Towards the end of a year, it's customary for gaming publications to publish their Game of the Year, sometimes in the form of multiple awards and whatnot.

Copyright issues with streaming media have suddenly become a relevant topic due to two separate incidents happening in very close temporal proximity to one another.

Epic and Apple (along with Google) have entered a bit of a corporate spat over app marketplace policies.

I’ve said it a few times in the past that this website is pretty optimized.

To a programmer, the text editor is among the most important tools.

I went on my pretty much annual summer cottage trip last week and during that week I managed to be relatively productive in terms of doing a bit of writing.

I recently read about Gemini, a new internet protocol that aims to do things kind of similar to the web but while also being more simple.

I've always been a bit reserved regarding artificial intelligence.

In the past I have complained about Proton potentially having negative side-effects for Linux gaming in general but at this point I have to say that Proton doesn't hold a candle to the obvious dangers of Stadia.

If you've browsed through my posts on this website, you may have noticed that there is no comment box underneath my posts for people to leave feedback.

Recently YouTube decided to roll out (for a brief moment) an “update” to their home page design that turned the recommendation page’s grid layout into an endlessly scrolling feed, which was clunky and annoying to use and overall sucked.

Some time ago I wrote about doing some programming livestreams and mentioned that I was working on a roguelike in the Rust programming language.

I’ve recently tried a new and scary experiment of coding on a livestream.

I recently went and checked my domain expiration date and its renewal price and have come to the conclusion that it would be cheaper for me to change my domain.

I’ve noticed a pattern in video games where the lifespan of many video games is being cut rather short.

We decided to participate once again in the annual Linux Game Jam and made a small terminal-based platformer game.

I’ve recently been using the Sway Wayland window manager/compositor and I figured I’d share some of my thoughts on it after a little over a week of use.

I’ve occasionally complained on my livestreams about the state of the various online game stores that are out there and how they all carry annoying caveats that make it sometimes tricky to try and figure out where to get your games.

Note: When I refer to “native Linux gaming” in this post I mean officially supported Linux ports.

Valve released their own collectible/trading card game Artifact somewhat recently to a moderate community backlash due to the game’s cost and additional in-game booster packs, which the player can buy to gain additional cards.

So, I decided to finally put together my own website.
