Max Payne was so amazing. I don’t knwo why, but I totally loved the atmosphere. Night, cold, desperation, drug lords, bullet time, comic strips, music, fast gunplay, it all made such a wholesome package. (The only part I really disliked was the dream passage where you had tu run through darkness on thin red lines, that was PITA.)

I fear remake will lose some aspects that made Max Payne what it was. Replace comics with cut scenes and it would not be the same game. Replace dark, grim, shadowy graphics with modern flashy ray traced lightning awesomeness and it surely would look good, but it wouldn’t be the Max. Replace fast paced shooting tempo with more cover based or just differently paced approach and yet again, it wouldn’t be the same game. Etc.

It’s ugly AF and totally breaks the concept. At least that’s what I think about it.

Does it really have plexi/glass side/top? Why on Earth?

Well, it’s first person shooter where shooting is pretty bad (unless you invest a lot of skill points in it). Melee is okayish, very simple, basically button mashing. Luckily combat is just a minor part of the game. Dialogues, story, atmosphere, all this very much compensates for the lack of good gunplay.

You sure you mean exiting? Or exciting?

At this point I’d prefer a good book from HL universe explaining the lore, characters and stuff. Would buy 100%!

Classic Ubisoft…

Bitwarden client is FOSS same as Keepass, though. Why aren’t you afraid of Keepass having backdoor by “insert whatever big corporation sponsoring FOSS” giving said companies free access to your passwords you happily store in their clouds?

Dude, how is bitwarden hosting your own, locally encrypted (in FOSS client) password database any different than using keypass and syncing it however you want?

I don’t even use Bitwarden myself, I’m using keepass too, but this attitude is … weird?

Trusting one FOSS client good. Trusting different FOSS client bad. Logic where?

Any idea what should I get for my NAS then? I’ve been looking at Lexar NM790 as one of the contenders, others being Seagate Firecuda 530 and WD RED SN700. My target is 2TB not too expensive nvme drive.

Yep, I meant U series, which (at least where I live) were covering vast majority of the market. There was occasional HQ here and there, but not that often. AMDs offerings at the time were mediocre and nobody really used them so for me, that era basically overlaps with Intel U series hegemony when speaking about laptop cpus.

I mean mainstream processors of that age. Even regular i7s of 7th gen were just dual cores with HT.

Ah, so there won’t be overflow of big bussiness 8th gen laptops… Nevermind, I’d still avoid 7th gen myself.

If I were to buy used laptop, I’d want 8th gen or newer because that’s where intel finally made more than dual core for mobile.

“You should definitely try LFS, it’s great and you’ll have exactly what you want!”

“Arch btw! Customize everything and no bloat, hurr durr!”

“NixOS is the future, go for it!”

It used to be, it’s Bing nowadays I believe.

//edit: it says it uses google on the site, but I remember there was a bit of shitshow on the internetz ~year ago when they used bing instead. So… I’m confused now.

I got lost in this wordpress thing. Tried to read few (probably low quality informed-as-I-am) articles and now I’m even more lost. Can someone ELI5 what’s going on, who’s the good guy, who’s the bad guy, whether wordpress (product) is to be avoided, etc. Thank you.
