This game was originally released for the Sega Genesis - a console I have never owned, or even seen in real life. However, I had played it for a while via emulator a few years ago. For that reason, I was excited when I realised that it's now available on Nintendo Switch, via the membership there.

... and, let's just say I was not disappointed.

I kind of like solving crossword puzzles, but I'm not very good at it. There's this magazine that does a yearly competition here, though, and it was always kinda a family thing to participate in, ever since I was little. I remember my mom and aunts working together on those puzzles, and when I started to learn how to look up words in books, I ( Read more... )

I couldn't sleep the other night, so I ended up lying in bed reading random stuff on my phone. One of the things I came across, was an article about how Google catalogs your email - including keeping a list of your online shopping history. This is probably not surprising, given how much personal data is collected via Google services, but it somehow ( Read more... )

Are any of you familiar with the Danish band Volbeat?

I had never even heard of them until this morning. It seems I might have missed something amazing, if they’re anything like the song that was played on the radio while I was having breakfast today.

The song is called Lola Montez, and I was hooked within moments when it came on. It’s the kind of ( Read more... )

I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I keep finding new terminal tools that I love. My latest discovery is mpd + ncmpcpp. Getting it set up looked a little bit daunting at first, but it was actually easy enough. And really - this is so much cooler than any of the more “modern”/pretty/often bloated players. Plus, ncmpcpp does everything I want - ( Read more... )

Happy New Year!

In many ways, yesterday was the best New Year’s Eve in many years. Usually, it’s a day that tends to make me thoughtful and sad, but this year I felt so much more hopeful and excited.

As for the day itself... it was pretty quiet here. The original plan was to stay at mom’s place for the New Year, but as she’s still not done with ( Read more... )

I’m not here much during Christmas, but you probably figured that out as I’m even late with this post. Usually, I prefer to post this on the 24th, as that’s the main day of Christmas for me. This year, I did not even open DW/LJ until now - almost at 4am in the morning of the 25th.

I can tell you that Christmas Eve was nice, calm, and wonderful for ( Read more... )

Sometimes, there are lovely things to learn on Dreamwidth. The other day,

You probably figured out already from my last few posts, but I have managed to develop quite an interest in a certain Stephen Hendry. Yes, it still bothers me that I didn't care about snooker in the 1990s, as I would have had my own memories from his career then. I have, however, spent hours and hours lately researching him, watching old match ( Read more... )
