I created it!

You can find it here.

Looking forward to seeing folks online!

This morning for some reason I was thinking about one of my very favorite games from the Sony PS-2 era: Fantavision.

This represents one of my very favorite kinds of game - cool graphics, interesting and different mechanics and gameplay you can relax to.

So for the halibut I searched on Steam and found that there's a remake!

Fantavision 202X.

I know it's unlikely but has anybody played this? I've totally exhausted my game buying budget for the nonce between the Winter Sale and a couple I bought afterwards, but this is definitely on my wishlist :)

The video teaser yesterday about this was already DMCAed by Nintendo, so I don’t think this video will be up long.

Following this tutorial, I tried gyro aiming on my Dualsense controller, which has analog triggers and gyroscopic motion controls. I set gyro to act as mouse, activated by a right trigger soft pull. If you use Steam with a controller I highly recommend this; it gives you almost as much control as a mouse and keyboard! Along with a few other custom rebinds, this gives me a console-ish experience on Minecraft Java :)

Specifically Xbox Games.

Vanguard, the controversial anti-cheat software initially attached to Valorant, is now also coming to League of Legends.

Summary:

The article discusses Riot Games' requirement for players to install their Vanguard anti-cheat software, which runs at the kernel level, in order to play their games such as League of Legends and Valorant. The software aims to combat cheating by scanning for known vulnerabilities and blocking them, as well as monitoring for suspicious activity while the game is being played. However, the use of kernel-level software raises concerns about privacy and security, as it grants the company complete access to users' devices.

The article highlights that Riot Games is owned by Tencent, a Chinese tech giant that has been involved in censorship and surveillance activities in China. This raises concerns that Vanguard could potentially be used for similar purposes, such as monitoring players' activity and restricting free speech in-game.

Ultimately, the decision to install Vanguard rests with players, but the article urges caution and encourages players to consider the potential risks and implications before doing so.
