- Comment on How do i move or better yet REMOVE those three dots? They are creating a large problem for me. 2 months ago:
If anyone can tell me how to get rid of the bar at the bottom, that would be nice. I don’t need a taskbar or a line, it’s a fucking tablet.
I takes a few millimetres of real estate, it sucks.

Same. The moment you don’t understand the dialogue then it’s not important, that moment it’s about atmosphere. Worked great for me. I enjoyed the sound mixing in this movie!
- Comment on Thoughts on a few recent games 3 months ago:
I replayed Mirror’s Edge a few days ago, with modern hardware in 4k, it still feels stunning! It has aged exceptionally well, thanks to the art style.
The only thing I did not like were the fights. They slow the gameplay just felt tacked on as an afterthought, thankfully many fights can be avoided by simply running past the enemy.
Highly recommended!

This German ad for Quake is awesome too!
- Comment on Ubisoft CEO defends Skull and Bones’ $70 price despite its live service leanings, calls it ‘quadruple-A’ 4 months ago:
They make The Crew unplayable in a month, without any chance to ever play it again.
And they expect me to pay 70 € for this? What?
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, oh, no, you won’t!

Sadly I do non of my gaming through steam. But someone else might find this answer useful!
- Comment on RIP Microsoft WordPad. You Will Be Missed 5 months ago:
May I ask a question out of curiosity? If my system dies on a hardware level, and I have to save my hard drive, how can I access it then if I can’t put it in another system?
- Comment on RIP Microsoft WordPad. You Will Be Missed 5 months ago:
Up to XP I used several dos versions, win3.1, 95, 98, 98SE, and then XP. From there I skipped one version, so 7, then 10. Worked out pretty well so far. So my next windows will hopefully also be 12, and I hope it will have a better UI than 11.
Linux is also interesting, but I like gaming without fiddling too much with my operating system, I just don’t want to commit my rare spare time to that. I want install -> play.
- Comment on What's your favorite game you played this year? (Doesn't have to be released this year ) 5 months ago:
Days Gone, since it just released on gog and I wanted to give a triple a title another shot. It turned out to be pretty good, fun driving and gameplay, and the hordes were terrifying.
Also I was amazed how well this game was running, 4k 144hz butter smooth on a 4070. Kudos to the developers!

I sometimes forget I’m a dying breed. I wanted to write “Thank you Mr. Obvious”, but you are right, I guess not many know this studio name anymore.

Is this a reference to HAL? Otherwise I’m a little lost…

The graphics look great, I immediately want to play it.
But I guess there is a reason I’ve never heard of that game before…

I love the D, it’s my favourite starship of all time.
But my god, the E looks beautiful!!
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 Patch Notes 6 months ago:
And now a serious response: it ran, just before the Add-on dropped, on my 4790k and a RX6600 on 1920x1200 flawlessly with no bugs, at 60 fps on high settings. This game is now well optimized, and a fantastic experience. It took a while, but the wait was worth it!

- Comment on Intel's New GPU Drivers Boost Performance Up To 750% in DX11, 53% in DX12 8 months ago:
I sadly don’t have the time nor the nerves to fight my PC, but I sincerely hope that intel GPUs become a force on the market to consider in the future, prices from the big two are way too high, competition might change that.

New Vegas was ok, but I liked 1 and 2 more. You made me interested, I’ll give it a go! Thank you!

It’s not that bad, but it definitely shows it’s age.
I decided to watch Babylon 5 again a few weeks ago, that CGI has really aged poorly! Holy shit!!
- Comment on For the new arrivals. We're on a mission from Q 8 months ago:
That’s unfair. There was also DS9, YOY and ENT. And that was the last Trek to exist.

Holy shit, I knew I’ve seen him somewhere before!!! He was the little drug dealing brat!!!
Awesome sequel by the way! I don’t care if many people give this movie shit, it’s great!!
- Comment on System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition - Official Trailer | The Indie Horror Showcase 2023 8 months ago:
I totally agree. This is one of my favourite games of all time, I play it once a year, and I expected definitely an upgrade. This looks like the HD mod, you are right. No need to buy I think.
- Comment on MRW when I see Alex Kurtzman talking about how supportive Paramount+ is of Trek 8 months ago:
The problem with professionalism is that they are people on a star ship, but they often act childish or like teenagers. TOS was corny at times, but they acted like absolute professionals most of the time. In SNW I missed that, they were often super relaxed with a good joke on their lips in the face of eminent death. Or I remember when they hunt a poor underdeveloped guy through the ship and get him and making jokes after that. That was definitely the “WTF are they doing” moment for me that made it hard to enjoy.
- Comment on MRW when I see Alex Kurtzman talking about how supportive Paramount+ is of Trek 8 months ago:
I really tried getting into the new shows. I was so excited for Discovery, I even opened a bottle of good wine saved for a special occasion. And then it did not feel like Star Trek at all, it was dark, brutal, disturbing. I finally dropped out after season 2. Lower Decks was ok, but more of a parody than real Star Trek, with weird character choices. Strange New Worlds was interesting at first, but also with characters that did not feel like the professional Star Fleet personal I was used to. Prodigy I haven’t even started because I don’t really was in the mood up to today.
I’m not excited when I read a headline like this, something that would be unthinkable a few years back. Let’s see what they are cranking out, maybe it’s something that has the old feeling again, good plots, good characters and that sense of wonder and optimism for example that TNG had. I haven’t given up hope.
- Comment on If you could play one game for the first time all over again, what would it be? 8 months ago:
System Shock 2 or Thief: Dark Project. Those two were the games that impressed me most in my 40 years of playing games.
Honourable mention: Minecraft. The first few weeks playing that come very close.

I’m playing Toonstruck at the moment. Christopher Lloyd was one of the early pioneers acting in computer games, and he gives everything! The game is so much fun!
