Somewhat of a typical week this week. I finished Wings of Fire book 13 and started on 14. My daughter is already on book 15 so I have to catch up soon so we’ll have completed the whole series (for now).
I spent a good bit of time messing with my home server trying to get it running with the GPU again. Apparently one of the drives filled up, which in turn caused updates to partially apply, and that got everything in a weird state. It’s all fixed now, but that was a pain to work through.
I pre-ordered one of the ROG Xbox Ally X handhelds. I’m not sure if I’ll keep the pre-order or not, but the preorders went live this week so I wanted to get in line. I love my Steam Deck, but I would love to use Xbox Game Pass and the Epic Games store (as well as the upgraded components). I’m hoping there are some reviews before it ships so I can decide whether to keep it or not.
