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 Daft Punk Experience

Fortnite is so hit and miss with its special music events, which is extremely annoying because when they are good, they are really good, when they are bad, they are, really really bad. Daft Punk, thankfully, lands into the good. Unlike some of the previous music experiences, this is a sort of lobby area, with a few branch off spaces and activities. The core map starts off similar to the older style, where you travel along a sort of, on rails experience, while music plays to the visuals. Its very very on rails, your character pretty much just, flies along…

Blue Sky Archives

I'm going to touch on the entire discography here for Blue Sky Archives, it's only 3 EPs, each with 3 songs, and a couple of singles. So it's effectively just, one album's worth of music. But first I want to touch on why the group is significant. It's a precursor band to one of my favorite bands, CHVRCHES. Specifically, it's one of two groups that CHVRCHES lead singer Lauren Mayberry was a part of before CHVRCHES. The albums themselves (maybe not all, but Triple-A Side for sure) were produced by Iain Cook, also of CHVRCHES. Anyway, the three EPs are,…

Twenty Years of Last.fm

So this is a bit of an estimate, because there are several pages of songs listed as "Unknown Date". I'm not sure how that happens, but looking at my Scrobble History on last.fm, my first Scrobble was on June 8th, 2005, with the track "Katamari on the Rock" by 三宅優. That would be, the main theme to Katamari Damacy. I can actually see that being my first Scrobble. Afterwards I apparently rolled (aye, get it) into the soundtrack for Cowboy Bebop. Anyway, I've not been super consistent over the years, a lot of my listening has happened in the last…

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…
