My Review of PotPlayer

Freeware
Review
Windows
When I read people saying PotPlayer was the best video player for Windows I didn't expect it to actually be true, but it is. Without doubt it's the video player with the most features, and you can tell that just from looking at the size of its main menu.

My Review of MPC-BE

Review
Windows
MPC-BE is the best video player for playing local video files on Windows on your PC. It doesn't have the ability to cast to smart TV's that other players have, but it has great support for all common audio and video formats, a very usable user interface, and plenty of customizability.
My Review of Windows Media Player (for Windows 11)

Review
Windows
Windows Media Player is a basic video and music player with support for playing all common audio and video formats, and is preconfigured to integrate well with the default music and video folders of Windows. However, it lacks many kinds of advanced functionality and provides practically no customization whatsoever.

My Review of NewsFlash

NewsFlash has a minimalist design, good support for basic functionality, but doesn't support many advanced features you would want in an RSS client.
My Review of Vivaldi as an RSS Client

Vivaldi makes it very easy to subscribe to new RSS feeds, but it doesn't provide much of the functionality you would want to manage a large amount of feeds.
My Review of Thunderbird as an RSS Client

Thunderbird is clunky for basic tasks but provides many great advanced features that other RSS clients may not provide.
My Review of Akregator

Akregator is a very good RSS client with many features, decent polish and customizability, and good support for most use cases, but lacks more advanced functionalities features. Personally, I wouldn't mind using it if I couldn't find something better.
My Review of mtPaint

Review
Although mtPaint has some interesting features, it's very clunky and frustrating to use. It may be useful in some use cases, but generally there are better free pixel art editors you can use, such as LibreSprite.
