Finished the second Control expansion, AWE, it wasn't too long but still fun.  I really like the gameplay for control in general.  Wish there was more coming but it looks like we could finally get a Alan Wake 2, OR, even better, a AW and Control crossover game.

I loved Alan Wake but I just could not get into Control as all. Maybe I am getting older (as I play less and less games nowadays and to be honest only Witcher 2,3 and and PS4 exclusives such as Unchanged and Last of Us made me really interested and involved..

 

But the fact that I did love Uncharted 4 and Witcher 3 showed me that the games can still be amazing - it's just that I don't like average stories anymore and I expect a story worthy of a movie with the great gameplay.

 

Maybe that is why for casual escapism I liked all the TellTale games. I want an interactive story. Witcher was the only game that was actually challenging, that I liked.

 

I used to be fan of point and click rather then hardcore shooters.. though I loved fighting games too.

 

All the call of duty games that came out in last 10 years - I tried to like them but just could not do it and get bored.

 

I do have great hopes for Cyberpunk that comes out for my birthday - as something that will get me enjoying games again

Finally picked up the Batman Telltale series games recently. Finished the first game a couple weeks ago and absolutely loved it. I'm about to start episode 2 of Enemy Within now.

I played all of those.  Good series and I enjoyed those as well.

Started playing Far Cry 5 last night, only 1hr in but it's what I've come to expect from the series.

Make sure you play New Dawn as well.  I also enjoyed Primal.

MAFIA - DEFINITIVE EDITION.

 

 

fantastic game, i played the original at the release, but it did not age well.    mafia 2 was not great and mafia 3 was a buggy dissapointment all around.

 

however, after positive reviews i have bought the Mafia 1 remake, and DAMN, i am having a lot of fun again. love it. the gameplay is dated, the cover mechanics are minimal and gun play does not improve, but the story and the graphics and the city and the general vibe of the game - DAMN,  i am totally happy to pay for it.  

 

great game remake, that almost makes up for Hangar 13 next "failures" LOL -   looking forward what they can produce next - they clearly have NOT lost the passion to make a great experience!

I've restarted The Witcher 3 GOTY, and really enjoying it, can't wait for RTX patch!

which skill tree are  you focusing, i had no patience for alchemy (i tried),  then i have beat the game with combat focus, and then with sign focus  - both are much easier to keep up with, while i enjoyed the story.

I tried playing this on my PS4 Pro but the load times killed it for me, so I'm waiting until the PS5 turns up to enjoy the goodness.

I started it, but I don't think I was really prepared for the hours needed to progress. I've just started rewatching the Netflix series though and now I've got an itch to give it another go. It's just a pity that my PS4 is in a different country to me at the moment. :laugh:

I finished Far Cry 5, ughh that ending.  Now I jumped into Ace Combat 7, long time Ace Combat fan growing up.  I had started playing this before FC5 actually but left it to the side for a bit.

Detroit Become Human.

First go was on PS4 - this time on PC

 

I love the interactive dramas like that.

 

I tried to play differently then the last time and managed to see some new parts of the story 

 

Still it was hard and some parts of the story played out exactly the same ;) as I was just selecting the choices that felt right to me.

 

Amazing experience though that I could not put down this weekend. (note I love interactive dramas more then hardcore gameplay - and I used to love point and click games before - so story matters more to me then anything else)

Started a new playthrough of Life is Strange recently. I love how the game does a good job of covering mental health and a bunch of other things while still being a fun story experience.

Yeah I really enjoyed the game. Wasn't the best graphically but had a decent story.

 

Started playing Watch Dogs 2 again and I don't know....The driving in this game is terrible which can make moving around the game a pain. I feel the camera had a mind of it's own. 

 

Actual stealth/hacking gameplay is solid. Love that you're just tossed into a situation and you can tackle it in a number of ways. Story is meh.

Finished Darksiders 3, hope a 4th is on the way so we can see how this whole story arc ends.   The delay in cyberpunk has me looking at something else to play now, but I don't want a long game again.  Might play through some of these smaller indie titles I have.

because of the delay of cyberpunk, i decided to finally try Red Dead Redemption 2....  big mistake... LOL...  

 

I MUST NOT SPEND THE HOURS ON IT, I RESERVED THEM FOR CYBERPUNK... or so i keep saying to myself.   why why why did i try it...

 

EDIT: I am also trying  C&C and Red Alert Remaster - i use to LOVE those games soo soo very much, but they are doing nothing for me now.   honestly, i might need more paitience to get into the control and gameplay again, this is not a casual pickup fun i was hope it would be.

I think that game has a love hate relationship, alot of people can't get enough and for others like myself i found it far too slow, so after a year of trying to get into it  i gave up and sold it.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By Yogurth · Posted

      The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off by Ivan Jenic The Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system is currently $239.99 on Amazon for the 2-pack, down from $329.99. That's 27% off and $90 saved for a solid Wi-Fi solution that covers your entire home (purchase link down below). The 2-pack covers up to 4,000 square feet (372 square meters) and supports 100+ connected devices, which handles the vast majority of home setups without breaking a sweat. Wi-Fi 6E brings access to the 6 GHz band for lower latency across the network, and the 2.5 Gb Ethernet port supports gigabit+ internet plans if your ISP offers them. eero's TrueMesh technology handles traffic routing automatically, so you're not manually managing which devices connect to which node. You set up the entire thing through the eero app, and the entire process takes a few minutes. The system also receives automatic security updates in the background, so once you set it up, you don't have to worry about compatibility issues. If you're covering a larger home or want more nodes, the 3-pack is $329.99 and the 4-pack is $479.98, both at similar discount levels. It's worth mentioning that a newer model exists, which is likely the reason for the discount, but the Pro 6E is still perfectly capable hardware for most homes.

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.
