Nope. The models have stayed the same from X&Y to Sword and Shield. Only in Scarlet and Violet have they been given an upgrade.

Not a silly question! The answer is technically yes, but not really.

Considering there are still sites that store plaintext passwords, there has to be some that just hash it and call it a day. For those, once you crack the hash, you know everyone with the same hash has the same password. Any real site does some more complex stuff to "personalise" each hashed password.

The real issue is when you reuse the password and it gets cracked once, people will try that with your email for other leaks and live sites. If a lot of people use the same password (like "password123"), they're likely to try it as one of the first guesses to crack any new leaks.

I'm oversimplifying my already oversimplified knowledge of basic cryptography, but it's a really interesting topic!

Is it confidence among buyers, or confidence among sellers? Don't try and make it sound like we're happy to be paying tens of thousands more!

Man I love Sun Haven! I definitely feel more involved in tending to my crops by using magic than setting up a sprinkler system. Co-op made for a really cute time.

Part of me wished the story was a little bit more than just an excuse to get you new farms but wouldn't want to ruin the tone haha.

HOLY SHIT you have no idea how long I have been trying to remember this game. A cousin showed it to me when I was young and I loved it. Next time I saw him he'd forgotten, and I never could find it when I finally got a PC!

I can't believe it's been under my nose this whole time (Paladins fan) and it makes complete sense. Thank you for unlocking a core memory 🙏

Game mechanics can be patented. It's stupid, but things such as "loading screen mini games" and "overhead arrows pointing to your objective" have been patented. The second I believe even got enforced once.

I think these kind of things have been getting approved less and less, but I wouldn't be surprised if "balls that contain monsters" was patented back in the early days too.

I don't imagine the average user has a bunch of enderpearls suspended around their world.

The real performance changes we should be keeping an eye on are the redstone ones. We'll see how good those end up being and how many contraptions they break.

I get that they wanted in on the Pokémon Go and Genshin Impact money printers, but anyone could have seen how much damage to their reputation it was going to cause.

Too little too late. Personally I've moved to Godot and am loving it. Have I mentioned that they have stellar documentation yet?

People whose views align with nutjobs think that everyone else is being dramatic.

"Bold" is certainly one way of putting it.

It's not exactly fair to pretend like this is a good risk to take. If you take a beloved IP you better make something that the people who love it would like. From the trailer I don't think they even knew who their audience is. From the humour to visuals this was not made for the people who love Minecraft.

Don't forget about moderation. It's all fun and games until someone starts posting hate speech, copyrighted material, porn (legal or otherwise) or worse...

It's been over £10 everywhere I've been for many years. Just can't justify it anymore, especially when they skimp out on the chips ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
