- Comment on Microsoft just paused Windows 11 24H2 update for many PCs due to crashes and freezes 3 weeks ago:
This isn't the first time they've pushed an update which crashes PCs.
IIRC, the development/testing is done on Windows under VMs rather than a sample of real world hardware, so it's like "well yeah, duh, no wonder why you keep releasing updates that crash & freeze end users machines"
Between shit like this, Crowdstrike, and Microsoft Recall I wonder why anyone even bothers with Windows anymore. I have both Mac and Linux (both which I love equally). Both of them don't seem to have anywhere near these levels of issues - Macs I would hope not given the eye-watering amount I've spent on it, and Linux I could be forgiven if it did give me hassle, but no.

I did and I feel quite happy about it. Here's hoping there is more web engines out there 👍

- Comment on Someone finally figured out a good use for NFTs: Peter Molyneux is using 'land' sales from his failed blockchain game to fund the development of his new project 2 months ago:
I hadn't heard about Molyneux in a hot minute, and now I'm quite glad I've lived in a bubble away from that man's crap.

NGL I was quite sold on the daytime building the town up, nighttime prevent it from being destroyed,
But then it went into customising clothes, food, houses, etc and it just lost me. I don't care about that. I don't want to micro-manage each aspect of my citizens down to the individual clothes/ingredient/brick etc.
I never understood why Molyneux is so big on the idea of customisation - it seems to get in the way of the games grander vision...

Ah man! What a great choice!
It looks like the studio was behind Ghost of Tsushima, so here's hoping further down the PS5's lifecycle we get a sequel!

Nice choice! Would you like them to start afresh or would you like them to continue on from a specific game?

I've heard a fair bit about this game, but never really played it. I may try to get a copy for my Steam Deck. Which one would you recommend for a first timer?

- Comment on Doom and Doom II get a ‘definitive’ rerelease that’s packed with upgrades 3 months ago:
I tried this on my Steam deck, and the launcher that opens the specific game (DOOM, DOOM 2, etc) was so pitifully sluggish.
I think it was struggling to load the screenshot or to stop playing a demo video to move onto showing a screenshot.
Absolutely abysmall performance for something so unbelievably simple by a large studio.
