Hi everyone, it’s been a little while.
Haven’t done much with the website these last two weeks, because… Graduation exams are right around the corner! Scary!
I do find myself wanting to write on here, but being immobilized by anxiety. My brain keeps going “you should be studying!!”…

I think I’m prepared, knowledge-wise. [Read more...]

Thinking about game logging sites… I quite like the look of Backloggery, and their cool web widgets, but… It just sorta has a different focus than what I have when I play games, you know? Backloggery focuses more on achievements like clearing out your backlog, 100% completing games, and stuff like that. I prefer the fairly recently created “alternative”, Backloggd, because it’s more focused on journalling and just keeping track of what you have played regardless of ownership, and logging your personal thoughts about a game.

Only thing I think Backloggd needs to be perfect are import/export options. [Read more...]

Just read this cohost post about a common phenomenon in online projects: Discord servers for help & support, and just service lock-in in general, I suppose.

I specially like this quote:

[…] we’ve normalized not logging in. At this point, I don’t think you can get anyone to log into anything, ever again, unless they believe that “all their friends are there.” Whether that’s literal - as in a new social network - or figurative - as in “1200 users, wow, this must be a great resource” - the friction of getting someone to sign up has to be colossal in this foul year of our lord.

I’ve read a related blog post a couple days ago - this one. (“Please don’t use Discord for FOSS projects”)

Only slightly related, I’ve been hanging out on the melonland forum, and it’s been really fun.

Hello everyone.

It’s my birthday today, so I’m going to pause my studying and treat myself to something silly. For April Fools SEGA has released.. A Sonic visual novel.

It looks incredible. [Read more...]

Hello everyone. It’s been a while since the last blog post.

As you may know, I am fascinated by firmware modifications. Mainly in consoles, but also other devices, like smartphones and whatnot. [Read more...]
