My name's parasurv! I like to write about the some tech stuff (games, Linux, etc), but I occasionally write about plantbased stuff, health and culture. If you want to know more about me, check out the ABOUT page, if you want to write to me, see CONTACT. Here some of the stuff I USE.

2021. July A short mention of build engine games on the Old games stuff page, special mention of Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior and Blood, with links to buy, or try to play via source ports.

Also started a page for Blood. What a phenomenal game, which I rediscovered through Civvie11.

Shorter posts, many of them are just rants or just thoughts, that doesn't require a full page of separate bullshit. >> MICROBLOG (recently renamed from (Short anti-social).

NEW POST in JULY!

Just an irregular linkblog with stuff that I am interested in. Tech, cooking, watches, anything goes really. >> LINKBLOG

Some stuff I like to read, watch or listen to. The lists are not complete.

NEW: started a page about the original MacGyver series, where I try to write summarize, and observations.

Stories of Us: Kevin Sorbo - “This is an industry that screams more than anybody else for tolerance…but now all that stuff is completely a one-way street.” Kevin Sorbo speaks about the liberal Hollywood's tolerance of the non-liberals (let's face it, it's not just about conservatives, but everybody who disagrees with them).

I recently got into watch collecting. I currently have a black & bronze resin version of the Casio Royale (AE-1200WH-5AVEF), which I bought it for the utility, and a Casio A168WA-1YES, which I bought it for the look. My third watch is a Casio MRW-200H-4BVEF, which is the orange version of that line. Looks like a saying is true: one Casio will never be enough. Hahahha!

My dream watches: Casio DW-290 (from Mission Impossible), a square G-Shock and the CasiOak (GA-2100 series). I am not really an automatic watch guy, probably because they are out of my reach, price wise, so I don't even dream about them.

Here are the things I like and worth sharing. It's not a bookmark system though.

• Favorite plantbased recipes (updated: 2021/02/06)
• Elementary OS (Updated: 2020/04/09) - btw, this is not my favorite distro, please don't use this, it's bad. Only use non-systemd distro! Better for head and machine. (also please read this in a Russian accent, thank you!)
