Lately I’ve been on a bit of a writing slump, pretty much just filling up the things that I am kind of committed to writing, however, this is not because I dislike it now, I’ve been simply too busy with other things, one of which is scrolling on social media, even outside the fediverse lately, such as Reddit, not feeling great about it to be honest but oh well.

👞 Went to the mall with family! I got myself a very nice pair of dress shoes. There are not a lot of occassions for me to wear some, but I haven’t had a pair in years. My dad was the one looking for some and I just had to match… he had chosen a different model but ended up going for the one I picked, like son like father?
-
✍️ I wrote a little slice of life post to change things up, it is about buying a phone case for my mom! Simple really but wanted to write something that wasn’t a weeknote or a recap!
-
💰 The dollar has been going down in price and buying physical games is getting quite cheaper, I’m still holding on though, haven’t done any purchases other than Risk of Rain Returns which I don’t count, digital, cheap and for friends, not me.

🕹️ Nintendo’s Year in Review is finally out! and it has been amazing.to see the stats for all the games I played throughout the year, they also added a little timeline of every game I have played since I bought the system, I must admit it was really fun to scroll through. The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, Hollow Knight: Silksong and Dragon Quest XI X: Echoes of an Elusive Age were my most played games on the system.

🎵 I’ve been listening to the Outer Wilds soundtrack non-stop since I started the game. It is what I sleep to pretty much on a daily basis now, it’s simply a joy to my ears, alongside some of Silksong’s and Hyper Light Drifter’s, of course.
Gaming
There was no time for me to play more Outer Wilds which makes me extremely sad, I’ll get to it again this week though!
-
Vampire Survivors - We are still having a ton of fun playing co-op. We even decided to buy the Ode to Castlevania DLC to unlock more stages and characters from the Castlevania series, it’s extremely awesome and the powers are just so fun.
-
Hollow Knight: Silksong - I played a little more of this, and discovered a few new paths connecting the world! I am genuinely impressed at how all of Pharloom was put together by Team Cherry.
-
Risk of Rain Returns - Decided to give this a try in solo, just a single run! I lost in the first stage, I am not too good at this one, I guess.
-
Slice & Dice - Recently noticed that I stopped bringing up this game on my weeknotes, rest assured that not a week has gone by without me playing at least a minute of this. I’m currently on a pretty good Blursed run.
Watching
A couple of movies from the 80s which were available on Netflix and I chose to watch on a whim, can’t complain much really, had a great time.
-
Back to the Future - Oh yeah I had a bit of a throwback watching the ultimate 80s movie there is! This is such an amazing film, gotta love to see it every once in a while! Holds up pretty well to this day just fine. I even watched the second half in English too! I often go for the dubs since Latino dubs are pretty top notch especially back then, it was a fun experience.
-
The Running Man - This is definitely an 80s film as well, lots of action, lots of muscles, lots of women dancing. I found it quite interesting as a display of society’s obsession with violent, mindless entertainment, misinformation, and the like. There’s a remake that just came out and I haven’t seen, could be interesting.
Reading
Finally begun the next Expanse book, and the usual (and one very special) reads of manga!
- Persepolis Rising (The Expanse #7) - I finally finished the prologue of this one and a bit of the first chapter, I wish I could say more about it but this is looking extremely different! You should just start this series, please, it’s worth it!
- Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou - Read chapters 64-66. It was about time I suited myself for some of the sweetest treats there can be, a few chapters of this manga. Just one of the little joys of life.
-
Usogui - Up to chapter 68 - New arc still being setup, some new faces showing up, don’t know what the bet or plot will be though other than some conspiracy.
-
Spy x Family - Up to chapter 127 - More cute moments with Anya, and the school dealing with the aftermath of a messy situation.
-
Chainsaw Man - Up to chapter 225 - The fight between Chainsaw Man and the War Devil continues!
- Blue Lock - Up to chapter 331 - Japan doing what it can to surpass the French team-up! But things are getting complicated.
Around the Web
- The Mad, Joyful Chaos of the Creative Process - R.L. Dane has been writing a bunch and this little post of his was lovely, check the rest of his latest work though!
- the emperor’s new clothes - Some real day to day concerns and complaints about tiramisu being forced to use AI stuff on a day to day basis due to work, rough stuff.
YouTube
- Ranking Villains By Their Chances Of Beating Mr. Incredible - This was such a random video and the royster of villains too, it’s just funny.
- Hollow Knight: Silksong - The Cartoon Parody - I quite liked this animation work, and the voice acting as well! Just a lovely and wholesome animation about one of my favorite games ever.
