- Comment on Is there any way of trying Battlefield 6 without buying it or paying £17 for a 1 month EA Play Pro subscription? 4 days ago:
Not many comments seem to be from anyone who has played it. So if it helps, I am playing it and very very much so loving it. It feels like an actual BF game, again! Also to preface, the BF series has probably been my favorite multiplayer shooter since BF2, and I did not like 5 or 2042.
It is a very solid core of a game, and I can easily see this only (hopefully) getting more content and even better with time.
Some new things that are awesome: Dragging away downed team mates to revive. Being able to ride on the back of the main battle tanks, hop off and repair, then jump on the back again. All 4 classes come with outstanding starter guns. The amount of weapon customizations, it’s like a diet Tarkov. The War Tapes audio setting got a new and even more intense version. Not exactly new, but it looks amazing and runs well.
At the very least I’d try it with the EA pass. If you’re a fan of the series, especially BC2, BF3, and 4, then I’d bet you enjoy it.

- Comment on Silent Hill 1 Remake in Full Production, Confirms Bloober Team 2 weeks ago:
Ooo, I’m excited! Their SH2 remake was very good minus typical UE5 problems. Their new original IP game Cronos that just came out was an outstanding survival horror, which had UE5 problems as well, but for me its overall performance was better. Here’s hoping they learn even more how to correctly use the engine.
For anyone who’s a fan of Resident Evil, Silent Hill, or Dead Space, you should definitely try out their new game Cronos: The New Dawn. The story alone absolutely hooked me, and I was fully invested to finish the game to learn wtf was happening.

I fucking LOVE my Unraid server, but I’ve had it for many years and they’ve since changed their pricing. A very, very solid WebUI.
I paid like $40 just once for it, and it looks like it’s $90 now. Honestly I’d still pay that, it has been immensely helpful to get me started as my first homelab.
And btw I use Arch for my desktop whenever I use Linux.
I helped a friend build a server to use Unraid for his new house, and to get him started with Home Assistant and the arr stack. He’s always been fairly good with computers, but had 0 Linux experience. After about 6 months he became self efficient and no longer needed to ask for help.

To be fair, Crytek said it wasn’t unoptimized, but graphically over tuned on purpose, so that even years after release new hardware could finally play the game to its full potential and keep it a relevant graphical benchmark.
If that was a stupid idea in hind sight is another matter 👀.

I looked up some videos from YouTube sleuths on why so many UE5 games suck. For any studio previously using UE3 or 4, they had to relearn/recreate nearly their entire workflow again. 5 very much changed damn near everything. But also that 5 has all this tech that everyone assumes works in all scenarios and is a miracle. When in reality it’s still software tech and has very real limitations and best use cases that studios ignore. Larger studios “should” be able to trial and error while burning through $ to figure it out, but usually management doesn’t give them enough time. Smaller studios can’t afford to have many many months of downtime learning to re-adapt everything. It’s just so damn complex that very few have had time and $ to just trial and error figure out its limitations and to work within them.
It SHOULD get better and better as time goes on, though. The tech pieces in 5 keep getting improvements, and theoretically people should eventually start to adapt to it correctly, and the knowledge should spread as devs move to different studios for new work.

It’s because Australia is upside down, and batteries draining the wrong direction cause fires. They just need to invert the internals.

You can install the Store and Xbox app, and use Gamepass. I have a friend that does this, after I showed them how.

I’m in the same boat waiting for Linux to be a bit more “feature complete,” for me to daily.
In the mean time, check out W11 Enterprise IoT LTSC. It’s the secret menu item equivalent W11 they don’t wanna sell to consumers. It feels like a fresh W7 install with no AI, no bloat, no bullshit, and can even disable all telemetry. Only comes with Edge and Defender.
massgrave.dev has the iso’s and permanent activators.

It does seem a lot of games pivoted from cheap enough so everyone will buy it, to whale hunting. They had people run numbers and found whale hunting paid off more, and how much $ they could charge for a skin combined with FOMO before driving the whales away.

- Comment on Rainbow Six Siege X: Launch Trailer 4 months ago:
I was accepted into the test of this game. I don’t play Siege at all anymore, but was excited to see their “fixed” audio in action, and the new game mode with limited operators seemed fun and fresh.
The audio was considerably worse. Sound literally was unable to go through doorways and windows.
I also noticed when spectating that like >1/2 of players would die from getting shot in the back. Like completely oblivious someone else was nearby. Then I realized basically no one could hear anything, like at all. We couldn’t hear gadgets, glass breaking, barriers being thrown up or torn down, foot steps; just faint gunshots if they were only one room away.
I hate gambling, but if possible I’d consider betting big $ it’s not fixed, at all.

Unraid is the GOAT for self hosting. An excellent way to learn VMs, Docker, and Linux in general. They have an “app store,” which is community templates for Docker containers, and have all the *arr programs you could want. Drive management is super easy, too.

It’s designed to scale. Plus it’s nifty to be able to add ~3 tags to a docker container and then it’s instantly online and ready to be used.

Think of it as more modular.
I personally used Traefik, but only because I’m a masochist and it would be useful to know in IT workplace.
Traefik + CrowdSec + CowdSec Traefik Bouncer.
Traefik handles the traffic, and said traffic has to get a green light from CrowdSec + Bouncer before it can go anywhere.
The concept of CrowdSec is honestly super awesome.
