With the prepaid live gold cards and gold to ultimate 1:1 conversion rate, game pass had really great value. I played quite a number of games that had flown under my radar over the ~4years I was subscribed.

Obviously I bailed, since they killed all conversion enticements and price hiked it to ludicrous levels.

Oh so there is a proper name for this ! I have had those once in a while since I was a kid, and still get them well into my forties.

I do still remember the anxiety the first time it happened.

He manages to toot his own horn and be completely tone-deaf in a single sentence.

For me the must-have are:

• Democratic Detonation (everything)
• Freedom’s Flame (fire resist armors and cookout)
• Servants of Freedom (ultimatum and hellbomb)

Then optionally:

• Dust Devils (elemental resist armors, coyote and harpoon)
• Control Group (warp pack, epoch)
• Urban Legend (siege-ready armors, AT emplacement)

Yeah cooking chargers from the front never got old for me while it was a thing. We’ll see about that new device soon. Hopefully it werfs good flammen.

It sure looks hot as freedom, but belt-fed support weapons have been underwhelming so far. If it can kill heavies efficiently, I can certainly see myself using it.

He does take portals in the games. But he is quite vocal about hating them.

KeePass features a built-in synchronization mechanism. I store my password file on google drive for ease of access on multiple devices. I set up triggers (on save, on custom button) to sync between the local copy and the cloud copy, using this guide: https://keepass.info/help/kb/trigger_examples.html#dbsync

Not a turnkey solution, but once setup it works like a charm.

This game looks like a major flop in the making. It seems like they are trying to appeal to the Fortnite crowd with those flashy visuals and style.

Overall they are making some weird moves with Horizon, trying to expand it into a multi-genre license. This is a lot to put on a game which could have been a one-shot with a powerful story. The sequel felt kind of forced story-wise and don’t get me started about its ending.

Sysinternals (winternals) tools are so useful ! There is something for everyone there (TcpView, ProcExp are my personal go-tos). MS was well inspired to buy it and hire M. Russinovich.

DRG never fails to impress. One of my favorite mission-based coop games of all time (along with Helldivers 2 and Vermintide 2). I’ll be dabbling into some Ossuary exploration for sure.

Toujours bon de ne pas mettre tous ses oeufs dans le même panier.

Quick let’s rebrand LibreOffice to LibrePilot ! Wait no it’s already taken. And also a braindead move.

I got a lot of mileage off my SD with Steamworld games, and they are very cheap right now : SteamWorld Essentials

And if you’re in the mood for puzzle platformers, the Trine games run beautifully : Trine: Ultimate Collection

I opted into the prod_slim beta and it works as advertised. 22.01 GB on my SSD and the game is running the same as before, as far as I can tell.

I like the enthusiasm, but I’m sure you realize why Jellyfin is more suitable for mainstream use. The pretty web UI, user management, watch tracking and device-specific clients are what makes the software actually useful if you want to serve media to “normal” people.

Je suis en train de lire le manga Knights of Sidonia. L’auteur, Tsutomu Nihei, est connu notamment pour BLAME!, et ce manga est marqué du même genre d’étrangeté et malaise.

A part ça en attendant le dernier volume de la saga Sun Eater de C. Ruocchio, je lis les spinoffs de la saga principale.

It’s unlikely you can prevent install or remove entire features when Microsoft does not want you to. Depends on how baked-in they make it. More often than not it’s a game of whack-a-mole where you find out what toggles are available that disable stuff you do not want.

More unwanted bloat to disable, I guess.
