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.

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...
Atlantis: The Lost Tales is a 1997 point & click adventure game in FPP. It's a bit like Myst, but while Myst is generally considered a milestone game and a bag of fun, Atlantis is much more divisive. There are folks who swear by it, and...
And now the exciting conclusion. Maybe not that exciting, but they try. And perhaps not a conclusion, as we're still 20 something episodes until the very end. Still: The crew of Voyager is infiltrating Borg Cube as Drones. It's Voyager,...

Back in my high school days, my best friend swore for Masterton. Last year I've read his The Pariah and quite enjoyed it. It was a nice, easy read. So, when I saw The House of Hundred Whispers in the work's library (yes, we have one), I...
I discovered The Darkside Detective when I was looking for Lucasarts inspired adventure games - I wanted an apéritif before a full play through of the originals next year. It was said to follow the style of humour and puzzle design so I...
