  • Facts: Game didn’t break the charts on day one.

    Media: Game is struggling on Steam.

    Facts: That’s not what the data say, in fact some games come out, others have a long…

    Media: OmD, will Ninja Theory survive?!

    Can’t have a healthier gaming industry if this passes for news, specially with that headline.

    5th paragraph in, so they can say they weren’t doomsayers:

    While the numbers don’t look great, there’s currently nothing to worry about with Hellblade 2.

    Edit: added clarity that the post started with a “dialogue”.














  • HeliBoard has been my chosen SwiftKey replacement: https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard

    Features I value:

    • Multilingual typing (as someone who writes EN, PT and dabbles on DE and NL daily, having to check which language I’m on and switch keyboards/layouts every time sucks)
    • Glide typing (with optional closed source library)
    • Clipboard history
    • Comprehensive layout customization
    • Autocorrect (with customizable level of confidence)
    • Emoji selection and history

    It does suck to see an app that I loved and paid for (yes, I used it for THAT long) get enshittified and try push AI* down my throat.

    Not to mention M$ owning my typing history (which I kinda could live with).

    RIP SwiftKey.





  • My experience with the last Nvidia GPU generations is the opposite, the fan curves are too conservative temp wise. Your card will get very loud trying to maintain a ~70C temp target. This of course changes with manufacturer and model.

    With a 3090 I suggest an undervolt (even a modest one works miracles for the power hungry top tier cards). And after doing that, you can also dial in a slower fan curve.

    While finding a good undervolt is time consuming (please do test, stress the heck out of it, with different apps/games), it was a god send to me. And it helps a lot with keeping the memory cool, which is something I worried a lot with the ram chips on the back of the board that the 3090 has.
