Good news! A non-VR demo of Half-Life: Alyx is coming soon. I understand that the game was designed to be played in VR, but not everyone has the opportunity to buy a VR headset. By the way, VR headsets are much more affordable now than they were when the game first launched.
Guys, I’ve been reading your comments asking, “When are the new videos coming?” or saying, “The views have dropped,” and so on.
The views really have dropped because I haven’t uploaded any new videos in a long time. The main reason is that, in order to produce videos faster and upload them more consistently, I needed to set up a proper workspace. And to do that, I had to start renovating my apartment.
The workspace is almost finished—I just need to order the desktop for my desk. Once that’s done, I’ll be able to upload videos more often and stick to a regular schedule.
So I decided to play some Fortnite just now and record a video of my gameplay for fun, and guess what — my new NVIDIA overlay isn't working. And I've already reinstalled both the drivers and the NVIDIA app! Not only did they change the interface to that Windows 11 style, you know, where there's no design at all, just black-and-white icons and text, but on top of that it doesn't even work properly! On my GTX 1080, with the old overlay, I never had issues like this, even when recording 4K gameplay. It honestly feels like everything is degrading — first Windows 11, and now the NVIDIA overlay. Someone let me know when we're back to an era where things actually improve instead of getting worse!
Doom 3 is one of the greatest horror games ever made, with an incredible atmosphere. Its ambient soundtracks often last anywhere from 10 to 35 minutes. Here’s one of them from the very first level of the game:
As you explore the level while listening to this ambient track, it creates the feeling that you’re incredibly far away from Earth, standing on the edge of something completely unknown and beyond human reach. And that unknown eventually reveals itself as the invasion of demons—pure evil.
I’ll make a dedicated video review of the game, but first I’m going to record a full playthrough.
Next week, I’ll finally be setting up a proper workspace.
Why does this matter? As you may have noticed from my older videos, I’ve been filming in my apartment under very rough conditions, without any renovation. Despite that, I’ve managed to create more than 300 videos for the channel.
During the summer, it was so hot that I sometimes had to take up to 11 showers a day because I didn’t have proper windows or air conditioning. It was nothing short of a nightmare.
Eventually, I decided I’d had enough and started renovating the apartment. I first designed everything in Homestyler and then began bringing the project to life.
Now, about half of the renovation is complete. I finally have air conditioning and proper windows, and most importantly, it’s time to optimize my workspace.
To produce high-quality content efficiently, I need good lighting and a large desk. Tomorrow I’ll be ordering custom countertops and arranging them as shown in the photo. This setup will allow me to produce videos much faster.
The lack of a proper workspace has been the main reason why there hasn’t been much new content on the channel lately.
The content is coming back. There will be a lot more videos very soon.
A line appeared on my second monitor, but only for a short time—about five minutes. I took a screenshot and opened it to make sure it wasn’t caused by the graphics card. It’s probably either the HDMI cable or, more likely, the monitor itself starting to fail.
Today I finished Dark Messiah Might and Magic from 2006. And here’s how it happened: back then, my PC couldn’t run it, so I never got the chance to play it. Recently, I decided to try it on a modern PC, and I got so hooked that I ended up completing the entire game.
My point is that the game is so good (it’s built on the Source engine) that it’s still incredibly engaging even today in 2026, after all these years. If you haven’t played it yet, I highly recommend giving it a try. The Source engine in a fantasy game creates an amazing and unique experience.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khnKT... China has launched its first fully self-developed gaming GPU, the LX 7G100, which goes on sale at 8:00 p.m. Wednesday. Created by Shanghai-based Lisuan Tech, this product is five years in the making and marks the first time a Chinese company is competing directly with global giants like NVIDIA and AMD. Lisuan is also the first Chinese GPU maker and the fourth in the world to receive official Microsoft WHQL certification, proving its tech can run smoothly on computers globally.
Engineers are now manually optimizing popular video games to improve software performance for this brand-new chip.
The company was co-founded by 68-year-old Xuan Yifang, a legendary figure who led the mass production of 15 GPU generations in the US before returning to Shanghai to build a pure Chinese chip. Yet the development journey faced severe financial shortages and immense pressure as chip manufacturing is a one-shot deal where a single error can ruin an entire project.
While only 1,000 units are available for this initial release, more than 22,000 people signed up to buy one within the first 24 hours of reservations opening. Equipped with 12GB of large video memory, the GPU is priced at 2,969 yuan (436 US dollars) after applying national subsidies.
Suddenly, on my ASUS Z790-H motherboard, 4 USB 3.0 ports on the rear panel died (you can see it in the photo). And it was only those 4 USB 3.0 ports. I reinstalled the drivers, updated the BIOS — nothing helped. Then I reconnected the USB 3.0 header for the front panel on the motherboard and completely powered off the PC. And… everything started working again! What that was, only God knows… So keep this in mind: if something suddenly stops working, the first thing you should do is completely cut power to the PC (shut it down, unplug the cable, and hold the power button for 10–15 seconds). That way, all residual electricity will drain from the board.
Friends, I’m not sure if you’re still watching me today. At first, I wanted to record a video, but then I decided it would be faster to write a text.
I want to explain why videos are released so rarely on the channel. The thing is, I have a main channel in Russian: youtube.com/channel/UCLf3xbgb...
I’ve been running the main channel for a very long time, and I created the English channel much later. The issue is that managing two channels in two languages is quite difficult and takes a lot of time. On top of that, the algorithms have changed, and videos no longer get as many views as they used to.
Because of this, I sometimes have to choose between one channel or the other. Since the Russian channel had better view dynamics, I tried to upload new videos there first, and only later to the English channel.
I’m currently in Russia, and today the internet here is being heavily restricted. Even most VPNs are not working. This has negatively affected the views on my main channel, since most of the audience is from Russia. In a way, you could say the Russian channel is “dead.”
I’m not planning to leave YouTube, so the only way for me to continue making videos is to learn English and upload them here—which is exactly what I’ll be focusing on in the near future.
Because the internet in Russia is being severely limited, I’ll have to move to another country. Without proper internet access, I won’t be able to live or create videos.
I have more than 200 videos on my Russian channel that haven’t been uploaded to the English channel. The problem is that translating them would take at least a full day per video, so it would take over half a year to go through all of them.
I still want to show you what was in those older videos, so there’s a faster way—using AI translation. Here’s an example of such a translation https://youtu.be/OLh-9qmVJ9A. Let me know in the comments if you’d be able to watch videos like this.
As for recent uploads, I recently released a video about the early-2000s gaming vibe, where I built almost a top-tier 2004 PC. The video is nearly 2 hours long, and I hope I’ll be able to translate it as well.
