In the last few days I’ve been teaching myslef how easy it is to parry… and wondering why I haven’t been doing it earlier? ~106 hours in, I finally have the eureka moment that I may have been missing something, and this time it wasm’t a chic armour ensemble… so I decided to learn how to parry 🙂 Tl;Dr: I fitted Carian Retaliation to the Carian Knight’s Shield Parry Skill…

According to an article in The Sun, Drake was spotted riding a dolphin while on vacation in Turks and Caicos. The article says that the rapper was “clearly enjoying himself” as he took turns riding the dolphin’s back. This may, or may not, have been generated by OpenAI

Tai Chi Yang 18 Form Introduction Tai Chi Yang style 18 Form is one of the most popular tai chi forms. It’s also known as…
I’ve been playing heaps of Bee Swarm Simulator with my son! He has so many more bees than me, heaps more equipment, and can access areas beyond my reach… but I have the power to search the web, and I’d like to share what I’ve found with you other parents [aka n00bs :grin:], or for experienced apiarists scroll down for Bee Swarm Simulator unlock codes! So what does Roblox tell…
15 things that you didn’t know about blockchain 1. Blockchain technology can help reduce fraudulent activities. Blockchain technology creates a secure, decentralized database of transactions that can be used to track anything of value. This could potentially help reduce fraudulent activities, as it would be more difficult for criminals to alter the records. Additionally, the transparency of the blockchain could also help to deter fraud, as all transactions would be…

I love smileys and emoticons, feel they go beyond the traditional puntuation, and help express the tone, scinerity, and sarcasm of the words, so they can be read as intended. So I was so stoked to find these that work within WordPress! Warning: my posts going forward will certainly include more little smiling yellow faces 😀 icon text text full text icon full text 🙂 🙂 🙂 😆 😀 :-D…
Our son is a big fan of Roblox, specifically Bee Swarm Simulator. Fan maybe an understatement, as with Minecraft, he has an encyclopedic knowledge of the game and system… and what kind of a Gamer Dad would I be if I didn’t encourage him, and play with him? 🙂 Issue is I’m far behind where he is now; he’s at around 32 bees, with crazy pollon extracts per second. So…

I’ve been playing Elden Ring since launch, with very little direction or focus. This weekend I discovered that there was more to Stormveil Castle than I’d uncovered, and it’s actually the home of the first Demon Lord! Smashed him on the second attempt, with the help of an NPC, and player who was generous to help. Raya Lucaria Academy next, already a couple of sites of grace in 🙂 Although…
Exploring more of the options with Nvidia Shield, I’ve found the options to stream are limited, and the real benefit is from streaming games from my Nvidia equipped gaming rig. Nvidia Shield The NVIDIA Shield is a gaming console that allows users to play games on their television. The console itself is a small box that connects to the television via an HDMI cable. The console has a variety of…

This morning I received an email inviting me to use Mozilla’s VPN service. Now I wasn’t really on the lookout for a VPN, as I’ve been more than happy with Cryptostorm for many years… but then I considered that for my mobile I’d give up a little privacy, for a bit more speed. Installed easily, paid for a year with a gift card given to me by a colleague, and…

While checking out PS Now, by chance I stumbled across Shadow Warrior 3. I’ve never heard anything of this series before… how come!? Impressive graphics, cool gun and sword play, viscreal finishing moves… it’s like Doom, just with more humour 🙂 Not sure if I’ll finish it in the near future, or if it’s another one for the backlog, but it does seem like a title I can pick up…

Now I’m in a tough spot, I’ve been playing this on and off from release, at 66 years old at The Sanctuary… and now because of this patch I have options! I’ve just played through The Club to check out the new suit, had a hussle in the training room, but now I’m tempted to start a new game on easy with the female protagonist, and see how far I…

Haven’t posted in a while… mainly due to Gran Turismo 7! What a awesome way to pass time, I’ve hooked, and it’s taking me back to Y2K… but that will be another post I’ve developed a love for Rogue games… again another post I should wite My OnePlus6T Android mobile stopped charging, so I’ve picked up a OnePlus9… as they say in Thailand; Same, Same, but Better A Python script…
So fighting one battle, I was tapping away at L2, shooting our Reduvia’s special… and then snap! I felt the trigger give way beneath my left index finger! After decades of gaming, I’ve finally encountered an input device that has given way… keyboard coffee & wine spills excluded. The issue is apparently well known, and widely experienced, springs breaking that hold the adaptive triggers in place. After going through the…

Sifu at the start of the month, Horizon last weekend, Elden Ring today, Gran Turismo 7 less than a week away! So spoiled with impressive titles, how cool is this! Currently enduring the FormSoftware pain of Elden Rings… tbh it’s Dark Souls 3 in a open World, but what about that is not to love? Enjoying the mechanic of being able to walk around foes, knowing I’ll come back one…

I’ve been waiting for this SloClap title for a long time, and I’m so stoked with what has been delivered: varied vicereal combat, which flows like a q tip track Absolver was intersting, and fun… to an extent, but Sifu takes it to a higher plane. A linear, rogue esq title, that reivents perks, and takes beat ’em ups to another level. Fighting games now have a new benchmark, and…

Together with Gamer Pass on my PC, and access to a NA PS Now, I’ve been content, and swamped in games! I’ve been enjoying smaller Indie titles, specifically of the rougue genre… I blame Hades for this attraction; maybe the seed was planted originally by Neon Chrome back in 2017? Here’s a snapshot of what I’ve been playing, just on the PS5 Dirt 5 (pumped drifting) F1 2020 (didn’t expect…
