Intent ➡ Preparation ➡ Execution ➡ Post-processing ➡ Result
The smartphone killed the idea of intentional devices. It is every device that you need and more. A phone, an iPod, an internet device. A phone, an iPod, an internet device. A phone, an iPod… you get the point.

Well done. Here are the test results: You are a horrible person. I’m serious, that’s what it says: ‘A horrible person’. We weren’t even testing for that.

Started in the summer of 2001, in an internet cafe (RIP Mister G, you were a great guy!), I used to stay for hours using the site builder web editor that Tripod was giving for their free plans. I used to have a few pages, and unfortunately, only a Halloween-themed version survived and was somehow indexed by the Web Archive. I already had gotten my new nickname on a dotTK TLD, which was neat at the time, because it was free and placed it in the footer, so the site had existed for a more than a year when the snap was saved.

It’s not a secret that many times, the music is what makes the difference between a good game and a great game, and it’s not seldom when the music department saves a pretty bad story. So without further ado, I want to share some songs that I like that are part of various games’ soundtracks. Forza Horizon 4 > ODESZA - A Moment Apart The games in the Forza Horizon

Momentum, a function of mass and velocity, is conserved between portals. In layman’s terms, speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out.
Playing Games on a Sony PlayStation Vita in 2026

It’s been exactly three years since I published my article about the Sony PS Vita so what better thing to do is than pick it out from the drawer where it’s been sitting for a while, play some games on it, see how relevant and usable it’s still in 2026. Half-joking, I did pick up this like a few weeks ago and played with it a few hours.
I didn’t test the PS3 Remote Play functionality of it mostly because I’m too lazy to fire up my PS3, which is currently sitting nicely in its box, but it should work out of the box, I remember I used it like 7-8 years ago, when I got this Vita in the first place.

FATALITY LIVES THE DEADLIEST TOURNAMENT IS BACK WITH ALL THE KOMBATANTS AND THEIR UNIQUE FATALITIES.
We basically skipped this title for a lot because we had so much fun with the Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe fights, and by the time we got tired of that, Injustice was released and we spent a lot of time playing that too.
After a while, I managed to snag this for like £5 from a boot sale, so basically free, and although it was a few years old, it’s still fun to play, especially in the 1vs1 couch mode competition.

Whoever directed this game had a lot of sand in his underpants, otherwise I don’t understand the amount of clunk in this game.
I knew that the story from AC: Valhalla was okay, it was interesting enough to keep you pushing on. This is not the case. We go back in time from Valhalla and discover the story of Basim. His life challenges, the long and arduous path of becoming an Assassin.

Chris Shaw is hosting this month’s IndieWeb carnival, and the theme is “Purpose”. Thanks, Chris, for hosting and for picking a strong theme!
I keep seeing people ranting over the internet about this and that and how everything’s turned sour: games, music, politicians, etc. And while it’s absolutely true, I feel that people somewhat miss the point of the existence of certain entities around us, setting themselves up for failure.
