Sligo is a very cultural place, here I found an original Wanksy on a toilet door in Gracies.

FYI, Timesplitters 1,2 & Future Perfect are all dirt cheap on PSN right now.

I made an auditable laugh when I saw that score.

Got GTA San Andreas working under Proton v5.13. I cannot believe how easy this has made gaming on Linux. I'm still impressed.

Finally worked out the nvidia driver issue on Linux Mint, I installed Ubuntu instead :P
May 5, 2025 at 8:31 PM
Turns out the pain I was suffering with linux mint was predictably nvidia. Their display drivers somehow nuked my ability to connect online in any way. No ethernet, no WiFi, not even tethering. I am not reinstalling mint for a fourth time. Just going to grab arch and be done with it tomorrow.

Nuked Windows 10 from orbit. Clean install of Linux Mint. I'm pleasantly surprised how painless Steam is on Linux these days.

Looks like one of those "once in a lifetime events" is happening, again. I've lost count of these events at this stage.

There is a gang war currently happening on my roof between the seagulls and magpies. Money is on the corvids.

Got away with jury duty today, three juries called, three bullets dodged. Have to go back in Friday week for one more jury selection. Odds are in my favour.
March 26, 2025 at 8:20 PM
My jury summons is tomorrow. Should be a boring and dry affair just to be told at the end of the day "thank you for your time, you can go" after taking a days leave from work unpaid. That is the best case scenario, if selected it will really fuck up the next few weeks. The joys of civic duty.

Been listening to Better Offline for a while, it was the final straw and I finally nuked my Facebook account from orbit. Currently degoogleing my online life too. Thanks @edzitron.com, was the kick in the arse I needed.

Finally got rid of my FB account. Deactivated. Will have to keep messenger, unfortunately since half my family are too ingrained in Meta's ecosystem to migrate elsewhere. Also in the process of degoogleing myself. Have protonmsil setup. It's a long process.

Apparently, people are calling Conor McGregor "Andrew Tayto" now, which is frigging hilarious.

Starting to get more consistent wins now. #Balatro is starting to click. Had much better runs juicing up whatever hand the jokers dictate rather than trying to force a particular hand throughout the run.

Guess this is how crippling addictions start. #balatro

Was cleaning out my gmail inbox today. So much shit every single day by companies I might have bought something from 10 years ago. Honestly I might just setup a proton account and leave gmail as a dumping ground. Need an email? Here you go, its fucking radioactive anyway.

Finally in the process of deMETAing my life, Facebook and Messenger will be terminated as of next week.

(2/2) It's just kind of there. I am enjoying it a lot but I keep thinking about how the horror aspect just seems tacked on as an afterthought or just an excuse to put you in X environment to move the story along.

(1/2) F.E.A.R. is a strange game. Its a first person shooter with a Max Payne style slowdown mechanic, ostensibly a horror title, I say ostensibly as you as the player don't really interact with the horror aspects.

Kind of sad seeing the people who cared and nurtured us growing up being radicalised by AI slop now. Makes holidays even harder than they need to be.
