Coder by day, gaming journo by night, and dad in between. Basically, I'm like a superhero.

We started downloading Borderlands 3 when we started this whole adventure. Borderlands was done downloading before we managed to get all 3 of us in a Warzone game.

I installed #Warzone again today. Launch the game, error. Do a repair, now there's an update. Launch the game, update requires restart. Select Warzone, game restarts. Launch again, update requires restart. Is @ATVI_AB actively trying to make us hate them?

35 minutes later and we abandoned one team member so we can actually play.

[Luan Erasmus @JakarandaPanda]

Both my team members' game crashed at least once. It's now 24 minutes and we still haven't played a match.

Is wearing your favourite team's jersey on game day not just a version of cosplay?

@CallofDuty Please increase the capacity for the South African DMZ servers. My squad hasn't been able to play since mid season 3 because we keep getting Timed out waiting for datacenters error.

Everyone keeps asking when Caleb will become a big brother. The answer... July 2023 😁 He is very excited and so are we.
We are at 14 weeks, baby is healthy and kicked wildly during the scan. Mommy is doing great, the morning sickness is just about a thing of the past.

@NetflixSA Just a heads up, your newly-added John Wick film is lacking Russian subtitles.

@Chani_ZA I'm close to the point where I'd consider killing all smokers just so I don't have to see those ads anymore. Maybe that was their strategy all along.

[Luan Erasmus @JakarandaPanda]

@TechGirlZA @venum Those are incredible. Where can I find them?

[Luan Erasmus @JakarandaPanda]

@Chani_ZA I was there on Saturday and yes, it was packed, but that was to be expected. No loadshedding though. But I was disappointed at the size of the event compared to last time. Where they previously had entire halls dedicated to categories, this time they barely had a few stalls.

[Luan Erasmus @JakarandaPanda]

@TechGirlZA I've always been the geek who hates team sports so I totally get you🙂My best friend is a big rugby fanatic and we have the best "arguments" about how eSports isn't really a sport and how rugby is just a bunch of men on pre-workout looking for a reason to touch each other😂

[Luan Erasmus @JakarandaPanda]

@TechGirlZA He was the F2 champ then essentially had to "sit out" a year as a reserve driver so he has to get back into it asap. Does this mean he got an offer from a better team? And who will Alpine get to replace him? Silly season is going to be lit!

[Luan Erasmus @JakarandaPanda]

@impulseSV Which chairs do you have? I'm in the market.

[Luan Erasmus @JakarandaPanda]

@HulkmanZA I swear, it's like their intentionally trying to sabotage Leclerc. Absolutely nothing they did today made any sense. If they keep this up, I might have to start supporting Russell.

[Luan Erasmus @JakarandaPanda]

@TechGirlZA @SAFA_net @KaitlinRawson Sport management in SA is embarrassing. My brother has represented SA in athletics for 10+ years (World/Africa champs, commonwealth games, Diamond League, etc) and still can't earn a living from it, like so many. But the powers-that-be will get their millions regardless.

My wife and I used to love going to the movies but we can't justify paying these prices? The last time we went to the cinema on a Friday to watch a new release, we were the only ones in the cinema. Does no one see this and think, maybe we're doing something wrong?

[Luan Erasmus @JakarandaPanda]

When ordering a snack combo at @sterkinekor, not only do you pay stupid money for the snacks and drinks but they now charge you R10 for the tray. Note that you can't not take the tray.

Crap like this is the reason I've only gone to the movies 3 times in the last 5 years.
