  1. Edge is based on Chromium which is the open source foundation of Chrome, and adds a few useful features while also integrating Bing which I have no use for. I feel like It tends to be a bit faster than Chrome too these days. Anyway, Firefox all the way if you care about some privacy.
  2. I got Army of Ruin after you recommended it because it was cheap and I started to get bored with VS. I also got Hall of Torment (also for a few $) because it appears to be a mix of old school Diablo and VS but I haven't played it more than 2 minutes yet 😄 AoR is pretty fun. I beat my first endless run yesterday (by beat, I mean stayed alive for 30 minutes) and it was pretty intense what was going on on the screen by the end... I still have tons of stuff to unlock so that is definitely a good ratio replayability/$ I will focus on a money harvesting build next to unlock as many permanent upgrades as possible.
  3. my desktop that i use for everything got the update like a year ago. I have not really noticed any improvements. However I noticed regressions with: - the start menu In W10 you can group your shortcuts and organize everything by tasks or activities. I don't know if it's something people do but I realized it was possible and because I do work, games, music on my machine, it was super helpful. in W11 you can group shortcuts like you would do on an Android phone so it's a major step back in terms of organization/productivity for me. - taskbar on W10, my taskbar was at the top. Nuh uh, can't do that with W11 - multiple monitor management I used to have the Windows tray on monitor #2 so that I would still have access when monitor #1 is displaying things full screen. Not possible with W11. These things are things people have reported online multiple times. It's not excluded some of these things could get fixed in future releases but to me these have been annoyances. On top of it, my update got messed up a bit and I have a couple of minor things that have not been working since I did this update and I need to reinstall from scratch. In hindsight, clearly I should have installed it cleanly...
  4. maybe we'll get a Stanton version of this for 1/2 the price in the near-ish future
  5. you would have to run a script that scans the database. creates an index of all files, upload them to another host, grab the new url and replace it based on the index. there is probably nothing readily available as it's pretty specific so it would have to be custom coded. Maybe it's time to test ChatGPT 😄
  6. I briefly tried Nvidia Gamestream as it came bundled with my Shield Pro and the latency with the controls made it more frustrating than anything. Probably for casual gaming it would be have been fine though. I believed the service has been shut down now so no big loss for me. I don't know of anyone using any of these services on a regular basis...
  7. the first piece in this video would probably fit and I don't think it was ripped off from someone else either
  8. the Sega part is so catchy on top of everything that's been said already
  9. I only have 2 android loopers working on the latest version Skratch Loopers vol2 & 3. All the previously released loopers by Gold Voltron, Thud Rumble, D-Styles, Babu, Craze & Klever which were using a similar canvas with tempo practice stopped working. I tried to modify the app by updating the Android version supported but that didn't fix anything The Tablist.net Android app works fine if you know what you're looking for but 1. is very slow to refresh, 2. still buggy (downloading loops sometimes stops and won't resume so you have to download again and you end up with duplicate loops) and 3. doesn't necessarily have all the loopers available from the site itself
  10. I've had a 6 for about a year now, previously had a OnePlus 7T and the thing I miss the most to this day is the physical sound switch. I've got used to it now though. I haven't issues with the updates but I think it's because mine only updates itself when I sleep. So all I see is a notification that I need to finish the install by rebooting the phone which never takes more than a few minutes. The other thing that irritates me is that all the loopers (QSU, Scratch Nerds, Babu, D-Styles) I bought the last few years do not work with the latest version of Android. I saved some APKs in case someone has a fix one day...
  11. Thanks for the recommendation Steve. I was looking for a local coop game to play with my brother in law (following Streets of Rage 4, the new Ninja Turtles game, RiverCity Girls, you see the pattern...) when he's in town and this one totally hits the spot.
  12. EA did that with StarWars Battlefront and it didn't go well from a PR standpoint, though arguably the grind was worse on paper. You bet Blizzard will be very focused on selling skins and characters. They must realized they made a mistake (i.e. missed on a ton of cash) when they release the game not following the fortnite model. And I hate that model (besides the fact that selling skins for a FPS is stupid, I play Apex so I know lol)
  13. I'll be shocked if S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 gets released in 2023. It's my most anticipated title in this list but I will believe when I see it. Otherwise, I'll keep with my prediction that the game will be 3 to 4 years late. Other than that I'm looking forward to try a few other games I'd never try otherwise (looking at you Diablo 4, Redfall and Starfield)

    VPN advice

    ^ this Free VPNs are not reliable and speeds are bad in most scenarios. Get Nord or Express for a month to make sure it does what you want* and get a longer subscription once you made your choice. *Some streaming services banned IP ranges associated with VPNs so some may work, some may not.
