It’s been about a month since I posted about WoW’s latest expansion, Dragonflight, and at the time I was pretty positive about the whole thing.  I’m actually still quite positive about it!  It’s a little less metaphysical than the Shadowlands … Continue reading →

In which I shoot myself in the foot, and then fix it with a shell script.

Posted on December 14, 2022 by baudattitude

I don’t make a secret out of my long-running MMO habit, at least on this blog.  I tend not to mention it in polite circles, because an MMO habit is one step above admitting that you are a heroin enthusiast, … Continue reading →

It’s like poetry, it rhymes. A dose of online nostalgia.

Posted on November 20, 2022 by baudattitude

I’m FINALLY caught up to Genshin Impact

Posted on November 6, 2022 by baudattitude

I did some woodworking

Posted on October 29, 2022 by baudattitude

I recently discovered the joys of buying refurbished micro-format PCs, specifically a couple of HP EliteDesk 800 G3s. They’re basically the size of a Mac mini, easily able to run server versions of Windows (I’m using Server 2019 on both) … Continue reading →

All’s Well That (Endwalkers) Well?

Posted on September 23, 2022 by baudattitude

Finished up FFXIV’s Endwalker expansion today – just the main story, mind you, I haven’t gone in to any of the post-launch content or done any of the optional stuff like raiding. I’m not really feeling any great need to … Continue reading →

Grinds, silly:

Posted on September 11, 2022 by baudattitude

In which, I finally make some use of my “smart” TV.

Posted on September 6, 2022 by baudattitude
