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…
New VPN Cloud Games
02/06/2022
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…
New to the Shadows
30/05/2022
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…
Sifu 1.009 Patch
05/05/2022
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…

A busy techy month
30/04/2022
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…
Elden Ring – PS5 starter FAQ
25/02/2022
This is my own ongoing Elden Ring PS5 FAQ, of things I searched for while first playing the game, hope others find it of use. How to quickly mount torrent On the equipment screen, once you have the Spectral Steed Whistle, at the bottom of screen in quickselect item slots. You should see your Flask of Crimson Tears and Flask of Cerulean Tears in the first two slots. Find an…
Golden age of gaming!
25/02/2022
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…
Finally met my Sifu
08/02/2022
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…
Too many games, not enough time
21/01/2022
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…
PS5 GTAV Dr. Dre Online Offline
17/12/2021
GTA launched back in 2013, shocking, nearly a decade ago, and I’ve just found how to play PS5 GTAV Online Offline I’ll mention this at the start for you to keep it in mind: Be mindful of these changes, set MTU Settings back to Automatic when you’ve finished I didn’t play online for along time as my internet connection wasn’t viable, now when I try and play I get rolled…
Back to Debian
13/12/2021
My distro cycle continues, back to Debian I go. Installing my old SSD’s into my new box, Ubuntu wouldn’t load correctly with the display unusable… Manjaro funnily enough was OK. After recently backing up my Home directory it motivated me to make a clean OS install. I’ve read great things of Mint over the years, claims of its usability and security, but I didn’t last one day until I switched…
Godfall: Challenger Edition
11/12/2021
Enjoying this title more than I expected. Didn’t really know what to expect, but I didn’t think it would be so fluid, and vivid. Still getting used to the finesse of the controls, not quite sure what I’m doing, except having fun 🙂
Get Back

Watching The Beatles, Get Back… best telly that I’ve watched in years
nova gaming pc
24/11/2021
I have finally upgraded my PC, to an 11th Gen 11700K + RTX 3060 AMP White Limited Edition For a long time I was sick of my old Frankenstein box shutting down on me, now I have one that feels like a Ferrari in comparison, and allows me to play games at ultra settings 🙂 So what did I get for my cash? Sick of the AMD chipset straining in…

Orca video from the beach
05/11/2021
I’ve swam with humpback whales, turtles, stingray, & sharks. Traveled up the Mekong to see Irwady doliphins, been out on a couple of dolphin and whale safari’s where I’ve had the privilege of seeing pods of dolphons 50+ in size, and Southern Bryde’s Whales. Orca have been on my bucket list for a long time, and in the last couple of weeks I’ve had the pleasure of seeing them three…
pi drama
09/10/2021
Alerted by my darling wife yesterday that Arlo had stopped working, this usually means that the Raspberry Pi that runs Pi-Hole needs restarting… never looked into the issue, as this is few and far between. Checked my Twitter feed @DataAugmented, as a couple of python scripts that I have running on the same Pi post & retweet there… no activity for over 24 hours, bugger :p Reboot Pi… it hangs…
3 year web slinging
14/09/2021
This week after 3 years I’ve finished and fallen for Spider-Man. Non-ironically it’s Marvelous, the story & characters are both familiar and novel, the combat slick with a variety of styles. I’ve loved Spidey titles since early incarnations on the original PlayStation, when it shared an engine with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater… coincidence that I’m playing modern day recreations of both today 🙂 The one thought that I took away,…
