One of the GUI features available on macOS side is its automation. I often contribute Mac’s near-obsessive focus on user automation has to do with the early days of PC experience, experimenting with BASIC for the first time on a computer. That being said, on Mac, if you select multiple items to “rename”, Finder gives…

How to Fix New AirPods (Buttonless) Playing One Channel Only on Windows
The new AirPods, AirPods 4 and AirPods Pro 3, do not have a physical button on the case — both AirPods now have capacitive touch sensor on the front of the case instead. Personally, I prefer where the sensor has been moved; simple tapping motion on the front of the case puts the device in…
Parasocial Spiel
I was waiting for Chilla’s Art to make landing on non-PC platforms for a while; any other successful horror indies have ported their games over with or without the help of porting studios. That hasn’t happened as of yet. Regardless, Chilla’s Art titles have special place in the indie horror scenes of serving realistic modern…
App to Convert PC Xbox App Saves for Different Platforms
I’m on the process of writing a similar themed op-ed that highlights the exact issue I am having with the Xbox App. One would imagine save files on all PC games would be platform-agnostic, so long as the platform in question has a Windows presence. That is simply not the case with the Xbox app…
Fears to Fathom – Home Alone Spiel
The second season of Fears to Fathom series is already underway, and I thought to come back to the series as it is slowly being released on other platforms. Currently, only the fourth episode is available on the PlayStation with DualSense support. Fears to Fathom is an anthology; the episodes are not connected from one…
Order 13 Spiel
I suppose calling Order 13 a job simulator would be a euphemism. Order 13 is a horror game with big enough emphasis on the job of warehouse workers. Though I have never worked in Amazon warehouse before, I can safely assume jobs in the warehouse is more separated and specialized, instead of having one employee…
Dyson Sphere Program Spiel
As Dyson Sphere Program is a simulation game still in Early Access without a story mode, I wasn’t sure when I could safely say I finished it. I prefer not to talk about sims that go on forever, as they tend to be more “simulation” than a “simulation game”. Fortunately, the game does have an…
How to Use Alphanumeric Passwords with Windows Hello
This is yet another documentation-related post. The information surrounding Windows Hello, especially why the use of PIN is recommended, is simply out of context for users who would be actively looking up the answers. On Windows, traditionally speaking, a user would create an account for a Windows machine, then the login details would stay on…
Dollmare Spiel
It’s yet another horror game from yesteryear with a ‘find an anomaly’ mechanic. However, Dollmare is less an anomaly game than more a job simulator game. Job simulator is a subgenre which focuses on “simulating” real life job — in this game, a doll inspector. The premise of the game is rather straightforward. The protagonist…
How to Workaround Windows Hello Webcam Error during Sleep-Wake
This post is for documentation purposes. I suspect there are completely different cases out there other than mine that simply print the same error message; message is vague at best. Unless the error log is detailed enough to pinpoint the issue, it would be nearly impossible to troubleshoot because of the number of configurations possible.…
Indigo Park: Chapter 1 Spiel
With the release for Chapter 2 finally set for coming December, I believe it’s a great time to revisit the mascot horror that went viral last year. Indigo Park: Chapter 1 is technically in playable teaser state, where the first chapter only debriefs the premises of the game. It is relatively short and free to…
Who’s at the door? Spiel Pt. 2
Who’s at the door? shows what is possible with AI generated contents in Exit 8-likes, and to discuss how the game used the AI contents, it’s bound to touch on some of the spoiler territories. If you want a spoiler-free review, there is a separate piece for it. This one, on the other hand, I…
Who’s at the door? Spiel
After I had played the demo version of Who’s at the door?, I wanted to see for myself how much more could the game offer for an indie horror game. The demo, the decision which I personally appreciate not to abuse Early Access on Steam, had shown different take on Exit 8-likes as a horror-centric…
How to Encrypt Disks on Windows
One of the trigger points behind my decision to build a dedicated PC has to do with general cybersecurity. To clarify, Boot Camp Windows running on Intel Mac is not particularly more vulnerable than the other Windows machine; it is simply more dated. And being dated, for the sake of security, means not gaining the…
App to Test Drive Capacity Legitimacy on Windows
Though I tried to find a similar app for macOS and Linux, it wasn’t such a big surprise apps to test legitimacy of drive capacity is mostly reserved for Windows. For context, the idea behind the test is that there are customized illegitimate firmwares installed on drives to trick OS, thereby users, into thinking the…
