  • It's not about Highguard itself.

  • liveservice games completely lost any goodwill

    And yet gacha liveservice shit reskins some fantasy into SF or the other way around every few weeks and makes good money.

    Since almost 100k people tried it on Steam at launch and the next day it's a ghost town, I'd say it's very much whether the game is good or not. And 3 vs 3 on huge maps, with prefight busywork that feels like it could be skipped with no loss, on UE5 (which might be a good engine, but from high-end graphics games I learned to expect smeary upscaled shit with lumen painting everything grainy and blurry, input lag badly disguised with motion blur, etc.). Also, they lost a sizeable chunk of players to their TPM+secure boot requirements, even people who don't know computers realized it means ad-serving fucking corpos can trust your secure computer, not you yourself.

  • Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually)

    Jump

  • Not having a launcher is my requirement to buy a game lol

    Good luck with that. I need it because I've fiddled with my screwdriver adjusting the cassette head position to load Scuba Diver on ZX Spectrum too many times.

  • Anti-pop and an alien sigil: how Aphex Twin overtook Taylor Swift to become the soundtrack to gen Z life online

    Jump

  • I love Aphex Twin, but this is giving too much importance to streaming metrics.

  • Highguard | Official Launch Showcase

  • Requires both Secure Boot & TPM 2.0

    Fuck right off

  • The very thing racist memes need to stay alive is literally articles like this, great job Guardian

  • Nova Launcher gets a new owner and... ads

    Jump

  • It's excellent, you can filter network access per app, or per IP, or isolate an app and allow it to access only certain addresses / ranges and the interface is really intuitive and user-friendly.

  • Nova Launcher gets a new owner and... ads

    Jump

  • Up until today I was happy with turning off updates (as a precaution) and restricting Nova's internet access (all phone network access is proxied through Rethink+), but this made me switch to Lawnchair and leave a 1-star review for both the free version and the paid upgrade token.

  • True, sorry, this is another cover, I was choosing one to post not to spam too much Xiu Xiu.

  • TOMORA - THE THING (Official Visualiser) (The Chemical Brothers' Tom Rowlands + Aurora, quite nice if you miss old trip hop)

  • Meta has discontinued its metaverse for work, too

    Jump

  • I would still like to see an explanation of why it is bad. Regardless of who will provide that explanation :)

    Because they have Occulus' locked up in their basement and gimmick du jour is worse, now instead of just having a headset where you have to use their account and see ads for their shitty corpo vr chat every time you login you'll have a mandatory llm paperclip learning your habits and shilling 24/7

  • Kim Gordon - "NOT TODAY" (if you like old Sonic Youth and wonder what they're doing, or are into hypnotic shoegazey dream pop with a seasoned vocal; good beat as well)

    Jump

  • Lyrics aren't bad as well and holy crap she's 73

  • "We Are Charlie Kirk" is an AI-generated song created by SPALEXMA, as part of an album containing 18 songs; it was released on September 16, 2025, 6 days after his assassination

    Jump

  • This is some masterful bait, AI-generated, Charlie Kirk, "We Are".

  • Songs that feel like winter to you?

    Jump

  • That's a nice list

    Jump

  • ZU - (with Mike Patton) CARBON (2009) (for fans of impeccably recorded noisy layered jazzcore with good rhythmic structure, toe-tapping yet unsettling)

    Jump

  • Yeah, I think he's just on Orc and Soulympics from that album. I think he toured with them though and people love him so no wonder he tends to get stuck in the title. More people click on Mike Patton's name than something like "Zu - Carbon"

  • Meta: would the posters please consider marking the music genre on the posts?

    Jump

  • I'd actually like to know where a song sits on something like danceable - ponderous continuum to sometimes choose a pole depending on whether I'm sitting down or vacuuming

  • Meta: would the posters please consider marking the music genre on the posts?

    Jump

  • I hate genre markings and will make my own music with hookers and blackjack if you force me to think in terms of them
