Splatfest time again March edition

For those of you on this blog that are not aware I am a huge fan of nintendos thirdperson shooter, SPLATOON2 (and splatoon 1 but right now I don't own a wiiu, stuck with #2)

Mentioned earlier this week, there will be holding another monthly splatfest tournament going on.

This months topic of debate is "Which came first,  the chicken or the egg?"  With players able to choose which side of the argument they're on, and fight for  their appropriate side.

 The Splatfest will take place:

3/9 (Fri) 8:00 p.m. PT – 3/10 (Sat) 8:00 p.m. PT 

For those who have never taken part in a splatfest, it is a turf war style battle, with the normal two battle fields rotating plus the mysterious shifty station map.
Overall rankings are done via most single join battles joined, most team battles (pre arranged team battles, not to be confused with normal match making)  and the popularity vote of which team got choose the most.

Different ranks are earned depending on how many matches you play during the splatfest giving you different titles which stay on your profile, such as "chicken defender" etc, with gender pronouns being provided according to your squiddo.
 

Goodluck out there people and play hard.

Parital Teardown / Repair of Sony MDR-XB650BT

Welcome to another edition of I broke something, SO LETS FIX IT. While on my daily adventures I had the misfortune of my headphones falling from my head and hitting the ground, the result of thus is the controller board for the headphones became loose due to a small piece of plastic breaking free, which technically meant that the controls didn't work and charging wasn't functioning. So like any good tinkerer would do......it sat on my workbench for 3 months and then i eventually got to it during coffee time one morning this week. So the teardown was actually fairly simple, the first step was to gently pull at the edge of the earcuff where it is glued to the headphones, when you see the ring of adhesive take a flat head screw driver being careful not to tear it, and pulling up the whole ring revealing the initial 3 screw holes. ( as shown in the below picture. Screw holes are revealed after the earcuff is gently removed from headphones. First take out the three ...

The Pokemon Company just released a bunch of info on the integration between Pokemon Go and the upcoming Let's Go Eevee/ Pikachu titles on the Nintendo Switch news boards and on YouTube today. The great footage which was released gave some clearer idea of the game mechanics, as well as confirmed the titles which had been rumored and leaked in the past few weeks. If you haven't had the chance to check out the video please take a moment to have a look if you hold any interest in Pokemon Go or the new franchise for the Switch, or .....in both, which this Balloonicorn falls right in the center of <3.

PirateBox for portable public library/ or other offline resource sharing for AR games

For those who are unaware what a pirate box is, it is a...  " DIY anonymous offline file-sharing and communications system built with free software and inexpensive off-the-shelf hardware."   These little repurposed routers are lightweight systems which make a wifi network in their vecinity and offer web services such as chat and access to files / leaving files.  They can be left as a deaddrop in which they stay at a location and anyone in the area has access to them, Or there are ones people keep in their bag and are only available when they are near. They are a very unique diverge in the cloud based thinking that usually follows this day and age, Instead of trying to keep everything syncing and updated all the time, these ones are updated manually by the users and as such a more personal content and localized experience. The default setup leaves you with a pocket router with a usb stick coming out the side (i usually suggest 16-32gb at least if you're wanting...
