Of Remakes and Reimaginings
In the grim darkness of the far future, Pokemon is still trash. I didn’t expect to be writing an article about Pokemon. I thought I’d scrubbed my entire life of this stupid franchise after the whole Pokedex fiasco; after all, at 23 years of age it just isn’t worth putting time and energy into aContinue reading “Of Remakes and Reimaginings”
Ramblings #3: or, an excuse to procrastinate
Hey. Let’s just cut to the chase, shall we? We’re growing. A couple of weeks ago I was ecstatic to have gathered around nine followers for this blog. As of this writing that number has nearly tripled to a healthy 26, which is about as large as a small classroom. If you ask me, that’sContinue reading “Ramblings #3: or, an excuse to procrastinate”
Awful Space Adventures in Stellaris
…what I really wanted to talk about is a particular story I’ve had while trying to learn this hulking beast of a game. Grab some popcorn, while I recount to you the tale of The Second War of Yapathi Subjugation, or: The Titanic Testicles of the Yapathi Independent Commonwealth.
Incoherent ramblings, part 2
Hey, I hope you guys have been doing well. I’ve decided to spend the last few days taking a break from writing, following about two days straight of just gushing about Battle Sisters on paper and fighting with WordPress’ WYSIWYG editor. I’ve been filling the time with a bunch of other things, most of whichContinue reading “Incoherent ramblings, part 2”
Incoherent Wednesday ramblings
Hey. There’s not too much happening this week, apart from Twitter melting down about a Fortnite player advocating for parents to take responsibility for the behaviour of their children (yes, this is a controversial statement in the bizarro-world that is Twitter-dot-com), and a bunch of shitposters are brutally murdering a multi-billion dollar hedge fund inContinue reading “Incoherent Wednesday ramblings”
They’re finally here!
Last week, I played some Minecraft while climbing up the walls in anticipation of the arrival of my Battle Sisters kit. This week, after a shipping delay and a brief stint in this week’s national coronavirus apocalypse province, my Battle Sisters kit actually arrived, and my girls were just as beautiful as I thought they’dContinue reading “They’re finally here!”
I messed with Minecraft world generation for a little bit
It’s been a hot minute. I was planning to write a post about assembling some Warhammer 40K miniatures around this time, though having the actual miniatures delivered to my doorstep is taking longer than I expected (as in, I ordered them last month and they’ve just been shipped today. I’ll chalk it up to theContinue reading “I messed with Minecraft world generation for a little bit”
IT’S OVER
I meant the holidays, not 2020, though I guess the title could fit both events. I’m not going to join in on the chorus of people cursing the entirety of last year– it’s a tired meme and if I hate anything it’s tired memes. Instead, let’s talk about something more close to home: Food. OddsContinue reading “IT’S OVER”
I watched a man eat himself to death and I need to think about my life for a second
Have you heard of the tale of Nikocado Avocado? He’s probably one of the more recognizable faces of Youtube’s mukbang community (that is, a community of people who film themselves eating food for their audience), and with good reason: he’s kind of insane incredibly hard for me to figure out. The dude basically went fromContinue reading “I watched a man eat himself to death and I need to think about my life for a second”

This is the obligatory introductory post. I’m Node. I’m a sysadmin who hangs around the internet and plays video games. I stream on Twitch (though, as of this writing I’m currently on hiatus. Eventually I’ll come back.) I like MMOs and stuff. I’m making this blog to sate my desire to create more structured, longformContinue reading “o/”

I hear you. I’ve unchecked every single sharing option and all the social media buttons except the “like” button.
Oh, nice! I must’ve unchecked it when I first created this site. You know, for the sake of minimalism.
