ScummVM ☛ Lets Do the Time Warp Again, Or Burger Chow Awaits
A poor test subject is doomed to repeat an hour over and over again. Trying desperately to prove his species worth as something better than merely meat to be ground into intergalactic fast food burgers.
The ScummVM Team is pleased to announce full support for Orion Burger, the classic game by Sanctuary Woods. The engine also adds a few niceties that the original didn't have, such as mouse wheel handling, and using the spacebar to skip walk animations - something the original didn't do properly.

Data Breaches ☛ Ransomware attack targets global Lutheran group

They do not claim how much they may have sold already and there is no way for DataBreaches to know whether they even sold any at all or if that is just a bluff to pressure the victims to pay. But as YLE reports, they did post a lot of screenshots of personal information files as proof of claims.
