I’ve been yearning for one thing – The old school Gears feel, and thankfully, GOW more than delivers. Within \[...\] The post Gears of War: E-Day Hands-on Preview appeared first on NextPlay Australia . ## [Moonlight Peaks Review](https://next-play.com.au/moonlight-peaks-review/) _2026-08-11 · Jaclyn May · NextPlay Australia_ There are very few games that can scratch the cosy farming simulation itch, and even fewer that can scratch the itch well, but so far Moonlight Peaks has proven to be a contender as one of my favourite cosy simulation games I have played. As an avid lover of both Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley, \[...\] The post Moonlight Peaks Review appeared first on NextPlay Australia . ## [PAX Aus 2026 Tabletop Hall Set To Return With All Your Favourites + MORE](https://next-play.com.au/pax-aus-2026-tabletop-hall-set-to-return-with-all-your-favourites-more/) _2026-08-06 · Alex Beaty · NextPlay Australia_ It’s hard to believe PAX Aus 2026 is almost here again, yet with August now upon us it will be here before we know it! And it definitely wouldn’t be PAX without a feast of board games, TCGs, tournaments, roleplay and miniature painting, now would it? Ebay once again returns, sponsoring the epic Tabletop Hall, \[...\] The post PAX Aus 2026 Tabletop Hall Set To Return With All Your Favourites + MORE… ## [Go-Go Town! Review](https://next-play.com.au/go-go-town-review/) _2026-07-31 · Mario Milos · NextPlay Australia_ Go-Go Town! (GGT) is basically Dinkum with automation. The first few hours feel clunky as you learn how the various mechanics play, but once the automation loop begins, it quickly becomes one of the most satisfying cosy games I’ve played. What’s unique about GGT is tourism and how it impacts growth. As tourists arrive, some will \[...\] The post Go-Go Town!

Before jumping into the review, I want to comment on the translations. I’ve played a lot of Chinese games, \[...\] The post Pass the Fear Review appeared first on NextPlay Australia . ## [PAX Aus 2026 Special Guests Have Been Revealed](https://next-play.com.au/pax-aus-2026-special-guests-have-been-revealed/) _2026-07-25 · Alex Beaty · NextPlay Australia_ PAX Aus still feels like a lifetime away, yet October will be here before we know it! But which special guests will be joining us at PAX Aus this year? Well wonder no further?! PAX Aus has revealed the guest line-up for 2026, and some very exciting people are joining us this October.

It was an experience. When it launched alongside the original Xbox, it became the killer app that convinced people to buy the console. Halo wasn’t simply another shooter. It defined a generation, and trying to bottle that feeling \[...\] The post Halo: Campaign Evolved Review (PS5) appeared… ## [Echoes of Aincrad Review](https://next-play.com.au/echoes-of-aincrad-review/) _2026-07-23 · Mario Milos · NextPlay Australia_ The game opens with you and your friends beta testing Sword Art Online (SAO) before trouble ensues. During this time, you learn the basic mechanics, such as combat abilities and healing. Eventually, you’re ambushed by some player killers, defeat a Kobold Lord boss, and complete the dungeon before returning to town. Honestly, disguising a prologue \[...\] The post Echoes of Aincrad Review appeared… ## [Gothic 1 Remake Review](https://next-play.com.au/gothic-1-remake-review/) _2026-07-23 · Mario Milos · NextPlay Australia_ Gothic 1 Remake takes the 2001 cult classic RPG and brings it to the modern era, without changing much else. The inconsistent enemy placements and unforgiving early combat are still present. Whether this is good or bad depends on you. You’re an unnamed hero, dumped into the colony, required to prove your worth. Guards exploit \[...\] The post Gothic 1 Remake Review appeared first on NextPlay… ## [DREADMOOR Plans To Reel In A Demo This October](https://next-play.com.au/dreadmoor-plans-to-reel-in-a-demo-this-october/) _2026-07-17 · Alex Beaty · NextPlay Australia_ Developed by Dream Dock Games, Dreadmoor has been making waves since its reveal, garnering over 350,000 wishlists on Steam! After the likes of Dredge, no doubt players are eager to sail into another rich atmospheric fishing game, and this one definitely has the vibes. In Dreadmoor, players must fend off hellish creatures as they catch \[...\] The post DREADMOOR Plans To Reel In A Demo This October… ## [Anthony Ettinger on LinkedIn (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/7l0xh3sf1BQk) _2026-07-17 · **Sponsored**_ Public LinkedIn profile at linkedin.com/in/anthonyettinger. ## [Running Pixelflut on a 2010 router](/blog/mipselflut/) _2026-06-19 · kleines Filmröllchen · kleines Filmröllchen’s home page_ I have been very involved in the Pixelflut space for a few years. At GPN24 , some beings, including myself, formed a “special interest group” for Pixelflut including a Codeberg org , a new website , and work began on an RFC. And during that time, I also acquired a TP-Link Archer C7 (v2). A neat little all-in-one consumer router with WiFi, which notably is a well-supported OpenWRT platform.

