Never used it, but I just want to appreciate the design of these three icons: just a speaker radiating sound coming to something resembling a solar system. Simple, yet cool.
- Comment on With a Nintendo Switch 2 on the way, I hope Valve make a Steam Deck 2 3 days ago:
Underspecced, but having Mario&Co. I wonder if they’d happen to go the Sega’s way, intentionally or not, becoming games and not hardware producer, letting their main franchizes flourish or fall on other’s platforms.

Idk, sounds too risky.
- Comment on Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling 1 week ago:
Probably, if they aren’t that obscure. I don’t know if a distance is that long between Windows 11 and Seven, but I suppose it’s that big for older systems.
- Comment on Why do whistleblowers always do this? 1 week ago:
We can call them just BONK for they aren’t as good at building planes anymore as they are at hunting whistleblowers. This case’s probably not on them since it’s too unpredictable, but the last one was very suspicious.
- Comment on Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling 1 week ago:
I’d probably say a blasphemy, but ordinary workers only experience problems for their old HDDs\systems are overstuffed and are far from their prime, so they ask for entire new PC to start fresh. New Seven x64 on SSD is what most people would’be okay with*, since it’s compatible with new Office document formats, doesn’t need much resources or space, and can still do everything except for niche tasks. It’s not as morbid as Vista\8, not yet filled with bloat like 10 or 11, not as limited today as XPx32 with older driver delivery model. I don’t know much about security stuff, but I feel like older systems falling from popularity are not the usual targets of people who write them, and encountering one using an outdated OS would probably mean nothing since exploits they want to abuse aren’t there yet.
* Linux would probably be better, but that’s still a hard sell for businesses that don’t use it intentionally.
- Comment on Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling 1 week ago:
I’m still having troubles to understand why’d they even want Windows 11 to happen and I’d really like some more informed people to help me out.
They had massive mergers as an unpredicted expense. I also don’t know many people who bought the last XBOX unlike previous gens or ever used MS Store. Is that sweet lobbying money from hardware producers? I thought they planned Windows X as the peak Windows platform to then sell internal products (game-as-a-service but OS), so did this plan failed?
Windows 11 looks like an afterthought and the centered taskbar may be intentionally put there to make it look different from Win10 while it’s probably the least changed new release as I learnt after a brief encounter with it (after XP, I don’t know much about earlier OSes).
Had they just run out of money?

- Comment on Morrowind is overly Morrowind 1 week ago:
I’m happy you did. Of all parts, it’s harder to get into Oblivion now than anything else, surprisingly. I faied at that, but you may win and write another post here. I feel sad about it for Sheoghoraths’ isles were one the best moments in the whole franchise.

Be aware that it’s wery old and don’t be shy from googling UESP wiki or reaching some player’s PMs if you’d feel lost.

Can’t get it rn, but it’s the kind of a post that usually leads to an underlooked treasure. Gotta save it to a wishlist.

You are cool. I felt something similar to these places.
- Comment on Morrowind is overly Morrowind 2 weeks ago:
What’s your favorite place in here then? I’m pretty basic so I’d pick Molag Mar for how one canton of Vivek looks weird placed in the wilderness, and I’m curious what would be your loved one.
- Comment on Morrowind is overly Morrowind 2 weeks ago:
Kirkbride is a sick, demented man.
A beloved one at that. It’s a shame we don’t see games inspired by him anymore. Someone like Supergiant could’ve pulled it off.
- Comment on Morrowind is overly Morrowind 2 weeks ago:
AlMSIVI are losing their powers at this point, so unlike Daggerfall with it’s 6 endings, whatever you do, the star that Molag Bal launched and Vivek slowed down would eventually crush into the capital even if you leave Vivek alive. The one thing they could do is releasing slaves and establishing good relations with argonians, who are happy to pillage the province in the distress, but they didn’t. So they ate the cake they baked.
I’m pissed that most of that was designed when they did the OG game, but we come to know that through books in Oblivion and poorly-written published fanfics.

- Comment on Morrowind is overly Morrowind 2 weeks ago:
If you’d ever get lost there or in the other TES games, UESP is an old-styled wiki resource not killed by Fandom and still going strong for decades: en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Main_Page
I’d suggest you to use OpenMW as an engine since it has, if I’m correct, many patches to games’ issues already under the hood. To use it, just install Morrowind+DLCs and then show OpenMW where it all landed. I believe, original english ISO files can be found even on the Internet Archive, but if they aren’t, I can send you a magnet link to a torrent. Lets incentivise Bethesda to make the TES6 already.
- Comment on Morrowind is overly Morrowind 2 weeks ago:
the end goal is basically overthrowing the government and installing a Dunmer ethno state… And the Emperor is fine with it lol.
Red Year is coming in 3… 2… 1…
I’d disagree with you saying you are building the ethnostate since your end goal is to kill the one who tried to do that, and also to use Akhulakhan (big godly mecha) to undo the Empire, like it’s some Metal Gear Solid game lol. You kill the most dissenting party here, and whatever your choices were before, you still build this province as a more tolerant place than Dagoth Ur envisioned. Even Redoran’s ultraconservative pov is vanilla compared to what could’ve happened if he won. So it’s a win for Empire even if they didn’t know that wouldn’t last.
- Comment on Morrowind is overly Morrowind 2 weeks ago:
What if I told you that at some point in the game you are to kill a giant flying insect with a fork? Or to find a mass grave or those who thought they are worthy to follow the footsteps you’re yet to make? Or that you can kill two of three dunmeric self-entitled gods while you are at it? These are all in the vanilla GOTY game. It’s just that insane and profoundly hand-crafted by the trinity of the experienced in their field old guard, the new guys with a shine in their eyes and Michael Kirkbride who ate through another mile of acid-laced postmarks. If you are to leave the first tutorial village here, you’d never come back (:

- Comment on DJI might get banned next in the US 2 weeks ago:
Such a blunder, imho. Since drones are the future at least for warfare, encouraging their use with certified and safe models may be a no-brainer to support the growth of that technology and educating civil operators en masse.
- Comment on DJI might get banned next in the US 2 weeks ago:
For starters you cannot fly a drone over a person except the operator (yourself).
Is that because most drones are passively recording a videosteeam for it’s operator to navigate it? Would it affect cameraless drones?

Clever. Didn’t thought about that.
- Comment on How should I link to music so that anyone can open it? 2 weeks ago:
In some cases it can be geoblocked or would be deleted with time if IP holders demand so. But that’s probably the case for most platforms. The pro-point for youtube is that it is embeddable in most social networks and website engines, so if you post it to your blog or chat it’d play within the page or app without coming to another resource.
