I received my EFF member tshirt, together with membership card and bumper sticker 🙂 I’ve got back into GTAV, just before the announcement of Red Dead Redemption 2! Been playing a little of one of the free games for October on PSN network Transformers: Devastation, although was very tempted to pick up the original Resident Evil HD remake. I’ve been working on Machine Learning models in R and Python, playing…

There was a new update today for PS4 Street Fighter V, Version 1.06; thought I’d boot up the game and blow the dust off of my fightstick… really wish I hadn’t 🙁 I couldn’t finish a simple 10 rounds with Ibuki without being disconnected from the server. I really want to like this game, but it seems such an unstable server build from Capcom. Looking forward to when my boy…

Today I picked up Mirror’s Edge Catalyst, for the PS4, as a belated Father’s Day gift; awesome choice son 🙂 I’m only through the intro mission, but I like the authentic feel, and the open city aspect… although I can see how challenges, as in the original, could be frustrating; as the times allowed for completion leave little, to no room, for error. Looking forward to getting familiar with Faith…

In a moment of weakness I ordered a Raspberry Pi 3 last week, on the basis that my current original Raspberry Pi is a little too slow. I pretty much stopped playing with it after the USB stick / drive I was using bricked, so this weekend I’ve powered it up again and I’m quite impressed. I’ve overclocked the Raspberry Pi to Pi2 settings, although not sure what this means…

Ironically from a Reddit post 🙂 How to delete or overwrite all your Reddit This code will run without the name Reddit auth 🙂 I think the best solution is to use RES to load up as many comments as you can on one page, then use client side javascript to click them on a timer. Use RES to load as many comments as you can on one web page…

After a long sojourn I had fun moving past a couple of bonfires on Dark Souls 3 this evening I should maybe make it a mission to complete this wonderful title!

I’ve just become aware of Google Cloud; off to migrate a web site and see how it behaves. Can I host python bots on there too? The again I’ve ordered a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ today 🙂 Must reconfigure my orig Pi with this tutorial: tor router

Fusion table showing PS4 titles by genre Inspired by a fusion chart I created for xbox 360 titles, I thought I’d try and build similar for the PS4 🙂 All data sourced from wikipedia: PS4 Games Food for thought, I hope to play with other sources in the future. Increase the nodes to max for full visibility! About Fusion Tables Bust your data out of its silo! Get more from…
The latest Geek Chic to add to my wardrobe arrived yesterday, and I love it; quality build and stylish… well at least I think so I was looking for a Deus Ex style long trench coat, but thought this one more practical 🙂 Here’s a link to the store / item; sure I’ll be picking up more from them.

I’m not sure why this iteration of Deus Ex isn’t getting me enthralled, but nevertheless I’ve made it to what I feel is the beginning of the game proper. And now the big question arrives; how do I spend my praxis points? There are many guides online, and I found this Forbes article the most helpful: Ten Things I Wish I Knew When I Started ‘Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’ I…

I understand Search Engine Optimisation, although I don’t claim to have a clue what is happening with the Google search algorithm; and thus this question? Why does this site [www.gamer-geek-news.com] get presented on the first page of Bing, DuckDuckGo, and StartPage, when searching for ‘Gamer Geek’; but not Google? Found an answer Why do I get different results with StartPage than Google? Last modified on 16 August 2016 02:45 AM…

Journey is coming free to PS4 PS Plus members in September, w00t 🙂 Together with Lords of the Fallen; from what I’ve read is Dark Souls like… not sure how to take this as I’ve yet to get far in a Dark Souls title, due to lack of time and ‘git gud’ ability… must revisit DS3 & Bloodborne Awesome! Journey has shown up for free in the Playstation store today…

I’ve tagged so many articles to post about, I really must sort out mobile access. One find I’ve gotta share is the Paranoia RPG game rebuilt in python… although I haven’t had chance to run it successfully as yet /* This is a solo paranoia game taken from the Jan/Feb issue (No 77) of “SpaceGamer/FantasyGamer” magazine. Article by Sam Shirley. Implemented in C on Vax 11/780 under UNIX by Tim…

Travelling so not a lot of time for games; but did pick up Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. Awesome follow on to Deus Ex: Human Revolution, although I’m not happy with Square Enix’s pay to evolve quicker model… will this set a theme for Final Fantasy XV? I’ll post more after I’ve played more 🙂

12 out of 15 hours of my Overwatch time have been spent playing Mercy, time for a change! And not just in character, but play style… although funnily enough I’ve achieve better healing stats with Lucio, and love the advantages of Symmetra. So I’ve taken my fight to the front line, when no-one else in the team has chosen a healer in quick play; I’m just one level away from…

It allows you to make musical patterns with text, describing sequences and ways of transforming and combining them, exploring complex interactions between simple parts. To see and hear Tidal in action, check out some videos…
