I don’t have any issues when loading the page on Firefox Mobile with UBO. It looks fine, no popups or scam style hijacks.


Does Genshin allow you to play as Winnie the Pooh (doesn’t have to be the US version, the Fyodor Khitruk version looks cool too)?

This short discussion thread has feedback from a person who tried the latest demo and they were impressed.

I tried the demo from late last year and I thought it had potential. I liked the setting and the customization options.

Star Ruler 2. If you choose a map with ~450 systems, it plays more like a space economic strategy game, as opposed to the RTS/4X hybrid of the default map settings.


Molyneux almost seems to reflexively say something stupid every time he gets an opportunity to do so. Or perhaps this is just a PR trick?






I played Legacy for an hour purely out of curiosity. It was absolute shit. Boring, uninspired, “worst of mobile” gameplay, generic visuals, multiplayer tacked on in a way that doesn’t enhance the gameplay. I will speculate they simply repurposed the Legacy engine for Masters of Albion.

It’s almost certainly going to be terrible.

If you want a business sim, you would be far better of looking at the Capitalism series, Industry Giant 2 (it holds up pretty even after 20+ years) or perhaps Big Ambitions.


For sure, I missed that (and the fact Valve seems to be deploying protections as well).

The commentary about Windows Defender was just a random remark in passing. I wasn’t expecting the WinRAR zero day to be addressed (it’s a zero day after all), but the malware itself (the Monero miner) was around for a while (current version at the time was at least a year old) and WD had zero protections against its methods (that did not use the WinRAR zero day, that was the entry point).

That being said, I do think this more of an edge case. WD works pretty well in my experience (especially for non-power users).


It’s unlikely that Masters of Albion will be his return to form.

It looks to be largely based on his previous “game”, Legacy, which was a crypto/NFT scam.


I didn’t know that Windows Defender essentially blocked the vulnerability.

I will also note that there can be situations when Windows Defender doesn’t work.

I got hit by a WinRAR zero day exploit (the archive was supposed to be just images) that installed master Monero minor that disabled Windows Defender and blocked installation of other tools. I was able to clean my computer, but I only found through a non-english site (and I happen to speak that language so it was easier to validate that it was legit).


He knew how to make good games back in the day, he doesn’t any more or simply doesn’t care.

Masters of Albion seems to be largely based on his previous game, Legacy, which was a crypto/NFT scam (selling virtual land based on speculative pitch that the tokens would make mad real world money).

I tried Legacy for an hour (just out of curiosity), it’s shit. Almost feels like a low effort game to justify the pump and dump in-game land sale.




A lot of older games are simply not going to be updated. Does this mean that presence of said (post Unity 2017) games means your system has a local escalation privilege vulnerability on a permanent basis (if the game is installed)?


Cheers! Will need to schedule this for my evening reading session.

Thank you for the support!


Thank you for the commentary (PCGamesN blocks IPs from Ukraine so I can’t read the article). Will need grab a copy of the paper.






Yes, they even have a separate Steam store page.

TF2 Classic already exists (not too many users though), but after Valve’s change in policies around TF2 modding, they will able to have a proper Steam release and keep building out the mod.


Really hoping TF2 Classic’s population will increase in the run-up to their new release.

Started playing TF2 again, while it’s fun, I am really looking for a more classical TF2 experience.




These are almost certainly “functionally real but fake” benchmark results.

Note how they claimed that early X Elite showed ~3,100+ in GB6 ST and no devices ever hit that. Their own marketing doesn’t even refer to ~3,100 when comparing X2 Elite verse X Elite (they use ~2,900 which is also not really true outside of some edge cases).

I am no fanboy of AMD, Intel Qualcomm or any company. I want top end CPU SKUs for ~$200 (due to intense competition that brings down margins to a low single digits); that’s what I am a fanboy of.


Cities in Motion 1 with the free look and largest size maps mods. Even at 1440p (not to mention 4K) it will bring a modern CPU to its knees in the mid to late game if you completely disable fog.






Cheers. I am actually looking for a KB+M experience for Final Fantasy 7, I know, a bit strange.

The 2012 PC version seems like the best bet. That being said, I have a modding guide bookmarked that seemed very comprehensive, need to just go for it.


Older article, but I just read about the game/concept and I thought I would share since I couldn’t find anything about Blippo+ on this community.

As weird as this sounds, the screenshots make me want to play the original FF7.

I tried it back in the day, but my frame of reference was FO1/2, Might and Magic, etc., so the general JRPG style seemed off.

I am willing to give it another go 25+ years later. There are also seem to be aot of good mods for FF7.


Everyone with over 2K hours is getting banned from Destiny 2.

They will get an email from Bungie with the following: “Get a life! All the best!”





I don’t really see why public or private status matters in the picture. It will be still be the same culture (and leadership?). They try something new, but if will still be the same old IMO.

I could be wrong though, I don’t really have much interests in AAA outside of a few exceptions.


On one hand this is big news, on the other hand, I don’t really see how this matters.

The last EA game that I bought was SimCity (2013) and that was comically bad. Just my experience, but it’s not like fans of their sports games will be looking for alternatives (irrespective of what EA does).


Please post the video on games/pcgaming when you are done.

Soma is one of my favourite games of all time. Finished it two sittings (needed a break for sleep). I think it took me longer than most, but I was also exploring the world a lot.





I generally don’t like MMO’s (themepark doesn’t work for me and sandbox is extremely difficult to do well) and I don’t like superhero themes at all, but I do wish Ship of Heroes found some success (indie companies doing well is good for all of us). It doesn’t seem this will be the case with Ships of Heroes.


This is on voyager/mobile, so on desktop I guess it would be the attach image, not the first body image.

I wasn’t refering to the fighting screenshot. :)



Doesn’t look impressive.

I am assuming adding console support will require some changes to the game (I for one like the “janky” combat and dislike overly polished modern combat styles).


The first one was unbelievably good. The promo clips were also very sinister and foreboding.

This is unlikely to happen with current rules. You would likely need to radically change copyright and patent laws for a fast-moving sector like semiconductors to create real competition.

Semiconductor performance will continue to improve and the baseline will always be the most modern CPUs and GPUs (even if prices continue to rise).





No one uses 32 bit Windows (especially for gaming), but at least we might at last get a 64 bit verison of the Steam client on Windows.

All this stuff sounds like Randy Pitchford building out his personal brand.

I wish anything involving Pitchford was not reported on (at all).


I’ve haven’t had the chance to play Endzone 1/2, but they have been on my watchlist (there are so many good games these days).

Pizza Connection 3 was okay, albeit a bit bland and not a good sequel to the Pizza Connection series.

Good luck to everyone at the studio and hope they find new positions quickly.
