NieR:Automata and DLC Country Locked

For the Nintendo Switch game version. This is a fantastic game! Loving it. I happened to stumble upon a games news article talking about which Nintendo Switch games to play that have recently been released or coming out soon. That was in October. A month or so later, and here I am playing NieR:Automata The…

Rewriting Nested If/Else

An often overlooked (perhaps) way to write cleaner if condition statements. This is not about having to go through all the refactoring into a Factory pattern, Switch statements, and other possible conditional logic methods just to avoid our classic if condition. Rather merely making it look better, when the scenario is right for it. Of…

I Forgot My Linux Desktop Password!

Uh-oh! If you’re forgetful like me, chances are that you may come into this situation one way or another in the not so distant future. Bless you if you never do. I really hope you don’t. Write that password down somewhere. Safe. Not on a piece of paper please. In any case, if it does…

A Multiple Of 3 or 5?

Saw this problem on the Internet about Multiples. Thought I might solve it. Don’t know why I dislike these kinds of things, but still want to try to solve it. It always seems tricky, although elementary? For transparency I only reviewed the Maths definition of a Multiple just to make sure if memory has not…

Imperial TIE Fighter – Star Wars

Just got this baby. It looks really cool, with a good amount of exterior details put into the model. This is not brand new. You can tell it’s not in mint condition too. But I don’t care, it still looks really nice! There’s no physical damage or missing parts (I think). Granted there is a…

MHRise: 5m 49s Nargacuga Kill

It has been several weeks since I have completed the main Monster Hunter Rise quest line. That is, all of the elder dragon quests starting from Wind Serpent Ibushi, Narwa The Allmother up to Crimson Glow Valstrax. That last one is surely one big and mean dragon. He is one of the more annoying dragons…

Not Loading Java Beans on Boot

Java Beans are eagerly created in Spring Boot applications by default. That includes dependency beans. This is something I need to remember always. I tend to forget it and take it for granted since Spring Boot is great at spoiling Java developers. While that is a boon in most times, it can easily become a…

Subscribe To Read Full Article? Nope. Reader Mode.

One of the things I find quite nice on my Android smartphone is the Google news feed that it sends me consistently for my reading pleasure. This Android feature can be quickly accessed by swiping from the left when I’m at my home screen. I often do this, usually after I wake up. That is,…

Chaining Profiles and Additional Documents

Just recently I have been playing around with multiple active profiles. This is apart from having the main application config, plus the profile that matches the environment on which the application is running. That is quite commonplace. Instead I’m talking more of an additional profile that gets activated aside from the environment profile based on…

Nintendo Switch Send To Smartphone Connection Failure

Nintendo Switch‘s Send to Smartphone feature as a way to share screenshots and videos from Album to smartphone keeps on failing to connect. 🙅 I don’t know why. I must have tried this three or four times, but each time it would fail to work. This sucks! 🙄 I have a Samsung A52 phone with…

Spotify Doesn’t Seem To Be Working

I had this issue with Spotify on Android Auto recently. The Spotify app was working on my phone yet somehow it would not show on my Mazda’s head unit display. Spotify was working fine on my Samsung A52 phone that time I connected it. In fact, I can still select songs from the phone and…
