Fortnite Daft Punk Experience

Fortnite is so hit and miss with its special music events, which is extremely annoying because when they are good, they are really good, when they are bad, they are, really really bad. Daft Punk, thankfully, lands into the good. Unlike some of the previous music experiences, this is a sort of lobby area, with a few branch off spaces and activities. The core map starts off similar to the older style, where you travel along a sort of, on rails experience, while music plays to the visuals. Its very very on rails, your character pretty much just, flies along…

Palia – Getting to Know the Locals

Now that I have a house going and some income as a farmer, the next big step in this new world is to get to know the locals. Aside from building up your plot of land, you have the nearby town full of people to build an actual plot of story. Well, "full" is kind of a stretch. There are maybe 2 dozen or so people living there each more or less with a specialty of some kind, and each with some sort of eccentric personality trait. I'm not real sure how the economy here survives, or whom is buying…

Plus some cheapies in bundles or randomly, A bunch of Oddworld Games, Need for Speed Payback, Tron…

Retroid Pocket 3

So, I've been pretty heavy on the programming push lately, but it's not all I've been up to. So, back around the start of the pandemic, I started work making a PiGrrl handheld emulator device. PiGrrl is basically a Game Boy Clone that runs with a Raspberry Pi at it's core. I ordered a bunch of parts and a case, I already had a Pi (I have several), and then the Pandemic caused my parts to take forever to arrive. Plus I probably spent more on it than I really should have. Then I got a little bored and it…
