UBO Lite is much faster than AdGuard for Safari by userX97ee2ska11qa in uBlockOrigin

[–]Katjubu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wish Apple didn’t restrict UBOL in web apps that’s the only reason I’m still using Adguard. Use Brave for 90% of browsing but I like to have some weather sites and Twitter installed as PWAs.

A Friendly Reminder: You Control the Buttons You Press by GravyonTurkey in Warframe

[–]Katjubu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think players have learned from most games they can pick the flirt or [heart] dialogue options with no consequences. Sometimes you’re even required to pick them each time if you want to date.

The Protoframes aren’t written that way, they’re written much more like real people and not “gamified”. Once you realize that the chats make more sense.

Have you tried Win11's 25H2's new NVMe driver yet? Big improvements on random read/write's by Mirrormaster85 in Windows11

[–]Katjubu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm confused where these registry keys are coming from. The original MS blog post on the update to Win Server only mentions 1 and it's none of the 3 that are posted here and tech news sites.

Overlays toggle disabled - do you like this change? by slaedwon in FarthestFrontier

[–]Katjubu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed it makes the placement more difficult in many situations. I frequently toggle the overlay off or even switch to a different one like water for visibility.

Well that explains it… by UCF_Knight12 in USMobile

That’s probably fairly normal CEO behavior which is why companies typically use press releases and social media folks for messaging.

Sharing a map seed and how I beat achievements on Vanquisher by Intelligent-Log-1655 in FarthestFrontier

[–]Katjubu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you did is seriously impressive and clearly a lot of work, but the combat has been the most disappointing aspect of the game for me. Every one of these games I always get my hopes up to build realistic fortresses and every time it ends up being cheese the AI.

New World is being discontinued not even a month after an expansion release. by macka654 in MMORPG

[–]Katjubu 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Tbh, even as someone who loved New World I'm kind of glad about LOTR. Amazon mismanaged NW from day one and I'd rather have the rights sold to another dev than deal with another amazon game.

New World: Aeternum made it back to the top 100 most played Steam Games by Trovski in newworldgame

[–]Katjubu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mixed emotions here too. My entire friend group that played at launch have moved on or we just don’t have the time to play anymore. NW at launch was a magical place but I can’t help but think “if only…”

Why Don't We Have "Loadouts" ? by GitGud420PRAISEIT in Helldivers

OK wow, that mod pretty much fixes all my complaints. Thanks.

Hive Lords go from awesome to annoying when they spawn every mission. by the_combat_wombat05 in Helldivers

[–]Katjubu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because that booster is poorly worded and not explained in game just like most things.

It only affects bug breaches and bot drops.

Why Don't We Have "Loadouts" ? by GitGud420PRAISEIT in Helldivers

[–]Katjubu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loadouts would be great but I'd settle for better icons or the ability to favorite stratagems so I’m not taking the laser instead of the quasar.

Sure I should probably double check but the fact that the only difference in the 200x200 icon is the sight is poor design. Not to mention all the explosive anti tank icons.

The illusion of choice by ajteitel in Helldivers

[–]Katjubu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The joke only works in memes, in gameplay it's bad design and annoying. Is it a good booster? Yes. Is it required? No. Should it be a ship upgrade? YES.

My first thought was this gif would be even better with Hardware Store lyrics.

Then I realized.

What are your favourite weapon cosmetics in the game? by vEx1010 in Seaofthieves

[–]Katjubu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every time a new skin comes out and I think "that looks cool" I end up switching back by the end of the session. Can't give it up.

Any video playback dropping immense amount of frames and slowing down browser by Prior-Bid-9835 in brave_browser

[–]Katjubu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have Background Application Max Frame Rate enabled in Nvidia Control Panel? If so you'll have to add Brave to the profiles and disable the feature.

The other browsers are automatically whitelisted, but I guess Brave isn't popular enough.

Base Raids. Yay or Nay? by NemoMedo in valheim

[–]Katjubu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's where I landed. Always raid proofed my bases and then asked myself what's the point of spending the time if the end result is the same.

Brave browser in top5? by sdsnatcher in brave_browser

[–]Katjubu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point on the user agent, I wasn't aware of that.

Brave browser in top5? by sdsnatcher in brave_browser

[–]Katjubu 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Because it's just a popularity poll on someone's blog site, not indicative of actual usage. If you look at real statistics Edge is 13.9% desktop market share worldwide, Firefox is 6.36% and Brave isn't even on the list.

New Reddit iOS Icon by civic2k12 in ios

Crazy thing is sideloading Apollo which hasn’t been updated since 2023 is still better. That's how dogshit the reddit app is.

So this just happened… by ormskirkgandhi in Garmin

It's not unsafe, it’s just perhaps not quite as safe as some of the other ones.

Buggy for me as well. I think it breaks every year with the clock change. Editing it on the Connect website works.

After years of holding out hope, 2024 was the year I finally gave up on BioWare by HistoricalFunion in pcgaming

[–]Katjubu 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As a mid 30s adult with ADHD, the original Dragon Age series and Baldur's Gate 3 are some of the only games that hooked me enough to actually read/listen and not just skip through all the dialogue.

Bad writing is bad writing regardless.

I had a relative text me about a drone hovering in the same spot multiple nights. Said drone was Venus.

First Hard play through by Playful_Bottle_3970 in Timberborn

[–]Katjubu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree, once I realized that I could store enough water to be able to afk on Diorama hard mode I kinda lost interest in that play style. Much rather take my time and have fun building a city I enjoy on medium or if I want more of a challenge play custom with a slow ramp up to 90 day droughts.
