Final Fantasy XVI
After I played and beat the three PS5 Spider-Man games I jumped right into FFXVI. This was actually the game that made me want to get a PS5 in the first place, it looked dark and cool and the mention of action focused combat (FFXV meets Devil May Cry) had me sold. The story focus […]
Linux Natural Scroll
I don’t think I’m going to need this again, but since I’m cleaning up my notes and this has come up time and again when I was setting up Arch Linux on a laptop, my code for natural scrolling on Linux (the probably-not-best-way-to-do-it).
Soothing Tunes
Going through some old notes to clean some items up, and I had at some point gotten a list of “soothing tunes” either from someone else or I made bored one day (99.9% sure it was from someone else). So anyway, to log it here and out of my note list: And since I had […]
Tech Lineup
Related to my last post, which is completely unbiased, I figured I’d put this separate given how one sided it appears. Apple is terrible, yet the alternatives don’t nail feel AND functionality. A lot of people don’t care for feel, and that’s fine. I love open source but paying a little more for good looking […]
Tech Wars
Every other second someone somewhere is out there defending their favourite company. Be that swearing for Windows vs Apple, Intel vs AMD, TikTok vs Shorts, the list is endless and isn’t even just two sided. Being the way that I am leads to no shortage of headaches when someone I’m acquainted with falls into this […]
No Major Glitches
While watching AGDQ this year a discussion came up once again — this category is “No Major Glitches” (NMG), but why are they still using glitch after glitch? Now while naming conventions and decisions in speedrunning communities are often benign, spot on, or even inside jokes I’ve noticed a consistent trend the last few years. […]
2023 Music Rewind
Since I don’t use Spotify or many apps that utilise year in reviews for music, I’ve had to make my own in iTunes (Music.app). Around 2010 I lost a lot of my play counts, and so in 2020 I decided at the turn of every decade I’d “favourite” the top songs of that decade and […]
The Discord Void
A depressing and often annoying situation we find ourselves in is the large swaths of companies and users using Discord as knowledge containers. What used to be knowledge bases, support sites, forums, and other publicly accessible and indexed bits of information are now stored in black box Discord servers. This information is at the whims […]
2024
I’m not looking forward to much in 2024, mostly financial stability for the first time in my life. Though two things stick out: Nyx will get her time later, but in March Apple should be unveiling a whole line of new iPad’s. I’m excited for a few reasons: We’ll see what they announce, hopefully something […]
Iconic Zelda Songs
While I agree with a lot of Zeltik’s choices and comments on “where songs originated”, I had two comments on what I didn’t agree with. First off is a bias with Links Awakening, where I’d say Tal Tal Mountain is a more widespread and iconic song. The bias is due to a remix of that […]
Holiday Music
Every Christmas season over the last few years I’ve always looked forward to one compilation album: An Overclocked Christmas (AOCC). I grew up with my major Christmas music being Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and whatever 98 Rock would play Christmas mornings (some classics, a lot of Christmas-adjacent rock songs, and a number of comedic parody songs). Speaking […]
DualSense
I recently got a PS5 slim, a console I’ve been looking forward to since the original PS5 was announced. It’s as fast, if not faster, than I expected and is a fun experience especially with PS4 games that are optimised for the new hardware. One thing I was really interested in was any load time […]
