Tether Payment Support By Omniscient

Following frequent member requests to pay invoices with Tether Omniscient has integrated Plisio to the forum. The new payment option is currently live for Features with full support rolling out to all remaining invoice purchases over the next 24 hours. Through Plisio members can now check out using Tron, BSC, ETH, and SOL, along side Tether support across the TRON, BSC, ETH, and SOL networks.

/Dev/Null:Ports Game By Omniscient

After previously pulling the plug on the game due to an overwhelming number of bugs, Omniscient is considering bringing the project back from the dead. With modern AI coding tools capable of tackling the issues and getting the system fully operational in an estimated 1 to 2 days, the question comes down to if community interest justifies the effort. Is a revival worth the dev time or should it remain retired? Share your thoughts and feedback in the original thread.

Tesla unveiled its next-generation Roadster

Tesla unveiled its next generation roadster this week with rocket style thrusters similar to ones used by spaceX. The demonstration showed the Roadster using high pressure gas thrusters to launch, flip in mid-air and land. This is a real engineering demonstration, but it doesn't establish that the vehicle is ready for ordinary flying-car use.

This weeks Movie Of The Week:
Buddy 2026

Trailer:

This movie was submitted on our Submision thread [HF News] Movie Of The Week Submissions

This week's submission is thanks to Charlie Sheen

This week's movie of the week of the week might not be for everyone as it has a trait to be a little scary, but as it's the spooky time of year, we saw this being posted and knew we had to share it this week.

The movie is based on a little girl who is with her friends, but they are trapped inside a kids TV show and must find a way to escape. It itself was rated a strong seven out of ten by Charlie for it being an original concept compared to some of the newer releases we have seen this year. You can also check out what others think about it in Charlie's thread. Buddy 2026 Let us know if you are thinking of checking this one out or if you think it might be a little bit to scary for you in the replies below.
