My New Gen 1 iPad!

On my last post here, which was about Fruit Ninja Classic, I hinted that I would very soon be getting something that would allow me to play the actual original version of the game, amongst others. A few days ago (though a few days after I wrote about Fruit Ninja)

Fruit Ninja Not-So-Classic

I've mentioned before that I've been messing around with the iPhone 5 on iOS 10 recently, and I've been playing some games that are no longer playable, or even older versions of games. The last available version of a game varies a lot, but

A Word On My Hiatus

I was originally thinking about bringing this up in one of my more recent blog posts, but I decided that this warrants a post of its own. For about 12 days, between the post about my Sister's PS3 to Day 1 of SD Winter 2026, I did not

The Lost PS3 Minecraft Achievements (Release – DLC 3)

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I recently brought over my sister's PlayStation 3 from my dad's house to mine, and so I have been using it more often (though not as much as I want to since the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi aren't

Baba Is You - The Backlog

To kick off my hopeful decimation of my backlog this year ("decimating" actually meaning to remove one tenth of, of course), the first game I'm playing is Baba Is You, a game which I only got quite recently but has been on my Nintendo Switch wishlist

Santo Domingo Winter 2026 (Day 2/2)

Read Part 1 here! Today was the second day of Santo Domingo Winter 2026, and it went way better than yesterday! First of all, I want to correct a mistake that I made on the Day 1 post. I said that today's only events would be 3x3 and

Santo Domingo Winter 2026 (Day 1/2)

Today is the first day of the Santo Domingo Winter 2026 speedcubing competition! Also known as the day where Karl just can't make the cut (mostly). For this competition I'm competing in the same events as SD Otoño 2025, but the schedule this time is slightly

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

Battle for Dream Island Elsewhere - First Impressions

And Happy New Year!

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'

Happy Holidays, everyone!
