I bought the Metroidvania Mania bundle. I already had two of the games. If someone wants them, I can gift Axiom Verge and 9 Years of Shadow.

I haven't really touched any of these games in a long time, other than to reinstall on Linux to see if they work. As @twonha said, as much as I enjoyed the SC games when I played them, I never really had the urge to replay them. I think Pandora Tomorrow is the only one that does not work on...

Knox Goes Away I liked it. Michael Keaton plays a hitman who has rapidly progressing dementia. He has to figure out how to solve his remaining problems as his memory fails him.

American Fiction was pretty good.

Ricky Stanicky A comedy from one of the Farelly brothers. Not one that is going to be a classic of particularly memorable. But it was a decent comedy.

No I don't think so. The Power Disable feature is a feature meant for data centers. Apparently it allows you to remotely power down a hard drive. I also recently bought a new power supply. I was using a Corsair Gold AX750 for a long time. I think it was one of the earlier gold rated PSUs...

I picked up a refurbished 12TB hard drive on eBay from goharddrive. I've seen a lot of these deals lately. They are supposedly used in datacenters and are being cycled through. For $80 I figured it's worth the gamble. These have the Power Disable feature, so they don't boot up on a regular...

Breaking up with Slack and Discord: why it's time to bring back forums

I finished Gen V. Overall, I think it was fine. Pretty similar feel to The Boys. Probably the criticism I had was that it was too similar to The Boys, while the Boys is still running. So the concern is that they're milking the series a little too much. Sort of like how Fear the Walking Dead...

I used to only play one game at a time, and play it until I was done with it. Then move onto the next game. Now I usually rotate through two games at a time. Usually one longer game (like a big RPG) that takes a bit more focus. And another secondary game, that's a bit less intense. More...

I don't have much to go on for this one, because I just vaguely remember a demo for a game I played years ago. I don't have much to go on for a search because I'm not even sure if I'm remembering this stuff correctly. Here are the few things I sort of remember: - I remember playing the demo...

This forum is pretty dead, so I thought I'd post something here. Here is a quick guide on getting amdgpu and Vulkan going for Southern Islands cards. This will give better support for Proton. I'm on Linux Mint 19.1 and have a HD7850. This works on kernel 4.15 and 4.18. For some reason, I...

Just to be clear up front, they are offering a refund. So it's not something underhanded. Here's the email they send: Price mistakes happen, and I'm not going to act outraged because I didn't get the deal that I thought I was going to get. What kind of surprises me is how long this took...

https://steamcommunity.com/games/221410/announcements/detail/1696055855739350561 There's been a lot of rumours about this lately. A number of gaming compatibility projects have been getting funded from undisclosed sources and many speculated it was Valve. Looks like Valve is using their own...

Vivaldi Browser - a new browser for our friends From Opera founder Jon S. von Tetzchner. Looks like it could be a replacement for Opera 12. It already has Speed Dial, bookmarks, top/side/bottom tabs, Notes, a side panel, customizable shortcuts, rocker gestures, fast forward, mouse gestures...
