I recently upgraded my XBox 360 Wireless controller and got the Flydigi Vader 3 Pro. Hall Effect Sensors trigger guard. Picked it up for und er 50 bucks on Aliexpress. They are available on Amazon US, but not in Europe.

Really happy with it so far.

Witcher 3 was great even though the pacing almost lost me. I'm the kind of player who plays one main story mission and then has to complete all available side quests, before continuing the main quest. It's the reason the only Bethesda Game I have ever finished is Oblivion.

That's why I recommend people to stick with it and finish some main quests if you ever feel like the game loses yo.

A little PSA: buying a game just before a sale, is a legitimate reason for a refund according to their Refund FAQ

I have never played a From Software game. Sekiro is really tempting to get, because I never could see myself dodging/rolling around the big enemies and bosses. Mostly human-sized enemies and parrying sounds much more appealing to me. But the difficulty has scared me off thus far and it never went below 50% off

I bought Horizon Zero Dawn when it was 50% off. For me it was really worth it. Got every achievement for it. I plan to do the same when Horizon Forbidden West is 50% off.

It's definitely a great game, when it reaches the right price point for you

Repeat after me "Fines need to be tied to global revenue". It has to hurt, if you want companies to stop.

I think it's hilarious that western leaders are worried about provoking Russia by providing Ukraine with weaponry that can be used in Russian territory.

Russia is at war with us. It's not tanks, fighter jets and battleships. It's cyber warfare, disinfomation campaigns, bribing of right wing politicians and poisonings. Just because nobody wants to call it a war, doesn't make it go away.

You could check out c/datahoarder. They should be able to tell you about brands, reliability, best practices ...

Discovery has always been a mixed bag for me.

I was fine with their changes to the Klingons, but disliked the emphasis of action.

I liked Pike and Spock (an Strange new Worlds), bit disliked the final battle with a million ships/drones.

I liked the jump into the future, but disliked the reason and resolution of the Burn.

I liked the threat of the DMA and its consequences, but the interpersonal relationships of the crew lost their appeal to me.

Season 5 was one of the weakest for me.

The Breen and the new XO two positives for me.

The crew, the Progenitor Tech and the search for it were all boring for me. Especially the established characters are more annoying than interesting to me.

Mol and L'ak ruined the season for me, more specifically Mol. A cross between a tantrum-having toddler and rebellious teenager, she added nothing to the plot. Her random connection to Book was blatantly manufactured and added nothing.

I actively had to stop myself from skipping scenes with her. I was close to just stop watching this season, since the rest wasn't too compelling either. I really dislike when antagonist keep sticking around, because the heroes try saving them (from themselves). It's okay to let a horrible person bleed to death, Michael.

I'm glad it's over. It could have been better, but also worse. I think this season showed it was a good decision to end it now.

Roblox not runnimg is more like a feature. /s

If you got a Nvidia dGPU I recommend PopOS. It gave me the best energy options and ability to switch between iGPU and dGPU out of the box. It even found new firmware for my T480 and installed it without a hitch.

Thanks for the recommendation. Will take a look and see if the extra money is worth it.
