How Was THIS the First Game I Finished on My New PC?

The author recently upgraded to a new gaming PC and completed LEGO Horizon Adventures, a family-friendly game part of Sony's 2024 initiative. The game, built on Unreal Engine 5, has faced criticism for its system requirements and performance issues, but it performed well on the author's PC, especially with Nvidia's DLSS 4. The game features high production value and effective use of lighting and environmental detail, although it condenses a longer narrative into a shorter format. It was developed by Studio Gobo and Sony, not the usual TT Games team. The author created a document to track completed games and noted that LEGO Horizon Adventures is the only entry so far. The review was self-funded, with no compensation received from developers.

Ради игр с торрентов геймеры сверлили Xbox и вставляли пинцет в Nintendo Wii. Самые необычные способы пиратства на консолях

Many methods of console piracy have emerged over time, often exploiting unintentional vulnerabilities in licensed games. For example, the PSP was easily hacked due to flaws in games like Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Medal of Honor: Heroes, which allowed users to manipulate save files to gain access to the system. A debug code in Alien: Resurrection for the PS1 enabled users to swap discs without turning off the console. Various makeshift tools have been used for hacking, such as a paperclip to exploit the Nintendo Switch and tweezers to access dormant memory sections in the Wii. The Nintendo 3DS was hacked using a magnet to trick the lid sensor, allowing access to developer mode. The Xbox 360 faced significant modding due to its firmware modification capabilities. A notable method involved drilling into the drive to bypass rewrite protection, known as the "Kamikaze Hack." While piracy methods have evolved, modern consoles have become increasingly secure, with fewer successful hacks reported in recent years. The appeal of piracy has diminished as subscription services and sales provide easier access to games.

3 reasons a Dev Drive might be the perfect addition to your Windows install

Windows 11 introduces Dev Drives, a specialized storage volume for developers that utilizes the ReFS file system and offers optimizations for performance. Dev Drives can improve performance by up to 41% in development tasks, such as cloning the NodeJS repository, and provide a 22% enhancement in build times for projects like OrchardCore with DotNet. They are compatible with Microsoft Defender in "performance mode," which reduces scanning frequency to enhance read and write speeds. Microsoft recommends using Dev Drives solely for source code repositories, project files, package caches, and build outputs, avoiding typical downloaded files or installed applications to mitigate security risks. Developers can create Dev Drives on a physical partition for better performance or on a virtual hard drive (VHD) for flexibility and portability, although transferring them to different PCs is not advised. While Dev Drives offer speed advantages, they should not be repurposed for general use, as this could expose users to security risks.
