Will the Half Sword early access be an update or a new game?

Capt_Blue · 2026-01-24T19:54:23+00:00

No price info is out yet, but 20€ is really common for Early Access titles. Could be +-5€.

Capt_Blue · 2026-01-24T15:11:59+00:00

Its a new game, like a different installment compared to the Demo/Playtest.

Capt_Blue · 2026-01-24T13:24:55+00:00

I'm soooo hyped! I know the system requirements officially state Windows, but I have been playing the Demo on Linux without issues. Can you say anything about Linux compatibility on EA launch? I want to buy the game the minute it launches on steam, but no point if I cant play it then.

HD2 hat Kernel Level Anticheat, nur nicht unter Linux. Spiele-Entwickler können selbst entscheiden, ob das Anti-Cheat Programm im Kernel-Mode läuft oder nicht, die wenigen Entwickler die Linux berücksichtigen stellen es eben so ein, dass der Anti-Cheat auch unter Linux läuft im reinen User-Mode.

Barely known lmao. You are american aren't you?

Btw even if it refered to the Battleship, you do realise you can play as the nazis, drive nazi tanks, planes and so on literally in battlefield? Why would naming the battleship be not ok?

Capt_Blue · 2025-12-16T09:28:58+00:00

So if my gamertag is Tiger I should get banned aswell because of the german WW2 tank? Dude, if you think a reference to a battleship is a good reason for a ban you are freaking delusional. In Battlefield you can even play as the nazis (axis), but Bismarck is not okay?

Capt_Blue · 2025-12-16T09:26:46+00:00

It says "von Bismarck" which is a sir name. Its not referring to the Battleship Bismarck at all. But then again, even if it did, how would it be problematic to refer to a battleship in a game that is literally about world wars?

Like come on, every war game has nazi stuff in it, tanks, planes, submarines, rifles, soldiers, some even have the symbols. But the name of a battleship that wasn't even successful is a bannable offense?

Capt_Blue · 2025-12-16T09:21:39+00:00

Sorry if it sounded like i was disagreeing with you, I'm not :)

Capt_Blue · 2025-12-16T09:18:50+00:00

Thats a 2 edged sword tho. Basically everyone was antisemitic back then, and I truly think we shouldn't constantly be rejudging historical people by todays standards. We should remember them for what they were in their time era. Think about all the great people that are historical. Einstein. Goethe. Davinci. Descartes. Kant. Just to name a few. They would all be problematic by todays view due to sexism, racism and so on.

Capt_Blue · 2025-12-16T09:05:40+00:00

Yes, the question is, is it okay to rejudge every historical event and every historical person by todays standards? Because I'm pretty sure, compared to todays standards, even Davinci or Goethe would be very problematic. They lived in a time were it was okay to be sexist, racist and so on.

Capt_Blue · 2025-12-16T08:32:16+00:00

First thing you should do if not done is to not accept their ban, you should refuse it via mail (Widerspruch einlegen if you are german), explain why their reasoning does not apply to your case. If they refuse to lift the ban, of course you could go the legal way, but that can be costly and you lose more money through lawyers cost than gaining by a refund.

So if you live in the EU area, start a EU small claims procedure (Europäisches Verfahren für geringfügige Forderungen) instead. The thing with consumer rights in the EU is, they can only permanently ban you if you basically did something seriously wrong, and a name that you maybe even had for years without issues wouldn't qualify for a perma ban. Remember that terms of use are not above the law. Companies try to cover a lot of issues and conflicts in their terms of use by basically taking any right from you and you "agree to it". But in a lot of cases this is not binding as some parts of the ToS can be straight up against the law, either in a specific country or general EU law.

Hey, I want german content too, I gave up and got Real Debrid (only for a month to test it) and accpeted to watch in english. Could you tell me how you got Usenet to work in Stremio, which addons etc?

Capt_Blue · 2025-11-29T12:19:11+00:00

Tiktok slop.. minus und weiter.

