Hi! Games: Life is Strange. It's good, I like it. It's making me want to buy Detroit Become Human.
TV: The OA series II. Finished. Amazing, though constantly on the edge of spinning out of control into shark-jumping territory. It's like Twin Peaks with more of a horror feel, crossed with Quantum Leap.

Why on earth do people drink alcohol and why do they plan to do it again the next day?

Why on earth do people drink alcohol and why do they plan to do it again the next day? To bring forward the sweet release of death?

You people. This place.
Morning all.
Games: more AC. Killed a cultist through serendipity while committing piracy on the high seas. And another while doing a quest to access a labyrinth.
Computerblog: my Time Machine disk decided to stop working at the weekend, so spent a large chunk of my evening sorting out a replacement disk. Left the initial backup running overnight (needs to copy ~960GB), and it was still going this morning. I had to turn it off... hope that doesn't bite me in the arse.
Camerablog: no time to play properly with new toy, but did view some of the test shots I did. Bloody hell, I've never known a zoom lens to be this sharp. Astounding.

Greetings,
Games. More Divisioning. Side missions and loadout sorting, Trying an smg instead of the M4. Not sure. Got my arse handed to me by a couple of level 14 bossen. Eventually sorted them.
TV. Billions & more The Wire.

amipalAmazon glacier. $0.004 per GB/Month. So roughly $50 a year for off-site storage. And yes I realise it means uploading nearly a TB to the Internet. If it's all in your house on several drives and your house burns down you lose it all. Or office 365 for £80 will give you 6 users with 1TB each.

The only gaming for me yesterday was some Mario Bros U on the bus home. I’ve been so run off my feet for what feels like weeks now - and have a free weekend coming up. Looking forward to it. amipal - Time Machine - yeah, I’m not sure you should have turned it off - what sort of connection is it? USB2? Any way of connecting the disc over something faster? Ethernet?

Three backups. One locally, one on a different media and a third off-site.

The more backups you have, the greater the chance that the vice squad will finally catch up with you. It’s about time.

I played Seppuko Sheep Die 1,000 Times last night. 1,000 is likely to end up an underestimate.
It's a good job I am a master of parrying in Souls eh.

Where did you get to in Sekiro Sheps? your probably already ahead of me. I'm not a master of parrying and its very difficult.
Dr Chocobollocks - Good but no Shiren. Might have to dig out Shiren on DS after its done.
Outwards is coming today, much excitement. It sounds proper terrible, in a good way.
OTTM - Berry on Brexit (Matt not Mary). Lovely stuff.
Its that day of the week again - time to wobble, wriggle, waggle and wave. Something else too but its slipped my mind.

Cobblers knows. Delete everything. Smash your hard drives and bury them at least 200 miles from where you live. Cover your tracks.

I liked Two Worlds II. I am still annoyed the last DLC is pc only
I see Outward is is a Deep Silver game. A guarantee of quality in Euro-RPGs.
I've still got to finish (start in some cases) Kingdom Come Deliverance, Elex, The Technomancer, The Surge, Divinty Original Sin 1& 2, Pillars Of Eternity.

I completed the tutorial area only and got my arm chopped off.
6 Souls platinums and Bloodborne one. I must have parried at least twice. once in Dark Souls 2 and once with the pistol in Bloodborne

I kind of want Sekiro, yet based on past performance with Souls and Bloodborne, I’ll bounce right off it.

Off-site would be good. I've got an eternal enclosure with two disks (notice the "k", people) installed - one is for a manual backup of my RAW files; then there is a RAID copy of that disk.
I should really keep it over the mother-in-laws when not backing up.
As for online backups, gigabytes are the issue. I think cloud backups are useful for people who have documents and low-megapixel JPEGs of what they had for dinner, not for those who potentially hold terabytes of RAW files.

one is for a manual backup of my RAW files Hot. Yeah, throw a backup disk in the mother in laws. You can courier a drive to Amazon and they upload it for you. (After they've given all your photos 6 out of 10) They charge for that though.

I really don't have an excuse; we're over there at least three times a week.
