Games I've Played in 2026:
- Riichi City
- I really wish this wasn't a Gacha game, but other than that its been super fun. Learning something with as much depth as Riichi Mahjong, with the sometimes annoying sometimes engaging luck aspect as well, truly a unique experience. ...but after a while it kinda got stale. If I had friends who played I'd definitely enjoy it more, but just played ranked online is losing its charm rather quickly.
- Rorschach's River
- Not that far into it and it's been super difficult so far. But I really appreciate the handcraftedness of the puzz, it's really good.
- Minesweeper Online
- I blame YouTube for getting me hooked on numbers. The 'one more game' aspect is incredibly big. I wanna speedrun and go faster and the trophy system is really cool as well. I've been climbing the ranks a bit and that's fun. I even threw the devs a bit of money to help work on the servers and get a premium account to rank up a lil faster.
- MINIGOLFLE
- Daily game Mini Golf. Not really much to say other than it's my current fav daily game.
- Terraria 1.4.5: Bigger & Boulder Update
- I played the new Skyblock seed until Hardmode and I really enjoyed it... at first. But I def should've played skyblock on journey mode to make the constant farming more bearable. And since I felt like I was missing out on a lot of the new stuff by play skyblock, I switched to do a Master Mode playthrough on the 'planetoid' secret seed. I'm still really early in this new playthrough but so far all the new stuff I've seen is really cool.
- Parallel Dungeons
- A fun lil game about fighting in multiple worlds at once. The one in-game music theme is real fun too.
- workworkwork
- Last year I played the preview chapter of the book and thought it was fine. Then it won an award for best pencil & paper style puzzle game (over Sudokuvania!, which I loved); so I gave it another shot. And I'm so freakin' glad I did. This is a truly incredible mind-bending puzzle book. I'm about halfway through and amount of eureka moments so far as the book gets harder is just incredible. I truly get why it won, well deserved.
- Super Sudokoid: Final Transmission
- Not nearly as intimidating as last year's Digits of Despair, but damn the new Sudoku + Metroidvania combo genre is so awesome. I played this one all in one incredibly long and rewarding session and had a lot of fun with it. (Tho as rewarding as it was I definitely should've taken an extra day or two.) Overall a truly delightful and fantastic experience to solve. One of the boss puzzles, 'Queens & Bishops', alone was one of the best sudoku puzzles I've ever solved and there's like 10 bosses that all delivered as well. I thought I'd be done at around 5 hours but everytime I thought I was close to finishing it delivered more and more depth until I eventually actually finished at 7.5 hours.
- Panic Floor!!
- I really wanted to like Panic Floor!!; having a fast tight and really difficult pixel art precision platformer with a bunny girl in a bikini hoppin' and sliding around, where you can't just get the level's gimmick once cuz multiple laps are often required, all sounds great but unfortunately... The door keys aren't automatic and the air has ice physics both for no reason. There are frequent game crashes, keyboard controls don't work, steam input is broken, no control remapping. And none of the steam achievements work. Like this game could've been super great but I sadly refunded it.
- Opus Magnum: De Re Metallica
- This DLC is really tough, especially after such a long break from when I last played the base game. But I'm really enjoying playing Opus Magnum again, it's peak optimization, number go up, game. (err I guess number go down would be more acurate, but you get it.)

Shows I've Watched in 2026:
- Common Side Effects S1 ★★★★☆
- I loved Scavenger's Reign and this show's got the same animators, and while it didn't start off too great. The ending did a great job of pulling me more into the world. It's got renewed for Season 2 and I'm super excited to watch more of it.
- The Mighty Nein S1 ★★★★★
- Started watching from a friend's rec. Love the animation so much, I love seeing different effects and watching the style. All the characters are amazing and their stories intertwine beautifully. Nott won me over early with the stretching like a cat in ep2. But genuinely all the characters are handled really well. I hugely recommend this to anyone who's okay with gore, nudity, and other adult themes. Lost most of the time with good shows I'm incredibly excited for the next season and I want so much more of these characters.
- Adventure Time S5 ★★★★★
- Definitely the best season so far, lots of actual lore happening finally, really been look forward to that since I started this rewatch and it's finally happening. It's great actually watching all the episodes instead of just seeing them occassionally whenever they came on like when I was a kid.
- Adventure Time S6 ★★★★☆
- Not nearly as good as S5, but it's definitely real fun and still has way more plot episodes than S1-4 which is nice.
- Fear Factor: House of Fear S1 ★★☆☆☆
- As a kid, I kinda liked Fear Factor. When I saw they went with an elimination island style reality game headed by Johnny Knoxville, I immediately thought it'd be like an IRL Total Drama Island. The pacing and editing were honestly dogshit, but the challenges and the players were at least mostly fun to watch.
- A.P. Bio S1 ★★★★★
- Super fun show to watch, with amazing 'Community' vibes and an awesome cast.
- Taskmaster NZ S6 ★★★★★
- I freaking love Taskmaster & Taskmaster NZ, and them providing the episodes for free on YouTube is amazing. This season is one of the best in the show.
- The Pitt S2 [In Progress]
- Okay I was wrong. Watching the Pitt one week at a time is better than binging the whole season. Even though the season takes place in one in-universe day, it's just better to not stress as much as the characters. And like holy fuck I thought the first season was good but gods damn Season 2 is so freaking good like wow. Love this freaking show.
- Fallout S1 [In Progress]
- Super camp so far. Not what I was expecting from this show at all.

Movies I've Watched in 2026:
- Code 3 ★★★★☆
- A mix of fun and too fucking real; following a paramedic just trying to do their job. I really liked this movie and the actors did a truly amazing job.
- Predator: Badlands ★★★★★
- Real fun twist on the Predator movies, fun moments with the cast without holding back on the brutality.
-
Books I've Read in 2026:
- The Saga of Larten Crepsley #2 - Ocean of Blood ★★★★☆
- Another book in the Cirque du Freak prequel series. This one was deliciously sad and awful, as Darren Shan just loves to do. Not only is that his specialty, but Larten was basically alone at the start of the original Cirque du Freak series so meeting characters that seem important to him that I'm unfamiliar with has a sense of looming tragedy that is handled excellently in this book.
- The Saga of Larten Crepsley #3 - Palace of the Damned ★★★★☆
- Definitely a faster start than the last two in the series, which I appreciate. But it then returns to the series' normal pace. The character moments shine way more than the story itself, but like the others in the series, if you like the world then this is another good addition to it.
- The Saga of Larten Crepsley #4 - Brothers to the Death [In Progress]
- I haven't actually started this one yet but I am excited for it after the last book.
