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 finished in the top 70% percent in the Federations Battle of Lugh; I didn’t show the greatest commitment to the cause, so quite stoked with the 7 million payout + bonds. Off back to Ross 780 to swap my Vulture for my Asp, and continue ranking up in the Empire, and space trucking 🙂 Change of plan; I’ve put on my explorer space suit, and I’m off to see…

Finally made time to complete this choice title, Brothers: A Tale of two Sons A great story, an emotional roller-coaster, paced to perfection, but as all good games, just long enough. Very nice scaled environments, great character movement, and novel puzzles. Money well spent, will play again… there are achievements outstanding, nice work starbreeze Ah He? [rating: 4]
Here’s a script that has been in my library for a while, don’t know why I haven’t shared it before now, all credit to nearengine 🙂 This does a simple delete on all of our Reddit post history, no double delete like other options redditPurge is a simple script I wrote while learning Python. It destroys your entire Reddit history, letting you start with a clean slate or delete your…

I thought this a worthy gesture: GNU Terry Pratchett header set X-Clacks-Overhead “GNU Terry Pratchett”

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…

This week a great man shuffled off his mortal coil, Terry Pratchett, Discworld series author, dies aged 66 I’m very sad to hear he’s passed away, but also know he campaigned for everyones right-to-die, so I hope he had the opportunity to act on his wishes. I’ve loved his books from childhood, will certainly read them to my child, Terry left an amazing legacy, and I thank him for all the…

I was given a Void Cube for xmas, all good fun solving it, just like a normal cube. Differences are: Yellow of a normal Rubik’s cube is Red on a Void White on regular is Yellow on Void Red on regular is Purple/Pink on Void Easy enough to follow the 5 layer solution: You can do the cube The issue is sometimes you get Parity, where the invisible center pieces colours…
2 modern day legends talk about the potential disasters that the Sol system could succumb to. I found this really interesting, certainly the info on the temperatures of Brown Dwarfs

I’ve been playing far too much Elite:Dangerous! So much that I missed this patch to SSFiv back in December! Here are the changes, thanks to Eventhubs, now off to see how the changes work for my mains, and if they’re any new moves 🙂 Update: Detailed guide of moves here: capcom-unity.com Ryu gains new Target Combos, more offensive and defensive options, and a move known as the Hanagashi, which simulates…

No posts for over a month! All due to one launch title prior to the New Year break, Elite Dangerous The original was the driving reason for me to have a computer, and now we have this latest version available on today’s kit. I’ve seriously been hooked, like a kid in a toy shop 🙂 Sure I’ll be posting more on the game over time, and my first impressions of…
This for me is the Next Gen war over, how can the XBONE triumph over this? Given the track record to date with SFIV on the PC, and poor connection issues, it looks like I will be picking up a PS4… pity my fightstick is for the XBOX 🙁 This truly looks like a work of art, and moves so fast, I’m eager to play!

Another game I can tick off my I need closure list, spent an hour today finishing the story of Valiant Hearts: The Great War. An emotional end to a sombre tale, never forget 🙁 [Rating: 4] Nice to play a slower paced game Interesting insights into the history of the Great War Characters and story pulled the heart strings

I don’t really play games on my phone, guess not having Google Play limits those titles that are available. However earlier in the week I came across Shattered Pixel Dungeon on F-Droid It’s described as: Traditional rogue like game with pixel-art graphics and simple interface. Hard to believe that in all my years of gaming I’ve never played a ‘rogue like game’… but I’m very impressed with this perma-death Android…
When Amnesty International are warning against government spyware, I think it’s a good time to listen. Detekt is a free tool that scans your Windows computer for traces of FinFisher and Hacking Team RCS, commercial surveillance spyware that has been identified to be also used to target and monitor human rights defenders and journalists around the world. https://resistsurveillance.org/ or to check for root kits for Linux: sudo rkhunter –check

Couple of hours into Dragon Age Inquisition, first thoughts: easy on the eyes, except some pop up of details more like Diablo than Skyrim upset that my created character looks more like Michael Jackson than Galadriel like the battle overview the player characters flesh out the experience
