Wrote a review for Atomic Heart. TL, DR: it's a decent enough BioShock clone right down to the story beats. Seriously edgelord writing/inconsistent voice acting and bad (imo) melee combat weigh it down. Worth a look if you have Game Pass, wait for at least 50% off sales anywhere else. #Gaming #CoSoGaming #VideoGames #SeriesX #GamePass

Well I'd say this is a pretty good sign. Beans (left) got up there after Lilly (right) had been there a while, and there was no angst, just laid down like that next to her. #cats #CatsOfCoSo

@Redskye572 So far it's just been some growling and hissing. They are almost never without human observation and I'm willing to take damage to break up a fight if need be. We have just enough space in our RV they can all pick a spot to be left alone. And we have a cat play pen outside that can be used as a timeout spot if Beans (the brother) gets too feisty. Luckily he's the only one really, the other 2 are way cooler. One of em is a little hissy but not aggressively.

The #cats are tense today. Lilly, the girl we found a home for in Jan, had to come back as the kid we gave her to moved to a new place with dogs. She and the dogs did not get along. Her 2 slightly older cousins (girls) are doing ok with her return, her litter brother is very much not, and it's affecting all of em. Wouldn't think a few months would be enough for them to forget 4 years together but yep. Been a lot of hissing and growling from him. No fights yet, hopefully won't be but we'll see.

I'm enjoying BioShockski, I mean Atomic Heart well enough. The dude and his glove, as well as the upgrade kiosk are all still grating. There's some decent game here, it's just buried under some cringe inducing immature edgelord writing that is marginally better than a Duke Nukem game. If you can look past that shit, (a stiff ask for me, heh) then yeah most of the game mechanics are pretty solid besides the melee. No target lock makes old man cranky. #Gaming #CoSoGaming #VideoGames #SeriesX

The Xbox One lives on.

This cubby gets quite warm after a couple hours of gaming (Atomic Heart atm) so I rigged this up. That's the fan from my Xbone 🤣 Figured out which were the power wires and then wired up a male plug end to an old Class 2 variable transformer capable of 2-12v output (which gives me speed control). Wired the female end to the fan and incorporated that possibly older than me switch on the left there. Looks jank asf I know, but it's effective. Cubby stays cool now lol. #DIY

"New" Series X been on for about 7 hours now. Haven't seen anything strange at all. No screen flickers, no sudden shutdowns, nothing. Played The Show '23 for about an hour and yeah I am still used to the Xbone lol. Series is def snappy as fuck. I think I can cautiously say I got a hell of a deal on what seems to be an essentially new system that has a dent in it. Time to catch up on some games I been wanting to play. Think I'll start with Atomic Heart. #CoSoGaming #Gaming #SeriesX #VideoGames

The "new" Series X showed up just after 1230pm today. Paused the task I was occupied with and opened up the box to check out the console. It was packaged well; good thing cause one corner of the box was crushed in a bit. Brought it inside and hooked it up/powered it on. Synced the controller and updated, logged in. Then I left it to sit and finished my task. Came back in, console still on and seems fine. Now I'm filling it with games. #CoSoGaming #Gaming #GamePass #SeriesX #VideoGames #LetsGoooo

@Sekhapada I'm currently DLing just a mess of games to my "new" Series X. 😀

@Sekhapada I still have a 360, heh. I have most of my old consoles from NES to last gen. Xbone ghosted on me so I figured it was time to try and find a deal on a Series X. I'm hoping the one I found really is "fully functional" as the seller said. They a decade old acct with 40k sales and a 99% positive rating or I wouldn't have taken the chance on a box with a rather noticeable dent in it, lol. Looks like I'll find out tomorrow. Long as it works, fuck dents. I'll get a new case eventually.

Fucking finally. Been refreshing the FedEx tracking page from time to time the last couple days wondering just where the fuck the Series X I bought off eBay was. They had told me it was going to be here early on Friday. I knew that was bullshit cause there was no arrival scan for here yet. It's been stuck "in transit from CT" since Tuesday. Half hour ago it finally updated with an arrival scan and is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, noon to 4pm. Whew. #CoSoGaming #Gaming #VideoGames #SeriesX

@poemblaze I'm getting there. I've run Mint for about a decade now. I was thinking about moving to Arch/Arch based but not like this, lol. I like to window shop, test things out, not "oh hell I need to install something right now because everything just broke as hard as it possibly could".

So far I'm liking the Arch tho. It's making me scratch my head a lot, but I've always been good at figuring things out/finding answers online, so it's coming along decently.

@Vikky lol, one never knows what is possible until they try, I suppose.

@poemblaze Garuda, Arch based Linux. I was running Mint before. Still not sure what happened to that, I rebooted yesterday and it went into a fatal error boot loop, failed to show proper splash screen and never made it to login screen. Pretty much unresponsive, even recovery mode did the same thing.

Well, that was educafrustrational. Been fucking with Firefox on the new OS all day, trying to bring over my settings from the borked OS drive. (yeah I hate Sync.) At one point I figured out how to bring over my most recent bookmarks, was still trying to get the tabs to come back. Did some tinkering, and broke the FF profile. Fixed that and moved files over again, and upon launch.. huzzah! all tabs populated, bookmarks, extensions.. whew. Learning is fun! *drops bowling ball on crotch*

Spent today fucking with my PC after Mint borked this morning following a reboot. Not sure what happened, failed to display the splash or login screen. I been meaning to check out an Arch based OS, sucks it has to be like this. Tried out a Live USB of CachyOS and it seemed ok, but it failed to install like 6 times. So I gave up on it and tried Garuda. That installed first try, huzzah. It's late, so not much time to check it out. Updated, installed VLC, got my MST3K going for sleepy time. #Linux
