Updated on 2026-07-10; it’s been quite a long time! I’ve been meaning to write more for this website, but alas, lots of personal things have been happening keeping me from doing so.

Programming

My girlfriend and I are going to start working out an idea for a game! I think I’ll write it in Rust, using Bevy. It’ll likely be a point-and-click adventure game with some of her OC’s. I’m really excited, as I’ve never properly finished a game before, and having someone working on with me will be very motivating.

My C compiler has been in the backlog for…a very, very, very long time due to aforementioned personal things, and I’m hoping I’ll get back to it eventually.

Crochet

I’m now working on a baby blanket for my girlfriend’s sister’s child! It’s the biggest thing I’ve made so far, so I’ve been slowly progressing as I find free time. The stitch is so simple and pretty, and I might make a full-sized blanket with a bigger yarn after!

Reading

I’ve gone a little lighter on reading this year, but I’ve read some wonderful books that I plan to write actual blog posts about, namely Jane Eyre and Resisting AI: An Anti-fascist Approach to Artificial Intelligence. The former was a lovely feminist narrative with incredible prose and characterization, and the latter was vindicating and has given me a way of better describing my problems with deep learning and what it does to society.

Games

I had some friends get into Deadlock, and while I’ve never played a MOBA, I enjoyed it, mainly playing Paige, Mina, Victor, and Abrams. My computer really struggled at anything below minimum settings, and I realized reading patch notes every few days is exhausting, so I put it down.

I played a little bit of Pokemon Champions on release, and the novelty and feeling of puzzle-solving when planning turns was fun, but similarly to Deadlock, tracking metagames and patch notes is something I do not currently have time for, and I’d rather engage with media at my own pace and not the pace of the developers.

A game that has stuck with me, however, is Rimworld. Dwarf Fortress has been one of my favorite games for over a decade, and Rimworld is a game that I’ve been meaning to get into for a long, long time, and now that I have, I can say that it is addictive and charming, much in the way DF is, but differently. I’ve shared many a story of the rise and fall of my colonies with my friends.

Music

I got to go see Ichiko Aoba in concert, and it was amazing! One of the best musical experiences I’ve had.