This applies to this website, the software I write, any other creative works I publish, as well as any art affiliated with me. I am strongly opposed to generative AI, most importantly diffusion image/video generation and large language… ## [Debian’s ifupdown is a Dumpster Fire](/blog/debian-ifupdown/) _2026-04-22 · kleines Filmröllchen · kleines Filmröllchen’s home page_ Debian, in a case of being Debian that surprises absolutely noone, has a networking tool called ifupdown , alternatively known as /etc/network/interfaces (the config file) or by the binary names ifup and ifdown . This is not a standard cross-distro tool, but it’s also not the only way of doing network configuration on Debian. In fact, the first section on the Wiki page is literally called 4 ways… ## [Cthulhu’s Integration: CI Sucks, How to Improve It](/blog/cthulhu-integration/) _2026-01-11 · kleines Filmröllchen · kleines Filmröllchen’s home page_ I have been writing CI pipelines for the past three days straight. Well, that’s an understatement. I have been writing CI pipelines for a long time. Half of my dayjob at one point was writing CI pipelines for JetBrains TeamCity . I wrote my own CD tool at the start of this year for this exact website because everything else didn’t fit my needs. I operate no less than four Forgejo Actions runners.… ## [Rust Async is Just Set Theory](/blog/async-set-theory/) _2026-01-01 · kleines Filmröllchen · kleines Filmröllchen’s home page_ Recently, while working on penplot , I was having an epiphany looking at async combinators. By “combinators”, I mean select , join , race , and any others that perform some generic-higher-level action across multiple futures, allowing for complex program flow within a task. These all have quite nice parallels in theoretical computer science, namely formal languages and more generally set theory.… ## [Forgejo AI defense with iocaine](/blog/fuck-ai/) _2025-10-13 · kleines Filmröllchen · kleines Filmröllchen’s home page_ This post was written for iocaine 2. Version 3 changed the way that scripts work significantly, including having to generate your own garbage. I have since rewritten my handler script as a modified version of the default script with a slightly customized HTML template. All of the checks explained below still exist, just with different Roto syntax. I would recommend that you start by using the… ## [Penplot Part 1: An early look](/blog/penplot-1-intro/) _2025-09-19 · kleines Filmröllchen · kleines Filmröllchen’s home page_ I have been teasing my work on Penplot for a while now, but never coherently talked about what it actually is. So today I am changing that, with a first blog post about the history and early development of Penplot, my CNC plotter project. MANGOLD-X: Where it all started At its core, Penplot started in 2018. I was in highschool back then, and one of the best and most impactful classes I took since… ## [Electric Vehicles are the Least Bad Option](/blog/ev/) _2025-03-24 · kleines Filmröllchen · kleines Filmröllchen’s home page_ … as long as trains are not an option, obviously. Some of my opinions on EVs, cars, and why I think they’re often okay. This post is a bit all over the place, but these thoughts need writing down – please treat each section as its own independent minipost. ## [Switching away from Windows](/blog/windows/) _2025-01-05 · kleines Filmröllchen · kleines Filmröllchen’s home page_ I am writing this blog post on an Arch Linux that’s barely 2 days old. It is the permanent replacement for a Windows 10 install, which I have now been using since 2020. At the start of 2025, my last Microsoft Windows OS install in existence was wiped and retired for good, replaced by another Linux install. Why I did this, and why now, is the topic of this blogpost. ## [CLI-first decentralized GPU compute (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/BEHnYrDFtNgp) _2025-01-04 · **Sponsored**_ Pay workers or run your GPU for FFmpeg transcode and AI inference. ## [Vienna (October 2024)](/projects/photography/2024-10-vienna/) _2024-10-09 · kleines Filmröllchen · kleines Filmröllchen’s home page_ ## [File Organization: My approach](/blog/file-organization/) _2024-09-22 · kleines Filmröllchen · kleines Filmröllchen’s home page_ I think file organization is still one of the big unsolved problems of computing. Everyone has so many goddamn files, and yet, barely anyone has figured out how to organize them properly. For me, it’s an even bigger problem: I’m a data hoarder! I store all the data! I inherited that from my dad, who (different from me) doesn’t even throw out the bad holiday pictures. (We have 1.2 terabytes of… ## [Archiving Blu-Rays: A Good Way](/blog/bluray/) _2024-09-11 · kleines Filmröllchen · kleines Filmröllchen’s home page_ Note: This is not legal advice, but making a backup copy of physical discs that you own is legal in all common jurisdictions. Giving away those backups is illegal piracy, and you can decide for yourself if you care about the illegality or not. I’m neither your lawyer nor your babysitter nor responsible for your crimes. Since streaming is starting to suck again, if you’re not already sailing you… ## [The RIRs Need to Fix Their Statistic Formats (Rant)](/blog/rir-statistics/) _2024-09-06 · kleines Filmröllchen · kleines Filmröllchen’s home page_ TL;DR: If you work for a RIR, and you’re in a position to fix this mess, there’s a list below with every specific issue the currently provided statistics have, and what I think should be done in the cases where the solution is non-obvious. If you are here for the full story, I think it may be interesting to start at the beginning.
