I spent more time going back and forth while trying to max out the zip line range in Death Stranding than I’m willing to admit.
(Death’s Door and Tunic are also fantastic)
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 1 week ago:
Playing Blasphemous 2 right now. Definitely a lot of QoL improvements over part 1.
Beat two bosses so far, both with great move sets but the second one was a little bit on the easy side.
Also, playing Super Mario Galaxy for the first time on my Deck.

If Monster Hunter Wilds plays nice on Steam Deck, I doubt I’ll be able to resist.
The first beta had issues with crashing on Proton but it seems like they figured out the reason.
Also, there is a second beta upcoming so you can test it before release: store.steampowered.com/news/…/547849766230294535
- Comment on What are your Homelab goals for 2025? 4 weeks ago:
IPv6 is pretty much identical to IPv4 in terms of functionality.
The biggest difference is that there is no more need for NAT with IPv6 because of the sheer amount of IPv6 addresses available. Every device in an IPv6 network gets their own public IP.
For example: I get 1 public IPv4 address from my ISP but 4,722,366,482,869,645,213,696 IPv6 addresses. That’s a number I can’t even pronounce and it’s just for me.
There are a few advantages that this brings:
- Any client in the network can get a fresh IP every day to reduce tracking
- It is pretty much impossible to run a full network scan on this amount of IP addresses
- Every device can expose their own service on their own IP (For example: You can run multiple web servers on the same port without a reverse proxy or multiple people can host their own game server on the same port)
There are some more smaller changes that improve performance compared to IPv4, but it’s minimal.
- Comment on What are your Homelab goals for 2025? 4 weeks ago:
Hopefully I can finally get the IPv6 stack fully working.
OPNsense works, Proxmox works, LXC works, Docker works but Docker Swarm does not.
Either I move away from Docker Swarm or a miracle happens and they finally fix their IPv6 support in 2025.

Will I enjoy Persona 5 if I didn’t like all the grinding in Persona 4? I liked the cutscenes, the characters, the gameplay, the music but at some point you just keep doing the same dungeon over and over again and I just quit there.
- Comment on What's next after Half-Life? 1 month ago:
It wasn’t mentioned yet: Abiotic Factor is essentially Half-Life 1 but with coop.
If you have a friend or two interested in the same type of game I can only recommend it.

Sayonara Wild Hearts was such an unexpected banger to play through. I still hope they make another one.
- Comment on Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week? 1 month ago:
I’ve gotten stuck on a boss, closed the game thinking “I hate soulslike games, this was a waste of money,” and then beat the boss on my first try the next day.
Ah yes, the classic Souls experience.
It’s super satisfying.
It is, being in a 5 minute sword fight with swords clashing all the time is really rewarding. Many of my favorite Souls bosses are from Sekiro.

Not really, the only wifi devices are phones and IoT.

1000 hours in Alan Wake is impressive. I assume you played part 2?
- Comment on Post your setup. no matter how uggo 2 months ago:
Is that actually an UPS or just a backup battery? Can it passthrough the line power directly or does the inverter need to run 24/7?
In the latter case you might want to check how much power the inverter eats just by itself. For example, my Bluetti with 2 kWh needs a whopping 50W in idle just to keep the AC ports powered. Of course your unit looks much smaller so it should be way less but still worth measuring.

It seems they don’t make a variant for Europe so that’s probably why I never heard of it.

Is that a Unifi PDU/UPS? Didn’t even know they made these.
Also, you need to peel the stickers of the screens.

Top to bottom:
- Unifi US-16-XG
- OPNsense DEC740
- Unifi Switch 24
- Unifi Switch 16 PoE
- DIY server with an AsrockRack X470D4U mainboard
- DIY DAS in an old server case with 18 3.5" bays
Not in picture: My UPSes, RIPE Atlas probe and an Odroid N2+ running my Home Assistant instance
The server runs Proxmox with a bunch of LXC containers running a Docker Swarm cluster.
There’s too many services running so I’m not listing them all. Let’s just say my phone is not going to be thrilled if it goes down. Also, this post was posted through said server.

Yeah, the announcement made me remember that I never played part 3.

I started playing Darksiders 3 (2018) over the weekend. Never got around to play it on release because my PC couldn’t run it back then.

but I spent most of it trying to remember who everybody was or why I care about all these meetings and that somebody is being rude to somebody.
Good that I’m not the only one who struggles with this in every new season of Re:Zero. The end also did it for me though, now I’m excited again.

I felt the same, they really just ended right in the middle of THE fight.
Season was pretty good though, excluding the end.

IMHO the Plus version is a downgrade since it is made for consoles and does not require you to modify files on your own system.

- Comment on Remedy and Annapurna announce a strategic cooperation agreement on Control 2 5 months ago:
I would argue that even restricting sales to your own store is anti-competitive tying. You’re avoiding competing on the merits of a store using exclusive licensing of a creative work.
A creative work which you made yourself, which you can sell wherever you want.
Should you sell it everywhere so as many people can play it as possible? Sure. Do you have to? No.
Again, not a fan of the tactic, but they are trying to break an entrenched monopoly with a ton of network effects which is near impossible.
Let’s reverse the roles for a second: EGS is the big player and Steam is just getting started. EGS suddenly starts paying all publishers to only publish on their platform. Does that sound like competition to you? You don’t break a monopoly by using tools used by monopolies.
Their launcher is perfectly fine.
Fine? Yes. It does the bare minimum of being able to buy a game and start it. Does it do everything I expect a modern game launcher to do after existing for almost 6 years? Nope.
But they are. They’re not losing that much money, even with a tiny portion of market share. Valve having far more market share means they should be able to do it for an even smaller percentage than what epic is using, especially since Valve has 21 years of infrastructure to lean on.
They are “not losing much money” while providing a fraction of the services Steam does. They say 30% is too much, we can do it in 12% and yet they severely lack in social features, have no modding support, no VR support, no in-home streaming, no Remote Play Together, no Big Picture, no Family Sharing, a barely functioning Steamworks alternative, no Steam Deck support, no Linux support and absolutely zero open source contributions. That’s just the obvious stuff I can think of right now, every single menu you open in Steam you find a barebones menu in the EGS.
They don’t even need 21 years of infrastructure for most of these, they just need to fund development of it. Which they seem to be unwilling to do so.
- Comment on Remedy and Annapurna announce a strategic cooperation agreement on Control 2 5 months ago:
I’m not saying you should, I’m saying it doesn’t make them villains or a bad company.
But it does, paying third parties to not publish on your competitors platform is the oldest anti-competitive behaviour in the book.
It would have been completely fine if they started out with actually funding development of new games and only releasing them on their store.
I would have even given them some slack for their bad launcher since they were new to this.
Instead we are here, almost 6 years later. Their launcher is still trash, their exclusive deals were a complete money sink, EGS is still not profitable, they burned all bridges to Valve and are not one step closer to their claim that 30% is too much and they can do it with
8%12%. - Comment on Remedy and Annapurna announce a strategic cooperation agreement on Control 2 5 months ago:
They should have spent those millions to fund development of a store that can actually compete with the competition and studios that produce games, which they then can sell on their own platform.
Instead they snatched up every new release on the way to Steam while still not being able to provide the basic necessities of a modern PC store front.
So why should I bother purchasing something from them? They have nothing to offer and actively make it harder for me to play games through their store with their anti-Steam Deck stance.
