Most games do not need remakes

As we all know, remakes have become a very big part of the gaming industry to the point that it feels like we're getting more remakes than actual new games from AAA studios, and who can blame them? It's a risk free way to get sales, but i also think most games do not need it,

The problem is, did these games really age so badly they cannot be played by a modern audience? If you ask me then no,

Like why are we having a remake of god of war 1? That game is still really good and I'd argue better than god of war 4, why remake every resident evil game? The originals are still as scary and tense as ever, why remake the old yakuza games? They still hold up really well...etc

Well, obviously people want remakes to experience these games in a modern look and feel, but that is a trap imo, alot of the times these games tend to lose what makes them special in the remakes, like, resident evil 4 remake as hailed it was by people was still a disappointment to me as a fan of the original, the word "modernize" almost feels synonymous with "make it generic and safe",

Thankfully alot of people are realizing good graphics don't matter much and could even hurt the experience at times, this is shown by the rize of low poly games like signalis, crow country, pseudoregalia...etc and with that are realizing alot of the old games they loved don't need s remake and can just be played as they are.

All of this still doesn't take from the fact that some games so indeed need a remake or atleast the remakes can be argued to be strictly better versions, like crash bandicoot and spyro remakes which aren't much different mechanically but added a massive visual upgrade, Nier replicant remake which overhauled the not so good combat of the original...etc

So what do you guys think of video game remakes? Do you like them? Hate them? Think some games need remakes and others not? Or are you an original experience purist?

Being in a relationship fixed my porn addiction

I was just wondering if anyone else had a similiar experience to this,

So i basically have developed a severe porn addiction during covid, and considering how badly it also effected my social skills i ended up avoiding trying to get into relationships, well not to mention before that i would just talk to girls for a week or two and just dip after remembering i don't have my life together and don't want to drag someone with me when I'm uncertain about too many things,

A couple of years ago i decided to give things a shot and had a relationship that lasted about a year, the interesting thing about that is the moment i expressed to that girl that i liked her and she reciprocated i almost immediately lost any desire to watch porn, it just didn't come up to mind anymore and when it did it wasn't hard to fight off the desire to watch it, and to be clear, during that time we were only talking, we didn't do anything inappropriate,

Tbf it has been harder to resist the temptation a while after that relationship ended but we're still going strong.

This also makes me question why some people still consume porn when they are in relationships, it doesn't really makes sense to me that you like someone or atleast feel a sense of loyalty towards them and not be able to fight off your addiction, or what is their pov surrounding this topic?

Windows 11 ltsc is not a solution

So as I've been seeying people in r/linuxsucks101 say that windows 11 ltsc is what you should use if you have problems with the bloat and telemetry i have decided to give it a shot for a few months and frankly i hate it so much i switched back to normal release.

Some of the issues i had include:

- startup menu bugging out constantly and refusing to show my apps.

- a never ending amount of connexion issues, I can't download anything without having the download fail on me every 2-3 mins.

- screenshot tool doesn't work, i have to manually open up the snipping tool and take them that way.

- can't use notepad dark mode.

And there are other issues i haven't mentioned as I'm not entirely sure they are exclusive to windows 11 ltsc,

I would switch back to linux as I've been using arch on and off for years but i still need software that only works properly on windows.

Note: I wrote the whole guide then asked claude to rewrite it while keeping the same information for clearer wording and better grammar, just saying before i hear complaints about the ai use.

RedotPay is one of the most accessible and convenient virtual credit cards available in Algeria. If you've never used a Mastercard/Visa or dealt with crypto before, the process can feel overwhelming at first — but it's simpler than it looks. This guide walks you through everything step by step.

---

## 1. Getting Your Virtual Card

After installing the RedotPay app and verifying your identity, your first step is to get a virtual card. This requires a one-time deposit of **$10 USD** to activate it. If you complete this within 30 days, **$5 USD is refunded** back to your account.

The question is: how do you deposit funds in the first place? Read on.

---

## 1.1 Getting USDT Through Binance

The currency you'll primarily use with RedotPay is **USDT** (a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar), and Binance is the easiest way to get it.

### 1.1.1 Buying USDT via Binance P2P with BaridiMob

  1. Download Binance, complete sign-up, and verify your identity.

  2. Navigate to the P2P market and search for USDT.

  3. Browse sellers and select one offering the amount you need at a competitive rate, then press **Buy**.

  4. You'll be shown a page with the seller's **BaridiMob RIP** (the account to send money to), a countdown timer for how long you have to complete the transfer, a button to confirm payment, and a chat to communicate with the seller.

  5. Send the payment via BaridiMob, notify the seller using the confirmation button, and share a screenshot of your receipt if requested — many sellers require this.

> **Note:** P2P is only available via the **Binance website** (web browser), not the mobile app.

---

## 1.2 Withdrawing USDT from Binance to RedotPay

**Minimum withdrawal:** 10 USDT

**Recommended amount:** 10.1 USDT (the extra 0.1 covers the network transfer fee, so you arrive at a full $10 in RedotPay)

### Step 1 — Get Your RedotPay Deposit Address

  1. Open the RedotPay app.

  2. Go to **Deposit → USDT → On-Chain → BSC (BEP20)**.

  3. Copy the wallet address shown.

### Step 2 — Withdraw from Binance

  1. Open the Binance app and go to **Portfolio → Withdraw**.

  2. Select **Tether (USDT)** as the currency.

  3. Paste your RedotPay address into the address field.

  4. Under "Choose a Network," select **BSC (BEP20)**.

  5. Enter your amount (e.g., 10.1 USDT) and confirm the withdrawal.

> **Note:** Transfers typically arrive within a minute or two. Don't panic if the funds don't appear instantly.

---

## 1.3 Applying for Your Card

Once funds are in your RedotPay account:

  1. Go to the **Card** tab in the app.

  2. Click **Apply for a Card** and fill in your details.

> **Note:** The form asks for two addresses — it's fine to copy and paste the same address in both fields.

**That's it! You now have a working virtual Visa card with $5 to spend.**

---

## 2. PayPal and Google Pay

While you can use your RedotPay card directly by entering the card number, expiration date, cardholder name, and CVV at checkout, linking it to a payment platform is far more convenient and adds an extra layer of security — your full card details won't be stored across dozens of websites.

> **Note:** Some platforms may not accept your card directly for various reasons (e.g., Steam had issues with RedotPay before it switched to the Visa network). Using PayPal or Google Pay can work around this.

**PayPal** is also useful if you do **remote freelance work** and need to receive payments from international clients.

---

### 2.1 Linking Your Card to PayPal

  1. Download the PayPal app and complete account setup.

  2. Go to your **Wallet** and select **Add a Card**.

  3. Enter your RedotPay card details and save.

You're ready to pay with PayPal anywhere it's accepted.

---

### 2.2 Linking Your Card to Google Pay

  1. Open the **Google Play Store**.

  2. Tap your **profile picture** in the top right.

  3. Go to **Payments & Subscriptions → Payment Methods**.

  4. Add your RedotPay card details.

For **Apple users**, you can do the same through **Apple Pay** via the Wallet app.

---

With all of this set up, you're fully equipped to shop online, subscribe to services, and receive payments internationally. Hopefully this clears up any confusion you had getting started.
