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.
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…
Vivaldi is closed source and based on Chromium (albeit modified), so it does not sound all that appealing. As long as uBlock origin, NoScript and Tampermonkey can unleash their full potential in Firefox, I’m likely to stick with it.
We have hundred of individual repos and use git flow: short lived feature branches but also long lived develop, master and support branches (for LTS releases).
A few too many superlatives in their pitches for my taste. Not a bad idea overall, though the bias in favor of Rust is strong. Did it really become the go-to (heh) memory safe programming language for performance ?

I’ve been an engineering manager myself for the last 10 years and one thing I have also found is that I still like doing hands on stuff. You have to manage your own motivation, not just that of your team(s), regardless of what the “ideal way” to spend your time looks like in your environment.
Sure as a manager you have to plan, communicate, go to meetings, handle conflicts, prioritize tasks and so on. When all is said and done, keeping a slice of time doing what originally got you in the engineering business in the first place, might be just the thing that keeps you going.
My playthrough lasted 8.5 hours and was well worth experiencing.
Took me five hours start to finish. Not rushing but not trying very hard to find secrets either.
Perfect game pass game that one.
Ordered-ish by recommendation:
You can hear a more detailed explanation on VLC’s stance from the man himself (JB Kempf) in the FOSS pod S1E11 episode around 22:10.
Basically:
Here goes mine roughly ordered by date of completion:
God of War (PC): Excellent action game all around. You can see where all that AAA budget goes.
Doors: Paradox (PC): Charming indie puzzle game, easy and chill.
Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves collection (PC): Finally an Uncharted game playable with mouse and keyboard.
The Dungeon Of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet Of Chaos - Back to the Futon DLC (PC): Expansion-sized DLC, more of the same and brings the story to a close.
The Division 2 & Warlords of New York (PC): Full 3 player co-op campaign and expansion playthrough. Not a huge fan, but enjoyable with friends.
Half-Life: Alyx (PC, Valve Index): My second full playthrough. Still amazing, still the very best PC VR has to offer.
Kena: Bridge of Spirits (PC): Beautiful and bittersweet. Not too hard but some optional challenges are.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Switch): Went in without much hype, and spent 200h over 2 months going at it. A strange case where the expansion is bigger and better than the base game 😉
Risk of Rain 2 (PC): Managed a couple successful runs in co-op then stopped. Roguelikes are not my thing, but co-op games are.
Planet of Lana (Xbox): Short and sweet puzzle platformer. Not high fidelity visuals but quite nice nonetheless.
Ratchet and Clank 2016 (PS4): Played this anticipating to play Rift Apart later on. Very good for a newcomer to the franchise like me.
Remnant 2 (PC): Excellent sci-fi Souls-like with very good replayability. Great both in solo and co-op (did ~2.5 playthroughs).
Guild Wars 2 Secrets of the Obscure (PC): Fourth expansion for this 11-year old MMORPG. Best in the genre as far as I am concerned.
Cyberpunk 2077 (PC): Been waiting for years until I heard the game was finally “finished”. Still encountered some jankiness but a compelling and memorable experience nonetheless.
Marvel’s Spider-man Remastered (PC): Had it on PS4 already for the kids for a couple of years, bought it again on PC on sale to get the best experience.
Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart (PC): Gorgeous and bombastic fun, strongly recommend. Surprisingly it’s a sequel of the main series, not of the 2016 reboot.
Jusant (Xbox/PC): Kind of a vertical walking simulator. Eerie and original, does not overstay its welcome.
Dead Space 2023 (PC): Had bounced off the original pretty quickly back in the day. This remake got me hooked all the way to the end.
Endless Dungeon (PC): Odd mix of action rpg, tower defense and roguelike. Not that great, but its co-op support picks up the slack.
Marvel’s Spider-man: Miles Morales (PC): Not as good as the original in my opinion, but tighter and shorter.
Operation Tango (PC): Co-op only short and unusual first-person puzzler.
Also, I will likely be done with Resident Evil 2 2019 and Cocoon before the year is over.
Be your own streaming service, and keep using the FireTV stick with the Jellyfin app.
I would say it is more of a practical consideration. Private trackers generally enforce upload/download ratios. This ensures the health of the sharing pool stays good.
Debatable, likely because Google pretty much killed it.
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
