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...
This week was definitely characterized by a return to a lot of nostalgic things. No complaining, you will see what I mean as you read :P 🤱 It was Mother’s Day in México! I feel bad because I didn’t do breakfast for my mom. But the rest...
Metal Gear Solid is a very cool franchise, that is apparently a bit of a mess when it comes to its story and the connection between each game and all of that. I am not as attached on it as I am on Resident Evil. I did not spend countless...
For a couple weeks now, I had the itch to get into cycling again. Not as a sport or a hobby, but as a tool, to commute and go to places nearby. Around 10 years ago I used to have a pretty neat bike, it was a bit big for me but I could...
Obligatory May The 4th Be With You, by the way. Another week is over, I am still wearing my pajamas and enjoying a day off, which makes this Monday one of the best Mondays of the year thus far. Zero complaints! Here’s a question, when...
