Really digging the harmonising between SuMetal's and Nico's vocals. Also, where can I get a discoball helmet? I'm asking for a friend.

In light of SSD and RAM prices increasing, I feel tempted to put together yet another budget PC build without relying on the "latest and greatest". I'm actually considering building something that uses DDR3 memory.

Oh, the humanity!

Looks like my budget Linux gaming PC is mostly a success. There are still a few bugs to work through, but this is really cool.

Noa from "D4DJ" must never meet with Noa from "A Salad Bowl of Eccentrics". That is one can of worms that must remain sealed.

Oh boy. It's only a matter of time when someone will have the latest meta card in Revue Starlight all maxed out and included in their Versus team.

On the plus side, the card's Opening and Leader skills are not that great, so it's not completely invulnerable.

It's a nice bright day here in Naarm/Melbourne. I'm not gonna complain about that.

Looks like when I finally put together my Linux-powered budget gaming PC, I'll be using the Flatpak version of Steam.

I get a laugh whenever I get a scam call about how there's an issue with my (insert provider here) phone number, mainly because they keep getting the provider wrong. Without fail, it's always one of the Big Three: Telstra, Vodafone, and Optus.

Optus: nope.
Telstra: switched to Vodafone back in 2012.
Vodafone: switched to one of their MVNOs when I got back from Japan.

Guess they'll have to try harder.

Kudos to Central Coast Mariners for finishing first in the A-League.

Having said that, if my team (Melbourne Victory) gets knocked out in the Finals run, I'll be supporting Wellington because they deserve something for literally being the best of the rest.

It may be early days, but Singaporean football fans should be cautiously optimistic about their national team improving under their current coach. Tsutomu Ogura may not have Ange Postecoglou's back story, but at least he knows how "Ange Ball" works, and given that most of the national footballers are located within Singapore, it'll make things easier for them to pick it up.

Kudos to Harry Kewell and Yokohama FM for getting into the finals of the ACL!

I admit it. The PC gaming bug has officially bitten me. I've been keeping an eye out on second-hand stuff on eBay lately.

The only thing is that I won't be installing Windows whatsoever.

The Demon Lord from "'Tis Time For "Torture", Princess" is hands down one of the best fathers ever in all known fiction.
