OnePlus 7T Pro First Impressions

I got the phone yesterday, the 17th (release date), so here's my quick impressions: * 90 Hz isn't as revolutionary as I thought it would be. * In-screen fingerprint reader seems to have gotten better since the 6T? I remember having lots of issues with it on the

Sayonara Wild Hearts

I feel like it's a trend nowadays to make artistic games. Games like Journey and Firewatch. It's more about "feeling" the game. It's a neat genre. Sayonara Wild Hearts is another one of those, but this one is a little bit of

Windows XP Blues

I got a hankering for the blues used in Windows XP. The blank dark blue which was the wallpaper if you had the XP Luna theme but no wallpaper, and the title bars. It ended up with me installing Windows XP in a VM and grabbing the values. Couldn'

The Louqe Ghost S1 Build

Not very long ago I wrote how I moved to a mini ITX case. Now I am back to talk about the same subject because I moved into an even smaller case. The Node 304 is a fine case, but it's pretty big and bulky for an ITX

Google Pixel 3a Review

Imagine if there was an iPhone that ran Android and was pretty cheap... Actually, you don't have to imagine, it's the Pixel 3a! When the Pixel lines of phones were new, I saw some Apple people say the Pixel is like the iPhone of Android. And

Game Beaten: Super Mario RPG (SNES)

Another one to check of my "games to beat before I die"-list. You can watch my playthrough here: I used this walkthrough: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/snes/588739-super-mario-rpg-legend-of-the-seven-stars/faqs/8365 -- it was good for the most part, but there were some inaccuracies and some unclear parts

Google Photos Is Better

I uploaded all my photos back to Google Photos again. I didn't remove them from iCloud this time though, I have them in both places. Having an extra backup doesn't hurt. Why though? Why did I do it? Have you ever tried using something and it

GTA V: Still a Masterpiece

I played through GTA V again this week, and I still think this game is amazing. The single player that is. I wouldn't touch the multiplayer even if I was paid to do so. (There might be spoilers, but the game is 6 years old so at this

mITX Considered

It has been almost 3 years since I wrote Considering mITX, and now I have finally considered enough and now finally have a mITX system.But since then, 3 years ago, and now, I've actually gone through 2 different cases: a Fractal Design Define C and a Fractal

We're Static Now

Not too long ago I wrote If It Ain't Broke Don't Fix It.And well, now it's broken and somewhat fixed, because I made my own static blogging engine! It's just a Python script I wrote completely from scratch which parses my

144 Hz is Underrated

I've been messing around with my monitors again, trying to live a One Monitor Life. Mostly just for how clean it looks. In an ideal world my desk would have 3 things: monitor, keyboard and mouse. I will probably never be able to accomplish that, but it'

Thoughts on Google Stadia

Google Stadia was announced yesterday and I'm quite intrigued by it. Yes, there have been similar services before it. Such as OnLive, and they never went anywhere.But since it's Google, I could see it going places. Unless they shut it down randomly, as they do

SimCity (NES) - All 1000 Maps!

I remember seeing sometime ago a website where all the SimCity for SNES maps were documented, so I decided to make the same thing but for the recently resurfaced NES version. I don't care if anyone else already did this, I wanna do this for fun. How did

I Switched To Android

Well, never say never folks. It happened. I switched from my beloved iOS to Android. I switched from a iPhone X to a OnePlus 6T. I went from being a pretty hardcore Apple fanatic, to pretty much not caring about them at all. Why? Well, I don't really

Migrating out of iCloud (2019)

There is a very slight possibility that I might be trying out an Android phone soon, so I wanted to move my stuff out of iCloud. I figured it's easy to use iOS with Google stuff, but it's hard to use Android with iCloud stuff.This

GTA 100% Checklists

Linked Post Here's a little propject I've been working on: GTA 100% Checklists. The code is available on GitHub also: https://github.com/lambdan/gta_checklists What is it? Well it's 100% checklists for the GTA games (only Vice City at the moment), but

No More Ultrawide

Oh boy, time to go back and critique myself: Going Ultrawide. Not even a year ago, I ordered a Ultrawide monitor and brought up some arguments for why I thought it was a good idea. After that monitor, I also got a Acer X34P, which at the time was one

Movies I Watched for the First Time in 2018

I watched more movies in 2018 than I did the last 10 years combined. I'm just not a movie guy really. Atleast I wasn't. I just tend to get distracted after a while and want to do something else. So I prefer TV shows because they&

Game Beaten: Super Metroid (SNES)

Ah, yet another game to check off of my "games I need to beat before I die"-list. It was a breeze once I wanted to play it and found a good guide: Super Metroid 100% walkthrough under 3 hours with no walljumping. I have saved it offline

Game Beaten: Tetris Effect (PS4)

It's an annoying version of Tetris that is optimized for OLED TVs.Really nothing special at all. I prefer NES Tetris any day.

Seinfeld - Original vs Widescreen Aspect Ratios

Should you watch Seinfeld in the original aspect ratio (4:3) or the newer widescreen (16:9) format? That is a hard question. On one hand, the 4:3 aspect ratio is the way the show was originally intended to be shown, on a square CRT "tube" TV.

Jurassic Park (1993) in 4K Video Quality

I watched Jurassic Park(1993) for the first time today. I watched the 4K Blu-Ray of it on my nice LG OLED TV. For the most part it looked pretty good: But then, during some scenes, usually the ones with special effects, looked pretty terrible, and really stuck out to

iPhone X - One Year Later Review

I said a year ago that I was gonna do a more in-depth review after I had the phone for a while. Well, a year is quite a while so lets go. And well, its a good phone. I am very happy with it. Its so good that the new

If It Ain't Broke Don't Fix It

I started dabbling with Jekyll today and was starting to consider replacing my own trusty lambblog with it, but in the end I decided not to. While it would be nice to use something that other people use, that has tons of documentation and plugins, I don't really

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
