With Snoop Dogg now being in Fortnite, I've now updated my article of Snoop in video games to mention this alongside him reappearing in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III this year.

Likes, shares, and comments appreciated, as always.

The biggest delusion besides of the bigotry in the replies is a belief that someone would actually pay for a crack for LOOM in the year of our lord 2024.

reminder: the Luddites were not anti-*technology*. They were anti-*factory owners firing weavers and replacing them with lower-paid loom workers*. They could have retrained the weavers and kept their pay high, but bosses gonna boss. We are all Luddites today.

The name later became a slur because the bosses won, and used propaganda to hide the history, and because smashing looms is a dramatic symbol, and humans like retelling dramatic stories, not depressing facts.

"I don't need to remind you that this investigation is strictly unofficial!"

We are excited to announce that Rise of the Dragon is now ready for public testing.

This is the first of a small number of games built using the DGDS (Dynamix Game Development System) engine.

Rise of the Dragon is set in Los Angeles in a dark version of the future, circa 2053. It combines classic point-and-click adventure style with platforming arcade sequences, giving a unique gameplay.

@elipriaulx Nothing stopping you from picking out your own, by heading to modarchive.org/index.php?reque and picking "Chiptune" or "Demo Style"

If you tell the story of the burnt ballot boxes in Portland and Vancouver this week (an important story that warrants attention), also tell how good fire-suppressant design saved all but three ballots in the Portland box, and the efforts of the election workers who contacted those three voters and arranged for replacement ballots.

Things are scary and bad, and often literally on fire. But there are good people and good systems too. Making us forget that is always a win for the worst ones.

Be kind to your American friends this week. Being an American the week before a presidential election is a bit like being a dog during a fireworks show

@pendell In my case the problem was a wire inside the cable was loose and kept producing just the right electrical signal to be detected as a button-press. I've also seen that happen if the 3.5mm isn't plugged in tightly, but again, my experience is ages-old now (talking like iPhone 3G and Android 2.x era).

If your headphone cable is in good shape, and you're sure it's plugged in securely, only other thing I can think is make sure the 3.5mm is snug in the adapter before you plug in the USB end.

@pendell Ages ago I used to have this problem with a built-in headphone jack and one specific headset; I think it's picking up a pulse that it's interpreting as "headset button" which modern android defaults to "invoke voice assistant"
