No Major Glitches
While watching AGDQ this year a discussion came up once again — this category is “No Major Glitches” (NMG), but why are they still using glitch after glitch? Now while naming conventions and decisions in speedrunning communities are often benign, spot on, or even inside jokes I’ve noticed a consistent trend the last few years. […]
2023 Music Rewind
Since I don’t use Spotify or many apps that utilise year in reviews for music, I’ve had to make my own in iTunes (Music.app). Around 2010 I lost a lot of my play counts, and so in 2020 I decided at the turn of every decade I’d “favourite” the top songs of that decade and […]
The Discord Void
A depressing and often annoying situation we find ourselves in is the large swaths of companies and users using Discord as knowledge containers. What used to be knowledge bases, support sites, forums, and other publicly accessible and indexed bits of information are now stored in black box Discord servers. This information is at the whims […]
2024
I’m not looking forward to much in 2024, mostly financial stability for the first time in my life. Though two things stick out: Nyx will get her time later, but in March Apple should be unveiling a whole line of new iPad’s. I’m excited for a few reasons: We’ll see what they announce, hopefully something […]
Iconic Zelda Songs
While I agree with a lot of Zeltik’s choices and comments on “where songs originated”, I had two comments on what I didn’t agree with. First off is a bias with Links Awakening, where I’d say Tal Tal Mountain is a more widespread and iconic song. The bias is due to a remix of that […]
Holiday Music
Every Christmas season over the last few years I’ve always looked forward to one compilation album: An Overclocked Christmas (AOCC). I grew up with my major Christmas music being Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and whatever 98 Rock would play Christmas mornings (some classics, a lot of Christmas-adjacent rock songs, and a number of comedic parody songs). Speaking […]
DualSense
I recently got a PS5 slim, a console I’ve been looking forward to since the original PS5 was announced. It’s as fast, if not faster, than I expected and is a fun experience especially with PS4 games that are optimised for the new hardware. One thing I was really interested in was any load time […]
Mario Kart 8
I’ve been a kart racer fan all my life since the launch of the original CTR, and MK8DX has been one of the very best kart racer entries. CTR:NF could have come close but it was too unpolished and the load times by the final patch absurd, which left me wanting for something better. Although […]
TGA 2023
Aside from Alan Wake 2 taking some awards that other games deserved so much more, it was a good time. Could have let people speak longer, but at least the best part of 2022’s show returned: Flute Guy. Pedro Eustache is an amazing flutist, I’ll never forget how hard he went off for Xenoblade 3. […]
Modern Insomniac
My selfish gift for this years Black Friday was to get the new PS5 Slim, $500 for a sleek console and a free copy of Spider Man 2. I figured I’d also get Miles Morales which was also like 50% off, which also came with the remastered version of the first game. And so I’ve […]
Blogging in the micro scale
As Twitter burns to the ground and has burnt my ties to it, I’ve found myself for most of 2023 wishing I had something of which to throw my inner thoughts out and into the world. Log my thoughts on live events, post my shower thoughts, share things I like. So maybe with this post, […]
