Moddb was mentioned. Another good one is thunderstore. It all depends on the game though. Valheim (and several other units based games) is very active on both Nexus and thunderstore, stalker games tend to be moddb, &c. Nexus tends to be the main one for most games though.

I mostly like Nexus (paid member), but I share the concern about it being the only game in town for most games. Nexus is heaps better as a site than both moddb and thunderstore ime, but the lack of real alternatives is putting way too many eggs in the same basket.

These days ssds might actually have hdds beat on longevity. Still, affordable mass storage and ssds aren’t close to hdd levels yet.

What tools would you recommend to fund good forks. I’ve had a Firefox extension or two but they’ve either creased working or weren’t fantastic to begin with. Currently just using the network graph, limitations and all.

You can get amd with thunderbolt. The motherboards with thunderbolt headers are bloody expensive, and you’ll need a 200 bucks add in card (which needs to match the motherboard manufacturer I think), so it’s not exactly cheap, but it is possible.

Agreed, and in my experience (Asus board) it’s functional but a bit buggy, so not an easy recommendation. Still, if you want or need team red it’s an option. Price premium sucked, but wasn’t actually noticeably more than if I’d gone team blue. Not sure I’d do it again in hindsight though. Fully functional but only 90% reliable (which is worse than it seems, in the same way a delay of “only” a second every time you do something adds up to a big annoyance) is perhaps not worth it for my use case.

This is a genuine exception. Surprisingly low bullshit for anything gaming related (i suppose being industry oriented helps a little), and fairly interesting stuff covered. This article is a good one, imo.

Despite the title it’s (as should be expected from being with one foot in the industry) not a how to guide to get the latest fitgirl repack or whatever, but an article about who gets targeted for piracy and who doesn’t even while massively profiting (Amazon, for one).

A warning sign (“this phone has a third party screen”) could be useful, so long as it’s just that, a notification in the settings somewhere. Then it’s up to me to decide whether I care or not. All it does is give me more information, the judgment on it is my own.

I’d prefer it if it did that for all parts. New third party screen? Notice. New first party screen? Also give notice. Then i know what was repaired or replaced. Even better if it should list when it was replaced, and perhaps the specs of the replacement part.

Probably. I’m voting for them (not Timmermans himself, but no. 17 on the party’s list as a way to signal I’m less than thrilled with how NL responded to Israel), but am doubtful we’ll finally get a government I’m mostly content with. It’s been since the pre Balkenende days (which goes back to the turn of the century).

We’ve had a couple times CDA (Christian party) followed by a really long time under VVD (right wing, led by Rutte), with left being mostly of secondary importance.

As of now there’s too many parties polling high, old and new, to really make a good educated guess. VVD, PVV (right-wing, anti islam) and NSC (a new party led by a former CDA member) are all big enough to keep a close eye on.

For someone on the left none of these engender any sort of hope for the country. All would like to close off the borders, none really productively deal with the gap between rich and poor, none really deal with the climate catastrophe.

The (also new) party after these guys is the BBB, which literally is a party of angry farmers that don’t want to get their livelihood impacted by climate reductions. Understandable from their perspective, but even worse climate wise. Their foreign policy isn’t that much better.

There’s several options to do that. Iirc explorerpatcher (free) and startalllback (does more, but paid) are the two prime options.

flatlined,

Both worked for me, though not in combination. In isolation haven’t had a major issue that wasn’t fairly quickly solved with an update with either of them. Explorer patcher has been slightly buggier between the two, but not by too much.

Ymmv of course, as is the decision whether having the bar how/where you want us worth the trouble.

Most have already been mentioned. Rock paper shotgun is a good source too, albeit pc gamers only.

I assume you know People make Games on Youtube? Smith’s in there, and it’s pretty dang good journalism.
