You don’t change leadership just for nothing else to change. “Nothing will change” is the biggest lie there is in any leadership change or corporate restructuring. They only say that in the hope that you won’t jump ship immediately.

Dwarf Fortress is not free open source software! It’s a great game and runs natively on Linux. You can download it at no cost. But it’s not open source.

I wonder if the EU can throw the book at them. Technically the port on the switch is not USB-C but a proprietary port with the same physical connector. But EU mandates USB-C especially so people can use chargers and things they already have. So I wonder if Switch 2 violates EU regulations.

“Hardspace: Shipbreaker” is now on sale at steam. So far it feels like a mix between relaxing work like “Power Wash Simulator” and the story beats of “Papers, please!”. It’s been pretty fun so far!

It doesn’t help that the One S is an underpowered cheapo console, but that MS demands that all Xbox games must run on the One S with a pretty high FPS. You had major developers delaying or cancelling their Xbox release because they couldn’t get it to work on the One S.

Yes, Origins is by far my favourite of the series

It’s a beautiful game, but I really, really hate how you have to backtrack and kill your ghost after every death.

I’ve been playing Foundry on a shared world with a friend. It pretty fun! Our factory is a giant spaghetti mess that barely works though.

I’ve also been playing Elite Dangerous. I bought a cheap second hand X52 hotas and I set up head tracking using my webcam and OpenTrack. It’s a fun way to fly!

Days Gone is well designed and balanced. The map isn’t overly large. If you just follow the quests you pretty much go everywhere anyway. I highly recommend you just give it a go. It’s a great game!

I loved Obra Dinn. If you like that you will probably also like “Case of the Golden Idol” and it’s successor.

You can do that since 2015 when the Imperial City was added to The Elder Scrolls Online

Me and my friends really liked Valheim, Deep Rock Galactic and Sea of Thieves

Applications like Teams still don’t work on Firefox because they rely on the buggy pre-standard implementation of WebRTC in Chrome, while Firefox follows the web standards.

I really hope that after all the tech issues with Starfield, and the experience gained with porting Oblivion to UE5, that they finally ditch Creation Engine for ES6 and just go with UE5

I always find it interesting to see the percentages drop on Steam achievements when you progress through a game. The drop-off curve is very different from game to game. I always wonder about the people who drop off just before finishing the game.

I plan to do the same with my kid as my parents did: PC in the living room. That way I can at least keep an eye on what they are doing. I haven’t figured out what to do about smart phones yet, but I got at least 8 years before that becomes an issue.

Online dating and 4chan are both not suitable for children

I just started playing “Dave the Diver”. It’s been a lot of fun so far. There are a lot of systems to play with, and you keep unlocking more. I just unlocked the fish farm.

Didn’t you hear? Digg is coming back, now with AI!

I fondly remember when my parents bought a new house that had yet to be built. I took all the drawings and made a Doom map so I could show my parents what their house would look like.
