NMS has gotten increasingly unstable. I had to try three times to load my game. It crashed a few hours in.

 
 

Machine learning to explain why he became fat, which promoted him to start eating more fat to lose weight. Amazing: https://github.com/arielf/weight-loss/blob/master/README.md

 
 

I've been having good times playing the Portal 2 co-op maps with Avtrspirit. I'd say the co-op puzzles are actually more cleverly designed than the single-player story. Also, don't tell him I said this, but I think GLadOS likes me best.

 
 

Thank you for all the comments on the NMS article! I've been afk helping my aunt today, want to catch up on some replies.

 
 

This is a short guide I made on how to get an Assault Rifle in Sleeping Dogs. It might be an old game, but I know a lot of people are still having trouble with getting weapons. In this video I show some useful tips and tricks. I hope you find it useful!



 
 

I've learned 3 alien words in NMS. GIVE, HIGHER and DOCKING. Yes. Docking. I'm now ready to begin TRUE space exploration. I am become J.T. Kirk itself.

 
 

Found this beautiful ocean planet with grass and trees and sporadic rain storms. Loving just cruising through the storms, closing my eyes and listening to the rain smashing against the windows <3

 
 

So i was about to make a post announcing the death of my ps3. I got it the week the ps3 was released so it's quite old by now and when I tried to turn it on it wouldn't so i changed it's plug and it still wouldn't work. I tried one more time and it worked

 
 

Sometimes Dota 2 is just the most ridiculous fun. Spend 35+ minutes getting absolutely battered, been out-farmed all game and it all turns on one fight. Their end game disconnects were so deliciously satisfying.

 
 

Been Playing the newest update to Goldeneye Source. its pretty amazing and the game is far better than i remember it. I just dont remember the damage model back in 96 being as bad as it was. shot in the face by NOT a cougar magnum? No problem! ;)

I used to think that the 360 and Xbone controllers are the be all end all best of the best, but after spending quite some time with my Wavebird after so many years... I think it's a tie. I really missed the GameCube controller :')


 
 

hey dtoiders! its cool to add me on psn but like... lets play stuff and talk and not just simply exist on each other's friends list!


 
 

I just mashed the post button without thinking and I'm suddenly regretful I double posted.

 
 

I just realized that Warhammer: Vermintide is still receiving decent updates and I'm suddenly regretful I never played it longer than a few hours.

 
 

Welp, by this time next week I will be located in my new apartment and hopefully have most of what I need. Hotel's goodbye-apartment living, hello.

 
 

This 3v3 Battlefield match is like something out of Catch-22. By time we've hauled ass over to one side of this massive map, the point on the other side is recaptured. And we just repeat. And repeat.

 
 

Was invited to a "barbecue" in Long Island today. Turns out we're not barbecuing, or grilling, but we will be eating pasta outside, in 95 degree heat.


 
 

Maybe, just maybe I'll play something other than NMS tonight. Possibly headlander. Or Overwatch. But I'll probably just play NMS again
