Game Beaten: Parasite Eve

Not sure how much I have to say about this game. I ran into it because I watched some random video on YouTube called 7 Short JRPGs Worth Your Time! and it seemed neat. I started playing it and yeah, it's definitively different from my Final Fantasy games.

Game Beaten: Final Fantasy IX

The peak of video games. No, really, I really think so. If it's the year 2000 and you're making a game for the PS1, this is the best game that could've been made. Everything is so polished and looks great and plays great even

folklore

alrighty, another taylor release, a surprise to be sure but a welcome one. she's going lowercase so i am too. * the 1: i like that this is track 1 (since it's called that). skipped after halfway, 4/10 * cardigan: good, 7/10 * the last great american

Game Beaten: Final Fantasy VII

This time without the asterisk. I did it legit on original console and discs. And frankly, I realize it's not such a big deal because it's a pretty easy game. ...atleast if you abuse Tifa and her Powersoul weapon together with the Deathblow=Added Cut materia.

Game Beaten*: Final Fantasy VII

It's fair to say I haven't really played this game until now. Yeah I played it 10 years ago or whatever, but I didn't really understand it and so I've grown this mindset about it where I completely underestimated it. I cannot

Game Beaten: The Last of Us 2

Despite what you heard and the user score on Metacritic (3.4/10 over 24k reviews at time of writing): it's good. They did take a hell of a risk with this game though, so I can see why some people would just throw it away immediately. But

Game Beaten: Final Fantasy 7 Remake

Im on vacation and I wanted to play a game on my PS4. And for some reason I went with the FF7 remake. Followers of this blog and me will know that I played the demo and really liked it, but not much more than that. I wasnt gonna pre-order.

Most Efficient Way to Watch Twitch in macOS

I rarely use the Twitch website to watch streams. Instead I use my own little script called whoislive to see who is live, and then I watch it using Streamlink. And then, if I really wanna look at chat, I use IRC, specifically irssi. Here's a quick little

Going from a 2010 Macbook Pro to a 2020 Macbook Pro

Ever since Apple started releasing new Macbook Pro's with good keyboards again I've been very interested in buying one.And so I finally did. I cheaped out and went with the cheapest 13" Pro though. I really can't stand Apple's RAM

Getting Excited for PS5

I'm starting to get excited for the PlayStation 5. We still don't know a whole lot about it even though it's meant to be available in less than half a year. Well, we know some stuff, like some of the tech specs, but we

Moved to Linode

After hearing about Linode on podcasts, and my old VPS provider pissing me off, I've now moved to Linode! And if you are reading this on May 28th, it means I managed to do so! I really hate re-setting up apache, php, letsencrypt etc, but it had to

Game Beaten: Back to the Future Part III (Sega Genesis)

Before you read this, I assume you've watched the AVGN episode on it: Back to the Future ReRevisited. And then I will also recommend you to watch the James & Mike Monday ft. Bootsy episode on it. That's what I knew going into this. I'

Air-cooling Ryzen 3900X in a Louqe Ghost

For a couple of weeks now I've ran a Ryzen 3900X in my Louqe Ghost S1 case. 12 cores in a case that small could be considered crazy, but it isn't too bad. I was going to make this post a really long one, similar to

Game Beaten: Half-Life: Alyx

I beat the game yesterday and I started writing a really long post about this game, a 6679 characters long post, before I stopped. I just couldn't do it justice. This game is epic and has so many things about it that I wanna talk about, but my

Eternal Doom

I've been anticipating Doom Eternal for years now and it's finally here. I was so excited to play it I used a New Zealand VPN to fool Steam into thinking it was the 20th so I could play it one day earlier. And Doom Eternal, or

Games I've Beaten January 2020-March 22 2020

I don't know why I stopped writing "Game Beaten:" posts immediately after beating a game this year, so I'll have to make this post to catch up. * ? January: Uncharted 1 (PS4) * Pretty awful, the sequels are a lot better * 4 January: Modern Warfare (PS4)

Thoughts on Final Fantasy 7 Remake Demo

I just finished the FF7 Remake Demo and here are my thoughts. Why do I have thoughts about it? Am I excited about this game? No, not really. FF7 isn't really a game I have played alot - I haven't finished it - so really what

macOS on AMD?!? (Ryzen 3900X Hackintosh Build)

What a time to be alive. I never thought it would be possible to run macOS on an AMD based system, but here we are. And perhaps more surprisingly, is that I think this was my smoothest Hackintosh ever.Once I got everything set up exactly, according to this guide,

Disabling Turbo Boost on Intel Laptops

Linked Post Marco's post is about Macs specifically but I think this should apply to Windows laptops too. I've been trying this on my ancient 2010 Macbook Pro and it makes it a lot more pleasant to use in my lap. It runs quieter and cooler

RSS Feed Is Proper Now

Linked Post I've changed lambblog so that the actual post contents is now in the description field so that it shows up properly in RSS Readers, like NetNewsWire for Mac: Enjoy!

GTA San Andreas Added to GTA Checklists

Linked Post I started playing some GTA SA on the old PS2 again and think I might go for 100% so I got the motivation to finally add it. Isn't it beautiful?

Movies I Watched in 2019

Here we are again. I feel like it was just the beginning of 2019 and I started taking notes, thinking it's gonna be forever until I can compile them and publish this. But here we are. 2019 was a great year for movies and me. I watched alot

Red Dead Redemption

Hah, I beat it before the decade was over. I am very happy I played RDR2 before playing this. I feel like I wouldn't know what the hell was going on with the story otherwise. It was very exciting to finally get to see Dutch and Javier and

How to Put 2 16:9 1920x1080 Videos Side-by-side in Vegas

Every time I reinstall Windows I forget to backup my Vegas settings and presets, and so I have to remember and mess around with how to put 2 videos side-by-side, which is something I do often for comparisons. I use Vegas Pro 15.0 but I assume it's

HL2 EP2

I cannot believe they left it like this. I think it's worse than The Sopranos ending. I mean, I've known about how EP2 ended for years, since the game was new basically. I saw my friend and brother play through it when the game was new
