As my blog has developed over time, somehow I ended up writing about reading, videogames and technology above all, but the J in my logo is themed after folded paper for a reason. I love origami! And it was about time I wrote about it some more. My story with it and the like will have to wait for later, at the...
Scrolling through the timeline, these are only a few of the things I’ve seen today, people on different perspectives and paths, perhaps someone… That finally managed to fix their printer after a system update Talking about seeing someone else make a funny typo Sharing their progress on a software project Letting...
Back in May I decided to participate in the challenge mentioned in the title. From May 25 to September 7 (Memorial and Labour Day in the US), the goal was to make a list of at least ten games, and try to beat a minimum of four before the due date. As a Mexican, I gave myself some extra time, until September 16,...
Make sure to read the first adventure of this journey!. Six months after the first campaign. We finally sat around the table once again, and played Land of Eem! for the second time. We had set a couple of dates before to meet up, and even a session zero where some of my players made new characters, but we didn’t get...
It’s been a whole year now since Hollow Knight: Silksong finally released, and it has been a delightful journey. I wasn’t there for a lot of the hype around it, I was more than happy playing Hollow Knight in the span of a year or so, and beat it only a few days after Silksong was finally released to the public on...
For a little while I have been using YouTube way more, and even paid for the Lite subscription model, simply to test it out. Honestly, it hasn’t been too bad, and I actually really, really enjoy a lot of the videos I’ve gotten through the algorithm. But of course, YouTube Shorts have caught up with me and continue...
Don’t worry, I can connect to Wi-Fi networks, I just lost mobile data access and phone calls with my current SIM chip. You see, the silly government of my beautiful country decided that the best way to stop scam, blackmail and other crimes via phone calls would be to force everyone into registering their phone...
My parents are great, but they are also of a different generation, and despite the amount of people around their age that I’ve met online that somehow align with many of my hobbies, everyone is different, and well, that’s the case for them. Something I admire about my mom is how she still learns, she studies a lot...
You have probably heard of this one, it is an award winning title that came out around 2019 and has been making the rounds as one of the best videogames of all time. I had heard of it when it came out, often confused with Outer Worlds which came out in the same year, but other than it being about exploring space, I...
August was a very interesting month, given the arrival of Blaugust, the summer vacation and a lot of my gaming progression done during all of it. I have recently realized how little I have to say about the month itself here when I keep saying a bunch of stuff for my weeknotes. For a while I’ve seen some people...
Well, the month is over, and with that, Blaugust is gone as well! This is the second time I have participated on this challenge, and it has also lead to quite a lot of interesting interactions and a decent amount of posts. To be honest, I was unable to reach the goal of 31 posts for the whole month. I wanted to give...
I will write a separate post sharing some thoughts about Blaugust, but here are some of my notes for this week between August 25 to 31, 2026. 📺 After beating Outer Wilds I have watched all sorts of playthroughs, supercuts, essays, reviews, interviews, and any sort of related media about this game! I also purchased...
