Heat recovery ventilators are one possible solution. You can hook them up to home assistant humidity sensors and open a vent for example.

Not only is Valheim remarkable for the fact that’s it’s largely a one man show, it’s also a labour of love that couldn’t come out of the AAA gaming world, which is creatively bankrupt. They’re busy trashing beloved gaming series left and right and shuttering once beloved studios.
We’re now entering a new era where projects like Halo Reclaimer[1] are more creative and more popular than some of the slop put out by the AAA world with massive marketing budgets. There’s no slop, no micro transactions, just Halo Forge turbocharged by virtually anyone who loves Halo and has a Claude subscription.

You can make your own to save money, I made this project for example. I paired it with an Air-1 sensor and home assistant to ramp up and down the downs in real time according to the live air quality readings.

AAA game studios seem largely creatively bankrupt for some time now, it’s a glorious era for AA and indie. Long may that continue

Abliteration is a thing. Highly capable Chinese models only months behind their American counterparts, trained on their outputs, is a thing, hosted on Openrouter and co. There’s no effective barrier anymore.

There’s an absolutely massive amount of fan made Pokémon games out there. Some are years old at this point.
Some fans are tired at the lack of innovation from the IP holders and are taking fan games in interesting directions. Look at this for example:

Here's a guy who put together this recomp of NFS the Xbox 360 version, running on the Steam Deck:

Great ideas here thanks! I’m going to see if I can whip up a Windows equivalent, using Autohokey instead of Karabiner.

Can you link to the exact website? Multiple similarly named projects show up.

Eventually Fable-level models will be abliterated and hosted on Openrouter too, like so many others have been. Remember Chinese models are only a few months behind American ones at this point and are trained on their outputs, and can be abliterated after release.
Someone has vibe coded the entire Adobe suite btw: https://getartcraft.com/apps

The sheer irony of this would be a thing to behold

It’s more likely that the higher quality version will rise to the top, and the slop versions will be buried in obscurity.

Yep, totally agree with this sentiment.
Fan efforts are breathing new life into older games, some of them locked away on older consoles or due to cloud tied services that the game developer has no interest in supporting any more.
Efforts like OldUnreal and the Peacock Project are just amazing. Recently, Halo fans have unlocked 128 player multiplayer modes using assets from Halo MCC and unlocked 16 player coop campaign mode. Microsoft has no interest in this cutting into their microtracsaction-strewn free to play game which isn’t as fun as older Halo.
Incidentally Ive started tracking really cool fan game projects here, including a disclaimer where possible if the project is AI assisted or not:

One can only imagine how much of the news is just dictated by US intelligence. Social media too- remember the Elgin AirForce base being revealed as the top most Reddit addicted city?
