Despite having quite a machine [Ryzen 7950X / 64Gb / Optane 5800X / 3090Ti], Stalker is notoriously known to stutter due to it’s old and heavily modified engine with it’s substantional dependence on a single thread performance. Here is a list of tweaks, which i came up during long AI conversations. ■ OGSE_CONFIG.LTX [alife] ai_distance 140 switch_distance 130 objects_per_update 5 max_hear_dist 100 The most important tweaks, that effects NPC processing in a very positive way OGSR is based around OGSE so settings are located in ogse_config.

For the most part, it is a note to myself, because most of the website audience is English speaking people. I highly doubt that i cover Russian segment of the interwebs. [TV show] was dedicated to video game reviews, featuring a highly engaging and witty approach . For a strange [or not so strange] reason some of the series are not accessible from Russian YT, that is why i have decided to stash it in the cloud and preserve media for a future use.

Enough of tekno jibber-jabber for now, let’s listen to the groove, sometimes music tells even more than lots of words. YELLO ■ STARLIGHT SCENE

UPDATED ON: 2026-06-11 I was never a fan of Windows 8, especially the 8.0 operating system. Yes, it is fast, but the overall concept, ergonomics, and looks were quite pathetic. However, since the appearance can easily be changed, I decided to reconsider my opinion. Frankly speaking, I planned to do this around October to match the EOL (End of Life) of Windows Server 2012 R2, hoping that server updates could somehow be ported to the desktop version.

You can run Renoise 3.5.X branch in Windows 7 with the help of [VxKex Next] kernel extensions. For some reason application installer blocks installation in Windows 8.1 environment. However, we can easily unlock this stupid restriction. Of course we can change major and minor versions of the OS requirements via [CFF Explorer] , but luckily there is an easier way to handle such obstacle. We can just unpack installer by means of [InnoExtract] utility.

Note: the track is not available in paramilitary locations. We haven’t heard anything really good from maestro Orbit in a long time, so here it is. Make sure to listen through bass-voiced speakers or neat quality Hi-Fi earphones. WILLIAM ORBIT ▀ THE DIVER FEAT. NATALIE WALKER [2022]

If i get around something useful i’ll drop in acquired information here Despite that OGSR has newer 64bit engine and is way better than original 32-bit Stalker, it is quite prone to crashes. This small note is aimed at accumulation of all available methods, which help to improve stability of the game by any means. ESSENTIAL THINGS TO DO reinstall [DirectX9] / reboot reinstall [OpenAL] / reboot reinstall [Visual C++ libraries] / reboot turn off SMT in BIOS or do it by means of [Process Lasso] or assign CPU affinity via Windows task manager [less convenient] let the game use only 4 physical cores, more cores is worse because the game don’t know how to use them IF NOTHING HELPS

I am not even going to poke the game for its enormous amount of bugs and atrocious performance, even on relatively powerful machines. Frankly speaking, there are loads of other reasons that are unacceptable to die-hard fans of the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Here’s a quick breakdown of the whys. GLOBAL THINGS TO MENTION The story isn’t even remotely close to the quality of the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R [Stalker 2 is about messing around with faction relationships, not exploring the Zone world at all]

Quite simple, but addictive groove based primarily around mastering and special effects. Oskalizator ▀ Absolve

UPDATED ON: 2026-04-23 Some preface words: recently I’ve had a couple of attempts at trying to play Stalker 2. When I realized that I can’t handle the game, I decided to give it a try by watching a let’s play. After wasting almost 4 hours watching a let’s play from a trusted streamer, I fully understand that playing or watching this game is beyond my comprehension. Moreover, in a half an hour I realized that I completely and fully forgot about the excellent Stalker: Shadow Of Chernobyl [OGSR modification] .

IBM OS/2 WARP 3 IN ACTION For those who crave [more information] and not only operating system porno. Guy is speed-running the very last version: IBM OS/2 WARP 4.52.

UPDATED ON: 2026-04-03 ₮ INTRODUCTION It’s been a loooooooong two months since I ordered this audio device and more importantly, since I’ve been without a player at all. Going without a quality audio source was truly torturous, especially since I sold my HiBy R8 II immediately after deciding to upgrade. So, it’s a real delight that the DAP has finally arrived. This place is well-known for it’s short, concise notes aimed at not wasting your precious time.

Frankly speaking, i’m not a fan boy of medieval times and all of that magical stuff out there, but i have to admit that my taste has changed due to inevitable maturing process. Previously, i wrote about excellent [Spartacus series] , which i already watched more than two times. Today’s discovery is a medieval fantasy drama with some humor elements. [A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms] was recommended by current coworker of mine.

Note: This document covers the installation procedure only, it does not include network configuration. First, download the specific version of X-Ray that is compatible with Windows 7 Second, since the V2RayN client has dropped Windows 7 support, you may encounter compatibility warnings. You need to identify which version retains the latest features while still running on Windows 7. I have already done this research for you, so you don’t have to explore the wilderness.

