There’s some ageless classics. HoMM3 came out 25 years ago and is still pretty much the top of its genre. Freespace2 more or less shut down the spacesim genre 25 years ago, as well…

Windows malware: excited noises

If I know they are there then I either supervise visitors or trust them to not rummage/take my stuff. If that is your issue then keep your postit in a drawer; most people don’t keep their yubikeys in a securely bolted safe either.

If someone has access to your sticky note they’re already in your house, and that’s a bigger issue IMO… even from an itsec perspective, once the attacker has physical access to guarantee safety is difficult.

But seriously, there’s a guy in your house.

Any game that makes people actually move is good in my book.

Linux desktop and fusion energy have something in common, it seems.

SF somehow feels more fluid? intuitive? to play than MK.

But neither allows the balls to the walls insane shit Mugen lets you to conjure! Or well, IKEMEN nowadays.

Hearts of Iron 4, and Battletech 3062 Advanced.

Whelp, time to reinstall Deus Ex.

Pretty much has to be boilerplate tbh, as they can only fish out a response from the preapproved can.

Armored Core 6. Loved it to bits, and made me realise how badly I’d need good mecha games… haven’t had one since Battletech.

It depends. I use k8s a lot, and annoyingly enough we still happen to use cronjobs and bash scripts to “automate” certain tasks. Maybe it’s inertia, but bash is certainly easy to fall back to…

It’s all fun and games until you can’t even reboot cleanly because systemd isn’t responding…

Hope is the first step on the path towards disappointment.

At the same time, Armored Core 6 has pretty stunning visuals and runs pretty well even on a 2060. Almost like graphics can be done well with a good art style and optimisation, not just throwing more hardware at the issue.

Divinity 2: Dragon Knight Saga. Kirill made the most fantastic OST…

Second place is for Megaman Zero series I think. I still listen to those tracks to this day while running.

Isn’t that what Bard is for?

Configure and make are your best friends.

Just don’t worry about timely updates.

Oy, boosting regular guns? Interesting…

It depends if you are new to the game or not. There’s two big categories of mods - those that only perform modernization and quality of life features, and those that rework everything until it looks like Skyrim.

If you are new, I’d recommend not using any of the latter; they can be fun, but it’s good to know New Vegas “as is”, I’d say. Otherwise the selection is so big it’s hard to pick, I’m running like 30 or so (mostly extra weapons, enhanced AI, better crafting, extra sidequests and a player home). But just give an idea on the scope of mods, the settlement building system in FO4 was inspired by mods originally in New Vegas (Real Time Settler and Wasteland Defense), so there’s really a wide scope of things to pick from.

As for the former, there’s some that jump to mind - NVAC (New Vegas Anti-Crash), FNV 4GB memory patcher, stutter remover, nevada skies and/or EVE (essential visual enhacements), and probably a texture pack or two to enhance visuals. Maybe even NVSE, which is a scripting extension mod that other mods can/will need.
