Weekly Wrap Up (2026.03.07)

Lets go ya'll. Music Yesterday was hashtag Bandcamp Friday again. I squeezed out a bit for a bit. Hayley Williams has a new band, Power Snatch, that released an EP a few weeks ago. I picked it up. I saw another blogger mention these remix soundtracks of Chrono Trigger and Super Metroid. Both were "PWYW" so I picked both up. I also randomly searched up Lauren Mayberry and remembered how much I enjoyed Ashamed by HEALTH, which features Lauren on some vocals, back when I had Spotify. And it was on Bandcamp, so I threw it on the small pile…

Star Trek Starfleet Academy – S01-EP05-07

Welcome to part 2 of a series of posts where I haphazardly ramble on about Star Trek Starfleet Academy. This week covers episodes 5 through 7. It was going to go through episode 8 but it turns out there are only 10 episodes in the season, and the numbers work out better if I chop them up this way. Something something spoilers ahead. S01E05 - Series Acclimation Mil I ended up getting slightly spoiled by buzz around this episode, nothing major, just the basic nature. Mostly that Tawny Newsome was involved and going to be in it. I wondered a…

Weekly, Monthly? Wrap Up (2026.02.21)

Yeah its been a hot minute, whatever. Lets do some catch up. Maybe I will secretly slip those old posts in as if they were always there at some point. In general life stuff, I had a fun Valentine's day going to a local Ice sculpting show. I should throw together a gallery for that. I had the pleasure of spending $1300 $1600 on car repairs, it was just, maintenance needed for a 100k+ miles vehicle. Breaks and rotors, some leaky oil stuff (ended up also needing to replace the fan). And just to top it off, the van goes…

Heartopia Casual Tips

I have made it pretty deep into this game now, though it has no real goal or end game, and I thought it might be worth sharing some random things I have picked up that were not necessarily obvious, or I missed because, like a lot of folks, I mostly skip tutorials. Basically, some.suggested things to do, ways to make money etc. This is not a "maximize" guide, its a "casuals want to survive" list of tips. Anyway, on with the list Daily Tasks Eventually, like level 5 or something, you unlock daily tasks for NPCs. These are all fairly…

Star Trek Starfleet Academy – S01-EP01-04

I wrote a whole post on this show before watching it that I never bothered posting. It was basically, "People are bitching about the show without watching it, so I will "not bitch"... "anti-bitch"? ... whatever, about the show, without watching it. In the end, it felt like pointless fuel on an artificial fire. Having watched it, or at least, the first part of it, its fine. If you want the short and sweet spoiler free commentary the show is pretty good, its "more Trek" than Discovery was. I can see why some folks dislike the dialog at times. For…
