My gaming rig is pretty much defunct, I’ve given up hope of pipmping it out this time & have finally made the move to play Elite Dangerous on Playstation :o) Tempted by the PS5 SSD and the launch of Odyssey… plus I really enjoyed having a game that I could play while watching movies. So here I am, fresh in the black, flying around in a Sidewinder! I’ve opted to…

Doom (2016) This month I finally got around to picking up Doom for the PS4 after playing the demo. Hard to believe that I left it for so long; I’ve had heaps of fun, loving the simple run an gun format, and exploring the maps Bethesda have put together so well. As I was late to the party the update was huge, 30 odd gig iirc, but kudos to Bethesda…

After nearly 5 weeks of playing Elite Dangerous, over the course of over 3 years, CMDR BadKitty has finally made it to Elite status 🙂 During this time I had an epiphany that the game was such a time sink that I picked up playing guitar, and we had Player 3 join our family; that has curbed my play time quite a bit, no loss to the joy he brings…

For pretty much the entire month of March Elite Dangerous is the only game I’ve been playing, and I’ve had heaps of fun 🙂 Also picked up a new Logitech G610, my first mechanical keyboard! I’ve always refused to pay out for a decent keyboard in the past; but thought now as I can touch type (ish) & I’ve resisted upgrading my existing box, why not treat myself 🙂 Loving…

I can’t get to Chapter One I started playing the new Elite: Dangerous DLC yesterday Beyond – Chapter One… after I spent a couple of hours setting up my controls. In the end, not for the first time, I plugged in a PlayStation 4 joypad. This time though Windows 10 and Steam identified the pad, rather than having to use a third party piece of software… who iirc I’d contributed…

Yesterday I fucked up… a little I’ve been playing with a Python script to re-arrange the films in my movie directory; it moves everything of a selected file type from directory and sub-directory to a selected directory. Useful eh? Thought I might use it to group all of my photos too. Last night I ran it on a drives root directory for all *.txt files. Let me rephrase that, I…

Elite Dangerous PS4 June 27 Launch Deets curtesy of Destructoid: As you were probably expecting, on PS4, the base game ($30) and the Horizons season pass ($30) will be separate purchases (unless you want to buy them bundled together, which will be an option). On the same day, Frontier is also putting out a physical Elite Dangerous: Legendary Edition for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Considering that package contains the…
Details here from Arstechnica of what went down By the time I’d logged on in my timezone everything had already happened, but this event was a big motivation for me to get my ship up to some sort of standard, or at least begin the journey. By grinding a few lucrative trade loops, a couple of rare circuits, and building up a relationship with the engineer Felicity Farseer, I’ve accumulated…

No posts lately as I heard that the Thargoids have arrived in Elite:Dangerous last Friday 🙂 How has this caused my hiatus? I rushed out and picked up a new graphics card (Radeon RX 480) and a 256 Gig Samsung SSD so I could play the game with ease. That’s when the trouble began! I found I couldn’t migrate Win7 easily off a partition on a 2TB HD to the…

Things I’m playing with over the Xmas NY break 🙂 installed KDE desktop, not sure why I haven’t tried it before, although I did try Mate a few weeks ago that I can’t get to work correctly excited about season 2 of Street Fighter V I’ve reinstalled it on the PS4, and I’m more frustrated and annoyed by Capcom’s servers than ever repetatively the server connection keeps dropping, the only…

I picked up Elite Dangerous pre launch but until now have not seen the trailer. OMG it’s awesome, and depicts the game well, another title I’m looking forward to coming to PS4… or whatever version of the PlayStation I’ll be playing on then 😉

After 6 months or so away from playing, I’m back in the Elite:Dangerous universem I thought I’d go back and visit space, see if much had changed. After spending 3 evening trying to establish and fix when my PC would randomly boot while running Win7. After checking everything from BIOS t, drivers, and the PCU, removing and refitting the memory seemed to fix the issue… for now. I then installed…

DS4Windows I’ve been trying this out in the few hours I’ve had to play Elite:Dangerous 1.3, it’s so much more comfortable than the 360 pad I was using prior, just have to work out how to get the mouse pad working ????

One of the great features of the PS4 is the new Joypad, it’s more ergonomic, and the touch pad is a work of design genius. So I was stoked to find out it could be used on the PC by following this simple guide from Make Use Of – how to use the ps4 controller on your mac or pc Now I can ditch my old Hori xbox pad for…

Finally made it to Pratchett’s disk, not too bad too wise, but trading my Clipper for a Asp I could have done it in half the jumps. On the way to HIP 74290 I was thinking that my next mission might be to Sagittarius A Star, although after arriving here, and reading that the Ankh Guards (primary occupier [Neutral]) are looking for food and non lethal weapons, I’m tempted to…

I’ve been playing about with some python code, having creating a few (useless) Reddit bots, I might look to publish the code as sure others would like to do similar… although all my code is pretty much plagerised from a variety of different sources 🙂 So I’ve been on another break from Elite:Dangerous. Returning to Siddha I didn’t fancy trading, and the conflict zones nearby have dried up, so I’ve…

I haven’t played Elite for a week, after the ‘Ball Dock Clipper Incident’ In exile from elite I’ve been visiting Arkham in Batman: Arkham Origins, and enjoying the change in genre and gamestyle. Finally beating Deadshot last night, I feel I’ve earned the rights to return to space trucking 🙂 My Clipper currently has a hold capacity of 240 tonnes, but due to my reduced funds, and to cover insurance…

I’ve just crashed my Clipper with 240 tonnes of gold into a space station, ~ 4 Million credits with insurance gone in the blink of an eye. I love elite: dangerous, but it makes you pay dearly for your mistakes. I need a break, finishing the COD:AW campaign for a change of scene and genre Update: shit story, too much of a wannabe COD:MW [RATING: 2], not looking forward to…

I’ve spent most of my time in the Elite: Dangerous universe trading, space trucking valuable cargo on short efficient jumps, getting a feel for the engine and saving up enough credits… to buy a bigger ship and have the ability to haul more 😉 After the last 1.2 Wings update, and the last patch that has brought down the cost of battle focussed ships, I’ve decided to try more pew…
