I thought it would be fun to list every single physical game I own, and try to justify my purchasing desitions. Honestly though, it will be a bit painful too. It will be a paragraph per game, so it should not be that long. I will also...
I am one of those who prefers to get something done in the span of a day or else whatever I publish will need way more work on my part, to make sure the tone stays consistent and the flow of what I write makes sense. I actually write...
This week went by in a flash, I don’t even know what to put on my weeknotes here. I was just playing Metroid Prime Remastered. Okay I remembered a few more things I guess, here we go! 🧳 My parents went on a trip for medical reasons...
Today I used my bike as a tool and not just for excercise or hobby! My mom wanted me to go with her to some place, and even though she would just take me with her on the car, I decided to simply go ahead and take my bike to meet her...
It took me a while to finish this novella, because I thought I would get it over with before I started Tiamat’s Wrath (The Expanse #8) and instead I went into a reading slump for a couple of weeks, all of my book club got ahead of me in...
Oh my, I had already started writing the outline of my weeknotes when I realized the month was over as well! The monthly summary takes precedence here, so let’s get started with it! May was a very strange month, with a lot of things I...
Honestly, this week went by in a flash, I am not sure of what even happened with it, but either way, time continues moving forward, and some things changed during such an event, here are some notes I got from it. 📬 I finally received my...
It’s been a while since I’ve done a post sharing what my home screen looks like, and a lot has changed since then. Last year I shared what’s on my phone, but it was more of a listicle that didn’t really go into the reasoning behind my...
There’s a bit of an event going on in the TWG Online Discord server where everyone agreed to set a goal, to finish at least four out of ten selected games. This usually runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day—May 25 to September 7 in 2026....
Behold, another week goes by, and here I am writing the introduction after being done with all of it. This time I’ll actually publish it in Monday, which is always the intention but not often what happens. Not a lot of videogames, not a...
So I got my bicycle from the shop and used it to return home! That first trip was definitely an experience. I had never rode a bicycle on the road alongside other moving vehicles. When I was a child I had a rather big patio, and even...
I don’t like to think of myself as someone with “brand loyalty”, but it’s undeniable that I have preferences for the tools I use hardware and software-wise. When it comes to brands for any product, I like to think that I do my research...
Photo from Unsplash Don’t worry, I am not going to expose anyone but myself here. A few weeks ago I saw a YouTube video: The Performative Epidemic (Invidious) by chon digital, that was about something I think everyone has heard about in...
It is incredible to think about the fact that twenty weeks of the year are already over. I still feel like 2026 is barely getting started, but at the same time I’ve already done quite a bit of cool stuff. This was a pretty neat week and...
A continuation to this post. I decided I would get a used bike from a local bike shop. I talked to one of the employees there and he offered me some interesting options. I felt a bit more sure of myself, I had watched a lot of bike...
