The Forever Winter. Released in early access due to popular demand. It’s rough, divisive, and difficult as hell. It’s also incredibly grim and hauntingly beautiful. It’s a PvE-only, stealth-based, extraction (non-)shooter where you scavenge resources to survive in the shadow of a military-industrial complex run absolutely amok. You are incredibly underpowered, outnumbered and outgunned, to the point where if you need to start shooting, you’re probably already dead. Gameplay is tense, frightening, and really drives home the overwhelming feeling of being a small fish in a really fucking big pond. It’s the opposite of a power fantasy and I’m really glad someone is doing something that different.

I’m not sure I’d recommend it in the state it’s in, if at all, but it’s definitely making me feel some kind of way. I don’t normally enjoy extraction shooters, but I find myself coming back to this one. Not that it’s really a shooter. Maybe that’s what’s doing it for me. The most divisive part is the water mechanic. It’s a key resource for your settlement; If you run out of water you lose all your stuff. But, it drains in real time not game time so it’s kind of a big commitment at the moment. Personally I understand both sides of the argument and I haven’t decided where I fall yet. It’s definitely worked on me because I find myself thinking about the game when I’m not playing, but if I end up taking a break I’m not sure I’ll have the commitment to build back up from scratch again.

Any new parts are most likely going to necessitate a complete rebuild. Your mainboard probably tops out at PCI3, a new GPU will be PCI4. It’ll work, but you won’t see as big an improvement as you expect. Any new CPU is going to need a new mainboard because intel. New mainboard means upgrading to DDR5 RAM because that’s the standard now.

Alternatively go the secondhand route, you should be able to pick up an i5 or i7 that’s socket compatible for not much.

Oh wow I can’t wait to strap a hallucination machine to my face

I’m running Bazzite on LeGo and it does this. No idea what until or settings it uses to achieve it tho.

I just recently decided to get into the lore myself, from my research the three consistent recommendations on all the lists are (in no particular order):

Eisenhorn

Horus Heresy

Gaunt’s Ghosts

Sorry to necro the thread but I ended up getting one of these and it’s great so thanks for the recommendation. Recently switched to Linux and found Rivalcfg supports aerox 5. Terminal only, but worth checking out if you’re still searching.

Soulseek. I’ll search a band I like, then browse the directories of other people with similar taste.

Where did you get this? If the signature and date is correct, this is stunning. Doing this kind of thing in '89 required some serious commitment. Still does, but modern pixel art tools are a ton easier.

Timing and length of ads won’t be consistent between users so this approach doesn’t work.

Using a different client won’t help if the ads are injected directly into the video stream.

I’m pretty sure I tried the desktop app method at some point. Didn’t work at all for me but I can’t recall why.

Oh it’s an absolute slog for sure. And I can’t even guarantee it still works. I wouldn’t have even tried if I didn’t happen to chance upon a suitable device. Definitely wouldn’t recommend paying eBay prices for one just to do this.

I’ve done this successfully, but you need to jump thru quite a few hoops. These instructions are for Kindle only. I think dedrm can cope with Nook encryption but I don’t know how to do it. It was a while ago now, but to the best of my recollection:

1. Get yourself an older model Kindle. I used a Kindle 3 that I found at Goodwill for $20. You may have to rejig your home WiFi if your model doesn’t support the right version of WPA.
2. Register it to your Amazon account somehow. IIRC, you have to try and fail to do it from the device, then Amazon will email you instructions.
3. Install Calibre and setup the dedrm plugin. It’s pretty well documented.
4. Download what you want onto the Kindle. Pretty sure you have to use the Amazon website for this because of SSL issues on the older models.
5. Setup your Kindle with Calibre. This is also pretty easy and and well documented.
6. Grab the DRMed books off the Kindle into Calibre.
7. Run the conversion process in Calibre to remove DRM and convert to (for example) epub.
8. Optional: Jailbreak your Kindle and install KOReader to get a bit more value out of the obsolete brick you had to purchase to do this. This is a whole other set of hoops.

I’m not totally sure all this still works. You’re honestly probably better off getting a Boox device and downloading stuff from Anna’s Archive or similar.

Short answer: yes.

Shattered Pixel dungeon is based on pixel dungeon, adds a bunch of new stuff and is reasonably actively developed.

Opensuse because I like green.

Jailbreak + screensaver hack. It’s possible on most models there’s a jailbreak for. Master list is here: linky

Use of archive.org may be required, the link rot is a very real problem.

I like it. Here’s mine.

You’d probably also enjoy The Laundry Files. Math is magic, and while you -can- do it in your head, using computers is a lot safer and more efficient. Includes such gems as a basilisk gun integrated into CCTV camera systems.

reduce ads and pop-up interruptions

Or they could just … Idk … Not put that shit in there in the first place?
