Minecraft Java will move to Microsoft accounts in 2021, gets new social screen

After that, they're also giving out a special cape to players who transfer as a reward for being an original MC player.
Man this will be the second time needing to migrate my minecraft account first was from minecraft.net account to mojang and now this. Man wheres my cape for doing it the first time.

Feels weird that original minecraft players are from alpha to 1.16 according to them. So me and my friends will have the same capes as newer players even though iv played since release 1.0 and some of my friends since beta. Saying that makes me feel old even though im only 20 6th grade feels so long ago.
Yeah where's my alpha cape, I don't want one for making a Microsoft account :(

Would be awesome to get to experience first-hand how far game streaming has come since OnLive.

Quoting: da_habakukstill on 4.12.1~buster wine-staging on debian stable :( but i started to move to steam+proton(-GE) anyways :)
for gaming sometimes i wonder if it wouldnt be better to be more bleeding edge with archlinux etc..
my mesa is still on 1.8.
Sid is nice for gaming. You do get issues sometimes, like how Gnome 3.34 (or more specifically mutter) has been a nightmare recently. But this was exactly the same on Arch, obviously.
Most importantly you get up-to-date drivers and vulkan.

Continuing the Counter-Strike 20th anniversary Valve put out skins, plus a possible Operation and update coming

Quoting: RFSharpeThe pictures of the CS20 weapon skins are fueling my foolish cravings for CS:GO skins. What a waste of money... but there is this little voice inside my head that keeps telling me, "The more you pay for a weapon skin, the more kills you will get with that weapon."

I have managed to refrain from buying a knife skin though... Although whenever I see someone in a YouTube video (like Tyler McVicker) that has a skinned knife in hand, I can't help but think, "I wish I was him."
You can always sell the skins and get most (or more) of your money back. Hell, I have skins that have tripled in value just during the last year or two.

Chiaki, the open source and cross-platform PS4 Remote Play client now supports the PS4 7.0 update

Quoting: chris.echozThis is really nice. Now my PS4 is a lot less annoying to use. To remove the final annoyance I think I will put my PS4 next to my servers because god damn is it noisy.
I'm a new owner of a PS4 slim since three months and have never really played PS4 before. But lately I just realized, how quiet the slim is compared to the old and pro models. I was shocked how loud the fan of these models is. For me it would be unacceptable in the living room...

On topic: I really appreciate Chiaki and used it already to play RDR successfully on my Linux desktop. However, I wish it would be possible to use 1080p on non-pro models, but I guess this is a Sony restriction :(
I have the original one, and it's ridiculously loud when you're actually playing a graphics intensive game. At least it's quiet compared to the servers

liam, why are my emojis turning into question marks
