Retrospectives
I've shared before that one of my favourite mobile game developers was Halfbrick Studios, most famous for Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride. They did make a lot of other games though, and my favourite aside from the big two was Fish Out Of Water, which came out on

I was cleaning through my files and I found an old note in Obsidian containing my old predictions for the Retro Tracks in a potential new Mario Kart game, as in which tracks from previous games they'd bring back. Even though the new Mario Kart game came out

A few days ago I was looking through the files of the mobile games on my 1st Generation iPad, and while looking through the files of Fruit Ninja HD I found a .zip file which contains (I assume) all of the assets of the game. Pretty much all of the
Weekly Updates
Here's my fourth weekly update of the media I've interacted with this week, amongst other stuff! I am getting a better hang of the format now, and I also started writing this on Saturday, as opposed to the previous ones that I usually started around Wednesday.

I promise this is now a Taskmaster blog, despite 3 of my last 6 posts bringing it up, however I have been thinking about this for the last 2 weeks or so and I finally feel confident with it. I've previously talked about why Series 8 Episode 5

Since I've been (unofficially) speedrunning BFDIA 5b for the past few weeks I've been thinking quite a bit about Win Tokens. In the game, Win Tokens are small collectibles that give an additional optional challenge to each level. Some are hard to find, others are difficult
Weekly Updates
It's Friday so it's time for another weekly recap of the things I've found! This has been a much busier week than usual, but that doesn't mean I didn't have time to enjoy stuff. Also as I mentioned last time,

Did someone say Equinox?

Two weeks ago I shared my thoughts on the recently announced MacBook Neo, and in the post I mentioned that I couldn't help but think about the 12-inch MacBook which previously sold from 2015–2019. And of course I would, I own one! I got it about a

Content Warning: This post features fake gore made out of food. If you have any aversion to that sort of stuff please take that into consideration if you're going into this post. Thank you. I shared in my Weekly Update from a few days ago that I'
Today I want to try something new here! Something I thought I would do more when I originally started this blog was share the media that I enjoyed. I don't know why it's taken me this long, but I have decided to finally give it a
A week ago from today the remaster of Poker Night at the Inventory was released, finally bringing the game back from the dead after 7 years. The original game was released on November 2010 by Telltale Games, but hasn't been available via official means since 2019 after they
I was recently cleaning through my room and I found my art class Portfolios from 2023–2025, and I found one of my favourite physical pieces that I have ever made, which was for an assignment that I finished on November 3, 2023. For the assignment we had to draw
Yesterday Apple unveiled a completely new addition to the MacBook family, the first since 2015: The MacBook Neo. The MacBook Neo is Apple's new (and perhaps first) entry-level laptop. It uses the same A18 Pro chip that the iPhone 16 Pro used, has 8 GB of RAM, and
Last night I got another sudden spike of motivation to finish one of my Geometry Dash levels, and today I finally released it! The level is called Phaze, and it is a level that I started making in December 2023, being the first full level I started working on after
When I started playing Geometry Dash on July 2016 I wasn't very good at the game, which makes sense, I feel like most of us weren't. It took me over a month to make any real progress, but when I got more serious about the game
I have another short post for today, but I think it is extremely worthwhile. Today I started and finished a Geometry Dash level! Though I don't want to take a lot of credit for it, honestly, as it is entirely based on other levels that already exist. The
I have a small post for today. I have been debating whether this would work better as part of a larger post instead, but it feels better this way! While playing Tiny Tower v1.0, I noticed that one of the floors I had built looked different from how I
The official launch of EyeSpark v2.0, I guess!
Read Part 2 here! To finish off the tour of my cubeshelf, I will now be showcasing the eleven miscellaneous cubes that I have on the right side of my bottom shelf. These are all Non-WCA puzzles that I like to keep handy and often solve just for fun. Although
