Since switching over from iOS to Android (see here, here, and here), my first-gen Apple Watch Ultra is lying in a drawer. Even when I was still using an iPhone, I stopped wearing it the moment I bought a proper analogue watch. Except for when I exercised. A few weeks into this Android lifestyle, I started wondering if I want a smartwatch or fitness tracker to pair with this phone. I can't use my Apple Watch because Apple is a pain in the ass and doesn't use proper standards.

I added a new feature to this website: Now Playing. (It is still missing a proper RSS feed, coming soon!) Since I am a lazy fuck, I will probably not fill back in all the games I played this year. But going forward, you can track my gaming sessions and my thoughts on games. I might even start writing proper reviews?

Just finished playing through the campaign of 007 First Light. Absolutely fantastic game. This would be my pick for the Game of the Year so far. The story, the character, the game design, the gameplay. Everything fits! Can't wait for some sort of DLC.

In a recent piece, David Pierce shared this: The Pixel 10 Pro solidified a feeling I’d been having through all of my tests: Android is a better operating system than iOS. Gemini is a useful and usable voice assistant, neither of which you can say about Siri. Android is excellent at sorting and triaging notifications, which meant far fewer buzzes in my pocket.

My latest project is turning my Bazzite-based living-room PC into a multimedia console. It is currently using a 3D-printed case, but I am planning to switch to a Fractal Design Ridge, add a new PSU, a new CPU cooler, and a Flirc USB dongle. After that, I would install Plex and a YouTube client, then use it with an 8BitDo XBOX media remote to replace my Apple TV. There are two reasons I want to replace the Apple TV. The first is that I am slowly leaving the Apple ecosystem.

I am very skeptical of AI. I also use it heavily on a near-daily basis. Currently, I have three paid accounts running: Claude Code through my work, ChatGPT Business through overkill1, and Gemini Pro, which I pay for myself (it comes with 3TB of Google Drive). On top of that, I have a bunch of credits loaded in OpenCode Zen whenever I want to try one of the other models (e.g. Qwen, Kimi K2), and because I use Kagi, I somehow also have AI there.

KDE Plasma 6.7 Beta arrives with Plasma Bigscreen, new Union theme system gamingonlinux.com Another big exciting addition is Plasma Bigscreen, which is KDE's attempt to make Plasma look good on bigger TVs, HTPCs and set-top boxes. Something that might even be a lot better when docking the Steam Deck and for the Steam Machine / Steam Frame when they release too. I've been wondering if somehow using one of my Gaming PCs connected to my TV would make for a great entertainment box, too.

In case you were wondering if I like the new season of Diablo IV, this is my current character: I am following this guide. It is the first time since release that I touched the game, and back then I didn't even get through the story. Now, you can see by the amount of hours I played on this character how much I enjoy the game. It is also the first time ever in the history of a Diablo game that I am playing a seasonal character. I never really understood the point, but now I do.
