Yeahyeah, it also says you need Microsoft Windows to play this; nobody needs Microsoft Windows to play games anymore in 2026. 😆

Right now I'm using a Corsair Ironclaw (you need to plug it in to Micro-USB to change/deactivate the LEDs, but it comes with its own 2.4Ghz Wireless USB or can do BT); medium happy with it. I already have a Keychron M3 on standby which will probably replace it.

Keyboard I use a Keychron K10 Pro, which is niiice. Has USB-C and BT. I replaced my aging Turtle Beach 100 with it, which isn't available anymore, and which only had USB-A.

Uh, I compile my kernel myself, and I missed this until now.
 make; make modules_install; make install

It's not ARC Raiders because of the third-person-perspective. I do play these games, but I do find them a lot less immersive than first-person-perspective ones.

For instance, I finished Return to Moria [External Link] with friends a few weeks back. Still, one of the gripes I have with it it's that you can't change the perspective to first-person.

I also don't like the "cinematic"-style that comes with a lot of them, like featuring long cut-scenes & dolly shots (And of course I absolutely HATE when they're trying to emulate a camera with motion blur, chromatic aberration, lens flare, depth of field and film grain. The only time you're allowed to do that is when the player really sees the world through a camera lens. Computer graphics do not have to emulate technical shortcomings of movie cameras,). Games can be more immersive than movies can ever be. Unless you deliberately break them by trying to emulate movies.

Instead I've been playing FTB Stoneblock 4 [External Link], a Minecraft modpack.

And every week I'm also usually playing Deep Rock Galactic [External Link]

Liège Waffles from the food trucks probably need a dedicated budget line. Club Maté drinks also deserve a special mention,

Also, the beer. Belgians probably have the best beer in the world. At FOSDEM itself you only get a very mainstream version of gueuze and kriek (these are types of sour beer, not brands), so be sure not to miss the pre-FOSDEM beer-event at the Delirium.

Very cool. I just wish they would (at least make it possible to) change the controls. They were horrible for keyboard and mouse. Very stupid inventory management.

We've had a beer-cartel here in Switzerland from 1935 to 1991. During that time, it was only possible to take over other breweries to increase your market share, which lead to condense 530 breweries down to 34. Which were only allowed to brew 4 kinds of beers, all of them bottom-fermenting and basically all lager and pils (which are very similar anyway).

So, we've been fucking tormented by the pils-mandating assholes for decades, had them kill most Swiss breweries and just about every older style of beer we've ever had.

So I'd guess this game is something for boomers who were never allowed to develop a taste in beer.

Oddworld: Strangers Wrath bad shading on NPC chickens

I can only assume the shading was already ok on Player Character chickens.

The remake moves from the original's fixed-camera viewpoints to an over-the-shoulder perspective, putting you closer to what James sees, for a more thrilling, more immersive experience

They're soo close to getting it.
