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…

Daredevil: Born Again

Daredevil on Netflix was one of the best things to come out of the MCU, though its questionable if its actually part of the MCU. Not to get into the weeds too much, but basically, there used to be "Marvel Movies" and "Marvel TV" as separate divisions. They had different heads, and there was dumb company politics and the claim that the movies didn't want people to feel obligated to watch a TV show to understand the films. Then they merged the divisions, and now every movie has a TV show attached and we get shows with questionable conclusions and…

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…

Star Trek TOS – Season 1 – Part 1 – E01-13

So, this one feels slightly tricky. I have been making notes about episodes as I watch them, but also I have been writing up some on a private forum and having some back-and-forth there. Actually, maybe this will make it much easier. Anyway, since Discovery is over, and I am caught up on Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks, I decided to move on to Star Trek, The Original Series (TOS). I really want to rewatch the TNG era stuff, but I am kind of trying to knock out all of the "older era" stuff first. Also, as it turns…

Star Trek Strange New Worlds

Despite that I've been writing about Star Trek Discovery, what really brought me back to Star Trek was Strange New Worlds. I had tried and given up on Discovery several times, not making it past the first episode, and I wasn't hearing much great and Star Trek Picard. I was hearing good things about Strange New Worlds. I know the timelines and continuity is iffy, but it's essentially a prequel series to The Original Series. Something I kind of realized when starting SNW, is that I have never really watched TOS. I have seen episodes here and there for sure,…
