I viewed “let’s play” series of Alan Wake 1 and 2. Just wanna share my thoughts re AW2. There are spoilers below.
So much reading. Yes, you can skip a lot of those. Yes, the title is Alan Wake 2 and Wake is a writer. But a gamer who very much dislikes reading may be turned off or think “I may be missing much by skipping most of the reading, so I’ll drop this game.”
It seems Alice is alive. So she’s been living sans Alan for 13 years minimum. Extremely :(. I wanted a :) end for them. I can imagine an AW2 where the year is 2013 instead of 2023, and Alan was able to escape the “dark place” in 2013 and live with Alice happily. The writer (I dislike Sam Lake’s writing so I’m not saying Sam Lake) can figure out the plot gymnastics in between to make the game so interesting.
Scratch slew Jaakko Koskela so easyyy. So powerful. He could just slay Anderson, Casey, Cult of the tree and the Fbc at the start.
The Fbc’s light arrays placed far from each other outside the sheriff’s station were plot convenience.
Anderson aided Wake with writing the end despite Wake inserting Logan and David in the tale. Meh.
Sarah and Barry were sidelined. :(
Sam Lake most likely disliked a fairy-tale :) end for AW2 but don’t say that in horror, the hero must pay a price to save his pals (or something like that) like it’s a rule.
It’s time.com’s best 2023 game but it’s 👎 for me.

Hours ago I viewed Civil war. It was entertaining but not great.
Plemons’ scene was 👍. He’s 👍 at the remorseless killer role. In my mind I compared that scene to the cliched action scene in countless movies where there were so much killing. In that cliched scene, the deaths had little effect on me. Since the writer didn’t establish some kind of connection to the viewer? Maybe? While in Plemons’ scene, I didn’t want Jessie and Lee to die, so the 2 Asians’ deaths were effective for me. Also, Jessie, Lee, Joel and Tony didn’t know what to say to Plemons’ question. Does saying something matter? What’s the right answer? So Plemons will let us go. I guess that type of writing makes tension.
Jessie going to the line of fire at the end was lame.

I’m :) that games don’t suck me. I play 1 game only – Stardew valley. I enjoy but I can’t play 3 hours straight.

While the left mouse button is held down, I can put the window on the left or the right. I have no concern. But I noticed the difference compared to Chrome. In Chrome, the new window is there while the left mouse button is held down. In Firefox, it’s a thumbnail.
For many monitors, I never had more than 1 monitor, so can’t talk re it.
I can drag out tabs. What do you mean?
No performance issue on my Firefox too. I have Ublock origin.
I’ve been using Firefox and Ublock origin on my Samsung a70 for a long time. I’m :).
If you <3 10, downloading 11 isn’t a must, I think. I was still on 7 when 10 was released.
I started using Windows 11 in December 2023 and tried to just use sleep. My 🔋 drained fast while my 💻 was on sleep. I expected it. AMD and Intel processors generally aren’t as efficient as the Apple M soc.
While it was on sleep, there were times it suddenly needed to restart.
I once had a blue screen of death too.
So now, I shut it down most of the time. Windows 11 boot-ups and shutdowns are surprisingly fast. :)
What I noticed – I turned on my 💻, opened Firefox then Firefox was updating. It was fast. So it hasn’t been annoying so far.
There are a few phones (I hope there’ll be more) that last 2 days with medium use. I’m :) for folks with those phones.
There are 4 Samsung apps that I’ll erase if it’ll be just a tap. So it’s not very 👎. I can use Android debug bridge to erase those but I won’t bother. If there are 30 bloat apps, I’ll erase those.
I’ve been using my Samsung a70 for about 2 years. The Samsung apps are generally fine.
On Windows, Firefox has been my main browser for a long time. On Android, it has been my main for about 2 years. 1 of things I like re Firefox is its strict tracking protection. I read that Chrome would block by default 3rd-party trackers for 1% of the Chrome users this month. What about Google trackers? Anyway, it’s absurd to expect privacy features from a firm that has advertising as 1 of its profit generators.
I want Firefox to grow at its own pace. I hope more folks will talk re Firefox. I think 1 of the factors why Firefox isn’t so famous is –
In the phone and tablet boom in the last 10 years, some tended to use the default browser. For example, Safari on iPhone and iPad. Samsung, the top phone brand, has its own browser.
I won’t be :o if, among phone browsers, more are using Samsung Internet browser (SIb) over Firefox.
I <3 Firefox. My phone is Samsung but I didn’t and won’t install SIb.
If Firefox focus Android has user-friendly tab management, it’ll be my main browser. Its native ad blocker is 👍. 1 may say that there’s Firefox Android + Ublock origin. But I <3 Firefox and I’m :) they have a native ad blocker.
Does it apply to Firefox Windows too? I couldn’t resume some of my direct downloads. 1 factor why I’ve preferred torrents.
Sponsorblock’s been epic! Props to the coder and the contributors.
