I‘ve been playing Ghost of Tsushima lately and I‘m eagerly waiting for the Seamless COOP mod for the Elden Ring DLC to get ready so I can play it with some friends.

I‘d love to get into Disco Elysium

Thanks to you for doing this great giveaway!

Germany too

Yeah me too :D I played through the game + DLC two or three times on the PS4. But playing when relaxing in bed is definitely worth it to me!

It runs great for me. Highest settings on my PC run smoothly (I tested on Linux Mint and Windows 11) and I‘m even getting 40-60 fps on my Steam Deck with adaptable resolution enabled.

Hey man thats just rude :(

Kagi is very very nice but at $10 a month it is too expensive for my uses. DuckDuckGo is my alternative when my Kagi subscription of one month runs out.

Elden Ring with the seamless COOP mod has been very fun for my two friends and me. The experience isn’t 100% perfect (some bugs) but exploring the Lands Between with buddies and fighting the bosses together has easily been in my top 3 COOP experiences up until now.

I have a Keychron K2 with some retro looking keycaps and blue switches. I don’t know for sure how it compares to the K7 though.

It’s a really great keyboard, solidly built, not too heavy, nice sounding and even nicer to type on. The battery holds up pretty well, I rarely have to charge it.

I don’t carry it around but it is pretty portable.

The only thing I‘m missing from my original MacBooks keyboard is the little globe button on the bottom left for emojis, special characters and such. But this is mapped to another key combination so all is well. And it is pretty high, you might need a wrist rest for very long typing sessions. In my usecase (gaming and a few hours of uni a day) I don’t struggle with this.

It is connected via bluetooth with up to three devices at a time and you can swap between them via a keyboard shortcut. It has a switch for MacOS/iOS and Windows/Android so swapping between devices is almost seamless.

There is no software for it afaik. For me thats a plus (less bloatware on my devices), but if you want highly customized lighting or super elaborate custom behavior, it might be a minus.

Overall this is a great little keyboard, especially considering that I got mine on sale for 50 or 60€.

If you have problems starting the EA laucher (a blank EA launcher colored screen and crashing back to the desktop / your library) this is your fix:

If the game itself doesn’t start, I don’t know how to help, sorry.

Edit: Let the program do its thing before you do anything else. Some steps require some time to be finished.

Thanks for the summary and the link

Good for her! Hopefully she comes back quickly as a host, I miss those videos

I am very out of the loop here, what is this Anthony / Emily situation? I‘ve been wondering that he (she?) hasn’t been on screen for a while afaik

Sorry for wording my comment so weirdly. I just had to look up some phone’s names, since I‘m kinda put of the loop with the new models.

A Samsung Fold like phone I get. It is, like you said, a phone when folded and a tablet when unfolded. I see that being useful.

A phone in the style of a Samsung Flip I don’t get. That’s what I meant with the normal size when unfolded and small, thick square when folded part. It has a tiny screen when folded that barely seems usable. It seems like you get all the faults and none of the benefits with this design.

Excuse my poor wording again.

Thanks for the thorough reply!

The bigger screen aspect seems very nice indeed. I just would be too scared to use it like a regular phone. Wouldn’t something that scratches a regular glass display absolutely shred the plastic screen on a foldable?

What I still don’t get at is the normal sized phone when open that closes to a thicker square. This seems kinda gimmicky to me. One doesn’t get the benefit of the tablet sized screen and you have a bulky think in your pocket that you can barely use when not opened.

May I ask why? I would be scared 24/7 to break my phone with my fingernails or something because the screens are so fragile.

I bought AirPods Max from Amazon used and they were still tied to the previous owner.

Even though I send receipts and everything to Apple, they said they cannot remove the connection to the previous owner’s account.

Just to keep this in mind, what you said might not work every time.

It should be really telling that you can’t find anything positive about cigarettes online, even when you specifically search for positive aspects.

They cause cancer and you smell disgusting after smoking them. Just listen to your girlfriend on this.

Yeah but it usually was a „support the dev“ thing.

For example, Apollo (RIP) had an okay icon to begin with, you could choose from a few free ones and if you really liked the app or a specific icon, you could buy it.

They didn’t intentionally make their standard icon shitty to bully you into paying for a decent one

I’d love to get away from Chromium based browsers. At the moment I am using Brave.

Is there any other browser that works on and syncs between: MacOS, iPhone / iPad AND Windows? It also has to have adblock capabilities on all of the devices. FireFox with uBlock Origin would be my first choice but afaik you can’t block ads on iPad / iPhone on it.

Any recommendations?

This is kinda true. In my opinion there is no point in locking the fps to 60 when you could also be getting 90 fps on a 120hz screen. Might as well use those frames as long as they come in regular intervals.

The lower the fps / hz the bigger the intervals between frames and refreshes and the more noticeable the stuttering and lag. If you exceed consistent 60 fps it should all feel roughly the same. There is no need to get an expensive 240hz screen to game at 100 - 120fps. 120hz or 144hz is enough for that. (As always depending on what you do with it, a professional CS player might need the higher Hertz)
