    Comment by 'Uiaad' in 'Something a little different. ( Warning :contains snark and memes )'

    There were originally a lot more gifs but it completely destroyed readability and given that took me over 3 hours to type near the end I was in a lot of pain and forgot to change it. Another problem I have is that sometimes words can just completely vanish from my vocabulary hence the Danger...

    Something a little different. ( Warning :contains snark and memes )

    Sorry no, I'm still not dead post this month. All projects are currently on hold. Altho I have been working on a Mini-ITX motherboard for the Raspberry compute module 4 with onboard native NVME, 2 SATA ports, more 3.0 USB (8 in total), wifi, Bluetooth, standard power supply support, as well as...

    I'm still not dead - November & December '21 edition

    Yup, I'm still not dead, tho there have been times in that last month or so I wish I was haha. So what's the craic? Well to be honest I have spent the last month pretty much in bed. After getting my Covid booster, the following week I got collared for my flu shot too - Not saying that either...

    I'm still not dead - August '21 edition

    Ooo just look at me nearly missing the "still not dead " entry for August But yeah to be quite honest it's not been a good month. All the projects I have been working on have pretty much come to a halt due to one reason or another. Infact one has hit a roadblock for 2 reasons. The first is that...

    Tales of Arise - Final thoughts

    Tales of Arise is a good game... For the most part. Sadly the last third of the game comes across as rushed and uninspiring. If you haven't played Tales of Arise yet and plan to, stop reading here. Below this line altho I won't be going too far into specifics there will be talking about the...

    Thoughts on Tales of Arise so far

    So I've been a big fan of the Tales series for a long time now. I think I first played Tales of Destiny back in 2002 when I was living in California and that was the spark that grew to almost rival my love for Final Fantasy games. Off the top of my head, I can only think of 1 game in the whole...

    I'm still not dead - September '21 edition

    Ted being Ted So this weekend I've been sat here dealing with idiots on a penpal app ( I really don't know why I bother anymore - and the apocalypse for the app is coming - They are launching a Web-app version, they can't even get the fucking basics right let alone opening it to a deluge ...

    I'm still not dead - August '21 edition

    I seem to have a bit of a knack of starting these update blogs and getting distracted by something else and accidentally closing my browser window :/ This is about the 4th time I have attempted to write this very blog. So I'll start where I need to which is the beginning. I'm still not dead...

    Comment by 'Uiaad' in 'Had an idea for a rhythm game keyboard, would it even work?'

    Just want to say it's a good idea ... in theory. I don't want to be the one that pisses in your cornflakes but it doesn't sound like you have done a lot of electronics. Everyone has to start somewhere but you want to learn the basics before you tackle something like this. Arduinos (and...

    I personally think they should be tracked down and either shown the fizzy bottle trick or given the kitten torture

    Comment by 'Uiaad' in 'The Watch is bad (atleast for me)'

    @AmandaRose you mean you don't lick your remote to change the channel? They seem to have had a picked and choose approach. Part of it seems to follow threads from the books, like the book being stolen from the library in Guards, Guards or using Carcer as the villain of the piece but don't...

    Comment by 'Uiaad' in 'The Watch is bad (atleast for me)'

    Yeah this was the one I ended up leaning away from my original intention as they suddenly completely changed who Cheery was and in the show, they aren't a dwarf anymore and now just generic nonbinary but thought I would need to watch more of the show that I don't really want to watch because its...

    The Watch is bad (atleast for me)

    I really tried hard to want to like this and from its inception, it sounded right up my street. The original pitch was CSI Ankh-Morpork. GREAT sign me up. However, what we ended up with was something made by someone that had merely glanced at a Discworld novel through a bookstore window on a...

    Comment by 'Uiaad' in 'Gamer Pet Peeve: When RPGs make you lose a fight that you actually won.'

    In the original Tales of Destiny (PS1), you can actually end early if you beat the first encounter with Leon. Mind you, you have no chance if it's your first time playing through the game and hasn't spent a while grinding out what levels you can or you've used some GameShark/action replay codes...

    Comment by 'Uiaad' in 'Still not dead'

    I actually used to drink quite heavily in my early 20's I would always be that person who would annoy everyone else being fresh as a daisy the next morning. To be brutally honest the last time really drank to the level I could be considered drunk was about 10 years ago now. Nowadays with the...

    Still not dead

    So you may have noticed I haven't been around a whole lot lately. This is down to having one of my meds for my neck increased - Initially, it just makes you feel like a zombie and that has passed, but what I have at the moment is the constant feeling of having a bad hangover ( funny enough have...

    Comment by 'Uiaad' in 'Another blog about CDs'

    I have added it to the stuff I need to pick up next time I'm there. :) Speaking of bit rot and how bad CD/DVD's can get I actually have a couple of really bad examples that I uncovered a couple of weeks back. Bearing in mind that they have been sat on a spindle alongside other CD/DVD's for...

    Comment by 'Uiaad' in 'Another blog about CDs'

    This has always been the problem with DRM of any sort. It doesn't affect the pirates as they will find a way around it, It's the legitimate users that are impacted. Companies will cry "won't somebody please think of the profits" But all they have ended up doing is creating a consumer hostile...

    Comment by 'Uiaad' in 'Defective (more or less) on arrival'

    When I mod things I tend to mod them to the extreme had I been in the same situation I probably would have used a 18650, added a charging circuit and stepped down the voltage slightly and shouted " now dim you plastic bastard" or just had it powered via USB as I probably wouldn't have moved it...
