Same here. My main issues with Anthem were the technical issues at launch and that they abandoned it so fast.
I really enjoyed the gameplay and visuals. I sometimes fire it up again, only to find I already know pretty much all this game has to offer.
A bit of an acquired taste, but the entire Earth Defence Force series can be played split screen (2P only). The best entry point into the series is EDF 5 (story reboot, QoL tweaks) which is often deeply discounted. Plus its direct sequel EDF 6 just released in the west last month
I did multiple playthroughs, over ~150h. I do not expect to return to it, now that EDF6 is out. It reaaaaaally resembles EDF5. From what I have seen thus far, it could be called an "expandalone". There is much more difference between EDF4.1 and EDF5 than EDF5 and EDF6
It's really good but like 30% too long for my taste. I had to push myself forward to complete it.
Sweet liberty, this new level 10 difficulty sounds like an amazing clusterfuck festival.
Code::Blocks is still chugging along, albeit at a glacial pace.
The rise of Docker has made containers very popular in the last 10 years or so. Nowadays you can run a single WSL2 VM on Windows with a Linux distro, and run any number of containers inside it. Vagrant is useful if you need full-fledged VMs for your environments.
I do. I used to juggle between Code::Blocks, PyDev, NetBeans and others, depending on projects. I find VS Code kind of fulfills the promise of Eclipse of being an all-purpose IDE, without the bloat Eclipse became synonymous with. It really clicked for me when I started using devcontainers. I am now a big fan of the whole development containers concept and use it in VS Code daily...
It is quite delightful, which is a nice change of pace from Limbo and the others. I played it last year with game pass and really enjoyed my short time with it.
It feels balanced between the commando and the EATs. Not having to run back and pick the remaining ordnance is nice, plus there is a small amount of "heat seeking". The lesser damage and increased cooldown offset these advantages.
The commando really shines with the bots to blow up buildings though.
Because Google is eating the monumental costs of hosting and delivering video content. The cost of maintaining client apps is negligible in comparison. YouTube is not going anywhere unless Google deems it so, or enshittifies it enough to drive users away.
It targets 30 fps and mostly stays there in my experience. Moving from a gaming PC to a Steam Deck to spread democracy on the go is a very big downgrade though.
