Posted on November 23, 2024 by baudattitude

It’s been 90 days since the launch of the most recent World of Warcraft Expansion, “The War Within”.  I thought I’d talk about it. While I’ve technically – TECHNICALLY – been playing WoW since very shortly after the launch back … Continue reading →

This is the sort of thing you do for fun?

Posted on November 13, 2024 by baudattitude

So, I’m fortunate enough to be married to a colossal nerd.  While we aren’t 100% into the same things, there’s definitely a crossover between our respective interests, and it means we can understand each other even in the instances where … Continue reading →

Nerd Purge 2024

Posted on November 10, 2024 by baudattitude

It’s been a year.  But not all in a bad way! I was laid off at the end of September… but it was the kind of layoff where you get a huge severance package and where “getting back to work” … Continue reading →

Sofa: So good.

Posted on August 15, 2024 by baudattitude

For a while now, my wife has been suggesting I try out an app called Sofa, which is a …collection management app? Maybe that’s not the right term.  The author calls it a “downtime organizer”, and it’s a tool to … Continue reading →

Posted on August 15, 2024 by baudattitude

It’s been a while since I had to face off against my favorite nemesis – the MKV file. Specifically, the sort of MKV files that come out of well-intentioned anime distributors and that make my life hard when what I … Continue reading →

I played some more Fire Emblem

Posted on August 14, 2024 by baudattitude
