20th anniversary celebration

Comes with a long list of fixes and updates.

Episode 1 and 2 are now bundled with HL2.

Mostly Lemmy. Mastodon sometimes – I have to spend more time there muting RSS bot accounts to find stuff of my interest.

Dipping my toes into Bluesky as well. So far it’s been good – very polished experience.

I also lurk quite a bit on Tildes.net.

Also being given away this week: Apex Legends™: Ash Free Unlock Bundle

If you’re running Linux, you’re unfortunately out of luck.

Fix for issue occasionally preventing Adaptive brightness from activating in certain conditions

Just ran into this issue a few moments ago heh. Glad to see a fix is incoming.

Adored the game. It’s fun and I love the chill vibes. I wish the in-game map was a bit better to make navigation easier.

I’m all for cat games. Stray, Little Kitty Big City – gimme more!

Greatly appreciate the followup!

Love your write ups!

A dumpster fire of a situation. 8 years of development, $400 million reported budget, game shut down after 2 weeks and now the studio closed.

AAA gaming is a hot mess right now.

Could you try the steps in this post and see if they work?

It’s in my library already. Must’ve been given out as a freebie in the past.

Upgraded to Android 15 with no issues on my 6a, but stuff like this is concerning.

Sony is so annoying with their mandatory PSN requirement.

Started Hellblade II during the weekend. Visually it’s the most impressive game I’ve played so far.

What I struggle with is keeping up with the story and all of the runestones and dialogue and everything. I enjoyed Hellblade I but had to go through the plot on Wikipedia after completing the game to understand what I had just played.

Third one’s stated for release next year.

The article undersells the amount that’s been leaked. Taking a look at the X/Twitter account the article linked to, there are beta sprites of gen 3/4/5 Pokemon being shared. Allegedly the source code for Black 2/White 2 is out there as well.

No mention of Qi2. Any reason why we aren’t seeing more adoption of it?

Tried the demo for it a while ago. So eerie.

Definitely want to give it a try in the future.
