Google Stadia was announced yesterday and I'm quite intrigued by it. Yes, there have been similar services before it. Such as OnLive, and they never went anywhere.But since it's Google, I could see it going places. Unless they shut it down randomly, as they do

SimCity (NES) - All 1000 Maps!

I remember seeing sometime ago a website where all the SimCity for SNES maps were documented, so I decided to make the same thing but for the recently resurfaced NES version. I don't care if anyone else already did this, I wanna do this for fun. How did

I Switched To Android

Well, never say never folks. It happened. I switched from my beloved iOS to Android. I switched from a iPhone X to a OnePlus 6T. I went from being a pretty hardcore Apple fanatic, to pretty much not caring about them at all. Why? Well, I don't really

Migrating out of iCloud (2019)

There is a very slight possibility that I might be trying out an Android phone soon, so I wanted to move my stuff out of iCloud. I figured it's easy to use iOS with Google stuff, but it's hard to use Android with iCloud stuff.This

No More Ultrawide

Oh boy, time to go back and critique myself: Going Ultrawide. Not even a year ago, I ordered a Ultrawide monitor and brought up some arguments for why I thought it was a good idea. After that monitor, I also got a Acer X34P, which at the time was one

Movies I Watched for the First Time in 2018

I watched more movies in 2018 than I did the last 10 years combined. I'm just not a movie guy really. Atleast I wasn't. I just tend to get distracted after a while and want to do something else. So I prefer TV shows because they&

Game Beaten: Super Metroid (SNES)

Ah, yet another game to check off of my "games I need to beat before I die"-list. It was a breeze once I wanted to play it and found a good guide: Super Metroid 100% walkthrough under 3 hours with no walljumping. I have saved it offline

Game Beaten: Tetris Effect (PS4)

Seinfeld - Original vs Widescreen Aspect Ratios

Should you watch Seinfeld in 4:3 or 16:9? This was more of a tough choice in 2018, but now there is a 4K Bluray in 4:3, so you should just watch that.

Jurassic Park (1993) in 4K Video Quality

I watched Jurassic Park(1993) for the first time today. I watched the 4K Blu-Ray of it on my nice LG OLED TV. For the most part it looked pretty good: But then, during some scenes, usually the ones with special effects, looked pretty terrible, and really stuck out to

If It Ain't Broke Don't Fix It

I started dabbling with Jekyll today and was starting to consider replacing my own trusty lambblog with it, but in the end I decided not to. While it would be nice to use something that other people use, that has tons of documentation and plugins, I don't really

My First Mac 2012-2018

Well, something really unexpected happened: My mid-2011 Mac Mini died. Outta nowhere. It was just sitting there, running Pi-hole inside a VMWare VM. And all of a sudden I noticed the internet wasnt working on anything. So I went to check the router and eventually I realized the power light

RDR2: My Final Decision

Ive given it some more time and now I think I can give my final verdict. Red Dead Redemption 2 is not my Game of the Year. I really like RDR 2, and its absolutely amazing what Rockstar has managed from all aspects: technically, story, details, audio, animals, characters... just

More on RDR2 (Spoilers !!!)

If you don't wanna get spoiled leave now. Heavy spoilers will follow. I have a problem with RDR2, more specifically how the story played out. I feel betrayed and struggle with playing it after beating the game. Picture this: You are Arthur Morgan. A cowboy. You hang with

Game Beaten: Red Dead Redemption 2

Game Beaten: Marvel's Spider-Man (PS4)

What do I care about Spider-Man? Well, not much. I saw the 2002 movie when it was new (I was around 6) and thats pretty much it. I know hes a super hero, I know there are games (I played the 2002 game I think) and hes... known. So how

Going Ultrawide

I ordered a Dell U3417W today. A 34", Ultrawide 21:9, 3440x1440 IPS display. Notably it has no adaptive sync technology and only runs at 60 Hz. Now why did I do this? Well, frankly it was kind of impulsive. I even tried to go through my web browser

All MacBook Pro's Currently Suck

Yes, here's yet another person jumping on the hate train. This is not an original thought. I got a Macbook Pro again. A retina 13" from mid 2014. Yes, a 2014 machine in 2018. Why?Simple. All Macbook Pro's suck at the moment. Either way
