RIP Mike Hitchen

Category: Music

As some of you may know I have been playing in The Drowning for the last 2 years. In that time, Mike had become a good friend, with his love of Beer, horror movies, curries, cats, and most importantly, The Riff. Please, play some of his music, and remember him as fondly as we do. I wish I had known him longer, I'm glad I did at all. Original Post Nov 22nd 2024 » Continue Reading

So this week has been stressful...

Category: Blogging

This last week has been absolutely nuts for me. I got an email through from my estate agents letting me know that my rent is going up by £75pcm... 3 times what it normally increases by, and 33% more than the last 2 years.  I sat there trying to work out how I was going to be able to afford this, when my electricity bill is also increasing, and my water bill. But not my wages, or my wifes incapacit... » Continue Reading

CBT

Category: Automotive

I now have my CBT :) It went surprisingly well all things considered. I kinda freaked out a little during the initial training grounds segment and had difficulties with target fixation (fixating on the obstacle instead of looking past it), and I still have some slight clutch control issues. But according to my instructor that was perfectly normal for someone who was that new to a motorbike. After ... » Continue Reading

You can easily return to the past, but no one is there anymore...

Category: Life

"You can easily return to the past, but no one is there anymore." ~ Unknown I love this quote as it ties together nostalgia and the desire to return to what was once a glorious time of wonder and discovery, as well as the liminal spaces and feeling of transience.  It's become a new motivating force in me to start pushing forwards again with li » Continue Reading

The Great Disconnect

Category: Web, HTML, Tech

I keep seeing people post questions asking if AI is going to destroy humanity. I don't think so personally. I think it will lead up to a great migration away from the online space due to the absurd number of bots littering the internet right now.  The dead internet theory as per wikipedia states that: "The dead Internet theory is an online conspiracy theory that asserts that the Internet now cons » Continue Reading

FML, and Fuck dealing with HMRC

Category: Life

I have been having issues with my household's Universal credit claim for the last 2+ months, just trying to get the help we are entitled to. I still work a nearly 50 hour week, while my wife has been made redundant due to health concerns. We have fixed issues caused by UC botching our details repeatedly, a » Continue Reading

For my Friend

Category: Life

Recently I was informed that a friend of mine from Edinburgh had passed away. he had been ill for the entire time I knew him. Over 10 years at this point. And it was a miracle that he had held out for as long as he did. The only positive about his passing is that he is no longer in pain. I hadn't heard fro » Continue Reading

If Ubisoft gets their way, I fear for gaming

Category: Games

"Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need To Get Comfortable With "Not Owning Your Games" Me: Well that exec can "Get comfortable" with gamers not buying their games. This kind of anti-consumer shit is why piracy is on the rise, and some of the most successful indie studios right now have DRM free options, physical editions, and consumer friendly practices. » Continue Reading

Emulators?

Category: Games

What are your views on emulators? I know there are some pretty consistent attacks against emulation from companies out there and even questions of their legality circulating the media. Even Nintendo making it increasingly more difficult to be able to legally obtain the bios data for the Switch just to prevent "Piracy". » Continue Reading

Random thought at 3am

Category: Dreams and the Supernatural

Random 3am thought. What would you do with Immortality? I would live kind of as I currently do, developing skills and refining the skills I do have. I'd have all the time in the world so there would be no » Continue Reading

Life's been interesting

Category: Blogging

So over the last week I've been quite sick with some post flight lurgy mixed with an ear infection that migrated to my chest.  I'm over the worst of it now, but for about a day I couldn't even stand under my own strength. » Continue Reading

Why do Open worlds kinda suck now?

Category: Games

The open world game is a bit of an interesting batch, even if most of the actual games are as interesting as watching a gelatinous blob simmer in the summer heat. Most of them these days follow the Ubisoft method of creating a large detailed world and then just try to fill it with as much busy work as humanly possible. Basic things like 4 reskinned collectables, time attack races, some scattershot... » Continue Reading
