Jabs, jolts, and a grumpy immune system…think of it as a dress rehearsal for the big virus showdown.
Okay folks, Debian ain’t all sunshine and roses when Nvidia’s involved. Mint, shockingly, might be the answer to my graphics card woes. Let’s dive into this…
My ‘aha!’ moment came after waking up from another night of my typical sightless dreams. I started wondering – do other people actually see memories like snapshots? … Aphantasia is the inability to voluntarily create images in your head – the famed ‘mind’s eye.’
Alright folks, get ready for a bird’s-eye view unlike anything you’ve seen before. We’re not talking drones, planes, or even satellites. We’re talking World View – a company that’s taking us to the stratosphere with some seriously cool balloon technology. These Ain’t Your Average Party Balloons First off, these balloons are massive. We’re talking the length of a football field! The material? Not latex, that’s for sure. It’s a super…

Tried and True Titans Ah yes, video games! Now there’s a curious phenomenon for you. These contraptions hold millions of people utterly engrossed, wouldn’t you say? Let’s have a gander at what seems to be captivating the younger generations these days… well, and some of the older ones too, I suppose. Fortnite: Remarkable staying power, this one. Like a vibrant tapestry that constantly shifts and changes, with peculiar dances and…
Gather ’round, fellow champions of the Lands Between! A wisp of news curls and swirls from the enigmatic depths of FromSoftware. Yes, it concerns that tantalizing DLC, the enigmatically named “Shadow of the Erdtree”. Scant details may we have, but a sliver is more fodder for theorizing than a gaping abyss, wouldn’t you agree? So, let us dissect this morsel like a particularly cryptic map fragment.
Aha! Computer games in 2024? They just get flashier, louder.. the youngsters with their “Metroidvanias”… bit foreign and frantic for my liking. Give me Pong any day! Still, let’s crack on so I don’t look out of touch. So today, a mix of new releases and remakes, here’s what I make of it all:
The images that grace our screens and ignite our imaginations – nebulae sculpted by unseen forces, distant galaxies shimmering like cosmic jewels – often find their origin far beyond Earth. Telescopes like Hubble and JWST, sentinels in the silent vastness, have journeyed away from our home planet not merely to draw nearer to their targets, but to free themselves from the subtle distortions of our world. Consider the atmosphere that…
Bloody hell, here we go… the Great Reset and the Great Replacement. It’s like watching a pair of toddlers bicker over a broken toy, except the toy is our entire freaking world and these prats might actually smash it beyond repair. So, first up – the Great Reset. Brought to you by those wankers at the World Economic Forum – annual billionaire sleepover in Davos, don’tcha know. Suddenly, they’ve seen…
Bitcoin: Not an Investment
10/02/2024
Oh, look! Bitcoin’s doing a thing again! Suddenly it’s worth some imaginary made-up number, and those crypto-bros in their dad’s basements are acting like they’ve cracked the secret to eternal wealth. What happened? Did Elon Musk tweet an emoji again?
the thrilling promise of possibilities mixed with the stomach-churning fear of the unknown.
Starfield: Why It Fell Short of the Hype
10/02/2024
Maybe Starfield’s core lack of personality marks a deeper malaise, a sign that all the polish and promise in the world can’t save a game with a busted soul.
Britain’s Rwandan Refugee Plan
10/02/2024
Site of a horrific genocide not that long ago? Well, now it’s set to be Britain’s official dumping ground for desperate folks seeking safety. How bloody noble of us. This isn’t a policy, it’s a moral bankruptcy sale. ‘Buy one act of desperation, get a lifetime of trauma free!’
Gaza? It’s not just a mess
10/02/2024
Look, I’m going to say it flat out. Gaza? It’s not just a mess, it’s a bloody disgrace. It’s a humanitarian catastrophe that we’ve all just let fester for far too long. It’s this open wound, seeping into the collective conscience of the world, and what are we doing? We’re squabbling, finger-pointing, and mumbling diplomatic jargon that means nothing to a child trapped under rubble.

New Digital Home
01/07/2023
After quitting Twitter in December, yesterday I closed my Reddit account, for a new digital home in the Fediverse: Mastodon It’s going to be intersting to see how the communities evolve, I’m already seeing some of the more devisive themes being represented. Meanwhile I’ve been playing more with Google Bard, OpenAI Chat-GPT, and Bard; their functionality impresses me on a daily basis. From having discussions with the bots, having them…
Loving Street Fighter 6
01/07/2023
& stoked Blanka is available from launch, and managed to get to Silver rank yesterday! I chose the PC version over PS5, as my FightStick-Pro connects without a delay inducing dongle. Accumulated ~90 hours of gameplay, and I understand about as much as when I was about 90 hours into Elden Ring 🤣 The new mechanics flow beautifully, more reminicent of Street Fighter 4’s counter system, but I’ll write more…
Hey tarnished! Now, we all know how important shields are, right? They’re not just for looking cool, but they’ve got a whole array of uses, from blocking and parrying to bashing and performing unique Ashes of War abilities.
