iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Building a PC has become exponentially easier (not to mention less bloody) since Y2K, yet fiddling with fan settings, headers, and voltages remains the kind of torture you’d only wish on a child molester.

Teeth-clenching stealth, followed by tactical hardcore gunplay for those not looking for a quiet way in. Intravenous redefines challenging stealth-action and will keep you on the edge of your seat!

Oooh! Intravenous 3 finally comes out on 10/02! If you don’t know why that’s so exciting, do your homework: Intravenous: store.steampowered.com/app/1486630/... Intravenous 2: store.steampowered.com/app/2608270/...

My PC gamepad for the last two years has been a Razer Wolverine V3 Pro. It’s great; excellent build quality, fantastic stick options, extra triggers; it’s everything the $200 price tag promises. But there’s suddenly a hitch.

Our modern world is an infinite swirling vortex of bullshit, but it’s still unbelievably cool that I can pick up an eighth of quality weed on a whim at 9pm on a Sunday.

Since this Thanksgiving trip to Spain is now a real thing, I’m having to get my first passport. So far, it’s been pretty easy to get the majority of it done online.

I’m both indecisive and irresponsible, so my monitor upgrade (msi MAG 272UP QD-OLED X24) now includes these guys too: Edifier M90 Computer Speakers. Happy Christmas to me, I guess!

I think I’ve convinced my girlfriend that we’d be fools not to shell out $1,400 for a new 65” Samsung OLED. Keep those fingers crossed for me, boys and girls!

Getting flu and COVID vaccines tonight, then going for Italian Ice cups as a treat to me for being so responsible.

Here, have s’more of my cute boys.

The older I get, the more I realize that my tastes in women are weirdly specific. I don’t care how pretty you are, if you don’t like Korean BBQ, it just won’t work out.

I spent ~$50 to replace all the case fans in my PC with 8 of these. Everything is cooler, quieter, and even at maximum CPU load, it stays 10 degrees cooler than it used to. Highly recommended inexpensive upgrade!

In case you were wondering, yes, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is still an stunningly good video game.

It’s amazing how something as simple as a plate of ravioli can improve my outlook on life.

Between Fortune’s Weave and Trails 2nd, I legit have no idea when (or if) I’m gonna get to GTA6 this year.

I sincerely hope this new Fire Emblem really is as expensive as reviewers are reporting, because I’d love to be playing this game for months on end.

Finally saw Project Hail Mary. Good movie, if you can get past how many decades it would take an astrobiologist to design and build an extraterrestrial translator.

I’ve now lived so much longer than I would ever have expected to that I feel I’m living in the future. This is when I imagined Neuromancer happening. And now the creators of today’s AI warn us that it threatens humanity.

Woke up to discover that one of my PC’s CPU water cooler fans died overnight. No damage done, just a pain in the ass. Fortunately, I live next to an Amazon distribution center, so for $6.50 I got a new fan purchased, delivered and installed in an hour.

Because she’s the coolest, my girlfriend impulse-bought me an EDIFIER T5s subwoofer to complement my EDIFIER M60 desktop speakers. I’m stupid-excited for it to arrive! It’s gonna sound so damn good!

I should’ve bought a dock for my ROG Xbox Ally X MONTHS ago. I feel I’ve wasted so much time not playing Steam games on my 65” OLED!

I don’t want to sound smug, but I really can’t imagine ever moving to a part of the country where bison meat isn’t regularly available in stores. So many people are missing out on the wonders of bison, and I feel genuinely bad for their bovine lifestyle,

I don’t know what I expected from Agent 64: Spies Never Die, but it sure as hell feels like a classy Goldeneye remake.

Just found out that one of my all-time favorite pizza spots is closing permanently. It feels like losing a limb.

In all the talk of how DOOM and Quake are so influential, sometimes you forget that even after all these years, those id games are just fucking fantastic from start to finish.

How has there not been a Guardian Heroes remake/sequel/anything?

Really enjoying Splatoon Raiders. Turns out that looter shooters are best served without Gearbox’s involvement.

I’ve gotta praise City Connection yet again: Truxton Extreme is a fantastic shmup with an even better soundtrack.

Dammit. I guess I’m now officially old enough to complain about sciatica pain.

Sorry Eggslut, but Fried Egg I’m In Love beat you to Portland’s quirky name game by decades.

I can’t think of anything I want less than another remake of the original Halo.

My favorite podcast - one I’ve been listening to since its debut 12 years ago - just came to an end. It feels like the strangely dramatic end of an era.

Late to the party, but I’m really enjoying the PC version of Stellar Blade. It looks amazing, features deeply satisfying combat options, and like all the best video games, it offers extensive options for playing dress up with your sexy robolady.
