User Blogs

Because I have a lot of these, I didn't want to lump them in with my main blog on this game. But because there are a lot of them, I thought that it was worth posting my list.

Things that are still bad and/or stupid about No Man's Sky
Some of this could be fixed relatively easily, some not so much (technical or balancing issues)
I am removing things from this list if I discover they are false or outdated, help me out.
There be spoilers here.

Long long ago, in a more innocent time, an upcoming title called No Man's Sky was announced at the VGX awards. They promised the sun, moon, and stars, and ultimately at launch delivered only a small percentage of what they had assured fans would be in the game. Many users sought refunds in response, and the game's review scores suffered, resulting in languid sales given the hype surrounding the game pre-release.

I wrote previously about my PC which has changed one piece at a time over the years, but now I'm going to write about it again because it changed a bunch. I refer to it The Potato of Theseus for reasons discussed in the prior article which are fairly obvious if you're familiar with the concept.

At this point, everything but some of the storage devices is a relatively recent purchase, and the main storage is all brand new.

I have taken several attempts at writing a clear and concise guide to programming common radios with CHIRP. This is one of them. I am specifically writing to Baofeng UV-5R and friends, TIDRADIO TD-H8, and Yaesu FT-60 radios, and I am using Linux. These instructions will be somewhere close for most users, and I will include information for users of other platforms.

I thoroughly enjoyed the original game Subnautica, and have previously skipped the semi-sequel Subnautica: Below Zero (commonly and hence "BZ" when I feel like it) because of predominantly bad reviews from people who were disappointed that it wasn't more like the original. I'm happy to report that while their complaints are not unfounded, they don't make it not worth playing - and also that you can have a satisfying experience on Linux.
