Of all the problems it might bring, it might fuck with your audio, leading to audio crackles/pops/hiccups not associated with your settings (including power), drivers, sound cards, speakers or electrical outlets.

Yet another MMO, but Japanese and built on a huge franchise and the smouldering remains of an abysmal failure.
I don’t understand how this is popular. It has boring repetitive abilities, a confusing layout and a terrible map system.

Aliens drop by Earth and evil Humans shoot them down and mug them.
Nothing about the interface makes enough sense, and there are no hints as to how things work. It could have been made much better, even back in the day. I’m not going to forgive how bad it is, especially since there was zero effort by Steam to actually fix basic things like aspect ratio.

Brave is a web browser that uses components from Chrome to build a more security-conscious browser which also has an alternate advertising mechanism with revenue sharing.
Like Chrome, it’s missing fundamental things.

A capable and fast programmer’s editor.
It’s capable and fast, but not being able to disable the recent files list is a killer for me.

Portable only, but it has an installer so you can easily
right-clickand open files in it.

A straightforward and capable Windows text editor which also has a portable version.
This seems like a nice daily driver for little things. I shouldn’t replace Geany with it though since I want something cross-platform.
It’s really stupid that it doesn’t have configurable shortcuts unless I want to compile it from source.
