- Comment on Microsoft rolls out native Sysmon monitoring in Windows 11 2 days ago:
Not only that, Russinovich through some magic made them keep this online: live.sysinternals.com and it’s the best site MS has, no bullshit whatsoever, dates showing when the tools were last updated. If you’re helping some unfortunate soul doomed to windows, it’s a great resource.
- Comment on AI Didn't Break Copyright Law, It Just Exposed How Broken It Already Was 2 days ago:
Just like Aaron Swartz
- Comment on What is immersion to you? 1 week ago:
You can objectively measure it by asking a person playing for a fixed amount of time how much time has passed and measuring the discrepancy. Games that lately immersed me the most are Intravenous (1/2) and Riftbreaker.
- Comment on Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually) 1 week ago:
That’s true, but it’s also a pain in the ass compared to Steam, was my point. I can click on Dishonored and have it ready in 15 minutes while I make coffee, or I can download like
Dishonored - Definitive Edition (Part 1 of 5) 2 MB Dishonored - Definitive Edition (Part 2 of 5) 4 GB Dishonored - Definitive Edition (Part 3 of 5) 4 GB Dishonored - Definitive Edition (Part 4 of 5) 4 GB Dishonored - Definitive Edition (Part 5 of 5) 2.4 GB
and then install it by hand, after which I have double its size in used diskspace and have to delete those files.
- Comment on Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually) 1 week ago:
Not having a launcher is my requirement to buy a game lol
Good luck with that. I need it because I’ve fiddled with my screwdriver adjusting the cassette head position to load Scuba Diver on ZX Spectrum too many times.

Requires both Secure Boot & TPM 2.0
Fuck right off
- Comment on Nova Launcher gets a new owner and... ads 2 weeks ago:
It excellent, you can filter network access per app, or per IP, or isolate an app and allow it to access only certain addresses / ranges and the interface is really intuitive and user-friendly.
- Comment on Nova Launcher gets a new owner and... ads 2 weeks ago:
Up until today I was happy with turning off updates (as a precaution) and restricting Nova’s internet access (all phone network access is proxied through Rethink+), but this made me switch to Lawnchair and leave a 1-star review for both the free version and the paid upgrade token.
- Comment on Meta has discontinued its metaverse for work, too 3 weeks ago:
I would still like to see an explanation of why it is bad. Regardless of who will provide that explanation :)
Because they have Occulus’ locked up in their basement and VR gimmick du jour is worse, now instead of just having a headset where you have to use their account and see ads for their shitty corpo vr chat every time you login you’ll have a mandatory llm paperclip learning your habits and shilling 24/7

Stupidest brand mishandling ever, this is incredibly shortsighted
- Comment on What are your gaming highlights of 2025? 1 month ago:
Sektori, it’s the best game I’ve played in a long time.
- Comment on Divinity - Cinematic Announcement Trailer 1 month ago:
“cinematic announcement”
Wow, it’s fucking nothing
- Comment on The best games of 2025, picked by NPR's staff 2 months ago:
It saddens me that Sektori came out too late to be on these lists, because they are effective marketing for indies and it’s one of the finest games ever made. It works flawlessly, is Linux friendly and is polished to a shine. It’s very opinionated design, but the opinions are in my opinion all correct and the overall game is a wonderful sequel to Geometry Wars. The only thing it’s missing right now is 2-player (at least) coop.
- Comment on Epic boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labelling games as being made with AI: 'It makes no sense,' he says, because 'AI will be involved in nearly all future production 2 months ago:
It does make sense, because I’ll boycott nearly all future productions.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
That’s another problem, even if we disregard optimizations, AAA games from 2015. look better than modern upscaled stuff, Unreal Engine seems to be so easy enough to use nowadays that big vertically-integrated slop publishers replaced seasoned developers with the cheapest of zoomers.

That’s exactly it, was looking for this comment.

- Comment on Assassin's Creed is a "forever brand" because Ubisoft supported huge risks with it, ex director says: "Whereas, say, EA, you get these awful execs and they never made games and they came from toothpaste companies" 2 months ago:
Sure, it’s a forever brand, can’t wait for it to be forever shelved after someone buys it as a piece of Ubisoft’s corpse.

- Comment on Scoop: Ubisoft cancelled a post-Civil War Assassin’s Creed last year 3 months ago:
AC is so moldy Ubisoft could only get excited with a nice big Grow Home / Up sequel with no microtransactions, no ingame shop and everything unlockable through playing.

I would never give Microsoft money for their shitty subscription, so it is kind of fun for me.
- Comment on New Steam study alleges that Valve's store is home to extreme right-wing "wars" 4 months ago:
Valve does nothing
It’s not Valve’s job to provide a liberal education and loving community for the young’uns, the only thing Valve can do is censor discussions and ban people for what they are saying. Like tiktok is doing with “Israel is controlling the U.S. through AIPAC”.

I will be playing Silksong until the winter sale, but I can recommend this for the sale price that they’re asking (0.75€ at the moment).
- Comment on Xbox invests big into indies, signs Game Pass deals with over 50 studios 4 months ago:
Whose employees then go and make new companies, marketing its first game as “by the makers of X” and MS is left holding IP of dubious worth and their dick in their hands.
