Back home update
So hello again (again). No, I didn’t take that long of a holiday. Anyways I might or might not have done stuff since then.
There’s still time for relaxation, and I used quite a chunk of it on catching sleep (surprising). Other than that, I’ve actually started on my games backlog.
Now I kinda have to tell the context for that. See, before this, I bought an external hard drive bay, which allowed me to expand my storage without buying an nvme drive (which I sadly missed out on when it was affordable). Then I just bought second hand HDD, since I’m not looking to store any critical data on it (I have a proper external HDD for that purposes). I thought about it for a while, and realised I can just migrate all the games I have on the laptop to the external HDDs (it was getting full from Beamng).
A few hours of transferring games to the HDD (and redownloading some of them), I managed to make space on my laptop. There’s still quite a bit of space, so I thought it would be okay to add a few more games that I might want to play in the future. Notably, I downloaded and played Paper Trail. I bought this game before on a deep discount, but never remembered to download and play it. It’s quite a nice puzzle game, the world it is set in is a world of papers, and you can fold it to reveal pathways or items on the other side of the paper. Pretty nice gameplay, though I do have trouble on some levels, it has a been a quite a few years since I played puzzle games.
There’s also other games I tried playing, including Portal. Now that one I forgot how I got it. Was it a deep discount or was it free? I can’t really remember much.
Anyways, that’s all I think I want to write here. Might or might not make more blogposts in the near future. Not promising though.

Another (small) site update, why not
The changes this time aren’t that significant like the time I switched to readable.css from my personal css. I made the contacts section in my about page more consistent. I also added Signal and Delta Chat on the list, although I still haven’t linked my actual contact yet (if you press on the link it’ll just redirect to the respective messenger’s website).
Other than that I made this website use sans-serif instead of serif for its font (for context, sans roughly means none, serif is tail, so sans-serif is the font without a tail i.e. the little things that poke out when using Times New Roman). How is a bit too technical for me to put here, but long story short I have to rebuild my blogposts in entirety to make the change. This may or may not make a lot of duplicates in the rss feed. I just want to say sorry in advance.
Just a quick update
If you paid attention to this blog before, then you’d realise that there was a blog post that was unfortunately deleted, partly due to the shenanigans I’ve done yesterday to spice up the blog page (just made the footer consistent with the rest of the website, no really). Not sure whether I’d re-release it in the future, it’s just about why I made my bluesky account, and there’s probably a lot that I have to update and check if I want to release it again.
Other than that, I’ve actually made a freshrss account over on private.coffee (shoutout to them) and migrated my feeds over from the app I use on the phone (I was using Capy Reader, it can also use freshrss, so that’s neat). It’s mostly done, though there are a few feeds that can’t be parsed when I imported my opml. I don’t read much on the ones that failed, so I just thought of it as spring cleaning. I’d probably want to reorganise my feed further on a later date.
So I guess that’s it. Oh yeah, I forgot. I have a blogpost in the drafts about a book festival I went to last week, but that might take a while as I’m barely halfway through what I wrote down after the trip (and that’s not to mention the proofreading). Anyways, I have a test in less than 3 hours that I still haven’t started studying for, and I would like to at least go through the slides to make sure I’m not completely screwed :P
So I changed this website a bit
Hello again, it’s not really a long time since the last blog post, and I’ve been up to something. I finally had motivation to clean up my website and create a fresh new look for it!
Admittedly, the css is kinda copied from somewhere (design is not my passion). I’ve taken things from readable.css (and by taken, I mean using it without modifications), but I would like to change a few aspects once I have the mental energy to edit the website again. For now at least everything looks consistent (if you would be so kind not to point out that the title for the blog is under the navbar compared to the root website).
Oh, and that means I can use this blog instead of bearblog huh. I mean there’s more freedom here on what I can do, at the cost of managing posts from the command line. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not /bad/ per se, it’s just that for this place I would need to have the ssh keys on the device that I would want to edit or create a post. Would probably need to setup that now that I’m actually motivated to do this.
And if you’re wondering, yes, yes I’m procrastinating on my assignments with this :P
Edit 4th Jun 2025: Changed the title for this website because it invalidated the rss feed
