I came across an interesting documentary - S4: The Bob Lazar Story (2026), about UFOs. It might be interesting for those who are into the topic.

1. Do you think gamers enjoy variety in gameplay, like combining driving, shooting, stealth, and other mechanics in one game?
2. Do you play modern games yourself?
3. What are your top 5 favorite Resident Evil games?
Thanks for your answer!

Built a gear shifter for a gamepad. I'll wrap it in carbon film.
All that's left is to solder the wires to "external pedals", then it'll be possible to shift gears in racing games, fly helicopters in GTA, and control excavators or lifts in Teardown.

Came across an interesting, atmospheric map for the #HarryPotter 2 game, where the creator (cafekismet) combined the best elements from three versions of the castle. It's amazing how some fans create such incredible things.

Microsoft Defender flags the retro gaming library dgVoodoo2 as a Trojan - showing how garbage this is. The false-positive reporting portal is useless.
Meanwhile, malware with expensive certificates slips through undetected-while this antivirus is still forced on users by default.

Finished Barking from the Dark (2026).
Atmospheric and unusual game about a railway crossing. Got startled a couple of times by jump scares. First half is calm and slow-paced, second is more eventful.
Short but enjoyable experience.
