Unfortunately i don't think the makers of the #murderbot show understood what made the books so good. They managed to take a story that was really well paced and funny and make it drag out and, just, be boring. :/

So getting on a long flight today, i was smart and decided to preload some games on my steam deck for the flight. Figured i could try the 4th mass effect. So i installed it at home, made sure it finished downloading all the things. Getting on the plane, trying to start it: - EA Launcher […]

So when YouTube claimed i was in the 0.1% top listeners of small artists, like Agnes Obel, i was willing to believe that there aren't a lot of people who would just have her on shuffle for 8 hours while working. But this? How. I'm having a very hard time […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

Today technology and i just do not mix: - game refused to start. apparently due to a driver update issue, took ~3h to debug - took about 1h to figure out some sort of voice chat system that 3 (computer literate!) people can use - my steam deck refused to connect to the dock (so i couldn't use […]
