These weeknotes are full of gaming related topics yet again, but also some reading, let us celebrate such an accomplishment, yay! 💻 Now that it’s over, it’s weird to think about all the work I did while my workmate was out. It sure was...
I mentioned a bit of this a few years back in a post where I shared some early computing memories. At the time, I only recalled what the games were about, but I didn’t remember the names or specific game mechanics. However, through vague...
I apologize for the delay of these weeknotes! Work has been rather busy lately, I don’t even want to bring it up here very much. Rest assured I had plenty of free time to do other things I find more enjoyable to share on this blogpost! 🐉...
I saw Alex Wolfe answering these questions and I thought I’d give them a go! I even wrote an early draft by hand before transferring them to digital for some final edits. Feel free to reply to these as well, I would love to read your...
I don’t often share videos by themselves, much less actually quote them verbatim, but I really enjoyed it this time. The e-ink display—the technology itself—actually represents something different: Focus, simplicity, and going back to...
My previous post ended with me mentioning how inspired I was feeling today, referring to my desire to make another post! The truth is that this is often the case, especially on Mondays that are rather free of any work duties and where I...
I just got off the bus to work, it always arrives early, giving me thirty minutes or so that I often use to play on my gaming handheld or read on my Kobo. Today however, I opened up my RSS reader and saw this prompt from Syl’s blog:...
