It's kind of funny that all the people who thought they could reduce the cost and time to create gaming videos using LLMs, will soon have no audience because LLMs have driven up the price of RAM and GPUs so high no one will be able to afford to game any more

Oh, was für ein symphatisches Video von Steves ersten Gehversuchen unter Linux. Steve, das ist der eine von SPACE FROGS, sagt selbst über sich: „Ich bin kompletter Linux Noob.“ Und dann war er ganz schön beeindruckt, was unter #Linux geht.
Komischerweise haben ja viele, die sich öffentlich zum ersten Mal mit Linux beschäftigen, gehörige Angst vor den „Hardcore Linux Fans“ und entschuldigen sich häufig schon im Voraus, dass sie keine Ahnung von Linux haben. Aber das scheint ein reines Hörensagen-Ding zu sein, oder?

So I interviewed the developer who created and maintains GameSieve:
𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘚𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘯 𝘶𝘯𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭, 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘥-𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘺 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘎𝘖𝘎.𝘤𝘰𝘮
I've used it for the longest time now, if you're a fan of buying #gaming titles on #GOG then this one is worth its weight in gold!
I got to chat to the dev about why they created it, what goes into it, the ethos behind GameSieve, and more :)
If you're at all interested, have a read!

Game site called Loaded is having a sale and I was very amused that the second Pathfinder game is reduced to £1.49. In the end I bought the fancier version full of DLC for £9, but that tiny price had me laughing hard for a minute.
Possibly some aren’t selling well, idk. It’s an unusual site. They source cheaper codes and don’t have endless copies available so sometimes they sell out.
Also bought Tiny Tina’s Wonderland. I played some of the smaller standalone adventure (I forget the name) and it’s a bit cute, but both fun and funny. She’s a fabulous character, chaotic girl running the game which we see bits of her DM-ing between playing, and then there’s the rock music.
I’m tempted by Dragon’s Dogma 2, Broken Age and Cyberpunk 2077, but I want to check them out more.

#StreetFighter 4. It attracted such a big new fanbase that "’09ers" (the game released in 08) became a term of derision for "players new to the series."
It wasn't perfect, but it definitely, immediately had a feeling of "oh shit. Street Fighter is back. You need to play this."
Given that the series hadn't had a mainline entry since 1998 (SF3 3rd Strike), Street Fighter 4 looking good and feeling good to play saved the series, and also proved complicated 2D fighters were still popular enough to justify full releases.
The game and it's popularity kicked off the new wave of Fighting games, and also revitalized and expanded the arcade stick controller market.
It was wild. It was on consoles. It was in arcades. It was online. It was a moment.
What's the best GPU for playing older (as in early 2000s) games? Ideally on Windows XP SP3.
If I recall correctly they at some point dropped native support for some APIs which makes current gen (i)GPUs basically "not ideal" for these old games. Even when ran through e.g. a QEMU/KVM virtualisation layer.

So one wanted to play a game, a pretty old game, some 20+ years old but available through one of these new modern game launchers. A couple of hours free, let's have some fun! What can go wrong one would say?
So one starts the game launcher, immediately greeted by the prompt that the launcher needs updating. Ok, that should be quick, one thinks.... A couple of minutes, clicks and confirmation dialogs later the launcher is updated! Yay let's play! Oh wait they have new EULA and that needs confirmation too, ok. Then you are probably guessing a shiny new privacy policy (one could bet AI related) click... Click... CLICK... Accept... Whatever ... One is getting impatient, one wants that game... Done! No more prompts!
Finally let's start that shiny game with retro graphics! One clicks the game launcher icon.... Oh game needs updating too... But it is 20+ years old... Whyyyy..... Ok click download... Wait... And wait... And wait... Game download finished and installed... One is hesitant to click the game launcher again... Is new EULA for the game next? Or privacy policy....? Or...
One remembers the days when he first played that game... 25 years ago... On a hardware that was a fraction of one we have today... No internet connection needed... You take a single shiny CD, you place it in CD drive, drive spins happily adding to your excitement, autostart does it's magic and the game starts in all its glory without any icons clicked, updates or distractions... Just fun and simplicity... Happy days...
I've been playing Cities Skylines a bit lately to help my son out. It's been fun, and reminded me of why I love the game. It's not perfect, but it's pretty damn close.
Stupidly I decided to install Cities Skylines II again, thinking "Surely they'd fixed all the problems, in 2 years".
Nope. You can still build a beautiful grid of city, then suddenly it'll collapse, with zoning squares no long lining up, and roads becoming a random mess of zoning.
And, as usual, traffic, population, employment, etc is being fudged, along with new problems like weird fades to black after placing stuff, ghosting, etc.
It's an utter mess, and little surprise that Colossal Order were sacked by Paradox.
I don't hold up hope for anyone fixing it, let alone the mobile dev Paradox have stuck on it

