#Microsoft is making it so that #Windows10 users with paused Windows Updates get shown the "Activate Windows" watermark.
Updating will remove the watermark.Oh and on top of this, after you update, you can only pause windows update for a maximum of one month instead of three.
I am so sick of companies of all shapes and sizes ruling our lives. This is MY COMPUTER.
This is the same exact bullshit that's the problem in #GamesPreservation

And if you read this and go, "This is amazing! What can I do to help!" Well now is your chance. Dark Sun: Crimson Sands work is being organized and managed on a Dark Sun Discord which you can find here https://discord.com/invite/mcFR9aHW
Again, it is in its early stages, but we are now reaching out to folks to help in the process and trying to scour the internet for any bits of data we can use.

Youtube channel, SandsAroundTyr popped up out of NOWHERE with the early stages of their work reverse engineering the servers for Dark Sun Online. It's still insanely early, but this is the most footage we have EVER SEEN of this game and already shows exponential progress. They have been very outspoken online as well about it and I want to further encourage this excitement.

It's early this morning, but I want this to be a nice cup of coffee for you digital archivists! I've talked a lot about Dark Sun: Crimson Sands, the Dark Sun MMO by SSI from1996. Just this year, I had come to terms with the idea that I will most likely never see this game in my lifetime. We had zero game footage and only roughly a dozen screenshots...UNTIL NOW! https://youtu.be/lJ_pQOecahs?si=boscKwhla-GBNRCy

Look at this... look at THIS!! This is someone running the introduction segment of the defunct MMORPG, Dark Sun: Crimson Sands. This is a game that I had just resigned to never ever see running ever again. It is far from playable, but a single individual popped up a little over a week ago with something truly amazing. We are one step closer to playing it. https://youtu.be/GFaeTP0maOQ?si=g74ld7ZCtnQI5a2d

Being involved with the Michigan game dev scene means that I’m aware of plenty of smaller games that may not be at the top of every games preservation list. One of these is When Oranges Attack. When Oranges Attack was a game developed by PixoFactor (now known as Pixo VR) and playable on Facebook to promote Minute Maid orange juice. Players created Rube Goldberg-style contraptions, similar to The Incredible Machine series, to help oranges tip over Minute Maid orange juice so actor Ty Burrell cannot drink it. FMV of the actor would play while you were trying to solve puzzles and whenever you completed one successfully. There were five levels, each with a different theme. Between levels there was an orange juice themed clone of the game Pipe Dream. Players could also enter a UPC code from Minute Maid orange juice to unlock a bonus 6th level.
The game was only online for a short period of time before being taken down and no one has dumped the game so it can be preserved. My understanding is that the code for the game was hosted on Minute Maid servers so I couldn’t just ask someone from Pixo to anonymously dump the game to the Internet Archive. That said, if you do happen to have access to the game, could you uhhhhhhh dump the game to the Internet Archive?
There’s not much proof the game even exists online except for a couple of websites that mention it along with a handful of screenshots. This first website is a blog that had a paid post to advertise the game and features a few screenshots and a description of the game.
There is also this website from someone who has worked in various advertising campaigns that also has a handful of screenshots.
Once again, if you have any additional knowledge about this game or if the game mysteriously ends up online, let me know!

It took some doing, but I finally got the rarest #Nuon, and the last #undumped Nuon game along with it. Here's my unboxing video for the DVD-N591, complete with a copy of #CrayonShinChan 3!

Hello, fediverse. Can anyone on the #GamesPreservation ouvre chip in money to complete the #ROM set for a super obscure console? The last 3 #undumped carts showed up on eBay all at once and the money I'm personally going to throw at them probably won't be enough. Please reshare if you know some #RetroGamers!
