My Music Listening Habits for 2025

Its that time of year, when everything rolls over and everyone does wrap up and summary posts. I have done my music wrap up every year for a while now. I did it monthly for a bit but it didn't change enough to be interesting to write about. Hell, it honestly doesn't change much to be interesting annually. It was kind of a big year for buying CDs for me, though not necessarily listening to them. CDs are plentiful on the secondary market, and are easily digitized. I also went and ID tagged all my music, which will be useful…

Tanking in Pokemon Go For Fun and Profit

So, I am.not a fan of PVP in Pokemon Go, better known as Battle League. Like, at all. However, there is a goofy Luchador Pikachu, locked behind Battle League, that I am a fan of. Apparently, the current season is some sort of special truncated season, which means that in order to get Luchador Pikachu, you only need to get to Rank 20, and not Rank 25. As far as I can tell, this means getting 107 Wins. Also, on top of that, it also means getting 3 wins out of 5 during one round, to unlock the Pikachu itself.…

Fix For American Truck Simulator Not Closing in Steam

I just want to throw out a fix I found for a problem with American Truck Simulator not closing properly. Its honestly stupid annoying because its been screwing up my Steam play time numbers, which I kind of really hate.  Anyway, I found what seems to be an effective fix, though I'm not exactly sure why, I have some theories. PS, I had the same issue in Euro Truck Simulator 2 and this fixed it there as well. I'm not sure where the file is in other operating systems, but at least for Windows, you'll wan to open the Documents…

Weekly Wrap Up (2025.12.20)

Kind of feels like an odd line up this week, and I am trying to "encourage" myself to post more individual posts on some things, like gaming. Gaming I actually have been playing the LEGO Fortnite a fair bit. Primarily with some sandboxy elements on, so I can quickly build little villages, but still fight things. I doubt this lasts very long sadly, the game play loop is just... not that deep. Especially with the material grinding removed. Anyway, I hope to post more detail on it later. Truck Sim has its Christmas event going on. The mechanics are very…

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1

In  classic fashion, I've done my 1 month subscription to Fortnite Crew.  That is, it ends on the 27th,, and I'll maybe resubscribe in  January sometime for another month.  Generally speaking, this works out to a crazy good value.  I'd already unlocked the previous pass items for The Simpsons and the weird Fortnite themed Music pass.  So I instantly unlock all of that, and everything rolls over the next day, and I get a month to unlock the next batch, which I've mostly done. I thought it might be fun to run through what's going on this round.  Its also…
