Downloading My GOG Library the Easy Way

With all of the recent controversy about games getting censored for content, not necessarily against the law, but that other private companies have decided is "questionable", I decided it might be a good idea to backup all of my Good Old Games (GOG) titles. Especially since I now have my new 10TB drive to dump them on. Because of course, GOG sells it's games without DRM. I started to do this manually, but it's incredibly tedious. Surely someone has a script, and sure enough, they have (Link). It works well enough. It's a single file, which is nice. It needed…

Mission Accomplished-ish

For various search purposes, this is my experience trying to replace the Window Regulator and motor on a 2015 Chevy Sonic. Maybe, a month or two ago, my passenger side car window started having issues rolling up and down. It usually would be that the driver's side controls would not work, so. I would lean over and hit the passenger side controls. It gotten worse a couple of weeks ago. It rolled down for the drive to work, it would not roll up again using any buttons. I went about searching online for a solution, and found that the most…

Weekly Wrap Up (2025.08.02)

I didn't post last week, and almost didn't this week, it's been a bit of a slow non eventful couple of weeks. Nothing really new going on at all. But it's Blaugust, so I should post, because it's kind of "easy filler". Life Eat, Sleep, Work, Repeat, Eat, Sleep, Work, Repeat, Eat, Sleep, Work, Repeat… Not quite as fun as raving I suppose. I've had a bit of interesting excitement going on at work that I really probably can't really discuss, so that's fun. Not much exciting honestly. I finally got around to putting up actual netting around the little…

Welcome to Blaugust 2025 – Introduction

Welcome to Blaugust, and the day one post here for the event. If you know me, then this whole post will just feel like a redundant sort of trip down memory lane. But that's what I do I guess. Wax nostalgia at things of the past. Maybe? I really don't know anymore. I just kind of, write what comes to mind. Nostalgia is such a vicious creature, another way to say that you fear the future.-- Work of Fiction by Lauren Mayberry I just love that quote from that song. Anyway, I don't have a plan, I rarely do anymore,…

Blaugust 2025

Despite that I can barely keep myself motivated to post even weekly, I went ahead end signed up again for Blaugust. I did it the first year on [BloggingIntensifies] and last year on Lameazoid, and now they are one blog, so technically I did it twice here, and this will be my third year. I'm not going in with any plans. I may post once per week. Even doing some of the suggested topics feels a little cheesy because I've already done the basic "Who am I, what is Blaugust," etc topics two years now. Maybe it could motivate me…
