Thanks. It was set to Allow Important Only when plugged in, I’ve disabled it.

I just want to know why my Windows 10 laptop is waking up by itself in the middle of the night to apply updates it isn’t supposed to have? What the fuck?!
- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues banning Twitter over its ability to AI-generate pornographic images of minors is just 'gatekeepers' attempting to 'censor all of their political opponents' 6 days ago:
Wait, so is Tim Sweeney a fucking fascist, too?
- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 6 days ago:
Yeah I wasn’t thrilled when I saw they added it and tried to force it, so I disabled it. Very glad I did!
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 1 week ago:
Yep, Switch 1 was much more interesting, and I still skipped it in favour of PC / Steam Deck.

- Comment on Do you preorder games? 3 weeks ago:
Never. I hate the preorder exclusive bonuses; it’s anti-consumer bullshit, especially in an age where every game is available as a digital download, even the physical copies usually require downloads. Publishers are enticing customers to pay while hype is high, before the product is actually available, before quality has been proven and before reviews are published.
I hate gift cards for the same reason, you’re giving money to corporations before they’ve provided anything to you.
Hold on to your money, wait for reviews, then pay them for the finished product if you still want it.
I also think the rising launch prices of AAA games is bullshit, especially for singleplayer games. I’ll usually wait for a decent discount.

- Comment on Control Resonant - Announcement Trailer | PS5 Games 5 weeks ago:
At least there’s a chance they’ll just give it away for free.
- Comment on Divinity - Cinematic Announcement Trailer 5 weeks ago:
It would be completely fine as a cutscene in an 18+ rated game, but it was a bit much for a trailer revealed at an (all ages?) event with no warning at all. Extremely detailed melting flesh and interspecies copulation was not on my bingo card.
Wishlisted, looking forward to more info.

Yeah Respawn is a good dev, just a shame they got bought by EA and scrapped Titanfall 3.
- Comment on It turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it 1 month ago:
EA (Respawn) peaked at Titanfall 2 and hasn’t released anything good since. I set them to Ignore on Steam a few years ago.

- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 1 month ago:
You just reminded me of a funny feature I found in Elite Dangerous (space MMO) to prevent combat loggers (quitting suddenly during combat): if you press Alt+F4,the game doesn’t immediately exit, but shows you a Quit dialog (to main menu or desktop), and there’s a lengthy countdown if you’re near hostile ships. :)
Doesn’t prevent it entirely, but I thought it was pretty crafty.

Sorry, Mordhau’s mêlée combat completely surpasses Mount and Blade’s for me, I tried Bannerlord but there is simply no going back.
