My First Mac 2012-2018

Well, something really unexpected happened: My mid-2011 Mac Mini died. Outta nowhere. It was just sitting there, running Pi-hole inside a VMWare VM. And all of a sudden I noticed the internet wasnt working on anything. So I went to check the router and eventually I realized the power light

RDR2: My Final Decision

Ive given it some more time and now I think I can give my final verdict. Red Dead Redemption 2 is not my Game of the Year. I really like RDR 2, and its absolutely amazing what Rockstar has managed from all aspects: technically, story, details, audio, animals, characters... just

More on RDR2 (Spoilers !!!)

If you don't wanna get spoiled leave now. Heavy spoilers will follow. I have a problem with RDR2, more specifically how the story played out. I feel betrayed and struggle with playing it after beating the game. Picture this: You are Arthur Morgan. A cowboy. You hang with

Game Beaten: Red Dead Redemption 2

This is another game that I wanna write a whole essay about, but Ill keep it short for now. I still havent played RDR 1 by the way. I might though. Its a lot shorter. RDR 2 is a revolutionary game. Its packed with content and stuff to do, its

current opinion vs history

i started thinking about Breath of the Wild again and went back to read my original review and early impressions. i hate my opinions from then and want to remove them. but the preservationist in me wants to keep it, and so i will. i think its important to keep

Game Beaten: Marvel's Spider-Man (PS4)

What do I care about Spider-Man? Well, not much. I saw the 2002 movie when it was new (I was around 6) and thats pretty much it. I know hes a super hero, I know there are games (I played the 2002 game I think) and hes... known. So how

Analogue Super Nt - The Best Super Nintendo

The Analogue Super Nt is the best Super Nintendo. Hardware The packaging and hardware on its own feel incredible: sturdy, has some weight to it and feels premium. You can hook it up by using all the included things in the box: HDMI cable (that isn't generic, it&

Game Beaten: Earthbound

I started writing a long post on this game.Too long.I might go back and finish it and publish it later. Like in a few months or years. (Seriously, no guarantees I'll go back.) There is a ton of stuff I want to eventually say about this

Yes, Mid 2014 retina Macbook Pro works with 3440x1440 @ 60 Hz

Apple docs: Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on up to two external displays, both at millions of colors Makes you think that the mid-2014 can't drive a ultrawide 3440x1440 screen at 60

Going Ultrawide

I ordered a Dell U3417W today. A 34", Ultrawide 21:9, 3440x1440 IPS display. Notably it has no adaptive sync technology and only runs at 60 Hz. Now why did I do this? Well, frankly it was kind of impulsive. I even tried to go through my web browser

All MacBook Pro's Currently Suck

Yes, here's yet another person jumping on the hate train. This is not an original thought. I got a Macbook Pro again. A retina 13" from mid 2014. Yes, a 2014 machine in 2018. Why?Simple. All Macbook Pro's suck at the moment. Either way

Breath of the Wild - A Year Later

Yes, I should've made this post 8 days earlier so it would've been exactly a year, but whatever. The Nintendo Switch and Breath of the Wild has already been out for a year. Crazy how fast time passes. A year ago I was seriously starting to

On Switching My Twitter @

Ever since I joined Twitter, I've been using @djs__ but now I am nadbmal. Why? * I hate numbers and symbols in usernames. Obviously I would prefer just djs but that's not available or is too short. * I'm sick of DJ's (disc jockey&

Tiger Woods, South Park and Dummy Files

For some reason I read the Wikipedia article about The Spirit of Christmas, the South Park precursor. I think I got there because yesterday I watched 6 Days to Air and so I read about the history of South Park and so on and so on. Anyway, not alot of

The Coffee Lake Build

I got the new parts, and I built the new computer, and I love it.I love how it looks, I love how silent it is, and I love that it's running on Intel again. Building this PC was fun, but took a very long time because I

The Eagle Ryzes... And Flies Away

I ordered some computer parts today: * Fractal Design Define C (case) * Noctua NH U14S (CPU cooler) * Intel i7 8700K (CPU) * Asus Rog Strix Z370-F (motherboard) The thing that's controversial about this, is that it wasn't long ago I built my Ryzen system. Judging from my receipts,

Game Beaten: Uncharted 2 (PS4)

* Very frustrating controls. I died a lot from it doing stuff I did not intend to. * Good story. I really like Chloe. * Pretty mediocre graphics, which makes sense since its a PS3 game (I played on PS4 though) * Good puzzles Overall like a 7/10. Good game but nothing spectacular

How I Rip My DVDs and Blu-Rays

This is mostly just gonna be from memory, and without screenshots, because I can't stand how outdated the information in my old post is. However, that old post still might be more educational as it has screenshots and I explain more. But afterall, it is called "How

Some words on the Project Scorpio

I got one of these. I wasn't planning on at first because I missed out on the chance of getting a Project Scorpio-edition because you had to pre-order and I didn't really wanna do it at the time, but at launch, to my surprise, my favorite

Week 46 (2017) Review

I wanna write about something. Good: * Been obsessed with Taylor Swift. Considering going to a concert of hers if she comes to Sweden. * Found the old and nostalgic Super Mario Bros Super Show and Legend of Zelda with the Swedish dub that I heard when I was a kid. For

Laptops...

I miss having a laptop. Here's the problem: the only laptops I like are made by Apple, and they're expensive. The other problem: I only use a laptop, once, or maybe twice, a week. So getting an expensive MacBook (doesn't matter if it'

Initial Thoughts on iPhone X

When the Samsung S8 was shown I was very impressed and wanted it, but I held out and waited because I knew I wanted the iPhone version of that. And now I finally have it. Was it worth the money? If you ask most people - probably not. For me?

Game Beaten: Super Mario Odyssey (Switch)

It's great. It's my 2nd favorite Mario game probably (1st being Mario 64, obviously.) I don't particularly like the controls. I had some issues doing sideflips and you are forced to use motion controls despite using a Pro Controller, but they're still

Autohotkey Script for Using Apple Magic Keyboard 2 on Windows

Here's the Autohotkey script I have settled for using with my Apple Magic Keyboard 2 on Windows 10. ; AutoHotkey script to make Apple Magic Keyboard 2 (Bluetooth, released in 2015) usable in Windows; Unfortunately the actual FN-key and the Eject key on this keyboard does literally nothing in

Apple Magic Keyboard 2 for Gaming

A while back I told you that the Apple Magic Keyboard 2 works with Windows over USB. Then Stammy, a fellow I follow on Twitter, posted his setup and I noticed he is using a Windows PC, with this keyboard, wirelessly. So I decided to try it over Bluetooth, with
