[GIVEAWAY] Copy of Natural Selection 2 (Unlocks October 31st)


Recommended Posts

I'll add my gift copy to this giveaway. I'll use the same rules as the OP.

You now have another chance to win :)

I bought this game months ago because I loved the original. Haven't actually played it as my PC and internet connection where I live currently aren't up to the task. But I wanted to support the developers.

You know, and I am sorry this is off of topic, but it's little "perks", if you will, like these that make this site so darn awesome! There are some really nice people around here, and I think they all deserve a little recognition. They all know who they are, and there's way too many to list off of the top of my memory, but admins/staff/mods/lurkers/generally, most people on here over all.....that's what has kept me coming back to this place after all of these years. Sorry, didn't mean to go on a rant or anything, just appreciating this fine community, and all of the people that put a lot of time and hard work to make this place awesome! Most IMPORTANTLY....thanks, Neobond! (Y)

    • If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

    • Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
