Read a bit more fiction this year, and added some variety to my usual interesting-but-sometimes-depressing non-fiction habits.

A lot of up and down but I mostly liked Metroid Prime 4.
Each zone being entirely detached is a bit of a bummer but each of them was fun to navigate and search for secrets.
I even enjoyed the desert, it served as a nice generally low-key place to explore between main areas.

I love listening to people mostly be unhappy about Apple, talking about cool video games, and a bunch of news I suppose.
Really happy that DF have an audio show now. I could listen to that crew forever tbh.

Six dollars and an hour of your time is all this game asks.
It uses video games as an interactive medium to communicate something in a way words and images alone could not, and I love it for that.

Lmao me of a few years ago bought a Roomba specifically because it seemed like most of the alternatives either vacuumed my data or would be here today, gone tomorrow. Roomba sells replacement parts for decades old machines so seemed a good bet.
More fool me, I guess.

iRobot has filed for bankruptcy, although the legacy of DJ Roomba may live on: the company says that customer support will continue.
DJ Roomba no more? iRobot files for bankruptcy

I subbed to Read Only Memo a few months ago and it’s been a pleasant little treat every time it appears in my inbox.
It’s so nice to keep up with the espteric junk i enjoy like advancements in emulator cores or translations of previously unavailable games.

So many planets out there with slots the size of Samus’ morph ball that also respond to concussive force to control vital infrastructure.

An Amstrad CPC I got handed down from my cousins. It was already mega old by the time I got it, but it was the first computer that was mine to do what I wanted with.
Read the manual cover to cover and learn rudimentary programming by painstakingly copying from it.
