If I did not already know for myself that the game itself is amazing, that guy's public outbursts would steer me right away.

I might have phrased that badly with the 5 years thing. Obviously no one doing open source owes anyone else their time or effort. I do think that projects which stay afloat for a significant amount of time are those where the maintainers keep using the software for their own purpose.

In any case, I wish you good luck with that project, and might become a user if it comes to fruition too.

Most of these "project-but-without-" forks tend to be abandoned rather quickly unfortunately. Maintaining compatibility with a large codebase that is not yours is not the fun part of software development.

I would say clbre and arcalibre are already abandoned, looking at the activity on these repos (none in clbre, and issues/PRs piling up in arcalibre). If you can envision yourself still dedicating your time to this endeavor 5 years from now, you might as well move forward with your own thing.

Whoa this came (back) out of nowhere ! Turns out it's also out on GOG and Steam.

Not mentioned in patch notes, but welcome anyway if true.

It seems they are doing a 1:1 adaptation of the manga chapters. The only major difference in style I noticed is the toned down gore. Like in the first episode when the bodyguards shoot at the police.

Happy PC gaming !

Those Science Saru people are on point with translating the art style and vibe. It does trade from the seriousness of Oshii's movie and SAC for the manga's more easygoing atmosphere.

Honestly though, the previous Netflix adaptation was so bad, I would give a lot this one a lot of leeway. Turns out it started excellent qnd hopefully ramps things up.

GloSC used to be the way to go, in order to use the original Steam Controller with UWP games from Xbox gamepass. It is no longer developed or maintained due to ViGEmBus being EoL'd. Could still work though.

Seems the author of GloSC has moved on to SISR, which you already know about.

Dozens !

On peut dire que le moteur a calé car le capitaine s'est perdu en mer. Mieut vaut couper les vannes rapidement, que laisser un flot d'informations se déverser dans des bassins inconnus.

Yep, that's why I call that a tradeoff. Far from perfect and yet so much better than nothing.

Pros:

• Likely cuts 99.99% of attacks.
• Nothing to do on client's end.

Cons:

• Whitelisting must be updated everytime the client address changes.
• Not 100% bulletproof as operators (notably for mobile networks) can NAT multiple connections behind a single publicly addressable IPv4 address.
• Also IP addresses can be spoofed but I doubt that would be a major concern here.
