Both of them are based upon Windows 10 LTSC, so you are backed with updates until 2032! Of course appointed projects are in the active development and have numerous of bugs here and there. I hope that someday they will become fully functional replacements of atrocious Windows 10 user interface. And if i switch to Windows 10 i will surely exploit them, to hide myself from Windows 10 default tastelessness.

I’ve mentioned before how much I adored [WWF WrestleMania] growing up. For me personally, it outshone Mortal Kombat even despite MK’s massive acclaim because of it’s richer combo system and buttery-smooth animations that made every move feel quite impactful. S [DOWNLOAD IT HERE] Enjoy the game!

You maybe already aware that i am a fan of beat’em’up arcade coin-op games like [Streets Of Rage] . And i just want to report that i found another hidden gem in this genre, called [Final Vendetta] developed by [Bitmap Bereau] UK game studio, which focuses primarily on doin’ pixel art games pretty much for any console on the market, even vintage ones, like [Neo Geo] ! The game is done completely obeying the trends of 90s, has stunning pixel art graphics, fluid animations, groovy rave beats matching aesthetics of the era and it looks like that it is very hard to beat!

UPDATED ON: 2026-01-21 Ok, it looks like we have reached the official end of this wonderful operating system by Microsoft. Don’t beat me to hard on this, but the system undoubtedly has something special about it, offering cozy convenience reminiscent of late 2010s. Here is a link to the final official patch at microsoft [security bulletin database] . Seems like [Ghacks] is not providing windows updates needs anymore.

No jibber-jabber here, just watch the review. In my opinion worn effect looks pretty cool and this should be noted by keyboard manufactures for sure. I am not even saying anything about form factor of the keycaps, because there are obviously groovy and have some charisma.

Looking back at my [previous post] , I thought that it would be a mandatory thing to do, just to safeguard you from playing complete junk. We’ll start with the good things. PROS OF 1945 AIR FORCE Pixel art graphics at its finest. I am not a big fan of epic orchestral music, so I will put just OK here. [yes, it is nicely arranged, and all genre requirements are met as they should be] Quite a “large” list of PROS, huh?

Back in time i was fond of [Jet’n’Guns game series] and i decided to find something similar and solid. Because i just can’t stand gameplay disbalance, repetition and greed of Sky Force Reloaded. Here is a quick list of shoot-em-up games which might be enjoyable to play. BLACK PARADOX [BLACK PARADOX] Very curios about it, pleasant pixel graphics, spiced up with retrowave soundtrack. FLYING TANK [FLYING TANK] Looks like a stylish obscure trinket, but you know that i like obscurity.

Before covid, before f#cking wars, before all these politics sh#t of recent days a great movie [The Platform] was filmed. This creation precisely shows the barebone framework of the countries with autocratic regimes, where ruler is not changed for years. Also it brings high ethical and philosophical topics for thought to the table. Tremendously solid acting, and intriguing story line hold you in a tension right till the end of the video narration.

Excellent low-budget SciFi short movie accidentally found on [DUST] youtube channel. I am not gonna talk about the plot - see it by yourself. It is definitely a very neat effort and it just begs for the part two. THE MACHINE

AT THE INTERSECTION OF CULTURES. I am not into rapcore or even pop music, but this is awesomely lit! The Russian band “Nemodnye” has released an absolutely stunning cover of the song by the well-known American rapcore band [Linkin Park - In the End], adding parts of lyrics from the pop song by the Russian band [Otpetye Moshenniki - Lyubi Menya, Lyubi].

Let’s quickly compare results from the most popular AI chatbots to estimate approximate real life picture. I think that weighted average would do the thing here. OS / AI GROK GPT AVG Windows XP 1 1-5 2.5 Windows 7.0 2 5-40 12 Windows 8.0 10 6-45 18 Windows 8.1 15 8-50 22 windows 10 62 20-70 54 windows 11 126 25-80 90 I believe that in case of windows 10/11 most of telemetry are hardcoded into the system core and you can do nothing about it, even if you remove most of telemetry and logging services at least half of applications that “dial-back” to third parties will still be present in the system.

Cowa-f#ckin’-bunga! I can’t believe my eyes and it looks like this pixel arcade is going to be gooood! Game is not released yet and will be [available on Steam] closer to the end of the year. OFFICIAL TRAILER I’ll definitely bookmark it for later purchase.

