Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 1mSo much this. I used to be the guy who rolled my eyes at the Linux/FOSS acolytes... and now I'm running Fedora as my daily driver, jailbreaking devices to install open-source software, building and jealously guarding a physical media library, and stripping DRM from the digital stuff I buy. 010
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 2hS4 of Reacher suffers from the one fault I never thought the show would fall into: over-complicating shit. The writers, for some reason, felt the need to fucking explain Every. Last. Detail. Everything needed justification and overt reasoning. And ths show suffered for it. Badly. 100
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 13hGood night, Bluesky. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely quit you in the morning. 000
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 13hAn insight into the world we live in: The decision whether to spend 3 days driving to *another country* and back to retrieve my broken Boox eReader depended almost entirely on whether or not I'd put a MicroSD card in it. That's how valuable SD cards have become. 000
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 13hFive episodes into Neagley and I really, really like it. It reminds me of the best seasons of Reacher, but with better character dynamics. All four main characters are awesome, but Neagley herself and Keno are the standouts. Very much enjoying this show. 000
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 16hA little disappointed the makers of Neagley didn't take the opportunity to delete Fuckwit's name from his tower when they had the chance. Or just replaced it altogether. 010
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 19hAw I sent my wife a cute picture of one of our cats and she responded with a heart emoji and when I opened the text the heart emoji was beating and THAT SHIT CAN FUCK RIGHT OFF 010
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 19hI saw this and can't unsee it so now you have to see it too. 000
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 23hI absolutely love open-source software. But it's this kind of shit that sometimes makes me absolutely fucking hate open-source software. 000
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 23hWell, this morning has been Adventures In Bad UX, featuring @vivaldi.com! First and foremost is a Vivaldi Team member stating on their forums that syncing Workspaces across devices is definitely implemented, when it is absolutely not implemented. 110
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 29/09/2026Hey All: I have a question about my NAS that I don't know enough about to articulate simply, so bear with me here: About a year after I set up my NAS, one of the drives failed. I was able to send it to WD and get a warranty replacement... 100
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 29/09/2026Good night, Bluesky. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely quit you in the morning. 000
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 29/09/2026Since losing my Boox Go 7, I jailbroke my Kindle and installed KOReader, and lemme tell ya: It absolutely Can. Not. Fucking. Handle. the number of books I have on this device. It's currently choking on an attempt to re-sort my library by author. I think I smell smoke. 000
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 29/09/2026And thankfully, the first episode of Neagley is better than the entire 4th season of Reacher. 000
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 29/09/2026Reacher S4E8 wasn't much better. Absolutely the worst season of the show. 010
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 29/09/2026Finally able to watch the last two episodes of Reacher S4. Halfway through S4E7 and it's already the worst episode of the series. And it's not even close, TBH. This is one of the worst episodes of *television* I've seen in a while. What the hell happened? 010
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 29/09/2026Well, that's a new one. Something I ordered on Amazon - which I have not yet received - says "Likely delivered on September 23rd". Likely? Fucking LIKELY? 000
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 28/09/2026Well, y'all (folksy), Burger King chicken nuggets have officially usurped McDs as my favorite. 000
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 28/09/2026Remember: D&D is just rules for make-believe. It's naturally analog. WotC can't push an update you don't want or force you to play with rules you don't like. Nothing in D&D is ever obsolete. WotC can do shit you don't like going forward, but they literally can't take away what you already have. 130
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 28/09/2026What if - and stick with me for a sec on this one - what if... I just don't give a shit? 000
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 28/09/2026Good night, Bluesky. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely quit you in the morning. 000
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 28/09/2026I'm gonna say it: Dolph Lundgren is a better actor than the world ever gave him credit for. 010
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 27/09/2026My wife and I spent almost two weeks on Vancouver Island, and it was so beautiful I forgot to take photos. I got a few, but I wasn't just pulling my phone out every five seconds. It feels really nice to experience something and not feel the burning need to document the whole thing. 110
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 27/09/2026Good night, Bluesky. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely quit you in the morning. 000
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 27/09/2026Spent yesterday driving from Seattle to the Oregon Coast, and the first half of the drive was through an absolutely massive windstorm where our windshield wipers couldn't keep up with the rain and a wind gust blew a semi into our lane at 60mph and now my neck and shoulder muscles are paying for it. 000
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 26/09/2026Watching Showdown In Little Tokyo and once again lamenting that we didn't get decades of wiseass Brandon Lee. 010
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 26/09/2026Just got back from a trip to Canada. Couldn't find my Boox eReader, so started calling around to find it. Turns out I lost it at a BC Ferries terminal, and it's in their lost and found. But apparently I dropped it in the load lot... and it got run over. A lot. 🫤 000
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 09/09/2026Good night, Bluesky. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely quit you in the morning. 010
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 09/09/2026Well, everyone's being fuckin' weird about video games (and other shit) for no apparent reason other than the internet has rotted everyone's brains, so in an effort to remain true to my earlier positivity post - and because I have a shit-ton to do - I'm logging off for for the rest of September. 000
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 09/09/2026All I've ever wanted from modern Romancing Saga is for them to change that G so I don't read it - Every. Single. Time. - as "Romancing Saba". 020
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 09/09/2026Working on learning aggressive positivity. Trying to reverse what a former podcast co-host once termed "righteous Luke-rage" and redirect it into hyping up what I love instead of constantly ranting about what I hate. I'm not always successful. It's a process. 000
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 09/09/2026Finally got to watch The Furious tonight, and it's already in my pantheon of greatest martial arts movies. In a class with Fist of Legend, The Night Comes For Us, Iron Monkey, Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In, Drunken Master 2, and The Raid duology, among others. Fantastic. 130
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 08/09/2026As usual, discourse is bullshit. Ocarina of Time looks phenomenal, and I can't wait. Everything about it looks fantastic. I just hope I can turn off Navi's vocalizations. I don't mind her having a voice in cutscenes, but I might go on a rampage if I have to hear "HEY! LISTEN!" ever again. 010
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 08/09/2026I've spent so many years playing emulated GBA games stretched to fit a 4:3 screen that when I see GBA content in the original aspect ratio is actually looks weird to me now. 100

Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 08/09/2026My first memory of Star Trek was being on vacation at the Oregon Coast with my parents. I was maybe 5 or 6 ('83 or '84). A rerun of TOS was on the hotel room TV, which I distinctly remember being the Spock-mind-melds-with-a-rock-monster episode. It's been a fixture of my whole life. 000
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 08/09/2026These kinds of statements are always so disingenuous. There are so many factors going into how a game sells that attributing anything specifically to just the GKCs is almost impossible, IMO. 000
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 08/09/2026I've been laid off before, from a job I loved. I've survived layoffs where my co-workers lost their jobs.

Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 08/09/2026I've had my AYN Thor for a bit over a month, and it's my favorite piece of gaming hardware I've bought in quite a long time. I spent the long weekend playing A Link Between Worlds, Henry Hatsworth, and Fields of Mistria, and even seamlessly hooked it up to my gaming TV with a controller. 100
Luke M. @geekelite.geekerific.com · 08/09/2026I've spent my entire life in the Pacific Northwest, and if this is the metric then apparently that makes me a full-on Canadian, because I'm 7 for 7 here. 010
