Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord with some mods took long enough to give up for me.

- Comment on What are good harddrives to use with serves 1 month ago:
One thing no one will tell you HOW LOUD some HDDs are under load. You may not want any disks around if you’re keeping your server around your living spaces.
- Comment on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 needs 64GB of RAM for ideal performance — oddly, the game install size is only 30GB 1 month ago:
This game feels like the perfect candidate for streaming from XCloud/GeForce Now since all those data doesn’t really need to be transferred all the time. And the game’s design can tolerate a bit input latency.
- Comment on Any non-tech-background self-hosters? 2 months ago:
Sound designer here. I always liked to tinker with digital stuff, and while I think %90 of the self hosted apps must’ve been simple .EXEs, I’m having fun setting them up around.

You don’t even have to be using the strong contender. I’ve switched to Ecosia and my reach to interesting stuff increased tenfold. SearXNG also spewing what I’m exactly asking for.

Sophia Petrillo will be exhilarated.
- Comment on What games popularized certain mechanics? 2 months ago:
Minecraft singlehandedly created a genre called “Survival”.
I think most of the games around 2005’s Indie Game Boom created lots of brilliant mechanics that’s been copied still.
- Comment on Your TV set has become a digital billboard. And it’s only getting worse. 2 months ago:
Point is, it’s near impossible to find a dumb tv with good specs. Like LG is producing no-smart version of LG C3 (best display ever so far), but it’s only sold to businesses.

It would still take 375000 Rooneys to deplete Musk’s wealth.

…only 4 years later.
- Comment on That time when Microsoft bought and killed Nokia phone unit 6 months ago:
Yeah, visually there are alternatives on Android, but there were a few features built into WP that Android doesn’t fundamentally support.
Like having your SO’s all accounts merged under a single node, and seeing everything related to her, be it from WhatsApp, Mail, SMS, Photo Shares etc inside a single tile was awesome. Can Android do that in 2024?
- Comment on That time when Microsoft bought and killed Nokia phone unit 6 months ago:
Yeah, I agree.
The main incentive twirled around UWP mentality, “Write one app that works on Windows, WP and Xbox automagically”.
I think it was a fucking-a-star idea that could gather fresh developers to a big potential userbase. And surprisingly, it worked for a time as well.
But MS again cold-feeted the platform themselves in a short span and scared everyone.
I actually witnessed many brilliant developers wrote their very first C# code with UWP, only to spin out to other platforms later as WinPhone’s apparent neglect. PocketCasts and Flipboard are two that went very successful on other platforms.
- Comment on That time when Microsoft bought and killed Nokia phone unit 6 months ago:
To be honest, Windows Phone OS was a marvel in terms of user experience and design language. Calling it ‘Bad Software’ is not fair at all.
Too bad MS picked every possible bad decision to cripple it, starting with not putting it’s weight at all.
I really, really miss the feeling of being in control of my whole digital existence with just a single glance.
- Comment on CFCs 8 months ago:
TBH “The whole world agreed on something” narrative doesn’t really reflect what happened.
Actually, The Industry dropped using CFC after a cheaper and luckily safer alternative has been discovered right around that time.
- Comment on Proton Pass breaks prowlarr on firefox since today 8 months ago:
Proton Pass is just another service, as much as Firefox Relay is.

On that topic, is there an alternative for a mail client + calendar for Win 11 that doesn’t look and feel like a Windows 95 exe named Thunderbird?

- Comment on The Steam Deck OLED feels like a radiant new dawn for portable play 11 months ago:
I have the old one. Next iteration will have the same better display along with better cpu/gpu/ram, current battery is more than enough for a day of my gaming needs and I doubt I will ever need to touch a screw let alone a repair. It isn’t a “radiant” anything.
- Comment on Starfield Is Bethesda's Lowest-Rated Game On Steam 1 year ago:
Alright hear me out: If an unknown team who’s not sitting on Microsoft’s giant PR budget have had developed this game, no one would give a flying f*ck about it.
There are dozens of ambitious, great indie games at Starfield’s current caliber out there on Steam and Itch.io already, and they can only barely find audience. PR changes everything.
- Comment on Do you guys think Starfield will come with Bethesda.nets mod support, even on consoles? 1 year ago:
I’m sure now owned by Microsoft, Bethesda made sure how that will work on Xbox X/S :)
- Comment on Do you guys think Starfield will come with Bethesda.nets mod support, even on consoles? 1 year ago:
Starfield made to be moddable. That’s why there’s thousands of empty planets: Just pick one, make a total conversion mod and release it without conflicting with thousands of other mods (planets).
I’m sure mods will be supported everywhere to full extent.
