Time to Loot Journal: October 2019

Madness! Picking Just 5 Games for a Year
Now, I’m not much of one to partake in Halloween generally. But I came across something truly terrifying that I had to share. No, terrifying isn’t enough. It’s horrifying. Any other time of year,...
Fending off Attacks and Increasing Script Efficiency
The other day I received a notification from my host that my site was requiring more CPU time than was allotted with the hosting plan. I’m allowed 10,000 CPU seconds within any given 24...
XCOM 2 and The Outer Worlds Added
It’s been a wee while since I’ve done a post in this format. I’d actually been struggling a bit with what I wanted to turn this into and how I wanted to carry it...

There is a psychological bias that we as humans have when it comes to attributing causes to behaviour, depending on whether the subject of the attribution is one we like — ourselves, friends, or...
Arrival of the Suuuuuuper Ultrawide
Last week I mentioned putting in an order to upgrade my monitor at last! It’s here! Given I’ve only had it up and running for a few short hours now — this is going...
I Fought the Uber Penguin
And the Uber Penguin did not win. While I’m also dealing with Penguin in the Telltale Batman game I don’t mean that one. No no, this Uber Penguin belonged to Asheron’s Call. The Uber...
