might be better off signing into the app on another device (old phone or iPad) and see if you can get the railcard working there.

If you bought your railcars 3 years ago, is it not up for renewal pretty soon anyway? Maybe best to write off the last couple of months of validity, and buy a new railcard at the station or online.

As you don't have a valid ticket until you gain access to your railcard you shouldn't be boarding the train in the first place.

Any fines would be for you to pay.

If you can log in to trainline on another device, you can access your railcard, take a screenshot and then save it to your phone so its always available.

I don't see anything on there that would require it to be a live screen within the app, it should have your photo, the expiry date and a QR code on it for inspectors to scan for validation. So bit like an airline boarding pass, a screenshot of it is just as good as the working app as the validation is done by the other side.

And stop using trainline, it's horrible, they charge you booking fees, cram ads everywhere, the app is simply bad, doesn't store crucial data like tickets offline so it's not functional without an Internet connection.

Unless you explicitly need the ability to have receipts accessible after the fact, it provides no benefit compared to rail operator applications.

GoD is Games on demand Any non indie/arcade game but basically the way it downloads on the marketplace

GOD is the preferred way to load games onto a 360, it's the way digital games and installed games are formatted on stock consoles. It's split in 4gb chunks as that is the file size limit on FAT32. Main advantage is the files are less cluttered and (possible) faster load times on mechanical drives, not that useful on an SSD.

The other option is an extracted XeX format, essentially the files off the DVD dumped to the HDD. You've been using this, it's has some advantages over GOD, like easily modding game files but has the big caveat of possible file system problems (games with files over 4gb) and slower load times on mechanical drives, though that is alleviated on an SSD.

I use GOD for Xbox 360 and extracted games for OG Xbox, as that was traditionally the way those games were ran from the HDD on a modded OG Xbox.

If you want to transfer games via pen drive, perhaps this is the only solution because of Fat32. If you go through FTP you don't need it.

It's just the preferred file format. https://consolemods.org/wiki/Xbox_360:ISO2GOD

You can also just find the games in the right format for the 360 I've got all mine that way just simple download extract and transfer to a hard drive I can send you the urls just direct msg

Thanks for the advice

I'm glad you brought up rank systems, because that's where my mind leapt immediately. I actually think arcade games in general often feel akin to carnival games, meaning they feel somehow rigged to betray the player's intuition and sucker them out of money, but rank systems strike me as a particularly glaring example of this, and the absolute antithesis to transparency. In a memorization-based game, enemy layouts and behavior will change without warning when certain uncommunicated criteria are met. Mark has said something to the effect of, "this is how arcade games protect themselves against good players," but to me it just feels like backing out of a deal. And especially unreasonable in a console game or port where there's no reason for the game to "protect" itself anyway.

I remember going to the renn faire as a kid, and there was this game called "Jacob's Ladder," where you had to get from one end of a rope ladder suspended horizontally between two trees, to the other end. It was a buck a try. The Renaissance carnies would twist the ladder a couple times before prompting you to mount it. You'd mount the ladder, they'd say "Okay, go," and let go of the ladder, which, because it had been twisted, would immediately untwist, throwing you off. They were making a buck a second! One time I watched this kid miraculously manage to stay clinging upside down to the ladder! "Holy crap," I thought, "he got 'em!" But then one of the carnies went, "Sorry, you can't do that," and disqualified him. I still have no idea what the expected path to victory was, but their contingency against the rare skilled player felt totally arbitrary, mean, and unfair. Arcade games frequently conjure memories of Jacob's Ladder for me.

I've been playing Layer Section on the Saturn fairly regularly since 2007, and am only now getting to a point where I'm good enough to keep the rank up midway through the game. This of course thwarts much of the muscle memory and strategy I've been slowly concocting since the freaking Bush administration, nullifying nearly half a lifetime of progress. I still don't know exactly how the rank system works, I just know it kicks in when I'm starting to feel like I've learned a thing or two, to remind me that I still don't know jack. I don't think I even knew there was a rank system until I'd been playing the game for a few years. I really really really don't like this feature of the genre.

It's a shame, too, because I think that one feature does a lot to undermine what otherwise is indeed a very transparent style of game. I love that shmups are so easy to approach, I just think there are some perennial symptoms of being a coin-operated genre that modern devs would do well to get rid of (and tbf some definitely have).

This used to be reffered to as "intuitive" gameplay. Maybe transparent is the new word used for it now.

I think it's something a developer should always strive for but adding complexity to a game while keeping it as intuitive as possible takes a lot of skill and knowledge from a game designer.

Otherwise you can throw a lot of complexity into a game and end up with a mess of obscure systems like "+5% critical rate on the 3rd attack during night time while standing on grass" that is actually easy to do and can make your game seem "deep" and unfortunately we're seeing a lot of in modern games.

As a game developer myself I do understand where he's going at with it. I think an important aspect with it is also the low barrier of entry. It requires extremely little setup or effort to start making a shmup. Of course, making one that is great requires good craftmanship, but there aren't really much in the sense of hidden complexity or systems needed to be able to pull it off. Shmups are so incredibly pure.

An online PvP game would be the polar opposite for me, it's simply not doable for many devs, and it requires some pretty extensive knowledge beforehand on how the machine is constructed. A lot of old school RPGs can and have been made by solo and fans of the genre, I would say for those games it could be similar to shmups in how extremely close the fan community can be to the dev side, and a truly good cult classic RPG might not need any of the fancy AAA stuff. But the difference is of course RPGs also having ton of great AAA entries.

Another example of transparent games would be score attack puzzle games or logic puzzle games I think, they are also pretty pure, and don't really require anything to design one. I mean, you can make great logic puzzles with pen and paper.

in which game you dont find qualities (or absence of) by playing ? as a philosophy phd thats what we call a non problem dont bother with those lol

I wonder why devs use their names for settings like this instead of the app name so it’s easily recognized and there’s less confusion. It just seems like bad UX.

Did you try a web search to see if anything popped up? Does Happyverse ring a bell? That came up for me in a websearch. 

You can use KnockKnock by Objective-See to find more information about any background app, login item etc.

It's totally free and a superb app.

Because it's malware

it was a Gemini mac overlay (buggy, don't install)

It does lots of things like real-time malware detection and resource monitoring. I guess that's why

Open the app back up…click on the casino tab at the bottom, and then the rewards tab next. It should show how many spins and what game is available for those spins. It did for me after opting into the Willy Wonka promo.

It should update automatically, but these constant updates are probably beta versions. If you want to be a beta tester you need to subscribe to it on the Google Play Store.

No sideloaded apps will auto update. Only apps installed from the playstore will do that. Amazon decided they don't want Stremio in their appstore. This means you have to manually update. It doesn't matter whether Amazon's version of Android TV will allow updates to Stremio or whether you'll have to uninstall then install the new version, the result will be the same.

Is anyone could teach me about stremio setup in android.

I was wondering the same for the Mac app

To lock away all my demons and bad thoughts! Only to let them loose to play on full moons and st. Patrick’s Day. 😝

It would be a library. And I'd use it as a library.
