Carrie Fisher Died

News just broke and for some reason I am very bummed about it. A couple of days ago, when she had a heart attack and was later reported to be "stable" I tweeted out a genuine phew. I don't know why I care really. I didn&

I Finally Have It

Merry Christmas everyone who celebrates it today (the 24th.) I got my own gift, from myself, today and I am very happy that I finally have one. A 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro. This is a computer that I've been looking at for year, but never being practical for

Personal Notes on Friends & All of its Episodes

This right here should be the craziest post on this blog. Ever. I can't think of anything that could top it. I am gonna talk about Friends, the 1994 TV show. I know I have already talked a lot about it. On my blog there have been several

What do I do now?

I just finished rewatching Friends. Again. For like the 4th time. And there's always this post-series depression I get: what the hell do I do now? For weeks now I've just been able to turn on the TV and immediately know what I'm gonna

Streaming with OBS and Elgato HD60 S from macOS without Window Capturing

Update 14 Jun 2017: I've had alot of issues with this method so just don't do it. If you have a Avermedia capture card though, I might recommend doing this: 720p60 streaming with AverMedia Capture Card and OBS Studio on Mac Post updated Dec 24th: update

Late Nights and Sitcom Intro's

You're tired. You wanna sleep. But you wanna watch some sitcoms before you do to completely dumb down your brain. Here are the best sitcoms, rated entirely by their intro. Keep in mind that I haven't seen every sitcom in the world so I haven'

original title was review but i realized i have way more thoughts about this game that i need to write down for a review I played it for an hour, just rushing through the levels (Tour mode or whatever it's officially called), like I always do with Mario

My Top 5 Game Consoles

With the Nintendo Switch coming out, and me being mostly a console gamer nowadays, I started thinking about my Top 5 Game Consoles, and what makes them that. I quickly came to a conclusion: I have to make two separate Top 5 lists. Top 5 Consoles for a Deserted Island

Season 7, Episode 13

* In retrospect I kinda wish I would've gotten a jet black model instead of the regular black, just because I would like to see how scratched it would end up looking like after being at work with me. On the other hand, I don't need more

The New Plex Server

Sorry, this is kind of a lame post, but I feel like writing something because I'm kinda bored this weekend. I didn't get my iPhone 7 so I can't play with that, and I can't figure out a good place to put

NESRGB

Cheap RGB Cable vs More Expensive RGB Cable

Linked Post Again, so I remember where I put it.Trying to motivate myself to buy another expensive one. I have one for my N64 but I want another one so I don't have to swap with the SNES. I would buy from http://retrogamingcables.co.uk/ (not

SC-512 Input Delay: Part 2

I decided to measure input delay again. This time I could use my Scart Splitter without the Sync Strike complaining (I had to use the external PSU for it) and then I could just take my iPhone's 240 fps camera and record both screens and then just take

Genesis Composite/Svideo/RGB Comparison

Linked Post Posting here so I remember where I put it.

Preliminary SC-512 Input Lag Testing

Before we begin, the capture card I have is the Startech PEXHDCAP60L, but I call it SC-512, as that is shorter and sweeter and it is the same card as the Micomsoft SC-512, but without HDMI passthrough. This is the first blog post regarding the SC-512. This is a capture

Everdrive 64 and Speedrunning

I did some timing and framecounts to see how much slower/faster using an Everdrive 64 (v3) compared to real cartridge is when speedrunning. The Everdrive 64 is different from the other Everdrives in that it cannot reset to game, it only resets to menu. I'm not sure

Post from Windows 3.1

Today, 10 years ago, I started speedrunning

10 years ago, I decided to join the SDA (SpeedDemosArchive) forums. I like to see this as when I started speedrunning. I was 10 years old at the time, and I thought I would tell you some stories about it and my thoughts on speedrunning now. Before we can get

Why I love Plex, and where it could improve

Today Plex released version 1.0.0.2261, the first 1.0, of their Server application, and I thought I would celebrate them. The reasons I use Plex instead of say, Kodi, are very simple: * Only one place I need to manage metadata * If I setup another device to view

Plex Media Server & Syncing

Ever synced something to your iPad or iPhone using Plex? Have you ever wondered where these temporary files are stored on your Plex Server, and how big the file sizes are and what bitrate they have?Well I was wondering that. Plex has an support article which tells you why

Offline TV Shows

After yesterdays power out I realized I need to store some TV shows on my iPad or iPhone so that I can watch shows even when power is out. Which TV shows would it be? Well that's an entirely different question, but for the time being I would

Quick, first impressions on iPhone SE

* I've only had it for like 4 hours so far * It's still an iPhone. * It got really damn hot while restoring all apps and data * Speed difference isn't that great compared to my 6+. iOS animations are still slow. Spotlight searching is a lot
