  That’ll be a new premium business feature where if you pay enough it’ll ignore users requests to take the mask off.

  There’s been a few over the years but the 2004 one was directed by Jonathan Hensleigh and that was the one with Thomas Jane and John Travolta. Then in 2008 warzone came out directed by Lexi Alexander with Ray Stevenson and it just didn’t didn’t feel right.

  Adi does a great job telling a story and his gritty style is perfect for the punisher, I think it would have made the 2004 one tame 😂

  When this came out sometime around Dredd being released I really wanted to see Adi make a punisher movie with Jane, it would have been amazing with those two working together.

  I don’t own the game nor gave I played it, but a friend was telling me the game has a lot of interactions in the world so perhaps they meant you can actually turn off the alarm in-game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please stop blocking VPNs for established accounts⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When people are blocked for using a VPN it’s usually because that IP was used in an attack at some point and added to a blacklist and since no one really owns it its never been contested, or its been used in multiple attacks and considered permanently added. Since a VPN provider’s entire purpose is to hide what you’re doing it’s difficult for a provider to keep its users from abusing that IP.

  So while it’s possible to get a list of IP’s that are owned by VPN providers and proactively block them it’s generally only intended to block IP’s known to be abusive.

  Lemmy instances are just blocking IP’s used in abuse, Reddit is actively trying to prevent robotic scrapers to keep their data more valuable to sell to AI companies so they are only interested in blocking VPN’s they suspect are trying to scrape data and not a logged in user who happens to be using a VPN because if they know the user and are using a VPN and start scraping they can just ban the user.

  Tl;Dr its about intent; Lemmy is preventing abuse vs. Reddit is protecting the value of its data for sales.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam :: Introducing Steam Families⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Currently each steam account is given a unique steam id number which is how most steam games identify the player and when you family share you are just associating that new steamid with your steamid so you can share certain purchases with if the developer allows it. Since each account is unique if I ban one it doesn’t ban the other. In the past you could use the steam public web API to query a steamid to see if it was a family shared and it would respond with the parent account and you could compare that to your ban list and then ban the new account. A few years ago steam removed that capability for privacy protection and moved it to the game developers partner only access so a game developer could implement that same check but very few did and older or abandoned games are rife with cheaters now.

  Now it would steam they are automagically making that check now or instead of a steam id it’s a family id, I have no idea but if it prevents account whack-a-mole and brings back automation I’m all for it.

  That’s because you assume it means financial reward but the real reward is the privilege to serve the company, what a bonus!

  Woah now, let’s not let anyone sell it so cheap when wraps is plural. We might make a profit yet.

  Games getting their release dates pushed back should be applauded not criticized.
