For those unaware, there is also Heroes of Science and Fiction, which is essentially homm 3 with a fresh scifi coat of paint and lots of qol stuff. It’s in early access but man it catches the vibe so well.

Users who have already updated their phones to Android 16 can even tap into some system-level protection with the new “Network notifications” option
Wanna bet that feature will soon be cut by google? For your safety of course.
I imagined the law would be enforced by a deal with google and some global android state approved keylogger/backdoor completely bypassing all apps including Signal. But yeah, I’m having trouble wrapping my brain around this.
I don’t understand how this “threat” is supposed to work. If the law passes won’t any and all chat encryption be affected? In that case it doesn’t matter how you get the app, or if you manage to get it in europe. Its encryption will be broken/unavailable.
It’s not that bad. I have an older nxpaper phone and really loved the screen. It is indeed a glorified matte protector, but it felt really easy to read on. It also has a “low blue light” mode, a black and white mode and low brightness. I was longing for an 8incher with that screen and honestly would’ve gotten this if I hadn’t already bought an android e-ink device.
Seeing the series’ progression so far, I just know microsoft will stuff it full of FOMO crap and monetization, as well as a lot of AI generated stuff ( which, admittedly, may not be all bad ). But still, I’m pretty excited for it.
Time to fire up Anno 2205
I loved him in mafia, he had such a recognizable voice. Almost bought Mindseye because of him lol.
But seriously, I wish him luck and hope he doesn’t give up on games.
What he means is that while his memes are in general universally applicable, this one is a US-thing.
I think that sadly you still have to go to nvidia for low power gpus. Amd have gotten better, but they don’t sip ower quite as good. On the other hand, if you"re running a 4k/144 setup, neither card will truly be idling and the differences might be insignificant, so a 9070 could do.
Also found this thread on ltt forums with some numbers.
Based on this ( admittedly anecdotal evidence ) the 5070 would be low-power king.
Does anybody have the original study? I tried to find it but the link is dead ( looks like NANDA pulled it )
Finally, some competition for scs. From the trailer it doesn’t look like it will be a sim tho. Maybe a story driven teucking game?
Damn. The original was (to me) the highlight of many, many lan-parties.
I see it didn’t take long for polygon to turn into a clickbait factory post-layoffs
Thanks. Yeah, I did try it. Must’ve replayed it a few dozen times since it released. Another masterpiece, that one. Might give it another run after 2.4 is out, lol.
I just sort of ignored it initially thinking it will definitely flop after seeing a trailer or two. But I played it recently after a legendary edition replay and it’s an ok game. The story and characters are pretty uninspired, there’s no escaping that, but the gameplay, the combat, the exploration vibe all click. It also looks great. And the new mako is brilliant.
Do it. All mass effects are great. Even Andromeda ( despite the lackluster story )
I’ve been itching for a similar game these past few weeks and I swear there is nothing contemporary that is quite like Mass Effect. KOTOR is close, but is has aged like milk ( graphically ). Maybe the deus exes? I am still open to suggestions.
Also you’ll want to play the legendary edition, I think they fixed some of the less pleasant gameplay quirks ME1 used to have.
Had to be Bioware. Someone else might have gotten it wrong.
Even if they wanted to bank on the adblocker thing I imagine they can’t because they have to stay in Google’s good graces. Like 90% of their revenue was google money, and has been for years now.
At this point I’d honestly even pay for a privacy focused mozilla browser that is clean of all this crap, just to keep them afloat, but fat chance of that happening.
In increasing order of casualness I recommend: Elite Dangerous->X3/X4->Everspace/Everspace 2-> No Man’s Sky.
Everspace 2 is a spiritual successor to Freelancer, so probably your best bet ( Everspace 1 is more roguelike, but holds up nicely ). Speaking of Freelancer, I hear the game is still alive and has a vibrant community around it.
If you ever want to revisit Elite shoot me a message, I may help you with starting up. They say Elite doesn’t have a learning curve but a cliff, so help is usually needed. Luckily the game has the most welcoming and helpful community I’ve seen in/around a video game.
Other than these, there’s Chorus, but I haven’t played that one and it seems more story driven than open-ended.