I have gotten tired of the week which I spent on job interviews, where I’ve seen different types of psychological “performances” by potential employers. There were a small number of decent people, but frankly speaking, in majority of cases it was a freak show consisting of loutish human resources recruiters, self-satisfied leaders and pretentious CEO poseurs who actually have no idea who they’re looking for. So the essential thing to do was to drop that horrible shit aura and get busy with something positive.

Mozilla has recently demonstrated significant generosity toward the Windows 7 user base, despite a lack of widespread demand. According to the [Firefox release calendar] , the three-year-old ESR version continues to receive support extensions. This is a quite notable development. Many users, including members of my [Windows 7 Discord community] , prefer to remain on official software versions rather than switching to custom hacks like [Redfox] . In another words, web support of “obsolete”, almost 20 years old operating system, stays confident and strong even in 2026.

[Totally unexpected movie] from [Sam Raimi] , especially after almost five years of creative silence. I almost skipped this trailer because it was categorized as a rom-com. Then, halfway through, I saw “Directed by Sam Raimi” and instantly changed my mind. The film is packed with Sam’s signature style: mature, satirical, and grotesque humor solid acting and recognizable VFX [ Evil Dead ][ & ]I[ vibes are surely here ] usage of first person and wide angle perspectives [ reminded me of Evil Dead movies, again ] and yes, there is a zombie scene Overall verdict: Highly recommended.

UPDATED ON: 2026-03-07 Today i was given a low-epc potatto net top with the words: This machine should run PostgreSQL, run web applications in Firefox web browser, we don't consider any upgrades at all, do your thing Quite harsh, but who cares? Actually installing second RAM stick with another 4Gb or inserting really fast USB stick and tune it for using [ReadyBoost] would be quite helpful, to say the least.

Basically i am doing the same stuff, but with a previous generation Ryzen 7950X and top-of-the-line 3090Ti. AMD RYZEN 9950X RUNNING WINDOWS 7

Previous software list dedicated specifically to [Android 8] . I decided not to touch the previous app list to keep the chronology intact. This will be a modern list, specifically related to Android 16. I’m forced to use the stock version of Android because I need a decent camera phone like the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. I can’t install non-stock firmware, as it would break the camera functionality, which is mandatory for me.

Somewhere down the line, if I’m still kickin’ and still sticking to my Windows 7 addiction, I’ll try to build the most powerful Windows 7 rig possible. It’ll be based on the latest Ryzen 11950X/12950X or maybe a Threadripper 10995WX/11995WX [or even Epyc], paired with 128GB of dual-channel or 192GB of octa/twelve channel memory, depending on the platform. The system drive will be an [Intel Optane P5810X 400GB] for ultra-fast access to small files, and the main data drive will be something based upon 15Gb/s PCIe 5.

The most insane machine that make the most advanced computer chips ever. Favorite comment on the thread: We literally mastered creating 50,000 mini-supernovas a second just so I can watch this video on the toilet. Humanity has peaked. THE WORLD’S MOST IMPORTANT MACHINE

Accidentally stumbled upon this well-known track on the scope of YouTube. ROBERT MILES ▀ CHILDREN

However [this event] will completely unaffect advanced users, because they already exploit hacked [v14] and [v15] versions of Tor developed by [Blaukovitch] & [adeii] . Due to stability reasons, currently version 15 comes only in x86 revision. Take a note: version 15 is based around Firefox 140 ESR. Version 14 is based around Firefox 128 ESR and available for both architectures [x86/x64]. So, Windows 7 users are future-proofed again. This is becoming a neat tradition.

I already wrote about magnificent Far Manager [in the past] . It is ridiculously fast orthodox text file manager, which can deliver Linux-like experience to your Windows 7 machine. Version 3.x is way more advanced than Linux’s [Midnight Commander] . Since i spent quite much time in appointed file manager and even caught myself couple of times doing coding works right in the internal editor instead of VS Code… And then i thought: “why don’t i make my spending time in the environment more pleasant for my eye”.

Failing to believe in sci-fi and the high-tech industry, I’m beginning to think that the future is not as interesting as the past. And this feeling isn’t triggered by nostalgia, it’s something more fundamental and solid that leads me to think this way. A movie geek friend of mine recommended [Apocalypto] , and I’m just sharing this excellent offering with all the readers of this website. In today’s reality, we don’t have many great movies, but this one surely belongs to the finest category.

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.

Some day, if i have an opportunity i’d like to visit this [audio show] in Singapore. Why Singapore? Because it is the largest expo in terms of represented audio manufacturers in the entire world. I am dreaming to listen to a bunch of devices like: Luxury & Precision P6 Pro Luxury & Precision LP6 / LP6 Ti Lotoo PAW Touch GT2 Cayin N30LE [Mysticraft Hex & Subtonic Storm] Hope that the dream will become true.
