  • Risk of Rain 2 and Robo Quest are probably up your ally because you like Ultra kill

    But if you want to diversify genre, here are some that I would recommend

    • Card Games - Slay the Spire (Its like a card game and rogue like combined)
    • Rogue Like - Hades is currently one of the top tiers in rogue like dungeon crawler
    • RPG - Baldurs Gate 3, even if you end up finishing the game, how you ended up finishing it is what makes it so replayable. Each character has their own stories for you to uncover. Larian’s other gem is Divinity Original Sin 2 too
    • Sandbox Games - Minecraft of Terraria
    • Arcade - Most arcade games are highly replayable because thats their whole selling point. Currently I am back to playing Temptest 4000
    • Hack n Slash - Grimdawn, nuff said







  • Well what do you expect when all of a sudden they started making their own browser over contributing to Firefox.

    The entire reason why Chrome was created was for Google to push the web forward at their own pace. Away from the previous iteration that heavily relied on browser helper objects (plugins).

    Here we are though, Google having a huge influence over the spec. Mainly because the competition weeded out to only Firefox remaining.

    Sure, Edge might be considered competition for Google, but at the end of the day, Edge, Opera (unfortunately), Vivaldi, Brave, and similar browsers are essentially Chrome reskins.

    PS: I am considering Edge as a competition for Google as Microsoft is well known for being EEE (Extend, embrace, extinguish). But more importantly, they have the man power to maintain their own fork if things do get out of hand.





  • I was originally an Opera user (back when it was using Presto) back in the day, but I switched to Firefox during the last moments of the Presto engine. When Presto died, I worried a bit about the state of other browser engines, but I didn’t worry about it too much because I never thought Microsoft would use Chromium with their Edge browser. Yet, here we are.

    Putting privacy concerns aside, we should encourage the use of Firefox because it helps promote browser engine diversity. The more diverse browser engines we have, the better it is for us, especially when it comes to innovation. I mean, it may be a bit different than the era of Internet Explorer, but since Google is leading the Chromium project, who knows what could happen.

    They might remove a particular feature that was once very useful for whatever reason, and we could end up just accepting it because we can’t do anything about it.






  • I had a chance to use UHD 630 for mild Linux gaming for a couple of months 5 years ago. So far it was good. Was able to Minecraft (No shaders though) with decent fps and a couple of 3d browser games such as Forward Assault (Some Counter strike like game), Tetr.io and Bemuse.

    For Steam games… it was able to play 2d games great. Majority of newly released 3d games (Indie, triple A is out of the question) that time, the iGPU struggleds however.

    Well I only wanted to play Skyrim at 1080p and it was able to deliver.

    Also was able to play Dota and Counter Strike Global Offensive too.

    I don’t think the newer intel iGPUs are any better, I mean it can play 3d games fine but usually performs OK on games a generation behind or older.