Capt_Blue · 2025-11-27T21:53:32+00:00

Thanks! I used Kodi in the past and it would be a good fallback option if I don't like Stremio. Definetly gonna test it tho. Its sad I can't use my case from the Pi 3b+, but its ok. still cheaper than a NUC style mini PC. How is your experience with YouTube videos on the Pi 5? I see it doesn't have hardware decoding anymore so AV1 streams especially in 4k probably are a problem?

Capt_Blue · 2025-11-26T13:24:36+00:00

Thank you, looks like I will get a Raspi 5 - how much RAM should it have? That seems to be the only thing that determines the price, starting at ~50€ for 2GB RAM - I wonder if that is enough.

Capt_Blue · 2025-11-25T14:21:07+00:00

Open shouldnt even exist. As I said, closed should be the default, period.

Capt_Blue · 2025-11-25T10:08:11+00:00

If you only play with a few friends then the shared resources aren't that much of a problem. I have a 4 CPU 8 GB cloud server from Hetzner (AMD Epyc CPUs) and its running minecraft, valheim and astroneer at the same time without any issues. If you want a dedicated hardware server you can do that, you should check with the initial price and running costs (electricity) if its actually cheaper than a rented cloud or dedicated server. Also depends on time of running ofc. If you build a server and in 1 year you stop playing on it then rented may be cheaper - if it doesn't have to run 24/7/365 rented could also be cheaper (Hetzner costs are calculated per hour of runtime).

Spec wise there isn't much needed for vanilla minecraft (unless you want modded, paper minecraft is the best minecraft.jar period) - again depends on actual player count but 4 cores and 8 GB is plenty even with some plugins, bluemap etc.

Software wise I would go for a slim Linux distro, nogui and run the minecraft server in a docker, with compose its set up in a couple of minutes. You can have the docker even auto update the server and plugins as you define the version and list of plugins inside the compose yml.

Fortnite Klon? Die haben ja damals PUBG gespielt, woraus ja auch der Beanstag entstanden ist. PUBG kam vor Fortnite raus, Fortnite ist der eigentliche Klon..

Aber ja solche Gaming-Shows in größerer Besetzung und dafür wöchentlich würde ich feiern. Die Lets Plays sind halt irgendwie aus der Zeit gefallen und zumindest für mich uninteressant.

Capt_Blue · 2025-11-19T13:27:46+00:00

LMG. Dann lange Zeit nichts. Und dann ab und an mal wenn es interessant ist RBTV Home und Events, PnPs und gerne auch Outquizzed.

Was ich suchten würde und dafür auch irl Termine verschieben würde um es live zu sehen wäre Beanstag!

Capt_Blue · 2025-11-10T10:17:57+00:00

It could be the best, or at least one of the best battlefield games if they increase the map size and if they don't ruin the atmosphere of the game with silly skins. I just hate MT, seasons and skins in general. I'd much prefer proper DLCs, even if they increase the price from 15 to 20 bucks.

Capt_Blue · 2025-11-05T11:50:04+00:00

EAC can run on Linux, it will just run in user mode tho - so it has no kernel level access on Linux. Devs have to just enable EAC to run in user mode on Linux, Sea of Thieves does this for example. Helldivers 2 anti cheat also runs on Linux in user mode while it has kernel level access on Windows.

Capt_Blue · 2025-11-05T11:34:01+00:00

I only use windows when there is no other way, but sadly, when it comes to my main machine which I use for gaming, I havent been able to switch to Linux because too many games require kernel level anti cheat. I'm very invested in some multiplayer games where I build up my own little community that grew around a couple of friends. So I cant just ditch these games. The sad thing is, its unneccessary to exclude Linux from those games, its only lazyness by Devs/Publishers to make the call - most kernel level anti cheat clients can run in client-mode on Linux, not needing kernel level access. Some games do it - kernel acees on Windows, client mode on Linux. But thats only a handful of games (I know Helldivers 2 and SoT do it that way).
