Wow, I would never considering allocating so much memory to a single service I run at home.

Gitlab

This guy has a lot of memory in his server

I have Podgrab setup, but I mostly just use PodcastAddict on my phone

Install it once, use it on any of your devices. Run it once on a capable server so even potatoes get the advantage of it. Run it once so it only needs to support one OS and hardware architecture.

Using an app of some description over many different device types is far more of a maintenance headache and that’s before you start dealing with app stores.

100% agree. JC3 is a gem of a game

4?! There are literally dozens of us!

No one in 2025 has read all of that article.

I’m going to split this in to two categories: 1) games that were the best for their time, but perhaps don’t hold up nowadays. 2) Games that are the best today.

1. GoldenEye. This game was just so good both single and multiplayer. It was revolutionary, amazingly close to the film and a real challenge to complete. It was a huge game changer and entered in the modern era for such games.

2. I just really like Just Cause 3. It’s such fun, great visual, even better game mechanics, cool soundtrack, a true open world and massive destruction, endless ways to approach every situation.

The main one is how it handles corruption. It has actively been designed to do the exact opposite of what a sane filesystem should do and maximises downtime.

What’s your stereo you’re connecting the record player to?

From my experience this kind of thing was a solved problem over a decade ago - it was at least good enough by far.

I’ve started it but only got a couple of hours on before being distracted by other time sinks. I mist have gone through the HL1 starting train ride more times than I’ve had hot dinners.

Completed it last week for the first time and it really does look good. There is so much that’s right in the game. There’s a reason people still cry out for another HL game and raytracing isn’t it.

I understand why some might feel it looks good, but it actually really ruins the feel of the game. Darkness and contrast is a good thing.

Of course it’s fun. But is more realistic destruction more fun?

My favourite game is Just Cause 3 and it’s the same. But would it be better if it was more realistic destruction? No.

Can I ask who cares about this kind of thing? Why don’t they have more jobs for “making the games fun”? There seems to me to be a point where added realism is detrimental to fun, especially when resources are directed away from the fun.

Who do you think I am?
