Now, Dishonored 2, (I think, i have to play it twice, 1st with Emily, and 2nd with Old Master Corvo)

 

I have barely started both games on PS4.  I know they should be good but i just cannot seem to seriously get into them for some reason, even though i KNOW they are the type of games i like. 

 

for dishonored 2 double playthrough...

Spoiler

i dont think there is much point to playing twice, the reviews said it is not worth it... unless you really must do it, and want a slightly different experience...

 

 

 

for now i am  playing telltale games - gonna play new batman episode now.  

i really like short story driven games they release - walking dead is the best, borderlands and game of thrones was great fun too. 

 

I am waiting for new uncharted - that i would play.

Man, I can't get into Oblivion anymore. As much as I'd love to replay it, it seems to be the buggiest of the Elder Scrolls games, and is arguably the worst when it comes to modding and instability. I can only hope that Skyblivion development progresses well enough, as I've been watching the devs do live streams on YouTube. Don't know that it'd be any less buggy though. :p

 

As for games, currently playing:

 

Skyrim: Special Edition

Overwatch

PUBG

FFX Remastered

Pokemon: Omega Ruby

Really Really Bad Chess (mobile)

I was playing regular old vanilla TES IV so I didn't have any issues with crashes etc, but it was just to satisfy that adventuring itch I had. I really dislike the Oblivion sections of the game, but I love exploring Cyrodiil. No doubt Skyblivion / Wind will be buggy, but who knows when they will be released! We might have TES VI by then :p:laugh:

Have been learning how to play League of Legends with a friend of mine here lately.  It's actually quite fun, :-)  We live streamed a few games earlier just for fun.  Apparently I need to crank up the volume of my mic.

 

My favorite moment of this is at 23:10

Pretty good!

 

The only thing I'd suggest is maybe put an overlay up on the stream, juuust in case you get any personal notifications before you start a game.

Playing some GTA (playing through it again on my Xbox One) and some Titanfall 2 occasionally. I'd like to revisit the SP campaign too and get some of the achievements and helmets.

360:

Castlevania LoS 1+2

Fable Anniversary

 

Switch / Wii:

Donkey Kong Country Returns

Splatoon 2 - finally decided to tryout the game with my 4G hotspot and my god it's awesome :D I've heard a few of the UK networks don't work with matchmaking, but I was very happy mine worked flawlessly!

Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 - I'm still in love with the OSTs 10 years later. Nothing comes close to besting them :heart:

I can't for the life of me find enough time to finish the Witcher 3, over 114hrs in so far and I don't think I'm half done. :p   Work keeps getting in the way!

Well then you will have to quit work then! :p You will have enough time to play then! :rofl:

I think I finished it in 120 hours. I did not have the patience to do all the side quests though  but I did many.

 

The expansion packs are really cool also. That is another 40 or so hours

Yeah, I bought the GoTY edition off of GoG with the two DLC backs from the start, which is why I'm doing all the side missions to get my level up to the 30+ i need so I can do these DLC missions that are listed, I'm only at lvl 26 atm, too hard to try any lvl 33-35 DLC stuff.

Well, don't give up.  This game expansion packs are superb :)    Also, much better when you binge, or at least play in 2-3 hour intervals, rather then short play sessions.  I finished it when I was home sick.   Made me forget I was even feeling sick.

I finally got around to get a switch and play Breath of the Wild, I was wondering why "everyone" was so excited about that game... It's not bad, but I have to say, the main advantage I find compared to every other open world out there nowadays, is the fact that I can take the switch with me and keep playing on the train when I go to work. Otherwise I'd feel like the game is too slow and the map is to big for me to enjoy with the limited time I can afford for it, just like all these other open worlds.

The Frozen Wilds expansion dropped for Horizon Zero Dawn a couple of days ago, I like what they've done, Aloy has always adjusted her walk/run fluidly to match her environment. In FW, it goes further, she wades through heavy snow, and leaves tracks and ruts up to a foot deep in the tundra. New machines to kill, a word of warning, tried and tested methods of old game do not work, on the hardest setting, you'll be hilariously out matched. New content, new weapons, new armour...

    • BATorrent 3.0.2 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 3.0.2 changelog: Phone pairing & WebUI The browser WebUI was reskinned to match the desktop app — same dark palette, Inter font, flat surfaces, the real BATorrent logo (it was a random bat before), and a proper magnet icon. It now looks like the same product, not a separate dashboard. Pairing is one tap and zero typing: the generated WebUI password is now copyable, and the QR code carries the credentials — scanning it from your phone logs straight in (no typing the IP or password), then drops the credentials from the address bar. Search Two new providers: RuTor (CIS sources, no login, via a public TorAPI relay) and Torrents-CSV. Results are sorted by seeders (healthiest first), and each search now times out after 15 s so one dead provider can't hang the UI. Files & trackers Per-file priority is back: right-click a file in the detail panel to set Skip / Low / Normal / High. Rename an individual file inside a torrent (double-click or the file menu), separate from renaming the torrent. Remove a tracker from a torrent (the ✕ on a tracker row); adding was already there. Smart Paste on Ctrl+V — paste a magnet, a 40-char info-hash, or a .torrent URL straight from the clipboard and it's added immediately (text fields still paste text normally). Covers & titles Anime fansub naming ([Group] Title - NN) now resolves to the right show. Audio channel layouts in titles (DDP5.1, 7.1, …) are stripped so they don't pollute cover matching. Under the hood The legacy QWidget interface is gone. QML had been the only UI since 3.0.0 (reachable old code lived behind a hidden --legacy flag); with parity confirmed, the entire QWidget layer — main window, every dialog, the theme manager — was removed (~13,400 lines). The four restored actions above were features that backend already supported but the QML port had never wired. macOS: the WebUI password hash moved out of the keychain into app settings, so launching the app no longer pops a login-keychain password prompt on unsigned builds. The actual password still lives in the keychain. Cleanup: ~400 orphaned translation strings and a batch of dead code removed; internal duplication collapsed; an ARCHITECTURE.md added for contributors. Unit / security / memory tests and the ASan/UBSan/TSan sanitizers stay green.

    • How about a global switch to turn the awful things off instead of a registry hack? Then everyone wins.
    • This doesn't strike me as so shocking when... " IT admins do have some control over this rollout. If they choose to opt out, devices in their tenant won't automatically get the dreaded Copilot app"
