  • new year same shit

    i continue to cutover everything to a flavor of linux. m$lop can kick rocks from here on out. goodbye and good riddance.

    made some terrible mistakes during an upgrade path on the wow server. completely obliterated it, then restored it. lessons learned. will share them sometime.

    made old eqemu windows instance sleepy. snapped its neck and brought it back on not windows. it’s very happy.

    identified some stuff regarding archive extraction on linux. i’m still trying to figure out exactly what i discovered, but it seems that “7z e ./*zip” or even using ARK and “extract to…” doesn’t always seem to completely extract everything depending on the archive size. not sure exactly, but will continue to explore. i ended up solving the issue using peaZip.

    been learning and spinning up more old games, and modded games. project d2 and d2ri working smoothly.

    turtle wow is dope. no rest for the wicked getting some time too. a bit of nwn:ee as well. small sessions, but sessions nonetheless. i’ll take what i can get.

    finally purchased some lora stuff. will update on those projects when they bubble up from the ooze of creation.

    govt still sucks. fuck the police. hang ice. 100% for violence against nazis.

  • distro hop – omarchy

    author has a hard-on for g$.

    that’s gonna be a no for me dawg.

    interesting concept aside from that

    2.5/5

  • distro hop – popOS 24.04 cosmic

    3.5 / 5

    good first draft.

    lacks detail for anyone remotely wanting basic information from their OS

    file manager kind of dogshit.

    tiling kind of dogshit on lower resolutions. font adjustment not automatic.

    will keep an eye on the progress.

  • spooky season wrap up

    its been about a month since I cutover to linux permanently. So far I have zero intent on coming back to windows full time. I’ve decided on spinning up a minimal single drive with windows 10 on it for limited required gaming stuff, like bf6… otherwise full steam ahead on the penguin front.

    has yet to go back to windows

    Been working a lot on custom emulation projects. Building retro consoles of the sorts.

    also been working on several private server customizations. Thats got me learning everything from lua, sql, python, c# and c++.

    finalizing post, 12/11/25

    fulltime linux. i don’t use arch. i’m happy on nobara for gaming, and have distro hopped a few times on my laptop for production. i’ve settled on fedora, but have used mint (for years actually), tried popOS with Cosmic, and omarchy.

    i’ve been in the process of deM$ing all my devices. redid my retro emubox to use linux as well.

    deG$, deM$, cut all the cords, f the subscriptions, hack the planet amirite?

    whatever, the internet is dogshit right now man. the moment anything touches the public internet – every bottom-feeding botnet, scanner, and script-kiddie needle dick basement dweller swarms it like it’s free greasy pizza. can’t have anything nice anymore.

    it’s december now. imma go ahead and publish this and finish some drafts i’ve sitting in queue.

  • thoughts – dos, surprisingly not sour

    Lots of drafts in the works. I can’t keep fighting casing. If it’s lower or upper it’ll just be what it is. Mobile tends to automatically fix it. Laptop doesn’t care. I guess that’ll give it away as to where I was when I did a thing.

    soon.

  • thoughts – poe2 0.3 rise of the abyssal league

    • exhausting
    • combo combat still feels rewarding when playing smart
    • as a mana user, the amount of mana drain rares i’ve come across is ridiculous. not fun.
    • the amount of difficult rares is like a mini boss battle every 5 mins. not fun.
    • i cannot grind out ahead of an area as everything levels with me, so everything is always hard. need to double check if this is true, seems that way. exhausting.
    • abyss is a clusterfuck. the amount of things going on make it difficult to see cheap one shot mechanic mobs. not fun.
    • ascendancy still locked behind wack af mechanics like ultimatum, not fun.
    • biggest gripe – you introduced a trade limiting mechanic. everyone who no lifes the game is through act 4. anyone who has yet to reach act 4 cannot use trade as the majority of items require direct purchase teleport via new mechanic. anyone who direct message sells is unlikely to respond. you just broke trade and i have to ssf the majority of the game.
    • EXHAUSTING.

    thoughts – uno 最初の物語

    i don’t know if i’ll keep up with this. i don’t keep up with a lot of things. i’m pretty spread thin. but take it one day at a time. you put out what you put out. this is the intro. keep things siloed to their respective buckets. vomit done.
