I’ve always had a good experience with whatbox.ca

Definitely blue and black, you might be overdue for an eye exam.

How else are you gonna brew coffee?

Woe is the day that I decide to take computer advice from a twitch streamer…

Guess I’ll just eat rocks then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have heard of an amoral Krab, however.

You might be able to see where a connection is going using the resource monitor in task manager when attempting the check

Could you not use a keygen or grab a serial from somewhere to get a “valid” key and block the app from the internet via firewall to prevent the check from calling home?

Sorry I’m not familiar with how this specific game checks validity.

Edit: Google pulled up this workaround at https://www.barik.net/posts/multiplayer-neverwinter-nights-on-local-lan/

Simply edit the file:

%windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

and add the following lines to remap the Neverwinter Nights official servers to localhost:

127.0.0.1 nwmaster.bioware.com

127.0.0.1 nwnauth.kr.infogrames.com

Users are probably reporting less too since mods are useless now after the API debacle resulted in many of the ones who gave a shit getting ousted or neutered.

I certainly stopped bothering since they fully committed to becoming a (n even bigger) cesspit.

So… chivalry?

Hot n Spicy or Teriyaki?

He’s just a pawsifist

Because the article is likely just more GenAI vomit, and an LLM doesn’t have any degree of deductive reasoning ability to begin with.

At least they were more original than the sequels.

Not a high bar, I know, but it’s something.

I’d love to do this but not even scammers will friend me on Steam 😢

My technique is to soak a papertowel in isopropyl and press it onto the sticker for a minute or so, which dissolves the adhesive enough that if you’re careful you can peel up a corner and then gently and slowly pull at roughly a 45 degree angle to get it off intact, then use said isopropyl laden towel to clean off any remaining adhesive.

Even that is a pretty optimistic outlook, it’s more like a slightly slower increase in suffering over time rather than any sort of net decrease as a reward.
