  • As non native I though it was very well written and all arguments seem reasonably taking away all misunderstanding.

    I don’t care of any political view I don’t bother losing my time with unnecessary debates between turds and piece of shits…They all come out from an a$$ anyway !

    However, there’s something else that bothers me coming from Proton. I don’t know… they don’t feel like a privacy conscious company anymore…

    Look how bloated their website is, I lost my way more than once to find a specific option, how many ads they send paying customers through their throat, free VPN connection? Seems also very suspicious…

    I don’t know my guts are telling me to stay away from them… Don’t get me wrong I used their free VPN tier for a while and their email service is top notch… But as the saying says: Follow your guts !


  • Yeah I read your edited portion 😄 but was to lazy to edit mine XD.

    Yeah I actually don’t like how broken some of the arsenal is (looking at you ice element) but it’s very cool for those who like a more action/destroy everything gameplay.

    However the new game + ,with no elemental bows, is really a good challenge ! Not as difficut as any souls like but If you don’t carefully prepare traps and know how to use them efficiently and target weak points you can easily get overwhelmed and die !

    Haven’t tried forbidden west so can’t argue on that one but heard some negative aspects for those who like me, liked to sneak arround and do more stealthy things with preparation…





  • Ori and the blind forest/the will of the wisp are both great games but far from a soulslike.

    It plays more like a slow paced story game with some neat mechanics and cutesy animation and sad story that somehow has a happy ending? Both are great though !

    People will probably disagree here, but some aspects of Horizon Zero Dawn are a bit souls like. Specially on PC when you’re trying to do a perfect hit with keyboard/mouse. I really liked that aspect when you try to take down A big machine only hitting its weak points with NORMAL bows. I got a good 300h in HZD just roaming the world and perfecting my kills during encounters !





  • What do you mean by showstopper? I only encode my shows into AV1/opus and I never had any transcoding happening on any of my devices.

    It’s well supported on any recent Browser compared to x264/x265… specially 10bit encodes. And software decoding is nearly present on any recent device.

    Dunno about 4k though, I haven’t the necessary screen resolution to play any 4k content… But for 1080p, AV1 is the way to go IMO.

    • Free open/source
    • Any browser supported
    • Better compression
    • Same objective quality with lower bitrate
    • A lot of cool open source project arround AV1

    It has it’s own quirks for sure (like every codec) but it’s far from a bad codec. I’m not a specialist on the subject but after a few months of testing/comparing/encoding… I settled with AV1 because it was comparative better than x264/x265.










  • Playing CS 1.5 to source everyday/every night with the exact same person for years…

    After school? Running home and gaming till the morning

    During vacation? Non stop gaming

    During new year? Just a glass at 00:00 with family and gaming again till the morning…

    This was the best time of my life and probably the best childhood memory, until I grew up, met my first girlfriend, went to highschool/university and now having a job…

    I miss this good old days where you had nothing in between your fun and happiness.

    Now it’s just a mess of disappointment…
