  • The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

    My older cousins got me into it, and they were the coolest.

    My first playthrough took months to finish. I would just roam fighting every enemy, cutting every bush, charge into every tree, sprinkle magic powder on every living being to see if they would transform. I loved that it felt limitless in the secrets and exploration. It’s definitely the main reason I’m so into the Dark Souls games as an adult.






  • Tie between the time I threw my back out changing the car tires and it hurt so bad to breathe I had to lie flat on the ground, and she was mad because it delayed me driving her to go do laundry.

    Or the time she was mad about me installing the air conditioner in our apartment to cool down (the cats loved it too), because, “It doesn’t benefit ME”. That was shortly after I asked her to start paying for half of the utilities while I was unemployed. I had been paying them all myself for 3+ years, including the two times she was unemployed in that period.



  • A couple projects at the moment.

    A 3D platformer/adventure, my “dream game”, which I realized the scope exceeds my capabilities for now until I learn more. I’m taking some inspiration from games I’ve been playing like Cavern of Dreams and Pseudoregalia and will be simplifying it eventually to be closer to those. Here’s a little demo video of the character hopping around a level and solving a puzzle

    A 3D rogue-lite made from the bones of the project above. There is a drought threatening the faeries, so you have to go collect dew drops from dusk til dawn before they evaporate. It’s basically kicking balls in a 3D space and plays kind of like a janky Rocket League. Sort of fun, at least!

    A 3D platformer/FPS, sort of like Half-Life. This is my latest and is meant to help me solidify an understanding of game systems and how to keep it lean and simple. The shooting is janky though and I’m not sure I care to make proper enemies so it might get simplified further to just be little puzzles.








  • Honestly, annoyed. It feels like they’re trying too hard to do… something? So much start and stop, random instruments coming and going. Drums in the left ear!

    I like a lot of Beatles’ music, but this era is not for me. Rubber Soul and Help hit the spot. I prefer Pink Floyd’s take on psychedelic or whatever it’s meant to be.

    Edit: to better describe the feeling, it makes me feel like being forced on a roadtrip or vacation with parents. Too young to understand or care about the destination, knowing there are an unlimited number of other destinations I’d rather be.




  • Never said they were lol

    At home I want wifi on, and away I want it off. This saves battery so it’s not constantly looking for wifi networks.

    I could achieve similar with location service turned on all the time, but that drains battery even more.

    Since cellular data is always connected to some cell tower nearby, and Tasker is able to identify the cell tower names, I used the ones near my home as flags to indicate “I’m close to home, therefore turn on WiFi because I’ll be home soon”. And turn it off when I leave my neighborhood.
