Fucking buy the game already. It’s one of the best games I’ve ever played.

It’s worth full price. Very, very few games are worth the full price.

I’d buy this game again on Steam if I could.

Debating finally picking up Hellblade II since it’s 75% off. This holiday I’m planning on playing Hi-Fi RUSH so I might hold off since I’ll be busy with that game. The spouse and I are also considering playing Jedi Survivor (if it’s cheap enough and we’re happy picking up two copies) or Clair Obscur. With these games lined up, I’m on the fence for Hellblade and probably will wait.

I thought that was the intent of the reboot trilogy. At the end of Shadow of the Tomb Raider, she is hardened now and gets her second pistol. But I played that once back in 2018 so I don’t remember exactly how that game went with themes.

Doubt.

Proton export CLI utility takes 13 minutes.

Every few years I replay both Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age.

Graphene will be working with a new OEM partner, as they officially announced. We should expect to hear who the OEM will be in 2026-2027.

Same here. It’s a tight-knit, pretty small community for now. If it ever grows much bigger, it’ll be a lot harder to recognise users.

We just need more persons out there commenting and posting (not bots).

“They already have my information anyway.”

“Oh, what are they gonna do with my info? Who cares that I searched for X and Y? LOL.”

Me, a software engineer working for a major cSaaS provider that partners with other companies that specialise in Mobile Real User Monitoring, Open Telemetry, Bluetooth beacons, etc.: “Eh, no idea what they do with that info. Now let me just ignore all these non-anonymized analytics, spans, traces, and metrics that these companies capture about your devices and the health of their applications and infrastructure.”

I stopped bringing these things up years ago. Can’t explain this to persons who don’t care or are not remotely close to being tech savvy. Let them be content and enjoy the things they enjoy.

Take a salt tablet, cowboy. Get back in that saddle. If it still hurts, chug some Pepto Bismol. We got work to do.

Currently playing Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition. Had a slow start but finally picked up and became more interesting with the morally gray characters. Interested to see how this game will rank among other Tales of games I played and loved.

I can hear this GIF. Seared into my brain from when I was a teen.

I had the same problem too. Many years ago in December the final weeks when businesses are slow, I painstakingly went through and edited every single one of my accounts one at a time and changed emails. If there was a legacy thing I couldn’t access or a system that wouldn’t let you change your email, then I discarded it. How do you eat a dinosaur? One bite at a time.

Through my investment in time, all my accounts are managed via the method I commented above. I own my email, and I control how I get contacted.

I’ve been off Gmail for years and deleted all my Google accounts. Here’s how you can do it, too.

Step 1: Export your emails from Gmail into an EML file.

Step 2: Sign up for a new paid email provider: Tuta, Mailbox.org, Proton to name a few.

Step 3: Import your emails.

Done.

Optional Steps (that I recommend):

1. Buy your own domain name (e.g., YourSurnameEmail.com)
2. Set up your email provider to use your Custom Domain name. Or alternatively, sign up for a service like Addy.io and use your domain name there to create alias emails.
3. Go to your domain name manager and add the settings your email provider tells you to use. This will enable your domain name to serve emails.
4. Start sending and receiving emails using your own custom email address that belongs to you.
5. Don’t like your email provider after a few years? Simply find a new one. Change your domain name settings to point your domain name to your new email provider. All your email addresses stay with you and you NEVER have to change email addresses again.
6. Swap every email login you have to use a new alias email. For example, facebook123@yoursurname.com for Facebook, random.word123@yoursurname.com for some web site login, Steam123@yoursurname.com for Steam gaming, etc. Save all credentials to your password manager.

With this, you now have a unique email address for every single service, and all those alias email addresses forward your email to your actual email address. The benefit is that no one knows your real email address except you. Bye bye SPAM. When an alias email gets leaked or sold, you’ll know which company failed you. Simply swap to a different alias email, and disable the compromised alias - all SPAM stops.

Any interest in idle games? If you’re up for a cozy and relaxing one, you can try Idle Slayer which is free. Play when you want, easy game, incremental progress. I play it on occasion on Steam.

Old man wearing loaded diaper that smells like pig shit calls reporter “piggy”.

Man I would’ve been pissed if I saw this, and hadn’t finished Hades. What a spoiler!

I think the “A” picture is from one of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians movies. I recognise that sword.

Loved this phone. I had the Nokia Lumia 920 in yellow. Fantastic user experience back in the day, but unfortunately no apps.
