Dark Souls™: The Board Game from SFG implemented the original game's game mechanics. One notable thing missing is parrying, which to tell the truth I didn't use at all, but would still like to have as an option in the board game.
Dark Souls: Push Rules Flowcharts
My latest hobby is Dark Souls™: The Board Game from SFG, which is a really good representation of the video game series with simple enough rules. The only rule too complex for beginners is the push rule, that defines what happens if an enemy pushes the player characters...
Fix AMDGPU driver problems for your AMD video card in Ubuntu 18.04 after upgrading to a new kernel
Your AMD video card will probably work flawlessly out of the box without installing any additional drivers in Ubuntu. However if you are unlucky like me and experience random crashes, you might want to give the official drivers a try.
How a tiny USB Soundcard solved 3 separate problems
By now, the sound coming out from a computer should be a trivial issue. Ever since soundcards integrated on PC motherboards appeared, all you had to do was to plug in your speakers or headphone in the green stereo audio-out port and everything worked like magic. At least that is how it should work.
Force browsers to load the latest CSS and JS versions in WordPress
During the development of a website, the caching of .css and .js files can be a problem, especially when dealing with less tech-savvy clients who do not understand that the changes you made might not be visible to them due to their browser caching previously downloaded content.
Make Ubuntu beautiful!
As I've already complained before, I'm really tired of the default Ubuntu desktop. Yes, it is practical and easy to use, but it's basically unchanged ever since... forever. Maybe we can do something about it if we try hard enough.
Setting up Git for Ubuntu with autocompletion
If you ever used any Linux distribution, you are most likely familiar with the default Bash completion functionality. You start typing a command, hit Tab, and the command gets automatically completed. If there are multiple commands that match what you typed so far, you can hit Tab two times, and Bash displays a list of all possible completions. The same works for variables and filenames, but not for the many commands Git provides.
Customizing the Ubuntu 18.04 login/lock screen with LightDM
Ubuntu was once the pretty alternative to Windows with its clean aesthetics and (mostly) uniform user interface - at least for those who couln't afford to buy a Mac. Ever since Windows 10 was released, Ubuntu seemed to fall behind in looks. Basically almost nothing changed in the last 10 years even though Unity was replaced by Gnome 3 on the desktop.
Getting rid of the annoying “System program problem detected” window in Ubuntu
Ever since Ubuntu 12.04, the automatic error reporting service called Apport is enabled by default on boot. This should be a good thing... right until the "System program problem detected" window starts popping up randomly many times during the day.
What I want from the next Assassin’s Creed game
The next Assassin’s Creed game is already under development and is rumored to take place in the Viking age. As a huge fan of the series I will play with it no matter how it turns out, but I do hope that it will correct some of the faults of its predecessors.
