GenAI has killed my job for me
It has been a while since I last wrote here, at least a few months. I also left my site unfinished even though it’s functional enough – I swear I’m going to finish it eventually! It might have somethi...

Steam, cementerio de amistades jugonas
Pasa algo curioso con Steam, y es que para algunes de nosotres ha llegado al punto en el que nuestras cuentas tienen edad para comprar alcohol legalmente– así de viejes somos. Pocas redes sociales han...
Más allá de Krystaline
Krystaline es yo, yo soy Krystaline. Es, si tuviera que llamarla de alguna forma, mi truesona[^1]. Es divertido, porque igual que la de mucha gente, empezó siendo goals– pero la dragona que empecé a v...
The danger of nested hyperfixations
Oh my god, it has been almost a whole month since the last time I posted— I swear I haven’t forgot, there’s an explanation! You know I’m ADHD, I’ve talked about it multiple times already. And while it...
One match a day keeps n00bness away
Last week I reached one whole year playing Rocket League everyday. That’s it, that’s the whole post; have a good da— Through last year there was a few occasions where I had to wake up early to play a ...
Super Woden: Rally Edge is a true hidden gem
A few years back a Spanish dev dropped Super Woden GP 2, a game quite mentioned on racing games circles for being something fresh. It was an absolute throwback to early racing arcades, with a fixed is...
Linux is still not for me
It’s no secret that Windows has been in an amazing spree of self-destruction, with each release being worse than the last: Windows 11, Copilot, ads everywhere, half-assed features and bugs as far as t...
5 music albums from my 2025
After reading Jedda’s recap of last year’s music and Monocyte’s post with album recommendations, I thought “and why not both?”. So take this as kind of a quote and reply to both. ♡ For the over 24k sc...
Being hard to gift for
I’m so bad at receiving gifts; like really, really bad. Last Christmas my partner and sister teamed up to gift me something without me knowing, and that’s no good. And I don’t mean it in a good way, b...
My Default Apps for 2025
When I joined Bear Blog I couldn’t stop sneaking and reading Jedda’s posts, which included some like this. As a certified nerd, I’m pretty often changing my workflows and that includes the default app...
Clicks Communicator is my first hyperfocus of 2026
The hyperfocus cycle has begun, yet again, and pretty soon this year. Some of you might know how obsessed I am with PKB phones, going as far as getting a Blackberry Classic Q20 last year just to have ...
2025 Life Rewind: Living like I'm riding the Ferrari Red Force
What a year this has been. Almost as hard as a rollercoaster than Red Force, the only I rode when we went to Port Aventura a few months ago. No, wait a second– actually it’s a pretty good comparison: ...
Picross was the unexpected MVP this year: 2025 Gaming Recap
2025 will not be remembered as the year I finished many new (unplayed) games. Actually, I never was one to finish many of her games, but if you take Picross and Metroids out of the equation… damn, it ...
It's hard to feel proud when nobody cares
I need to start this entry stating that this isn’t by any means finger-pointing my closest friends and mutuals, but the only way I can find to vent about this topic that I’ve been through all my life....
Little nice surprises
A long-time friend of mine spent last November on Japan, and I’m not jealous. Not at all. Before going, he asked me if I wanted him to look for something, and obviously the answer was Metroid games an...
Pokémon Legends Z-A finally gets it right
Last September I took the bait and finally purchased a Switch 2 in advance to Metroid Prime 4. I know I could have played on my Switch 1 or even emulated it for improved performance and blahblahblah, ...
I can't get excited for anything, anymore
It’s a recurring joke that if you’re a Ferrari fan, you’re up for disappointment. They’re the most renowned team ever in F1, and yet a mix of higher-ups’ egos, bureaucracy and pride make them a bunch ...
My quest to find the best Switch 2 grip/case
Ever since I got the Switch 2 around 2 months ago I knew I was going to get a grip eventually for obvious reasons. You know, first of all a 500€ device so slim and unprotected doesn’t fit well with my...
