I have been on Linux for a while and haven't used Windows for almost a year. Just a couple of days ago I installed Windows 11 on my Laptop. So I faced the issue that I almost forgotten about, Minecraft Java was running on iGPU(RX Vega 6 in my case) instead of GTX 1650 Max Q. While my iGPU is more than enough to play Minecraft with smooth FPS, running shaders will require the dedicated GPU.  Now that issue is also present on Linux as well, because graphical requirements of Minecraft is so low that it will run just fine on any recent processor with iGPU. But the solution to this issue in Linux was very simple, all I had to do was right click and select "Launch using Dedicated Graphics Card".  Unfortunately windows doesn't work that way. It has been so long that I forgotten the path to Minecraft Java executable in Windows system, so like any other user I turned to Google. Then I realized that top results on Google are outdated.  Example Article 1 Example Article 2 Update...

 Just a couple of days ago, MaskGun crossed 60 million downloads. Although I started testing it last month, my review got delayed due to some personal reasons. But, I'm glad it delayed, because I got to test my theory using anniversary sale. MaskGun : About the game MaskGun is a Multiplayer FPS game published by SuperGaming and is available for free on Android & iOS. It has mostly positive reviews on both platforms.  Game Modes : It currently has very few game modes and no Battle Royale mode. On public servers, you can earn Rewards like Gold, Exp and Loot Boxes. At the time of writing the review, only Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch are playable but there are clear indications of an upcoming Rumble(1v1) mode. I've also seen seen some other modes mentioned here and there like Control Point and Bomb Defusal, but I guess they keep cycling those "extra" modes as they're nowhere to be found in the game. I don't blame them as they claim "small game size...

 A trading hall in Minecraft usually consists of 10 or more villagers. Although some people just use a naturally spawned village for their needs, many(myself included) will promote a proper trading hall with most(if not all) villager profession types.  So here are the benefits of having all villager types in your trading hall. List of villager professions There are a total of 13 villager professions. Each of them have some unique trades that come handy to all sorts of player. Normally most people use Librarian, Farmer, Armorer, Toolsmith and Weaponsmith only, as they are the ones with best trades, but don't underestimate other professions. So first, list of all villager professions(in alphabetic order).  Best Trades of all the villagers professions Now that you know how to get all the villager professions, here are the key trades that I find most useful for each professions. Armorer : A master level Armorer trades you full diamond armor, with some nice enchantments if yo...

 Villager Trading halls pretty popular among youtubers, specially the ones playing on servers. But why do they go through the trouble of building one? Should you invest your time setting up one in your world too? Here are my top 3 reasons why you should build a villager trading hall 1. Easy XP source early game: If you haven't built an efficient XP farm like Zombified Piglin farm or Endermen Farm, trading with villagers can yield high amounts of XP quickly. All you need is some cheap farms and relevant villager to trade with. For example, a tree farm and fletcher villager, Melon/Pumpkin farm and farmer villager, Sweet Berry farm and Butcher villager, etc. 2. Renewable source of rare and hard to obtain items: If you set up a mega trading hall with 5-10 villagers of each profession, then you may never have to go mining/hunting for some of the stuffs again. Like Redstone, Glowstone, Ender pearls from cleric, Golden carrots and Glistering Melon from farmers, Various tipped arrows fro...

  Amazon's Great Republic Day Sale is live now(only for prime members if you are reading this on the day of publishing). And once again, I'm back with my pick for gamers, techies and students. To keep the list short, I'll include only PC(laptop and desktop) and accessories, but if you'd like to see top picks from other categories, do let me know in the comments.  [Note: As usual, not all the deals are revealed on the day 1, so do check again if new products are included] Laptops There aren't many deals on high end laptops by the time of writing, so I'll mention the ones that are noteworthy. HP Victus(Ryzen 5 5600H, RX 5500M) - RX 5500M definitely the best GPU you can find on budget laptops under INR 60,000. It lies between 1650 Ti and 1660 Ti in overall gaming performance. The only con with this laptop is that the screen is only 60Hz, there are other options available with 144Hz if you are into competitive gaming. ...

  Today's post is going to be different. Today I will be reviewing a game that convinced me into installing it via its unique advertising tactics. If you are a regular reader of my blog then you may have noticed that the only game review that I did was of FAU-G , the most hyped game of India after PUBG Mobile ban. Before we continue, I'd like to make it clear that it is not a sponsored post(looking at you PIXIO 😜). This is 100% honest review from my side.                        Contents of this post Summoner's Greed: Introduction Advertisement tactics that got my attention Game Review Tips for new players Summoner's Greed Summoner's Greed is an Idle Tower Defense game by PIXIO that came out in 2017. It is available for free under the name Summoner's Greed: Idle TD Hero on Google Play Store and as Summoner's Greed: Empire TD on Apple App Store. ...

 I just saw the latest video by JayzTwoCents , and it got me thinking "We(techies) do end up with some generic gifts that we don't need and throw them away in our storage". So I thought let's make an Indian version(with products readily available in India) of that list.  Stream Deck Whenever someone mentions Stream Deck, majority of people assume that it is used for streaming. But in fact it can do much more than that. Productive people(editors, designers, digital artists, devs) often end up repeating certain action over and over again, while it is possible to bind macros, we often end up creating 3 key combinations that are not conflicting with other existing key bindings of the OS/Software. And the experience of activating those macros is not so smooth, Stream deck can overcome that.  Not only that, stream deck can also be used to operate smart home appliances from your desk. If the person doesn't already own a Stream Deck, they'll definitely appreciate rece...
