What I’ve Been Up To (May 2025)

What I’ve Been Up To (May 2025)

As I've decided to combine my blogs, I'm still kind of trying to decide if I should combine my occasional, "What I've been Playing" and "What I've Been Doing" posts. Or if I should do one post for each. I post them irregularly anyway, so it doesn't really matter that much in the end. Gaming Let's go with Updates on what I've been playing, from my usual suspects, for now. Infinity Nikki I'm not sure where to even start here. I still WANT to play Infinity Nikki, I still WANT to enjoy the game, but something just feels… off… with…
What I’ve Been Up To

What I’ve Been Up To

I am still not dead. Sorry. Just… Not really in a "write about games and toys" mood. Hard as I try, I cannot be the "this is fine" dog while the world burns around me. What I Have Been Playing Infinity Nikki I think there have been a few larger updates. If I understand properly, the next update is the last one before we get the first "Big update", which will probably be a whole new large zone. The end of the main story teases like 5 or 6 other large zones or something. I don't remember. I have basically…
A Brick of Coffee

A Brick of Coffee

Let's do a "boring post". I bought a coffee brick. It's not fancy, it came from Aldi. Hell, it's possible this is the "least fancy" way to make coffee. Most of the time these days I buy beans and hand grind them, but I like to keep alternatives in case I am feeling lazy. So I decided to try the "brick coffee". I was not sure what to expect here at all. Would I need to cut slices off and grind them up? Would I need some sort of other thing I didn't have, how do I store it between…
Weekly Wrap Up (11.17.2024 to 11.24.2024)

Weekly Wrap Up (11.17.2024 to 11.24.2024)

I started posting these, a while back but they kind of fell by the wayside. I guess some of it just got covered in regular posting, and some of it ends up on the other blog, if I bother. Probably, I decided I didn't really care. But maybe I should care. So here we are. I have actually done a few of my "wishlist todo" projects this week. I have recently been hardcore digging through my too many bookmarks problem in Firefox. This has been an ongoing effort for a few months now, but I started on a phase two…
Blaugust 2024 – The End and What I Learned Week

Blaugust 2024 – The End and What I Learned Week

I kind of let this one really fall off after a strong start. I've already kind of touched on the various whys of it all. Mostly just a combination of being busy and the usual lack of motivation. I can't say I learned anything new that varies from last year's wrap up. I wish I could be more positive. I'm still pining for the days of old I guess. Which also may be part of why I'm so jaded. I've been blogging for a long time. Like, a really long time. Since before Live Journal was a thing really, though…
