Don’t give Todd any idea. The world would crumble if Bethesda was to port Skyrim again.

Doom on the wrapper, it really can be played from anywhere. Now that’s peak gaming.

Why am I not surprised it’s been done. Mad lad.

- Comment on Confusing disk with /dev/null for years [2:23] 1 year ago:
It’s still possible but that requires a few steps to works.
If you’re using the official YouTube app, you can press the three vertical dots button on the website, you should have an option called “Open app”.
If you’re using ReVanced/Vanced, and because Google has made poor design choices about handling links, you can go into the app settings to tell it to handle every YouTube URL. This should works when clicking a YouTube link from Sync. However, for links that you changed manually from Piped to YouTube, Chrome doesn’t provide a way to open in app. Firefox can do that, but if it’s not your default browser, this option requires you to change browser every time you want to see a video inside the app.
The best option, is to use “Open Link With…” which provide an easy way to open apps from your browser. It’s as simple as sharing the website to “Open Link With…” and select your app eg. YouTube/ReVanced/Vanced/etc. You can also set it as your browser which should do that automatically but I haven’t tested it so YMMV.
I hope this was useful!

It use the same path logic as YouTube. You only need to replace “piped.video” with “youtube.com”.
- Comment on Unity apologises. 1 year ago:
Sorry, I thought it was obvious I was sarcastic about their “mistake”. They want to be seen as the victims like they didn’t know in advance the outcome of their decisions. Backing down on the changes only to show something “less worst” is only a way to make the pill easier to swallow. Unity cannot be trusted anymore.

How to be a company in 2023
- Make a controversial move to please your shareholders without caring about your loyal customers.
- Don’t use a proper PR team, just use the same apology template on Twitter that everyone is using.
- People are angry… Could anyone seen that coming? 🙈
- Undo some changes without addressing the root problem.
- ???
- Profit (if by profit, you mean loose every inch of respect people had about you)
Rinse & repeat, because we’re all humans and we can’t learn from our mistakes. Surely, this won’t happen again… right?
- Comment on This should be illegal 1 year ago:
Good analogy. The battle shouldn’t be about forcing abandonware to be opensource. We should focus on DRM, it makes games almost impossible to play when servers shut down.
OP should have compared it to other medias such as movies. When you buy a box copy, you expect it to work long after the authors/studios/etc. are gone.
The issue is about the lack of legal ways to play older games as time moves on. It will only grow bigger in the next few years with even more games relying on DRM and online servers.

Recently used Porkbun for a .xyz domain for reverse proxy / DNS challenge. Price was about 2-3CAD$ for the first year, renewal at +/-10CAD$/year. My usage is pretty simple, but it’s been great so far.

No registry edit necessary. Just use the email no[at]thankyou.com, write any password. Windows will throw an error, press continue and voilà, you can create your local account.
Rufus also has an option for local accounts and for removing TPM/SecureBoot requirements.
- Comment on Why you shouldn't use Brave Browser 1 year ago:
It’s not really bad per se, it’s the default on most Android devices these days. The problem is that almost all modern browsers are Chromium-based which give Google a lot of power to implement changes (see manifest v3 & web DRM). Personally, I’m trying to slowly reduce my usage of Google products. I’m using Firefox on desktop and a mix of DDG+Fennec on my phone.
- Comment on Minecraft's recent EULA changes place heavy restrictions on Java servers 1 year ago:
Another one bites the dust. Sad to see Mojang digging their grave like every other company these past few weeks… I keep seeing MineTest poping up, might have to give it a try soon enough.
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion [2] 1 year ago:
I’ve been playing Neon White for a few days. It’s been in my backlog for a while. I had a lot of fun replaying levels to get an Ace & gifts. I’m currently at chapter 6. The story segments are cringy, but that’s part of its charm.
- Comment on Netflix just axed its basic ad-free plan in the US and UK 1 year ago:
It always has been a service problem. If you’re trying to make it harder to access the content I pay for, I’ll go right back to sailing the high seas. They must squeeze every penny out of their customers.

Goobye Netflix, hello Plex! 👋
