Update #99 - Update 99 - November 6th, 2017
Features
Area/weapon/mutation seeding is now far more consistent.
There's now an option for borderless fullscreen on Windows (Alt+Shift+Enter / in options).
There's now a confirmation dialog when exiting/restarting a run; R confirms in it.
Safe spawns now work consistently.
Added a setting for native cursors - when supported, this gets rid of mouse lag once and for all.
Added a setting for mouselock (when available) - for windowed or multi-screen setups.
Both players can now play the same character in coop without making use of bugs.
Added localization support (see lang-example.ini / copy to lang.ini for translating)
Almost too many bugfixes.
Balancing
Weapons returned by Determination no longer have cooldown of last seen weapon in that slot.
Trying to pause mid-generation now pauses as soon as loading finishes.
Game now auto-pauses if connection is lost to the in-use gamepad.
Grenades no long persist on level change (since they could break generation / kill you).
Proto statues no longer keep rads from previous encounter if forgotten
Discs now have an axis-aligned bounding box and bounce *a little* more predictably. (don't get too excited - the spread is still there and you'll still hit yourself a lot)

IDPD grenades now harm IDPD (alongside everyone else) if deflected.
Mimics are no longer multiplied on loops.
Select enemies now just don't increment kill count instead of reducing it by 1.

In a particular location, other cars no longer explode when using one of them.
vElite inspectors no longer pull non-moving projectiles.
vMaggot spawns can no longer be duplicated on loops.

"Why is ok to pirate" by a random guy from the internet
I am a pirate.
More accurately, I am a copyright infringer, to give it its more legal term.
I don't think I have some moral permission or excuse to download TV shows and movies I haven't paid for, but neither do I think it's as harmful an activity as many people make it out to be.
So why do I do it? In a nutshell my desire and ability to watch TV shows and movies vastly exceeds the amount of spare money I can afford to allocate to such a pastime.
Some people would have you think that every TV show or movie I download is a lost sale, this is not true as I simply could not afford to buy it all.
So the question comes down to this, if I couldn't afford to pay for it, should I be able to watch it? Probably not from a moral and legal viewpoint but that doesn't really help the creator of the content; either way, watch it or not, they are not getting paid.
Does my viewing content illegally help the creator of the content? Possibly, if it's good content. If I watch something and find it to be surprisingly good (or even unsurprisingly good) then I tend to recommend it to people. Let's assume I recommend a TV show to 10 people and out of that 10 maybe six decide to watch it. Of that six maybe four pirate it (they are my friends after all). That still leaves two people that decide to watch it legitimately that may not have done so if I hadn't recommended it.

The producers of Game of Thrones get it, they say they don't really mind the pirates because they are fans, and they help generate buzz and hype about the show, which in turns helps drives sales of the show to new networks and new markets (I am paraphrasing a little, but it was along those lines).
While I don't think there is any sort of moral authority or right to get access to this content illegally, I do believe that for good quality content piracy is not really the problem is made out to be and may even prove beneficial to sales and success overall.
As a final thought, most copyright infringers are like myself, we enjoy the content and are fans but simply don't have the spare income to pay for it all.
With the recent explosion of online streaming services here in New Zealand (Netflix, Lightbox, Veon) this problem is likely to go away, especially as sites will compete for better deals and acquire more content, so essentially we are talking about an issue that has arisen from a older pricing model that struggled to adapt to changing consumer habits.
New services and pricing models are now starting to rise to dominance that cater for this change and, as such, the issue is likely to fade back into the background over the next few years.
