Mostly gaming, but with a focus on retro gaming and tech. Just moved from a generalistic instance.

New keyboard The phone camera fails to get the colors right (same as always with Samsung), but... It should still be obvious.
I began ordering happy meals instead of the normal burgers because those are too big for me, but the toys are becoming a problem. I have no idea how to get rid of these other than throwing them to the trash. Maybe leave them lying around in park benches where parents go with kids in hope someone will pick them?

"I'm letting you pick the console and games for the coop session".

And he had to say "Contra III: The Alien Wars". Now I have to "git gud" at it in two weeks. Argh.

The Summer Games Done Quick 2025 schedule is screwing me like it never has. Around the evening / night time in europe, I get 4 hours RPG runs. I like Pokémon runs, but I don't have the stomach for another Scarlet / Violet race.

Honestly, I think the VOD viewership statistics are a better success metric than the live viewers.

Not sure if appropriate for work, but we are on the third heatwave so far, I'm out of clean tees, and I don't have enough dirty laundry to use the washing machine without wasting water and energy.

First day I managed to get back home without sweating, and I end drenched in sweating from doing home chores in the evening.

Summer sucks, yet I still refuse to install AC. That will only make the global warming problem even worse. And speaking of warm, no streaming until the weather improves. My ancient second screen runs pretty hot, and I don't trust myself to not swear like a sailor when the heat gets to me .

But anyways... Let's finish wiring the PC. Yesterday I tool everything away to prepare a mockup setup for the LanParty, and I just could not put everything back without cleaning where the cables usually reign.

Oh, wait. When did they model the Shambler's teeth???

I never noticed it until I was able to get close to it when summoned as a familiar.

Who's a good boy? Both of you!

Scourge of Armagon is how a expansion should be. I can't say the same about Disolution of Eternity. it simply feels cheap, even if it is not as bad as the Quake II expansions.

PS: I know that purists hate antialias on Quake, but that's how I played it in the late nineties with a 3DFX card.

same as every year, heat waves suck for playing FPS games. Once the skin gets sticky, it becomes impossible to mouse aim with the arm instead of the wrist.

Yesterday i was in the mood for Doom after ordering a sound card with midi capabilities, and I ended having to wear a basketball sleeve to glide my arm over the desk.

Yes, i still care about Steam seasonal badges. Getting the #SteamSummerSale one is going to be a pain in the pooper now that you can only get them by buying stuff.
