iOS 26 Public Beta - First Impressions

Yesterday I finally got around to downloading the public betas for iOS 26 and iPadOS 26, and so here are some of my quick thoughts on them! I have been following the developer betas pretty closely, so I already had a good idea of how the new design would look

Last Day In London

And now for my last day in London! At this point in the trip I already saw literally every major thing I wanted to see, as in things that could take up a lot of time like museums, tours, plays, etc. But there were still some things that I wanted

Maritime and Meridian

One of the places I was most looking forward to visiting on this trip was Greenwich, which has two very interesting places in it: the National Maritime Museum, and the Observatory! And to be honest this is probably my favourite part of the entire trip! So first of all, an

Yesterday I wrote about the Lambda Locator in Half-Life 2, which was the last achievement I needed to get all of them in the game. However, since the episodes are bundled in with the original game, for it to show that I got 100% in my profile I have to

The Backlog

XCOM: Enemy Within - First Impressions

For the next game to clear from my backlog this summer, I decided to try a game in a genre that I've not been able to get fully into, but still interests me in some way: Turn-Based Strategy. I've always been curious about it but ultimately
