Weekly Updates
This final full week of summer has been a bit weird, not that eventful and it wasn't really the best for me, but I'm feeling better and I was able to write the Game Changer review yesterday! Hopefully I can continue to for the rest of

After really struggling with What's The Catch, this is fortunately a much easier episode to write about for me! As usual, the standard spoiler warning applies, I suggest you watch the original episode first if you're interested in the show! You can watch it here: I
Weekly Updates
This is my 26th Weekly Update, which means that I have approximately been doing these for half a year now! A year is just over 52 weeks, which is also the same number of playing cards in a standard deck (excluding jokers), and half of that is 26, which is

It's past 11PM as of writing this, which is much later than I'd usually write anything, but I spent so much of today on just one thing that I feel like I have to write about it to clear my mind up a little bit, and

In about five minutes after I post this, the Taskmaster GOSH Charity Livestream will begin! It's a fundraiser where they raise money for the Great Osmond Street Hospital Charity, which will provide better resources for one of the largest children's hospitals in the UK. You can
Weekly Updates
This has been a bit of an odd week for me, there have been some good things and some not-so-good things, but honestly I don't have that much to talk about here. I am quite happy with the two posts I wrote this week about my

Today is September 1st, 2026, which is a decade after the release of IDFB 1: Welcome Back! The first — and so far only — episode of the third season of Battle for Dream Island. This was the first BFDI episode in over 3 years by that point, as BFDIA entered a

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

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
When will you wear wigs?
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.
When do we get to the part about the dragon?
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,
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
