My Sister's PlayStation 3 And My Backlog

I've mentioned that I've been doing some tech archaeology a few days ago, and so I've been retrieving a lot of the tech I've had around me. Two weeks ago, a few days before I got the iPhone 5 working again, I

Reviving My iPhone 5

I have recently been doing a bit of "archeology" around my home — as I like to call it — and I've been getting into exploring some of my old phones. For example, I have an iPhone 8 with a broken camera that used to belong to my

My First Magic: The Gathering Deck

I have recently gotten an itch to play Magic: The Gathering again, but actually try to get more into it this time. I've sort of been around the zeitgeist of the game for over 4 years, but I have been very on-and-off about actually playing it. I'

Holiday Happenings! (2025)

Happy Holidays, everyone!

My Logo For SD Winter 2026!

Today I wanna share an artsy thing that I am incredibly proud of accomplishing! I've been thinking for a while about creating the poster and/or logo for the speedcubing competitions in my country. I love graphic design in general, so it felt obvious to combine it with

Geometry Dash Subzero Retrospective

Yesterday I wrote about GD World, the second Geometry Dash spin-off game, which came out exactly 9 years ago from yesterday. Exactly a year later, on December 21, 2017, the third — and as of yet final — Geometry Dash spin-off came out, and I wish to reminisce about it today: Geometry

The Strangest Chapter In Half-Life 1

Previously in this blog I talked about Blast Pit, my favourite chapter from the original Half-Life. Today I am following that by talking about another chapter that's been in my mind, but for different reasons. Not necessarily a bad reason, though — in fact, that's exactly why

My Favourite Chapter In Half-Life 1

Yesterday I finally finished my replay of Half-Life within the HL: Legacy mod! And by playing the entire game again I've really been able to solidify some of my more specific thoughts about it, and I wish to talk about one of those today. Although Half-Life 1 is

Half-Life: Legacy - Review

Aside from being TWOW's 10-year anniversary, yesterday was a very exciting day for me, due to many other things that were announced to happen during it! One of those was the release of a fanmade restoration mod for the original Half-Life, called Half-Life: Legacy. HL: Legacy was made

Happy 10-Year Anniversary to Ten Words of Wisdom!

Exactly a decade ago to the minute of this post being released, on December 13, 2015, 12:01 AM UTC, Carykh uploaded the first episode of a brand new series: Ten Words of Wisdom. This was a YouTube camp, which is a game played by actual people via YouTube! This
