Things I’m playing with over the Xmas NY break π 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 find the challengesΒ The Last Guardian a refreshing challenge; they’re not awarded for just playing, you have to play the game to its full to be awarded. This is Β a great break from just being in a game, or putting in hours, getting awarded with a trophy. I won’t be awarded many trophies on this play through , although I am enjoying the giant beast and youth interaction, so reminiscent…

Merry Xmas! Our boy is still a little young to geek out at xmas, although last night visiting friends he picked up a controller and gave Minecraft a bash… not bad for one 20 months old π I’m still finishing off FFxv have picked up Overwatch again looking to actually rank for the first time in season 3 re-installed Witcher 3 to finish off after FF currently downloading the update…

There’s a lot of running around The style if FF all the way, the interactions seamless It feels like a MMORPG in that you can easily walk into side quests It’s all about the team Switching of weapons and items is quick and easy Need I say the FMW is cinema quality The characters are likeable The time of the environment is more Fallout than Fallout I’m binge watching Entourage…

I’ve ditched Dishonoured 2, it was too close to the original, without the novelty, and still as linear. I’ve picked up Watch Dogs 2 in the hope it was better than its predecessor; and I’m sadly disappointed for a simple reason… The driving FFS this is from the guys who made the original, and following, Driver series. Back when Grand Theft Auto was trying to break into 3D, Driver was…

https://youtu.be/vL6Qdem_kKg Best documentary I think I’ve watched, in a sad gamer way, from a game I’ve never known, although I understand the players drive and ambition… not saying I’m skilled or committed enough to achieve what these guys did, but I appreciate their casus belli

I’ve been working my way through Trevor Stephens well written and informative Kaggle Titanic tutorial for R. Competition Description The sinking of the RMS Titanic is one of the most infamous shipwrecks in history. On April 15, 1912, during her maiden voyage, the Titanic sank after colliding with an iceberg, killing 1502 out of 2224 passengers and crew. This sensational tragedy shocked the international community and led to better safety…

I’m 2 hours into Dishonored 2 [It pains me to spell the title without a u :)] on the PS4, I decided to play with Emily on my first play through, and I’m enjoying the experience. I went through the original xbox360 Dishonored with minimal kills and achieved the none chaotic ending; not sure of how I’ll play this campaign; but I usually go for peaceful when possible. I stayed…

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 π 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 π 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 π How to delete or overwrite all your Reddit This code will run without the name Reddit auth π 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…

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 π Here’s a link to the store / item; sure I’ll be picking up more from them.
