Robotic Entertainment: The End of an Era
In case you weren’t aware, Chuck E. Cheese’s is phasing out the remainder of their robotic performers. By the end of this year (2023), all stages will be ripped out, all bots completely destroyed beyond recognition per corporate policy. It’s taken a long time to reach this point and the story of how we got […]

Mass tech layoffs
As if it wasn’t already clear, tens if not hundreds of thousands of tech workers have been and will be laid off in a cascade caused by the flailing husk of what used to be Twitter. To be clear, not all of the companies doing it are in dire straits. Most of them are posting […]

Pet Quest
I downloaded this mostly because I wanted to get a feel for what was already out there when fishing for ideas for Jerako: Walk With Me! Sometimes knowing what’s already out there helps you understand what people expect and therefore want to see. And for what it is, it’s cute, but not really the sort […]

5 Retro Kids Show Themes That Went Harder Than They Needed To
Note that this isn’t a list of "themes that went hard" or else Thundercats would of course take the top spot, but despite what you might think watching some random part of it, that show trusted its age demographic with a LOT. I’ll also say that Silverhawks deserves and does not get just as much […]

World of Jerako accessibility update
In updating the page for Jerako: Walk With Me!, I ended up realizing my big accessibility improvement a while back failed to add alt text to all of the images. This will slowly be done across the site, but some pages will be more effort than others as I do various bits of cleanup to […]

The Legend of Dragoon best character uses
Okay, at this point we all know we’re not getting a remake of The Legend of Dragoon. Sorry, not sorry, it’s not happening. I’d like it, the rest of the fanbase would like it, but it’s not financially viable and Sony has been furtively exiting the back doors in blonde wigs for decades trying to […]

Marmite
Normally, I wouldn’t do a food review, but as an American, I decided to do it for reasearch purposes. It started with an article and continued with a novelization of the original Final Fantasy I can’t talk about here, but I decided I needed to put my money where my mouth is and take the […]

“World of Jerako” page updated!
The World of Jerako page has been updated to add Jerako: Walk With Me! I’m glad to add this tool in progress to my future offerings. The best part is it’s pretty achievable! So it’ll probably be ready before really anything else that’s not already out. Getting a small window into Jerako out to the […]

Why “The Perfect Gift” is an awful tale
Around the holidays, a million variations of this story under various names always crawl out of the woodwork. A man and a woman love each other very much, but rather than babies happening, both of them sell their most prized possession to get each other an accessory for the other’s prized possession. Yes, the whole […]

Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro
Since my second Sony SmartWatch 3 has died (my Sony SmartWatch 2 is still trucking), I found it necessary to get another watch to alternate charging with. As far as battery goes, the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro is the only one on the market not advertised to last "until supper, maybe, if you leave it […]
