So I've had this thing for over a week now. My entire point of this whole thing was to be a fitness trojan horse. My brain is incredibly stupid and isn't motivated by such meaningless things like "Fitness", or "Health". Why would I ever take care of myself when I can spend all day, every day, lounging around drinking soda and mindlessly scrolling through Youtube and social media? No no, I need som... » Continue Reading
So I decided to grab myself Wii Fit Plus. I thought it would be fun, relive a bit of my childhood, maybe use it to help me get a routine going, all that fun stuff. Day one went mostly fine, with one slight issue cropping up. I gave it all my details, my height, my date of birth, let it take my measurements and weigh me, all is good. And then it just point blank tells me I'm obese, and that my over... » Continue Reading
I have finally, after all these years, beat the entirety of Super Mario Galaxy. All 121 stars as both Mario and Luigi. Mario Galaxy has always been one of my alltime favourite games. The atmosphere, the music, the gameplay, all of it was fantastic. Cosmic Luigi was a little bitch though lol. Finally, I can put this old favourite of mine to rest. Now to finish Galaxy 2 » Continue Reading
Not gonna lie, I know jack shit about this whole thing. All I know is that old computers make cool beep boop sounds and it is jamming. I've had a bit of an interest in things like chiptune, though I've never really dug into it. Just kinda listened to some of those compilation videos. This is sort of the same way, a few of these tracker compilations popping up in my recommended. Next thing I know, ... » Continue Reading
So I've been using Linux as my main system for a while. Works good, I can do work, I can play games, I can watch videos, all that fun stuff. One this remains annoyingly difficult, however: VR VR is one of the things keeping me tethered to Windows. Most of the games I play, Pistol Whip, Rez Infinite, Beat Saber, they all work, albiet with some minimal issues. One game, however, ChilloutVR, just doe... » Continue Reading
It's been a long while since I've thought about this machine. Decided to take another crack at fixing it up. I've been itching to play some of my old childhood games again. Bejeweled 2, Zuma, Luxor, Tumble Bugs, all the good stuff. Sure, I could play them on modern hardware, but that always presents some issues. Most of these games do NOT play nice on modern OSes, even through Steam. On Windows, m... » Continue Reading
Had fifty bucks laying around, thought I'd nab myself a game, and Outlast was my choice. One of the few games that actually slows me down, not from difficulty, but from fear. The only other game I recall doing that was Deadspace. Even worse is that I remember watching a playthrough of it, but that was a decade ago, so I remember very little of it. Just enough to know v » Continue Reading
I've been getting a few friend requests from some rather young people. I have stated on my profile that I do not accept friend requests from minors, but that doesn't seem to be much of a deterrent. It's nothing personal, and I don't doubt that you're a nice person. I'd just rather be friends with people closer to my age. » Continue Reading
The game croaks when there's literally any action going on. One single explosion and it drops to like, 5 frames. Literally anytime the physics are pushed just a little it freaks out. Bop one explosive barrel with a couple objects next to it? Say goodbye to your frames. Helicopter? Goodbye frames. Those stupid little picture drones crashing and burning? Enjoy playing Slideshow Simulator. Even just ... » Continue Reading
Got my Original Xbox set up once more, it's time to live a childhood I've never experienced. Never been that big into shooters, but I feel like this would be a good place as any to start getting more familiar with the genre. Ignoring Doom 2016. Good shit, but my god Also, holy shit, there's a new Xbox Live original replacement on the horizon. Those guys working on this Project Insignia thing are a... » Continue Reading
So my main laptop is an Alienware M14X, released in 2012. Yeah, it's old, but it's plenty powerful. Equipped with an Intel i7-2670QM CPU, an Nvidia Geforce GT555M GPU, 16 gigs of RAM and a 1 terabyte SSD, It can handle some light gaming and office tasks. Does Blender halfway decently as well, though I've never pushed it to its absolute limit in that regard. I can also tolerate a lot of compromise,... » Continue Reading
