I don’t understand it, but going through various githubs, the problem has been discovered. Here it is:

YouTube changed their code to make it more difficult to extract the throttling parameter decryption function.

There was some coding demonstrating the problem but it was way over my head. Hopefully fixes are coming soon as the issue was marked as urgent. It looks like they know what needs changing.

I’m currently playing through Rage and really enjoying it.

The races are fine and not that hard to win and I haven’t touched a card game yet. I get enough money from selling all the junk I find as I play.

I’m regards to it’s sequel, I’m very methodical (blame my autism 😁) and I played the game by competing all missions and side quests in one area before starting the next.

This side effect of this was that I upgraded the character so much, when I competed the final mission, it was so easy, I didn’t realise it was the final mission and it took me by surprise!

Back in the early 90s, here in the UK, a company called Cheetah produced licensed joysticks based on Batman, Terminator, Alien³ and The Simpsons. They looked great but they were terrible to use, especially the Alien³ model which I really liked but was incredibly uncomfortable. I never bought one, just tried then on the shops, awful things.

Back in the day, I bought the official Xbox360 steering wheel. It made me laugh because it was called wireless. It was only wireless between itself and the Xbox. It still needed a power brick to drive the motor and another wire to connect it to the pedals.

When I sold it, I almost made my money back because it was in high demand. MS had replaced it with that awful U shaped steering wheel that you held in the air like a Wii controller. It used sensors to tell when it was tilted. I never used one but the reviews weren’t favourable as I remember.

I was being a bit tongue in cheek. GAME took over EB in the UK. I don’t think they’re any dedicated gaming shops anymore, just independents.

Then basically there’s no point in this shop existing anymore. They’re basically toy stores now.

I occasionally look in Game but can’t remember the last time I actually bought anything. It would’ve been a pre-owned title anyway.

Is Electronics Boutique still going? 😁

Another great video from Neil. I will visit the museum one day. That is a beautiful looking machine, especially the keyboard. I was very surprised to find out it was only a 286.

That’s exactly what the Amstrad version was that was released in the UK. A 386 PC with a MegaDrive on an extension card.

I’ll never forget that moment in the game when it felt like you were bending and stretching a spring.

If you goto Open Fodder, you can download an open source port of Cannon Fodder. It contains all the demo and special versions that were released. If you want to play Cannon Fodder the full game, you need to supply the PC or Amiga data files.

Great game, although I had to be content with the Atari ST version. I also remember a special edition for an Amiga cover disc which featured the Cannon Fodder guys invading a sensible soccer pitch.

I was thinking way too far back! 😆

An Indiana Jones game was announced and partly developed for the Xbox 360 and PS3 but it was canned. Only a Wii and PS2 version was published.

Corrected. 👍

Thank you, I’ll give that a go.

I don’t think they have their open official app but they offer their API free to developers I think.

I’m on Android and I’ve been through several TMDB apps but I don’t really like any of them. I do know that Letterboxd use their API as well but that’s a more social based thing.

Same program, the developer changed the name. 😊

If you like NewPipe but want your videos to skip the annoying bits, there’s a fork called Tubular that incorporates SponsorBlock.

Having used PowerAmp since Android 1.5, I switched to Musicolet last year and it does the job just as well. It’s not open source but it proudly claims that it has no network permissions, so it cannot send any data anywhere.

Even though I paid for Nova years ago, I went back and downloaded a modded version of 7.0.58, the last version before they were bought out and the code was changed.

I really wanted to like Lawnchair but I always end up back with Nova. It does exactly what I want it to.
