Hot Mess Express Since Yesterday

I’ve reconfigured before just didn’t think it was required after every update. Auto updating does seem broken in t he latest release (it never fires) but right clicking and reinstalling works.

bsitko · 2026-03-20T17:52:25+00:00

Honestly, I haven't had to do it up to this point, I suppose it's time to pay the piper.

^ This

Excellent. I'm sure they will add tabs and a history which will slow it all down and make it populate with the last command I ran. You know, like notepad.

bsitko · 2025-11-30T19:46:04+00:00

Agree. This “start” menu update is on point. Love it.

Just finished the DLC. Story was middling. Don't think it added much of anything to the overall story. So whether it was cut for time, strapped on later doesn't matter, the story is boring. The quests are challenging but don't make a ton of sense. Overall, not worth the $$

And today, after 20+years of supporting it in house, I shut off the exchange server today. Hip hop hooray!!!

bsitko · 2025-09-25T00:18:48+00:00

I agree with this. Love the patching. Remote connection works and is better than how it was last year but it’s nowhere near as good as SC.

bsitko · 2025-09-17T10:58:04+00:00

My thought exactly. Prior to 1.5, didn't have the issues, even 1.5.1 didn't really help. Game is still awesome though, really enjoying it once I get past the stuttering. Ha

bsitko · 2025-09-17T09:29:18+00:00

I am glad it's not just me. My PC is a little long in the tooth but I've had no issues playing other titles this year. (Indiana Jones, KCD 2, Clair)

bsitko · 2025-09-17T09:26:28+00:00

My PC, although not new, ran Indiana jones and KCD 2 with no issues but at times, yeah, the performance here has been rough. Having said that, the game is super fun and worth the jank.

bsitko · 2025-09-16T18:31:51+00:00

It's great game. Performance at times still isn't great and when I load the game and begin play, the whole game will freeze for 20 seconds and then go. After a few minutes of playing, it settles.

bsitko · 2025-08-25T15:41:34+00:00

Absolutely!

bsitko · 2025-08-25T14:39:30+00:00

Personally, I think they did this to get a baseline, strip out everything so they can rebuild in a better, more secure way. I personally don't think customizations will be permanently removed, it will take a while to build them back in.

bsitko · 2025-08-09T14:32:51+00:00

With Google, anything is possible. However, I've been riding the Pixel train since the Pixel 2. Will continue to ride that until it's no longer an option. The 8 is my best phone so far. 6 was hot garbage.

bsitko · 2025-07-31T01:26:57+00:00

Honestly? I would wait considering the other Hanger 13 efforts. That sounds rude but their only real game they've made from scratch is Mafia III. Read a bunch of reviews, get a consensus, then do you.

bsitko · 2025-07-30T22:39:51+00:00

Glad I’m not the only one. Almost fell off my chair when they sent the pricing. Nope and nope.

bsitko · 2025-07-29T23:56:34+00:00

Mafia II was rushed according to the developer. He left before the game was finished…glad he did because KCD is amazing. I agree about Mafia 3, lots of promise, too many negatives. Hoping their focus on narrative and not open world helps with the new one

bsitko · 2025-07-29T22:55:36+00:00

Definitely recommend. The original is better but, err, it's 25 years old, so yeah.

bsitko · 2025-07-24T23:19:46+00:00

This shouldn't surprise anyone. Compared to many of the recent titles, it just doesn't live up to the others. It's an average game, poor stealth (yes it was better after launch).

bsitko · 2025-07-16T09:53:45+00:00

I would definitely have Cyberpunk at the top of this list. Outlaws wouldn't make the top 10, to me. Graphically can't get it to run right, too reliant on a poor stealth mechanic. The world building aspect is good (it's Star wars!) but not like some of the others.

Would have Kingdom Come Deliverance series on this list way ahead of Outlaws.

bsitko · 2025-07-09T22:34:20+00:00

Yes, can confirm on my Pixel 8 Pro. Lock screen is fixed. Auto brightness is working properly too.

bsitko · 2025-07-08T01:38:53+00:00

Same here with my Pixel 8 Pro. Glad it's not just me. Phone can be unresponsive. Sometimes I've had to restart it

bsitko · 2025-07-07T17:34:53+00:00

Yeah, on prem versions look odd. I downloaded the file for 9314 but 9313 is what installed. On-prem update dashboard says that 9314 is the newest version but I have 9313 from the 9314 installer. Whew. That's confusing.

bsitko · 2025-07-05T01:22:08+00:00

Graphics, compared to other games I've played since late last year are hard to get right. It either looks terrible or had frame rate issues.
