Alan Wake 2 legit blurs the line when presenting a character; between film footage and digitizing the actor. Even the games environments blend in photographed and filmed objects. It’s a masterpiece of a game, with beautiful graphics, and a fun and bonkers story.
I should be playable from Epic Games Store via Lutris or similar. Or from sailing the high seas.
Apparently The VVitch is extremely impressive and accurate for the English dialect they speak in the movie. They pulled old court records related to Salem witch trials. Things like that give me hope for Nosferatu!
People like that CS doesn’t change. It just eventually gets visual upgrades with new engine versions. You can hop on CS, and know the exact game play you’re going to get.
Also, custom CS servers for extremely different game play are a thing.
Its a competitive game, it’s going to be free 2 play, so it’s naturally going to attract all kinds of people, including the heated, toxic, and as you put it hard-R league players. It comes with the territory of playing a competitive PvP only game. Report them, laugh at their smooth brains, mute them, and move on.
I’ve been playing quite a bit since May, and I’ve encountered way more friendly people in voice comms than not. Most matches are silent with people only using the ping system/wheel the game has baked in. About 1/2 of my losses are hit with a “gg ez” in text chat though. I respond along the lines of congrats bro, you’re better than me at a closed beta testing game with an NDA. 😂
Running cover for them though…Cmon now…thats a huge stretch…
Wtf did I just read?!
I just searched it, straight from playstations website:
https://direct.playstation.com/en-us/buy-games/god-of-war-ragnarok-pc
“Do I need a PSN account to play PlayStation games on PC?”
“No, you currently do not need a PSN account to enjoy PlayStation Studio games on PC, but you will need a Steam account to redeem your voucher code. Some of our PlayStation Studios titles also offer incentives for linking your Steam and PSN accounts.”
Edit: Their website could be outdated, or incorrect? I just swear I saw an article title that Sony removed the requirement for PSN for Ragnarok PC.
I could of sworn I read Sony decided to make the PSN account optional.
Windows 11 Enterprise IoT LTSC. The way Windows was supposed to be, bullshit free. Like a fresh XP install. Feels good to game on a W11 that doesn’t fight you, nor installs so much damn bloat all the time.
Just doing the lords work for those stuck on Windows, and who are unaware: massgravedotdev
God I love Mr. Robot. It’s not perfect, but it stays my all time favourite show for good reasons. It’s hard to hype it to someone though, because a lot of the ways I would describe why it’s good would be spoilers 🫠
I’ve tried that far too many times with both W10 and W11. Microsoft always finds a way to re-bloat. I’m pretty sure they have a team dedicated to making sure you get a bunch of bullshit bloat, and to find work arounds to however you removed it.
Way less painful to start over with LTSC and then forget about keeping on top of bloat, AI, and telemetry.
Im here to spread the good word for those who need/want to still use Windows, look up W11 IoT Enterprise LTSC.
Things it doesn’t have: Recall, copilot, ads, cortana, TPM requirement, secure boot requirement, ms store, XBOX and gaming services.
Once it’s freshly installed, it’s like a fresh XP install, naked. Can even group policy to turn off all telemetry. It’s fantastic for gaming.
Since they refuse to license it to just anyone, check out massgravedotdev.
Not sure if it’s exactly what you’re after, but Unifi gateways can install NextDNS with a script provided by NextDNS. It’s all the same lists as Pi-Hole, and possibly more intelligent ones, too. Bonus points are it makes every device in your home use encrypted DNS, as well!
I’m using it on a Dream Machine Pro, and the new Cloud Gateway Ultra.
If you decide yes, I highly recommend Fedora Silverblue, or any of the distros based on silverblue/ublue. I myself love Bazzite for gaming.
Those are atomic and immutable, meaning you cannot easily break core files, and every single thing can be updated in the app store. It’s the windows equivalent of not being able to modify/delete C:\Windows; and getting firmware, drivers, applications, and Windows updates all in one click using the Microsoft Store.
Not an FPS, but a 3rd person shooter.
That exploit required kernel access to begin with, which at that point, you have much bigger problems.
This is because M$s scheduler sucks, and needs to be updated for the new AMD CPUs. Happened in the past with other Ryzen releases.
If possible, save up for a trip to Turkey. My barber 1/2 jokes about it, says its like $6k, includes airfare, and are all inclusive. Turkey has entire villages that have become dedicated to cosmetic surgeries, like hair transplants. Some of them filled with men walking around with their head in bandages 😅
I have one of their’s that can connect to your phone. It’s not needed, it just adds extra cook book functions. It even hosts it so you can control the sous vide when you’re not at home, almost like a reverse proxy.
But yea the physical buttons work fine without the app.
Unraid is amazing for getting into servers. It’s just the right amount of WebUI and minimalism. Very safe and comfortable defaults, and the ability to start tweaking and adding more.
So to update this meme to be real and current: Can it run Hunt Showdown 1896, with it’s brand new Cryengine update. Spoiler alert, it’s beautiful.
It also runs fabulously via Steam and Proton.
