As I've talked about in my previous weekly updates, last Saturday I got my first Face-Turning Octahedron (FTO for short), which is a twisty puzzle that will become a new official WCA event next year! Despite another decision from the WCA that I am quite unhappy with
Weekly Updates
Quite a few things have happened this week, and a good chunk of them are actually big enough that I feel like they warrant their own posts, so you can expect some of that later in the week! I do want to share some things now, though! It was only

Weekly Updates
This actually ended up being a much busier week than I expected, so I unfortunately didn't end up publishing anything, but it's okay! Hopefully I'll be able to write what I wanted to this week, including last week's Game Changer review (which

Yes, I am still thinking about the eclipse.

Here's a bit of a short post, just to share something kinda fun I uploaded! I decided to join in on tonight's LambdaGeneration Gamenight, and I was a bit hesitant at first since it was gonna be Half-Life 2 Deathmatch Co-Op on custom maps,
Weekly Updates
It's been a bit of a tough week for me, but I am feeling better, it's really helped me to start writing a bit more again! I wrote two posts I'm quite proud of, my second Bit City review and last week's

I absolutely nailed my prediction from last week of what this episode was gonna be, both which specific episode and its game! Admittedly not all of my details were perfect, but I did get the general idea of it, but I think that's fine. Like my other Game

After playing NimbleBit's Bit City for just over a month, I've finally completed the game, or at least by my personal definition of fully populating Apollo City, the sixteenth and final level of the game. I'm partially writing this post as an update for
It has been a bit of a tough few days for me, so I haven't written anything this week, but fortunately I still have some stuff to share for this weekly update, including a few things I've done! I've uploaded three videos on my
This is my 20th weekly update!! I haven't missed one since I started yet, even though I think it's fine if I do, so this has really been a good habit for me. Just like last week, although I haven't written much (aside from
HI FRIEND A new Game Changer released last week, I did predict what it was, and I really want to talk about it as it is probably my favourite episode ever. As usual, this post will contain spoilers about the episode, so if you don't want to be
This has been a pretty good week! Not that eventful, but fortunately that means I had a lot of time to engage with things I enjoy! No need for further ado this time. Last week I discovered Kate Fox, The Macintosh Librarian, and I immediately loved her videos. This week
I didn't really say so at the time, but after writing my previous post about having played Geometry Dash for a decade, I felt like I was missing something, or just that I could do something more to celebrate the occasion. After thinking about it more, I decided
Today is July 13, 2026, which means that it's been exactly 10 years since I first bought the full version of Geometry Dash! It's a bit weird to write about this, as I've played it for more than half of my life. It'
After the weekend's cubing competition I haven't actually had that much to do during the week, so fortunately I have a lot of media to share this week, and a good amount of new stuff again! Out of absolutely nowhere I found this video about Apple&
For a long time I had a pretty bad habit of recording Geometry Dash videos but never actually uploading them. Last year I decided to directly tackle this after noticing how many videos I've had saved, or even uploaded unlisted, that I never released publicly for over a
Although I haven't been writing about it as much, I've still been into older mobile games, and since I was playing so much Tiny Tower and have also checked back on my Pocket Planes and Pocket Trains networks, I remembered that there's another NimbleBit
Last week's episode of Game Changer was definitely one of the episodes I was most curious about from the trailer, as it featured three contestants who were in last season's Outvoted episode, maybe with them being made to look guilty for stuff. The episode didn'
Read Part 1 here! Today is the second day of my thirteenth cubing competition! There isn't that much ado, but I do want to bring up that I did stretch my hand quite weirdly while helping set up, so it hurt a little bit throughout the whole day
