How many games receive any update after 20 years?
- Comment on Ghost of Tsushima - I've heard it's a nice game, but it overstays its welcome. Do you agree? 1 week ago:
The combat is actually pretty good, the graphics and style is amazing. The story is a bit on the meh side. Overall, I think this game is worth it at a discount. I think I bought it for something like 20€ on a disc with the DLC and am planning to resell it at some point.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $79m, despite devastating year for layoffs: 2550 jobs lost in 2024 3 weeks ago:
Exactly how I am feeling. AI took the fun part away of cracking a problem and the satisfaction of solving it is now gone.

- Comment on Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants 1 month ago:
Programming was like a challenge, you have a problem and you need to solve it. You look into the internet, stack overflow, test different chunks of codes, reading documentation, etc. nowadays is simply splitting one problem into pieces, and then copy pasting.
- Comment on Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants 1 month ago:
To be honest ChatGPT pretty much killed the fun of programming.
- Comment on ISPs tell Supreme Court they don’t want to disconnect users accused of piracy 1 month ago:
Why don’t they start with OpenAI and other LLM vendors, because they are the biggest copyright infringement abusers of all time?
- Comment on Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling 2 months ago:
You can install Plex/Jellyfin on the PC and get a much better experience, watch on the phone, tablet, serve multiple clients, etc.
So your argument is unsubstantial.
- Comment on Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling 2 months ago:
The best part of the PS5 is that you can buy and sell discs at much more reasonable prices.
But my feeling is that they will soon start shipping consoles without a disk drive. Maybe PS 6 will be the last one.
- Comment on The Eurogamer 100 2 months ago:
Same with Witcher 3. That was an amazing game. Or Skyrim 5.
- Comment on The air begins to leak out of the overinflated AI bubble 2 months ago:
To be honest right now is a relatively good time to build a PC, except for the GPU, which is heavily overpriced. I think if you are content with last gen AMD, this can also be turned to somewhat acceptable levels.
- Comment on Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 2 months ago:
Skyrim with mods and specifically beyond Skyrim Bruma. I have figured out how to install mods and you can sink a lot of hours in good ol’ Skyrim.
Additionally the farmer was replaced is a fun little Python like game where you need to write Python like code to automate the manual labor on your farm. But this I play on the desktop.
- Comment on Revised Raspberry Pi 5 chip comes with unexpected power savings 2 months ago:
For 70€ you can buy an N4000 mini PC with 6Gb of RAM, and 128Gb eMMC. This is just an example from AliExpress. I am not going to post a link here, but I believe you can find even more offers. Additionally, you can buy some thin clients second hand for dirt cheap.
With the right power supply and BIOS optimisation you can bring their power consumption to be comparable to the power consumption of the Pi, and would be a lot more versatile and powerful as a home/media/automation setup.
- Comment on Revised Raspberry Pi 5 chip comes with unexpected power savings 2 months ago:
That’s definitely true but pretty much you can buy some x64 mini PC for a very similar price, and also similar power consumption that is going to be more versatile and powerful. For example you can run some VMs etc. on top of it. The only benefit of the Rpi nowadags is only their form factor.

- Comment on What have you played this week? 3 months ago:
I just installed Vortex and modded Skyrim. I also have a couple of mods on Stardew Valley. For Skyrim, I was following reddit.com/…/mod_skyrim_w_vortex_working_no_pc_ne… and installed Vortex and there you can install and uninstall mods from the manager itself. Making them run is a bit tricky, but it is definitely worth it.
- Comment on What have you played this week? 3 months ago:
Skyrim, I have modded the game on Steam Deck and installed a bunch of mods, including, Beyond Skyrim Bruma and it runs great.

- Comment on Coming back to a western open world game H:FW after Elden Ring is a massive whiplash 3 months ago:
Actually this is what I liked about the Witcher 3 is that the side quests were really great. Of course there were generic ones that felt like doing chores but a surprisingly big amount of quests were actually unique with great stories.
This for me was the best thing about the game. Combat was kind of meh, especially the oils, etc. but the world was very well crafted and not only the main story but also a big chunk of side quests were really engaging.

I would be highly surprised if US antivirus companies aren’t doing pretty much the same as what the US is accusing Kaspersky of doing.

I actually used to admire this guy, based on the image he had created for himself (self-educated in rocket science, which I highly doubt) but the Thai cave incident and calling one of the divers pedo, opened my eyes.
