For Emerilia! I accept that at this point, I’m hooked on this crap. Honestly. Its like the author is manipulating me some how. I know its easy reading LitRPG crap. But… God, I love these characters. I read this one, the second volume of the Emerilia series in basically two sittings. Its shorter than the…
Book Club: The Trapped Mind Project by Michael Chatfield
LitRPGs are my jam! There is a category of book called the Literature Role Play Game (LitRPG) the basic premise is that a character is either stuck in a video game or reality is a video game and our hero figures it out. Some times its neither, its just a video game like setting, but we have…
Book Club: The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester
Tiger! Tiger! Sometimes I worry that I read too many books with the word “Stars” in the title. This one I literally did not choose for the name though. I had a vague recollection of a book I bounced off when I was a teenager. All I remember was that there was a main character…
Book Club: Pattern Recognition by William Gibson
Yes, I am aware of Mr Gibson’s opus. This book was published in 2003. William Gibson wrote it (I know, Blowing your mind with FACTS!) The last time I read a new William Gibson novel was about 15 years go. Maybe more. It’s odd to me that I don’t seek out more of his work…
Book Club: The City and The Starts by Arthur C Clarke
Proof that big ideas can be boring. I don’t read much Arthur C Clarke because I read Rama and it was boring. I’ll call him ACC because I consistently forget how to spell Arthur. About a week ago, I decided that given how much I have recently been enjoying older science fiction writers perhaps my…
Book Club: Stranger in a strange land by Robert A. Heinlein
I have just finished it and I have things to say. Grok. The word “Grok” is the reason I read this book. The word Grok is taken to mean either “understand” or “know.” You may have encountered this word if you spend any time with “high end” ass hats. You see, casually dropping a foreign word into…
Why is everything so damned good
Content warning: this is a pointless ramble The biggest problem I face with my entertainment is that is TOO damned good! Here are the plates I’m currently spinning… (Things I’m trying to find time for) Video All those CW DC shows (CW) Lucifer (Netflix) More Star Trek TOS, that I never stop watching. My Yearly…
GDP DX Repair Video
This post is not Linux related! (shock! horror!) The Problem! I have this Android emulator handheld gaming thing. Its a GPD XD+ and I really like it. Because it gets a lot of use, it has began showing signs of its age. The hinge housing on the top part of the lower half has cracked….
Halo Reach
Last night I played Halo:Reach. When I loaded it I had around 30 mins logged. I started a new game and exited when I had finished the campaign. I currently have 8 hours logged. I it was a very shooty night, and I stayed awake for many more hours than I really should have done….
GNU Stow
I made a Video about GNU Stow a while back. The general idea behind it is that it works by using symlinks to essentially automatically manage your files. Most people use them for DOT (Config) Files. Heres a super basic guide so you know how to use it… install Stow (sudo pacman -S stow) Make a folder…
