i prefer steelseries mice - I need to run its software to maintain its ultra low battery usage mode - battery life is 18 days longer without RGB so I haven't really bothered looking if Microsoft supports it.
given my longest lasting mice have been steelseries I know they make good hardware as well.

All hardware makers are annoying. They all force you to use their software to access features.
Need to use RGB fusion to get any RGB on my motherboard (though it supports Dynamic lighting)
Need to use Powercolor app to get RGB on my GPU
Need to use mouse software to change profile settings, but it does save some info onto the mouse
The on-board memory on the mouse will save the last active profile in Engine. The mouse will only save the following on board:

  • Basic button bindings, such as mouse/keyboard buttons
  • CPI Settings
  • Polling Rate
  • Lighting Disabled


no hardware makers want to share.
Logitech aren't that bad really, can use dynamic lighting with their mice.

It takes a lot of work to go on hiatus in Dune Awakening. I was going to just nurture the base for a few months until Guido's xmas break, but I decided today I don't really want to bother. We'll lose the base and all the stuff in there that you can' t pick up. The rest of the stuff we can take to Arakeen and store it there. We have a few vehicles we are going to lose, which is painful and the crafting machines, power generator, water generators, etc. We may log back in in December and just say, "nah."
 
Still playing POE1 and so far my build remains very, very good. So the good news i can do all the content, the bad news is that after a quick check i can probably do up to 24 challenges. 4 short of what i need. Again the problem is the serious grind or too much luck based to succeed for one person. I'll keep playing till october and see what happens.

The other Path of exile news is of course the POE2 weekend. Beat act 1 to get all the loot? yes please. bad news is that i need to download 100Gb first... unlikely to even be ready till tomorrow lunchtime. How long will it take me to get past act 1? we shall see. i mean, in POE1 you can normally blitz act 1 very quickly (if you don't do the side content). Once i've beaten act 1 i'll play a bit more before uninstalling it. Twitch is of course streaming and giving a way a free gift. EDIT: correction its a skin for your stash (a clam shell) and a helmet (helmet of the abyssal). I'm all for more cosmetics!

I did another mission with the fifth character in Backpack Heroes and it went a lot better. This one let me expand my backpack size, which really helps, but it gave me some ideas on how to complete the other mission. However, I'm halfway through another attempt and it's not going very well, mostly because I have a terrible weapon for this setup and got no good relics from the first boss.



My friends and I continued our Barotrauma game this evening. It was going pretty well until we got to an outpost that had been overrun by aliens. We downed the first one without too much issue... or at least we thought we did. Turns out it wasn't quite dead yet and it regenerates pretty quickly. It had also fallen down the ladder into our sub and we had used most of our ammo on taking it down the first time.

Suffice it to say that we decided to reload the previous save when we play next time.

Last time I played was before Covid. Is that long enough?
Dunno. It happens when one of their updates changes something about planets that requires them to re-generate the galaxies.

OK, I just checked, and they don't want to do any more resets. The last one was 2018. There was an update that added a bunch of new biomes, but they did it by simply adding more planets to many star systems. I guess they are taking all their desires to make really big updates to the game and dumping them into Light No Fire.
