Google’s extension of RCS does do e2ee, which raises the question of “what happens to security when you talk to a non-Google user”…

I couldn’t really get into Witcher 3. It was more the combat than the story but the story didn’t interest me much either…

for me, Horizon Zero Dawn was the real “wow, open-world storytelling can be that good and not classic Bethesda nonsense” moment

Air travel is quite polluting, of course I would expect such companies to have a PR budget focused on that kind of thing…

I preordered it on Steam and played on a big PC as soon as possible, it looked incredible to me, the initial release did crash occasionally but I always found it strange how much attention that instability got compared to how Todd Howard games are just casually permitted to be comically buggy.

Keeping out a vendor-specific one in favor of a vendor-agnostic one seems actually positive to me. That vendor-specific “superiority” must be fought.

I loved True Colors as well.

People have hacked a lot of those onto the old official engine actually (MGE XE) :D OpenMW is more focused on fundamentals than on the flashy stuff, but AFAIK currently has great fog support and the ability to load custom shaders from mods

What would even be the point of an official remaster when you can combine the OpenMW engine with a mod pack? And there’s Skywind the great remake still in the making…

The real core difference is that XMPP just passes messages around (and history is just bolted on as an extra thingy between you and your server), while Matrix is literally a federated database of message history.

Nethack is an amazing deep system to explore and learn about… but it’s not that fun to play (at least once you’ve already been to the late game). It’s more fun to read NetHackWiki than to actually play the game IMO. It would be a huge downgrade from DCSS, which is carefully designed to be fun.

Used to when I had the space and setup (had a Samsung Odyssey+), sadly didn’t get to finish HL:Alyx.

I’m surprised that Ctrl+F “Superhot” → 0 matches, that one was amazing to complete
