Greetings, wanderer! You've reached my personal homepage. Let me introduce myself: I'm Michał, a middle-aged nerd from southern Poland who can't grow a beard to save his life. Beardlessness is a problem amongst older nerd crowds, so instead I have an old school, static website. The maximize the street cred, this site is fully self-hosted and self-built In fact, you are talking directly to my home server located in the living room. The HTML you are processing is generated by my custom Python SSR and is written in Vim.

Ghost Dog was the first Jarmush's movie I've ever seen. I bought a magazine with an attached DVD (there was a time when this was common) and fell in love. I've seen most of his movies since then, but this one always hits different...
-HTML-- This is a moderately popular site. I get more emails that I ever expected, but I am not one of the big cheese. So, of course! Time to invade Gemini! Not the Google Slop thingy which stole an already established name, but the cool...
After reading too much of older books, I wanted to catch up on something recent. But then, why not indie? I've been following John Wilker on Mastodon for quite some time, so why not this? The Adventures of Wil Calder is the first volume...
A little update on my side. The friend who borrowed me a PS4 a few... years ago is taking a longer vacation on the outskirts of Asia. As a result, I am now a temporary house for a Sony Play Station 5 (and a plant). I'll read less, watch...
I vividly remember watching Dead Man for the very first time. To say I was impressed would be an understatement. I freaking loved it - it was smart, deep, had Depp. And then I saw it again, and initially, I hated it. The cinematography...
Finally, after my hard drive failure became a thing of the past, I am able to return to my Jarmusho-tron. And this time we're jumping into the glorious 90s, also known as "the golden age of independent cinema" As Jarmush entered the new...
I am not much of a gamer (as you can clearly see on the game revies page), but I do game. Recently, the Adventure Game Hostpot site (aka THE site for adventure game fans, but it's a long story) published their top games of the last 25...
Aphantasia is one of those conditions where one goes: "huh? This is not normal?". Well, I have close to no imagination. I never had it, so when I learned that some people experience reading differently, I was shocked. The most obvious...
The recent Appleseed reignited my interest in classic Japanese SciFi. I started to look for more of Shirow's works and boom - Black Magic M-66 was there. I have never heard of it before! The anime is a 1987 OAV which clocks at 47...
I haven't read anything by Stephen King in ages, and, when I found Dolores Clairborn at our office library, I thought to myself: after all this time? Why not? Then The Wife tried it before me and dropped oud a few dozen pages in, so why...
Appleseed used to be very popular, and Masamune Shirow call it his finest creation. Bold, since he also created Ghost in The Shell! Well, I now watched the a-bit-older adaptation and the results are mixed. The 1998 OAV movie doesn't tell...
The nth attempt of the first season is when Curb Your Enthusiam clicked. It was not perfect, but it was funny. The second? The second is where it won me over. Let's start with the biggest improvement: it's much less chaotic. I think...
This is one of the most shocking surprises I've had in recent memories. I picked The Metaphor Detox Centre from our local little library because the blurb sounded interesting, and I have very little contact with Asian literature. Now...
It's almost the end of the first quarter of XXI century. I may not know what the "age of AI" is, but I am apparently living in it. At the same time, people all around me are attacking it on all fronts, some even call for a complete ban....
I adore Seinfeld, it's my comfort food. But since I've seen all seasons multiple times, I've been looking for something new, but similar. You know, like the boring person I am. Curb Your Enthusiasm is a logical progression: half of...
