    I’m gonna be honest, I don’t like the amount of power big corporations have. Nintendo is currently abusing their power to stifle their competition and potentially harm the future of gaming. Google recently proved that they have pretty much full control over the internet. Microsoft is ruining the entire PC market. I could name more but these are the first few that came to mind.













  • The Reddit community is part of the reason I stopped playing RuneScape a few years ago. The in-game community was fine for the most part, as players would mostly keep to themselves or just talk with their own groups. But the subreddit would get super offended/aggressive towards each other for the stupidest things and the mods always seemed to make things worse.

    I’ve always been of the believe that all online games with subscription services should always be $60 a year at most. If you do the math, $60 a year per player is way more than what single-player games make and maintaining/updating online games doesn’t require as much work as making brand new games either.

    And yes, I’m aware of the whole thing with the bonds and how they technically allow you to play the game for free but, at least compared to the old prices, they aren’t as efficient as just buying a member and Jagex makes more money off of them. So, I still think that Jagex shouldn’t change the membership prices.



  • The thing that I don’t understand is that, if this is such a big problem for Microsoft, why not just remove the system requirements or at least make an alternative version of Windows 11 that, even if it lacks certain features, doesn’t have those requirements?

    Microsoft wants people to switch to Windows 11 but a majority stay with Windows 10 because their systems don’t have what’s required and they’re either not willing to use Linux or they can’t for what ever their reason is. Making Windows 11 more accessible to Windows 10 users would fix this problem for most users but they’re not for some reason. I know they’re Microsoft and Microsoft doesn’t care about their users but they’re seemingly willing to lose a significant portion of their users over something so insignificant, which is out of character for Microsoft.



  • While I normally use whatever the default keyboard app is, I do sometimes use Unexpected Keyboard. It doesn’t have auto-correct but it has more keys available than even normal keyboards do. It may take some getting used to though as, for example, to use the “alts” for each key, you have to swipe in that direction. So for example if you wanted to press “Esc” with the default settings, you’d press q and swipe diagonally down and to the right.

    For customization, I don’t know if you can add images or gifs but there is some visual options and you have pretty much full control over the layout of the keyboard and what keys it has.

    I can provide some examples if you are looking for something specific but to list some games that haven’t been mentioned yet, there’s:

    The Touhou games along with the remixes/covers and fan games like the two “Touhouvania” games.

    Most of the Castlevania games.

    Most of the Sonic games and fan games like Sonic After the Sequel and SRB2.

    And to go with something really obscure, Chaos Legion.


  • There are currently two main reasons I don’t use PeerTube:

    1. Videos have inconsistent playback performance.
    2. It’s pretty confusing and difficult to use if you are just looking for an experience similar to YouTube.

    If they can find a way to make playback performance consistent and make the entire experience better, then I’d consider using it. But, I already use YouTube alternatives like Odysee and Rumble, so I don’t know how much I’d end up actually using PeerTube.