#QuestionOfTheDay what's a piece of media/fiction where when it was good it was So Good in a way that's hard to explain in retrospect to people who weren't experiencing it linearly because it never ended up fulfilling its promise. Not that it necessarily has to end up being bad but that it never reached or paid off that high again.
(Game of Thrones I imagine to a lot of people is one, as an example)

#TechRadar Among a host of reveals, these were our favorite announcements at The Game Awards 2025 https://techrad.ar/34FM #Gaming
Mul on karsee flunssaolo, mut pakko testata CachyOSissa pelaamista. Tuli tilaisuus kokeilla Hogwarts Legacy Epic Gamesista. Haluan kokeilla pystyykö Cachyssa pelaa normaalisti, kuten Windowsilla.
1. Asensin Heroic (Epic Games).
2. Asensin HL. Piti luoda pelille oma kansio. Määritin wine > proton-cachyos.
3. Peli käynnistyy ongelmitta. Grafiikka-asetukset laitan aluksi LOWille. Pientä tahmaisuutta havaittavissa. Käynnistän koneen uudestaan.
4. Asennan Mangohud tarkistaakseni GPU%, CPU% ja FPS. Peli käynnistyy taas normaalisti. Grafiikka on bootin jälkeen hieman parempi. Ei tahmaisuutta havaittavissa. Mutta FPS voisi olla isompi. Nostetaan grafiikka MEDIUMiin. Testi kesken, päivitän tiedon myöh tästä.
5. Asennan nyt gamemoden ja testaan.
6. Testataan langattoman Xbox ohjainten yhteensopivuus Cachyn kanssa ja tunnistaako peli ohjaimet. Tätä testataan myöhemmin.
Päivitän postauksen. Tilanne elää.

Claire Obscure won the Game Awards.👏
Congratulation, and let me say it's completely deserved.
Even though I wanted to hurt someone who designed attack patterns of some bosses (yeah I know, I'm lame😆) , the game is awesome in gameplay, music and especially in graphics design😍.
Aaand now my son wants me to buy Cities Skylines DLC.
At least he isn't playing Cities Skylines 2... makes me sad just thinking about it
Wow, Epic leading their Christmas games shit with a REALLY bad choice.
Not only is it Harry "I hate trans people" Potter, but the lead developer was outed as a straight up Gamergate/alt-right/Nazi type
Yeh, hard pass on this one, and I'm now questioning allowing my kids access to Epic games

Grabbed wifey a Switch 2 so she'll have a new game to play (Bananza) on her upcoming break. I did try some Mario Kart World, it's a blast, of course. Gotta have the kid over eventually to fully take advantage of that one. The graphics are crispy on this thing, and the screen is quite a bit bigger. And a rounded charger base. 😂😂

Well, Anbernic sent me their VERY #Nintendo DSi-ish handheld to review a little while back. After an interesting first week (they had a desync issue where the top screen ended up running at 40 Hz while the bottom stayed at 60 Hz), they fixed the issue with an update.
I spent a LOT of time with this handheld, and honestly...I'm one of the vert few who loved it :)
