Of course this is no level playing field, your fight is different, unfair, unbalanced. Still, you must Fight tooth and nail for your place in the world.

Don’t waste your strength mourning what you can’t control. learn everything you can from everyone regardless of their background. Above all, refuse to be a victim of your own story.

The cheats in gta3 (and Vice and SA) on pc were activated by typing a sequence of characters. Ie:

ILOVESCOTLAND to make it rain or
GUNSGUNSGUNS to give the player loads of weapons.

The straightforward way for the code to detect cheats would be to compare the string "ILOVESCOTLAND" with the string of recent keypresses.

The problem with this approach is that cheats would be in memory as readable text. Any hacker could easily find the cheats and they would all be discovered on the day of release.

This is why I used 'hash codes' to store the cheats. A hash code is a single number that is calculated from a string.

A simple (example) hash algorithm could add up the ASCII values of each character of the string.

The hash code for ILOVESCOTLAND would be 983.
For GUNSGUNSGUNS it would be 951.

The game would compare these hash codes with the hash code for the recent keyboard input.

It worked. The cheats were not hacked. (They were eventually discovered by gamers trying random input)

The bad news is that completely different strings can result in the same hash code.

This is why gamers found random strings (ie HDLMAAXOPK) instead of the string I had set up (ILOVESCOTLAND)

This also meant the cheats triggered more often than I anticipated. This caused cheats to happen unintentionally, sometimes during speed runs.
These speed runs had to be aborted as the rules are clear. No cheats.

(The armor cheat was changed in an early patch from TURTOISE to TORTOISE. I had initially misspelled it)

As if it wasn’t clear already VW illustrates the giant, ticking time-bomb at the heart of Europe’s economic model.

The European economy is based on two things, industrial production and selling the past.

Kinda insane how badly YouTube missed the boat on music streaming by refusing to make something that would play on phones with the screen turned off for 10+ years, and now Spotify has like 90% of that market

A saying from a coach that's always stuck with me:

“The best players I've seen don’t care as much when they compete”

WTF?

[MugenLord @MugenLord]

Bro, that's what I am saying! Today, all you have to do is go on Discord or Social media and join a community. You bypass the entire process of getting to know random strangers from a game lobby or session. So, most gamers today play mostly with people they know through those platforms. They have a controlled environment that lowers the probabilities of running into Random players talking shit to you.

Back then, we didn't have that luxury. Online gaming on consoles was a new thing and everyone had to learn how to navigate it. Bro it was so weird hearing the voice of a complete stranger when XBOX Live first launched. Mostly everyone was afraid to talk to one another at first. I made a lot of friends from all walks of life from online gaming at its beginning and I had to experience a lot of shit to get there.
