  • Oh no, my PKCell!

    Kent Survival is another relaxing, casual camping channel. Not quite like Steve.

    Budget Builds kind of inspired me to fix up this Dell Precision 690 I rescued from the trash.

    Polymatt’s video on LGR’s laptop was positively incredible. So good. So impressive.

    Ever watch Brick Immortar? Mostly maritime tragedies, and much more dry than plainly difficult. But I kind of feel they are in the same sphere. I fall asleep to them sometimes.

    Man, Usagi Electric’s homebrew project is insane.

    I could go on and on. So few people I know are interested in this stuff.

    Big Old Boats? Hyce? How about Atomic Shrimp? I’m interested in other channels we might share.




  • Battlezone II had force shields. They used your vehicle’s weapon energy. The shields used energy, and also taking hits would drain your energy. You needed a ship with fast energy regen to make the most use out of them. One ship from the X-Mod mod, the Jade Falcon, could actually regenerate faster than the shields drained. So you could keep them on all the time, and still shoot some. It wasn’t invincible by any means, but that regen speed plus the fact that the radar ping twice as frequently made it my absolute favorite ship.

    I woke up one day, and copilot had been installed on my PC overnight. I didn’t like that lack of control. This was, coincidentally, a weekend that my wife, kid, and dog were all gone. Since I knew Win10 only had a year left, and I had the time, I figured it was as good a time as any.

    I downloaded Fedora and Kubuntu. Spent a bit of time with each, and went with Kubuntu. For a few days. It had issues waking from sleep, and I had to do some kind of tweaking with every one of my games to get them to work.

    I don’t mind tinkering with stuff, but i just don’t have the time to make my computer my hobby. So, I switched to Mint. Everything just works. So, I put it on everything else. I guess the one time I really had to dig into terminal stuff was getting a wifi driver for my living room PC off git. Other than that, super easy.

    Now, I’m coming up on a year of Mint. Couldn’t be happier.
