2 TB in a softmodded Xbox? Sure, why not!

I've spent the past couple of days FTP'ing over ~1.7 TB of games to my OG Xbox. I believe it's the entire library, apart from a couple of duplicate football titles (where the only difference was the featured team) Why a couple of

Spooky

We are using Ghost now! I retired my ye olde lambblog, which was essentially just a Python script that generated a bunch of static HTML files. While that worked fine, I've gotten kind of annoyed with it. For one thing, I wanted to make it containerized, but that

Games played this year, so far

I've been lazy with making my "Game beaten" posts this year. I've actually played a lot of games, but just haven't felt like making posts about them. Not because they were bad or anything, I've just been lazy. I'

Game Beaten

Skyrim

Do you ever really beat this game? No, you don't really, you can't get the credits to scroll. But I finished the main quest so I guess that will suffice. I have never actually finished this game before, but I got the vibe to play it

Half-Life 2 turns 20

20 years ago me and my brother were pissed at a thing called Steam. Today its the only place I wanna buy games on. Actually, thats a lie, it was 20 years ago tomorrow. I know that because thats how old my brothers Steam account is (Steam conveniently has a

GTA San Andreas Turns 20

Well, I guess I'm getting old because I remember when the game came out. I'm also getting old because I just realized that its this games 20th birthday at 23:30, so I only have an half hour to write this! Let's see how

Game Beaten

Astro Bot

Did you like Astros Playroom that came with your PS5? Great, this is more of that! I loved Astros Playroom so I was very excited when I found about this game coming out. And once the game was out, I didn't rush through it because I wanted it

Game Beaten

FF7 Rebirth (aka Remake Part 2)

I'm a bit torn on this game. On one hand, it's incredible, and my GOTY probably. During the first couple 10-20 hours there were moments that made me cry of joy... the music, the visuals, the areas, the nostalgia, the fan service, the story, the emotions.

Game Beaten

Crisis Core... One of the worst games I've ever played

Just finished Crisis Core. Or to be more specific, CRISIS CORE -FINAL FANTASY VII- REUNION (great title!) I know I usually put a screenshot when I make these posts but no... not with this game... I just cant bother. Lets get the good stuff out of the way: * Music is

Game Beaten

Final Fantasy VI

I finally finished FF6 yesterday. This is a game Ive had on my backlog for quite some time probably as long as Ive had the concept of a backlog. But its finally checked off. What did I think about it? It was great! Music is amazing, probably top 5 video

Game Beaten

Alan Wake 2

* Beautiful game. Very demanding on my computer though, almost felt like I needed a RTX 4090 to properly enjoy it... I ended up lowering resolution and other settings instead :( * Very weird and very interesting story. That's why I kept playing it. * Mediocre gameplay otherwise. I kinda liked the

Red Dead Redemption II - Still Incredible

I've been gushing over RDR2 lately. I played through it again earlier in the year, and it was incredible. And I feel like it gets better with age. I don't think we quite got how good it was when it released. But now its been over

Game Beaten

Spider-Man 2 (PS5)

Haven't done one of these posts in a while. Not sure why. I've been playing a bunch of games, albeit most of them have been games I already played before. But today I have a brand spanking new game that was awesome that I want to

Deactivated Twitter

I just deactivated my main Twitter account. Why now? I dont know. Maybe the doge logo was the final straw, though, I gotta admit I kinda liked it. Nah but Ive been on the edge of deactivating my Twitter account for a good while now. I just dont get any

Thoughts on Gaming Laptops

I got a gaming laptop earlier this year. I was moving and so I figured it'd be easier if I just gutted and sold my desktop and replaced it with a laptop, and so I did! I got a 15" Lenovo Legion 5 Pro with an i7

Elden Ring. It's a good game.

Figured I should make a post commemorating this game that took over my life for a couple of weeks. I wasn't planning on playing it, and was going to boycot it, because I hate the elitist "git gud" SoulsBorne community, I am not part of the

gamele.app

Here's what I worked on this week: gamele.app. It's like Wordle but for game screenshots. Currently it has screenshots for these systems: * NES * SNES * N64 * GameBoy * Genesis/Mega Drive * Playstation 1 I plan on adding more, or maybe combine them all. Great programming exercise it

Emulation on Chromecast Google TV

Couple of weeks ago I got a Chromecast with Google TV, or as you can elegantly abbreviate it: CCwGTV. Main reason was to remove my Apple TV 4K box so I had one less box hooked up, along with its 3 cables (power, ethernet, HDMI). Unfortunately, this Chromecast requires dedicated

Movies I Watched in 2021

I watched very few movies this year. I pretty much only watch YouTube nowadays if I am watching anything. But, here are the few actual movies I watched: John Wick (2014) Being on a Cyberpunk 2077 kick, I figured I should watch some movies that are loosely related. This movie

Thoughts on GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition (Game Beaten: Vice City DE)

I don't know if you've heard but Rockstar announced that a "Definitive Edition" of the classic GTA trilogy was coming and I got really excited for that because I love the original GTA trilogy. They are very special games to me, for many reasons.

Game Beaten: Resident Evil 3 Remake [Updated]

Had this one on my radar for quite some time since I liked the RE2 Remake. This was one was... very mediocre. I mean it's not bad or anything. It has nice graphics, nice controls, nice art design, music, mood, voice acting, everything. The story and characters were

Game Beaten: "DEATHLOOP"

I was not planning on getting this game. Sony constantly showed it in their presentations and it just looked so bland and generic. That, in combination with it being a Bethesda (which is now Microsoft) published title, really did not make me want the game. But then the reviews came

V appears more modest in the inventory preview after the half year montage ;)

Last weekend, or whenever the hell it was, I compiled all the Cyberpunk 2077 patch notes into one long list. Now, a week later or however long it's been, I remembered this line from version 1.05: V appears more modest in the inventory preview after the half

Anne Pro 2 + Custom Layout is Incredible

I got another keyboard this month, an Anne Pro 2. It's a 60% keyboard that is pretty cheap. I've actually had an Anne Pro 2 before, but it was in ASCII layout and that caused a problem for me because I am too used to the

Game Beaten: Mass Effect 3

Hmm, I don't know how to start my thoughts on ME3. I like it, a lot, but I also hate a lot about it. A lot of it felt like a downgrade from ME2: * Planet scanning was simplified and just felt like me going around spamming the scan,
