Happyyyyy

I managed to bring my old twin-tub washing machine back to life by replacing the drain valve assembly. Luckily, I found an original spare part, although removing the old one wasn’t easy because it was glued to the wash tub. I already have two other washing machines, but I keep this old one just for… read more

The universe vs me

You know when one thing goes wrong then before you know it the universe decides to mess with you in a grand way? Woke up this morning, stepped into dog vomit. Cleaned that up, got ready for work, went outside.. puncture. Called the AA and waited 3h for them to arrive. Thought I’d be productive… read more

Spending my day replacing a brass gate valve on a copper pipe... and it is NOT moving. any thoughts?

Todays Job - Replacing A Cracked Valve Cover & Coil System

Fun Times! Good thing its warm out today!!

GitHub copilot

AI is fun and annoying. I am right now learning C# and C++ to learn how to use Unity, UE5 (Unreal Engine 5) and Source 2 (when valve would release developer tools. But also to spice up stuff related to mappings), as well as creating a site for my games with React (currently just creating string… read more

The words sit stuck So tired of their redundant nature Tired of my repetitive need to pick scabs Until they bleed and I have the exposed nerve To call it healing But my art is the only way I know How to process feeling Watch me peeling Appealing Im never scared of making ugly art… read more

Today’s Job - Tire Change

Today i remembered why i pay a shop to do this. After splitting a tire, i didn’t want to wait 2 weeks and pay $150 for them to do it. Pirelli Angel tires, with ceramic balancing beads. 2 hours work and she is running again after sitting for more than a week. Pro Tips: The bead breakers help. A… read more

Manual Air Relief Valve

Had a fun property project for a shattered air relief valve. Cost roughly $55 for the assembly and $12 for the marine lubricant. Super smooth installation process on a tr100c sand filter.

Deadlock access

I'm sure it's already common now but if anyone wants and still doesn't have access to the new Valve shooter, let me know! :)

Mazda 323F BG (Astina) part 2

Update on the engine bay situation - changed spark plugs, coil's cable, sparkplugs' cables, gasket of the valve cover. Polished and painted valve cover. Also a proof she can move those tires and even drive with highway speeds lol On the way back the traffic police stopped me for driving without… read more

Finally had time complete my penance, and team17 announced a DLC

Team17 has done impressive work this series, this is what gaming should be about, in the time were AAA games are after your cash and fake hyperalism. Team17 has has created one of the best metroidvania ever made. This time playing on Android with gamenative, thanks to valve 😉 (edited)

V8 model engine - 3d printed

Printed out the block. Crankshaft, camshafts, piston rods and pistons are next. Valve springs would get messy, so I'm thinking about leaving them out. But if I leave them out, I don't need to bother with the valves, and if I dont bother with the valves... 🙄 Second option would be to source out… read more

Nightly thoughts from your friendly neighborhood ENTJ.

"The most wasted of all days is one without laughter." - Nicolas Chamfort Laughter is often treated as a distraction, but it is one of the most honest reminders that life is meant to be lived rather than endured. You can work hard, push yourself, and chase achievement, but if you never stop to… (edited) read more

Arch Linux desktop

On Friday, I installed NixOS and Arch Linux to new SSDs I added to my PC. I've managed to get my Arch Linux install to do most things I want it to (main exception is I struggle to get wireless headphones to work under Hyprland; they work fine under GNOME). This includes gaming, programming, working… read more

Missing My Beloved Dog, Sano

Yesterday (January 11th, 2024), my Sano, a sweet and beautiful Siberian Huskyand German Shepherd mix, suddenly passed away. He was only 7 years old and healthy. It was so sudden that I did get the chance smooth him as he slip away from me. I love him so much. I miss, Sano! He was there for me… read more

Friendly reminder

I'm sure the Game Awards will be a slog, but Valve is giving away a Steam Deck every minute during the event, but you must sign up through a link on their homepage. You should try to win one. They are pretty sick [Edit] You also must watch it streaming through Steam (edited)

How much is too much?

I’ve been growing my setup for years, finally got myself on the triple monitor with a secondary laptop using a capture card for running OBS. And can’t forget the technical 4th monitor of the Valve Index for VR shenanigans

That weird moment...

...when your Debian is running your game better than your previous Windows installation. Neat! Thanks Valve 🤟 #nerd #magicthegathering

NNN

Honestly, it started as a joke, a stupid internet meme. Still is really. But honestly, it's not completely a joke any more. Some of us really try, and some women love breaking streaks. Personally I just do it because after a certain point, there really is no point anymore. Yeah I've tried all the… read more

Rate my set up.

I have an Rtx 3070 and a PS5 and Nintendo Switch. That mess of cables under my desk is my valve index. Definitely need to get something to organize that. (edited)

Writing is my life-long addiction

Writing is much more than just a hobby, it's to me a healthy copying mechanism, a steam valve for stress and bad emotions, a moment of joy, my safe space, my creative peak, my happy place and my space of solace when I'm sad or hurt or when life becomes just unbearable. it's just my media for… read more

Who am I really?

I have always believed that a person’s life is their philosophy in motion. The way you wake up, the way you treat others, the choices you make when no one is watching, these are all small brushstrokes on the canvas of what people will one day call your character. I am not a religious man, but I do… read more

Dota2

Valve, almost 8 years of putting money into the game so you can give me a coal

Gaming shower thought

What if Valve got into the mobile game market and used the steam app as an alternative marketplace to the to the Play store

Happy valentine's everyone

Happy valve day to all...spread love no to hate..

Anybody a valve fan here?

I grew up on half life, want to find people who also play it and talk about how great those games are

Work day inspections.

Working In the tunnel today. Checking the 72 inch valve and crack monitors. The pipe contains high pressures 270 cubic feet of water traveling by every second The rumble you hear is the water. Would you go in 900 feet with me? (edited)

Valve isn't perfect by any means, but they're as solid as they come these days.

.

When so much has happened and it's too little to late to turn back the hand of time to realise what you had was more valuable then anything in the world. Once damage had been done and we can't take back the things we have said and done. We should learn to valve the things we take for granted...… read more

Dear Heavenly Spirit. Thank you. Thank you for providing us with the direct-port nitrous... uh... injection, four-core intercoolers, an' ball-bearing turbos, and... um... titanium valve springs. Thank you.
