Game-Key Card, and a broader conversation on media preservation
DISCLAIMER: this is an opinion piece but I will do my best to accurately portray the state of things as well as keep anecdotal evidence to a minimum. My goal is to present a nuanced take on the matter It’s been a while since Nintendo announced that the Switch 2 will be taking advantage of…

Does Dragon Ball have a physical/special split?
Some of you reading this will know exactly what I’m talking about. But here’s some context for those who don’t: In the Pokémon video game franchise, the Pokémon have stats that are used to determine their attack power and defensive capabilities. However, the attack and defense stats are split between physical and special. The attacks…

Breakdown of LEGO’s 3D printed pieces
With the annoucement of the 10361 Holiday Express Train came a lot of hullabaloo surrounding the new toy train element. Notably because it would be the first commercially sold 3D printed LEGO piece to be available to the market. I know a thing or two about 3D printing so I wanted to talk about it…

The Gang Watches Nezha 2
Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West (Or should I say queen?) shows up in Nezha 2 and receives the Purah-from-Tears-of-the-Kingdom treatment. So I decided to draw a funny little comic of what it would be like if the pilgrimage crew went to go see the movie. For context, in the XYJ lore, the…

How to paste plain text with ctrl+shift+v in Microsoft PowerPoint

But a lot of them aren’t as straight forward to…

Someone should fix the Wikipedia page for The Magic Lotus Lantern
Update 6/4/2025: I initially wrote this back in March of 2024, I have since then done way more research and will be posting an update to this subject detailing new information I’ve uncovered. Interestingly, as of April 2025, the Wikipedia page has also updated its page, but mostly in the grammatical and structural sense. The…

Traffic rules that aren’t intuitive because people suck
The other day, I was about to drive into a tunnel and I needed to get into the left lane. There was a gap in the lane in the left where I could merge into. So I turned on my turn signal to initiate the merging process. As soon as my blinkers turned on, the…

The normal curve of being impressed
I saw some Olympic gymnastics routines the other day and I found myself feeling indifferent. Which upon self reflection made me feel odd and somewhat egotistical . These are professional OLYMPIC level athletes performing feats of athleticism I can never even hope to achieve. And yet, I was just, not impressed? This didn’t make sense…
