Weekly Updates
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
Weekly Updates
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
Geometry Dash
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
Geometry Dash
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'
Weekly Updates
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&
Videos
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
NimbleBit Games
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
It's finally SD Summer 2026 time! This is my thirteenth cubing competition, so as I mentioned on yesterday's weekly update, I'm keeping an ace of spades in my pocket for funsies. I might bring a different one tomorrow though, as it actually ended up
Definitely a much slower week for me compared to the previous one, but it's fortunately still been pretty good! I haven't brought it up yet, as I unfortunately don't have direct involvement with it this time, but this I have a speedcubing competition this
As of today, July 2nd, 2026, at 1:11 AM UTC (Still July 1st for me), I have finally 100%'d Portal 2, as in I finally completed all of its achievements! For almost a year I've had only 50 of its 51 achievements, with the last
As I said in my latest weekly update, I've been "playing" a lot of Bit City, a game by NimbleBit (creators of Tiny Tower, Pocket Planes, Pocket Trains, and more), and so I've ended up with a lot of its music stuck in my
I definitely feel like I've hit my stride again this week. Despite there being some bad news going around, this has been a very good and productive week for me! I started doing some deep cleaning of my files and photos after being inspired by Jeremy Maluf'
After a much shorter waiting period than I thought, Deltarune Chapter 5 came out, and I wanna share my thoughts about it, but I should probably clarify some things first. I used to be a bit more serious about it when the game (or at least Chapter 1) first came
I don't know why I am only starting this now, but I've decided that while Season 8 of Game Changer is going, I might as well write my full thoughts on the episodes as they come out, as I usually have a lot to say about

I managed to go out and do slightly more stuff this week than usual, which was extremely nice! As well as generally doing more stuff than just being on the internet. Of course, I have to mention what's probably the highlight of the week, though it was just
I've really wanted to write more this week, and today in particular, but I was really struggling to find something to actually write about. Bored, and with no idea what to do, I was sitting on my desk with this same page open, and then I got a
Welp, today is June 15, 2026, meaning that it's been 1 year since I officially launched this blog! This is a very big milestone for me, so just like I did when I uploaded my 100th post, I'll temporarily turn this site gold! Hooray! Originally I
