I just don't use Epic myself but do use Gog and Steam (with the ultra shitty EA launcher and Ubisoft Connect bundled with some of my games) and Playnite has changed everything unifying it all into that single launcher.

Full screen mode in Playnite works fine on my HTPC and as a launcher it does consolidate all of them into one place easily. Worth trying if you use multiple stores.

As for why I'm not using Epic, the whole paying for exclusivity with third parties really didn't appeal to me at all.

If the free offerings from Epic do appeal to you, or if they do better deals on localised currencies (especially if you do struggle to pay for things), don't worry about using their services. I wouldn't want you to deny yourself some entertainment just because other people have issues with them as a business.

Oh wow, how out of the loop am I. 😆

Hopefully it’s supported for years to come.

One of my earliest vr experiences was with the blue Acer mixed reality headsets and it did fine at the time. Cost far less than the mainstream headsets from HTC and Oculus too.

Haven't even seen any new WMR headsets for years and thought it was already dead.

My HTPC is on windows 11, set to auto log-in and launch steam big picture. Disabled as much of the Microsoft BS as I can, including the nags to use Onedrive or sub to Office 365 every major update.

Using Unified Remote to control things with my phone and also Parsec/Moonlight for game streaming to other devices.

My media is served from my Unraid server to my devices both locally and remotely.

All working well so far. 👍

Oh no, this won't end well will it?

Another vote for wildlands. I just couldn’t get into breakpoint as much as I did wildlands.

I've posted it repeatedly but I'd like to add the (paid extension) Vinegar extension as a recommendation for iOS Safari.
Enable extension, add YT to home screen and stop seeing ads.
Combined with Banish for Safari - stopping the "open in app" popups on websites, my online experience is golden.

I’m more invested in using the site as a user aggregated feed with other subjects in interest in thrown in the mix. Probably more like Reddit in that instance but with seemingly more well thought out human comments, less bots and less cringy “and my axe” style bullshit.

Are classic side scrollers ok to suggest?

• Golden Axe (Arcade)
• Altered Beast (Arcade)
• Double Dragon (Arcade)
• Streets of Rage (Arcade)
• Bad dudes vs DragonNinja (Arcade)
• Die Hard Arcade (Model 2 Arcade)
• The Simpsons (Arcade)
• Bruce Lee (ZX Spectrum)
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES)
• Fighting Force (PSX)

Warhammer Boltgun was a day one purchase for me and now we’re in the age of handhelds like the Steam deck, I can get my fix anywhere.

I’m on a flight to Spain next week and a good part of that flight will be spent purging heretics.

I will purge them for the Imperium!

I’ve got a Libreddit docker instance running on my home server and together with the libredirect browser extension, if I click on a Reddit link through a search or news article with a link to Reddit, my browser automatically goes to my Libreddit instance with the content on full display.

Now, whilst on my Libreddit instance the other day after being redirected from a news article I took a peek at r/all and the whole feed was pure shit, nothing like I’d seen before on Reddit.

For some reason, it was full of doordash posts, rateme style posts taking advantage of thirsty usersand shitty TikTok reposts.

They may well have won, but at the moment there is a glut of absolute shit on the front page of the platform. I’d guess quality content has taken a hit.

I've found my feed really picking up the past two weeks. Plenty of decent content to consume which is great.
Nice growth.
