Game Beaten: Dark Souls III (PC)

I actually beat this 15 Apr 2017, but for some reason I forgot to write about it here. Better late than never. I generally liked it and had a lot of fun, but I still prefer Bloodborne. All the bosses were pretty easy as I recall, except the last two

Game Beaten: Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (PS4)

Pretty good, like a 8/10. Pretty short too, but I was kind of expecting that since it is more or less a DLC for Uncharted 4. Characters were good, I liked Chloe. Both spoke with an accent or lisp or something though which was kind of annoying, but it

Some Thoughts on Computer Monitors

* 24" is too small. 27" is good, but not great. * Windows is not ready for 4K/Retina/HiDPI. Mac definitively is (i.e. if you use a Mac, you should absolutely have a 4K/Retina monitor.) * 60 Hz vs 144 Hz is noticable, and if you play games

Gameboy Player without the Boot Disc (Gameboy Interface (GBI))

I finally got a GameCube again. And I decided to get a Gameboy Player with it. I've always wanted a Gameboy Player, but I was always discouraged by how expensive the boot discs were. (The Gameboy Player hardware itself is very easy to find and since the hardware

Raspberry Pi as Bluetooth Audio Receiver (A2DP Sink)

Prologue I got a car recently, and it does have Bluetooth... but only for phone calls (handsfree.)It doesn't do music over the Bluetooth connection. (2010 was a weird year) It does however, have a AUX IN, basically where you can plug in any 3.5mm audio source.

Every Default macOS Wallpaper in Glorious 5K Resolution

Linked Post I love Snow Leopard default wallpaper so I am happy to see this. I also have a soft spot for the Mountain Lion wallpaper as my first Mac had that wallpaper (yeah I was late to the party.) I also like the Mavericks wallpaper, because my first MacBook

15 Years Later, Here's Why A Gamer Was Duct-Taped To A Ceiling

Linked Post I cannot believe this image finally has a backstory. I cannot remember when I first saw it because it was a very, very long time ago. One nitpick though: I don't think that's a mechanical keyboard which Kotaku claims it is. They probably just

Does the Apple Magic Keyboard 2 work with a PC over USB?

Yes, it does. It also works over Bluetooth if you want. *Do I need Bluetooth? * No, you don't. Just connect it with a regular Lightning/USB cable. Does it work with Windows 101? Yes, it does. Plug n play. However, Media keys won't work and you

Bloomberg: iPhone 8 will replace Touch ID with 3D facial detection...

Linked Post I think the keyword here is testing. Notice that the title is iPhone 8 will replace Touch ID with face detection, and that the text itself says testing: Bloomberg reports that Apple is currently testing using 3D facial detection as a replacement for Touch ID fingerprint authentication. (I

Can we please talk about that horrid font used in the Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy?

Linked Post I didn't think much of it at first, but I agree completely. Even I, someone who is not a fan of Crash Bandicoot, knows the font. The Breath of the Wild example is good too. I still haven't gotten this trilogy in case you&

Removal of 3D Touch app switching gesture in iOS 11 confirmed as intentional change

Linked Post Well I'm glad I didn't get used to it. I have done it a couple of times but it always felt weird and sometimes something I didn't intend for happened. I'm interested why though. Maybe something to do with the

If Journalists Reviewed Macs like iPads

My Apple Pencil Review

There are two versions of this review: the original handwritten pdf (6.6 MB) or just scroll down to continue reading a version that I transcribed, so you don't have to deal with my handwriting. When the Apple Pencil was revealed, alot of people lost their minds. Alot

Starcraft Remastered Coming to Mac in August

Linked Post Relatively surprised by this actually, as Blizzard didn't make Overwatch for Mac. I thought they would be out of the Mac business, like most game developers should be. I plan on getting this game though. Will most likely play it in Windows though.

The Emoji for Linked Posts

Linked Post I have added linked posts functionality to lambblog again.Look out for this emoji: I decided to add the functionality again as most of these kind of blogs have the functionality, and I sometimes feel like I need to provide some commentary on some stuff I find online.

Publishing and Modifying This Blog from an iPad

I got the 10.5" iPad Pro recently. Since it is a "Pro" device, I decided to try doing some work on it and as it turns out I can actually edit and publish to my blog entirely from this iPad, and quite nicely I might add.

Game Beaten: The Legend of Zelda (NES)

Ah, another one of the list (several years ago I made a list where I put in a bunch of classic games that I wanted to beat before I die. This was one of them.) Why did I decide to spend this midsummer playing this game instead of doing something

Review of Katy Perry's Witness Album

Writing music reviews is probably a hole I shouldn't go down, but whatever. This entire past weekend, and the Friday before the weekend started, I put Witness on repeat and somehow managed to play 228 songs from it in the last 7 days as of the time writing

macOS: "The installation failed." error with .pkg files

(If you are just here for what fixed it for me, click here.) I randomly got this problem on my Hackintosh where the system was pretty unresponsive, more so than usual, and I couldn't install any software bundled in .pkg installers. Stuff like Logitech Options, Nvidia Web Drivers

Thoughts on what Apple showed at WWDC 2017

Haven't watched an Apple keynote in a while, so I decided to tune in to this one as my Twitter feed was going wild about it before it started. I don't remember the exact order and I didn't even care about all they talked

Essential Things to Do after Clean Windows Install

I finally reinstalled Windows today after I've been meaning to do it for months. I went with Windows 7 for fun. I have nothing against Windows 10, really, but I just wanted 7 for fun. A few hours later I installed Windows 10 instead. Anyway, I decided to

JSON Feed

I now have a JSON Feed available for my blog, available at https://lambdan.se/feed.json. Why? Mostly for fun. I really like it so far though, it was really simple and easy to do. I've had alot of issues with RSS where I would have to

Managing Plex and Subtitles, both burned-in and external

12" Macbook Review

First some quick bullets: * You can read my thoughts on the keyboard here: 12" Macbook Keyboard. Not much has changed since, except that I am more used to it now. I don't hate it. * If you have the lid closed, and you plug it in to charge,
