This was a pretty impressive press conference with a lot of new gameplay from games I can't wait to get my hands on.

The show started really strong with The Last of Us Part II including a gameplay demo. Looks fantastic! And I have yet to play the first game...

Destiny 2: Forsaken got a little trailer, but for more information about this expansion you should check out Bungie's YouTube page, there's a lot more!

Control was a complete surprise, a brand new IP from Remedy (Alan Wake, Max Payne, Quantum Break) and it looks like some kind of shooter where the character has supernatural abilities. Definitely interested! The trailer actually reminded me a little of a level from Beyond: Two Souls where you have to shut down the reactor.

Of course I have to mention Resident Evil 2 - one of my favorite franchises. The remake looks absolutely gorgeous and secretly I'm still hoping for a VR version or at least a first person mode.

And last, but definitely not least in my picks from this show: Death Stranding. OH. MY. GOD. We've got to see so much, yet still know so little about the game. I literally got goosebumps multiple times during the presentation. I think that some of it was actual gameplay (the over-the-shoulder camera), but honestly I couldn't tell where the gameplay changes to cinematics. It was just that good. Kojima, you mad genius!

Only one more left: Nintendo Direct is coming tomorrow!

Making a game for the PlayStation 2

Actually, not really for the PS2 - not natively at least. Rather making a game for YaBasic which can be played on the PS2. I started my geek life when I was 11 years old and got my first computer (486). A few years later I found some games written in QBasic on a gaming magazine's CD. That was the first time I came in contact with programming. I didn't understand much back then, because I wasn't taught before and I didn't speak any English (it's my 3rd language...) so I was just trying to figure out how the games worked by modifying stuff. These games were simple text adventures, where you had to make choices and the game would progress that way. There were no commands like "go left" or "pick up". The game presented you all the options and you had to input the number of the option you chose. And instead of "if-else" there were GOTOs everywhere. This was how I made my first game, a multiple-choice quiz with 10 questions. Since I didn...

Open Source doesn't work

Before you misunderstand me: I'm a Linux user and love open source software (OSS)! I always try to use OSS if there is one available. But speaking from personal experience the idea behind open source doesn't really work. Hear me out. Open source is based on the premise that everybody can contribute and this way the software gets better. The more people do it the better it gets. Well, I have 2 cases for you. The first one is Ansible . I've made a small patch in one of the plugins (hashi_vault) to make the plugin more flexible. I've created a pull request (PR) back in August 2019. At that time the patch had no conflicts with the master branch. But it was never merged. Now, over 8 months later the patch still isn't merged and has conflicts, because the code changed so much since then. So instead of quickly accepting a good patch - which would help not only me, but probably quite a few others - it was left and forgotten. I find this rather sad. It shows the go...

UPDATE - Problem liegt vermutlich bei eBay

(English summary below.) Hab noch etwas mehr rumprobiert und dank https://twitter.com/AskPayPal bin ich auf etwas aufmerksam geworden: Wenn ich mich bei PayPal (über die ganz normale Seite https://www.paypal.de/ ) einlogge und dann in einem anderen Tab eBay aufmache, einen Artikel in den Warenkorb lege und dann PayPal als Zahlungsmethode werde ich bei PayPal ausgeloggt! eBay macht mir die Session (bzw. den Cookie) kaputt sobald dieser vermurkste Pop-up aufgeht! (Statt die Session die bereits da ist zu nutzen...) Kann auch super jederzeit reproduziert werden: Tab Nr. 1: PayPal öffnen und einloggen (man ist hier auf der Übersichtsseite). Tab Nr. 2: eBay öffnen, einen Artikel in den Warenkorb legen. Im Warenkorb auf "Weiter zur Kaufabwicklung" klicken PayPal als Zahlungsmethode auswählen. (Zu diesem Zeitpunkt ist man in Tab Nr. 1 bei PayPal noch eingeloggt!) Auf "Weiter" klicken - hierbei öffnet sich das Pop-up und gleichzeitig geht die Session in...