Note that this is ALPHA, test it in VM please, drop your suggestions at [Github] ! Windows 7 Premium Assurance is coming to an end in January 2026, so i’m considering Windows 8.1 migration. That is why i have decided to make an ultimate debloating script for Windows 8.1, which will be supported until October 2026. Ok, some preface words to clean things up a bit. I’ve done this configuration for my personal specific needs.

[The Toxic Avenger] is a fabulously reimagined take on the [1984 original] . To be honest, I never finished the original. I simply didn’t enjoy it enough to see it through. But this new version compelled me to watch it all the way to the very end. IT DELIVERS LOADS OF STUFF LIKE: a way tighter, more intense storyline surprisingly strong acting performances for a film of this genre excellent cinematography and sound design Overall, it feels like the most polished and confident entry in it’s category for the last couple of years.

Drawing on my past experience with [DOS batch scripting] , I’ve decided to streamline my workflow by cutting out tedious, repetitive file operations. Even though I’m using the lightning-fast [Far Manager] , it’s still not quite quick enough and frankly, file operations demands way too many keystrokes. This becomes especially irksome now that I’m juggling three projects at once. Taking them from home to work or vice versa. All that routine file shuffling eats up a sizeable chunk of my day.

UPDATED ON: 2025-10-22 Windows 8.1 has matured significantly over the years and can be seen as a natural continuation of the Windows 7 legacy. It strikes a balance between modern features and modest system requirements making it notably lighter than Windows 10. Key advantages and features include: Better multi core/thread support, comparing to older Windows 7 [due to more modern kernel and upgraded handling algorithms] Availability of hacked modern [2024] drivers for GeForce 3090Ti [click #1] | [click #2] [despite official hard block and claims that there is no drivers for Windows 8.

UPDATED ON: 2025-11-01 Some updates from the development fields. ▀ INTRO RANT Just want to take a break from mindlessly trimming trailing spaces and fixing indentation “issues” in my “learning” projects at overpriced online courses. If i have spare time i’ll surely drop that neat story on you, where i share lessons learned about reality of web development and avoiding costly mistakes when it comes to paid education (or in reality: self-learning).

The recent [significant surge phenomenon] in Windows 7’s popularity seems to be directly linked to following key factors: the termination of mainstream support for Windows 10 [which has driven users away from upgrading further] the widespread dissatisfaction many users have expressed regarding Windows 11 [a substantial number of users are clearly opting against Windows 11 due to its intrusive telemetry services and vague interface innovations] As a result, these users have flocked back to Windows 7, viewing on it as a stable, time-tested alternative free from constant irksome updates and excessive data collection practices.

I am not a frequent user of windows explorer, since i am using [Far Manger] as a complete replacement with way broader functionality. But recently i’ve stumbled upon very unusual feature of file explorer and i bet that most of you don’t even know about such thing. Do you know that you have an option to launch executables with assigned parameters, pretending that you are already in the command line?

UPDATED ON: 2025-09-15 So, why official end of life or the recent [extension of the lifecycle] until February/March 2026 of [ESR build] does not really change anything to Windows 7 addicts?

Why don’t i opt to create something genuinely beneficial for the Windows 7 community instead of “competing” with the dumb vibe pseudo “coders” at my workplace”.

UPDATED ON: 2025-06-30 Guide may contain inaccuracies and will be updated upon completion The beauty of this game is that it doesn’t require an insane hardware configuration. All you need is a decent Core Duo CPU from 2013, 512 MB of RAM, 800x600 resolution screen and most importantly a modern SSD to eliminate loading times. That’s it. Almost any computer meets such requirements these days. CH░RACTER CONCEPT no shooting weapons / only unarmed Sulik as an inventory mule hard game/combat difficulty STARTING STATS:

I currently have a rather uncertain life expectancy, and for some reason, I decided to write a recap post dedicated to my favorite RPG game of all times.

The first symptom of the infection was the random opening of unrelated websites in a separate window with the target attribute set to “_blank.” Upon further investigation, I discovered that it was a JavaScript file located in the sidebar section. I have no idea how it got there, but I immediately removed it. I checked the website and found that the issue had been resolved. After that, I checked my Windows 7 machine with the latest versions of NOD32 and Kaspersky.

Most of Windows 7 users are already familiar with the excellent [VXKex] kernel extension. It allows us to execute loads of artificially “incompatible” applications on time-tested Windows 7 operating system. Frankly speaking, the development of the original version is not so extensive these days. So, i have to provide a more recent fork, called [VXKex Next] , which is currently in very active development. [QUICK DL LINK] That’s all for today’s blip note.
