Woof! Let's go!
Tips, announcements, and deep dives from the BruceNode team.
The CS2 server commands admins actually use: warmup, restarts, maps and game modes, bots, practice settings, and how to make your settings stick.
Crossplay servers never show in the Steam list, so start with the join code. Then check startup, password rules, game version, ports and mods, in that order.
One Valheim server can host PC, Xbox, PS5 and Switch 2 players together. Turn crossplay on, share the join code after each restart and keep mixed groups vanilla.
Valheim 1.0 adds the Deep North, PS5, Switch 2 and a new save format. Here is what it means for your server: old worlds, mods and crossplay join codes.
Where PalWorldSettings.ini lives, how to edit it without breaking the one-line format, and the settings worth changing first: capture, XP, day length, eggs and death penalty.
SourceMod does not run on CS2. Install Metamod:Source and CounterStrikeSharp in the right order, verify both from the console, and keep them working after updates.
A Palworld server runs about $8 to $50 a month, and RAM is what moves the number. Real 2026 prices by player count, and where the value sits.
Installing that never ends is almost always disk space. CS2 server files run about 70 GB. Here is how to confirm it and fix it in two minutes.
Set up a Valheim dedicated server in 2026: the ports and 5-character password rule that block first boots, installing BepInEx mods, where saves live, and how much RAM you need.
Honest 2026 ranking of Palworld hosts: Hostinger, Shockbyte, GPORTAL, Nitrado, and DatHost, plus why BruceNode wins on right-sized 16 GB plans and hourly billing.
Palworld 1.0 lands July 10, 2026 and Pocketpair recommends fresh starts. Server requirements, SteamCMD setup, the settings that matter, and whether to self-host or rent.
Between early access and public launch we shipped 88 commits, ran three audit sweeps, and caught a dozen bugs the first wave never hit. Here's what we actually fixed, and what we'd do differently.
