The new prices are: For some reason, they’ve decided…

Continue reading →: Mistborn & Stormlight Updates!
Mistborn movie(s), and a Stormlight Archive TV series are in the works! The Stormlight Archive is one of my favorite series, so I’m really excited. I just finished Stephen King’s 11/22/63 and was looking for my next read. Mistborn it is!

Continue reading →: 2025 Fantasy Football RoundupSince I posted my drafts at the beginning of the season, I figured I’d post an update on what happened in those leagues: From the first draft, I won the championship! I ended the regular season in third (9-5). I also ended with the third most points for, and second…

Continue reading →: Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles – Chapter 4: In the Name of LoveThis chapter has a lot of JP grinding for the 100% class achievement, so I sped that up 8x. Cutscenes and most dialogue at normal speed. The Midlights Deep fights are slowed down to 2x speed. Yes, I know I missed a couple of treasure items, and I forgot to…

Continue reading →: Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles – Chapter 3: The ValiantThe story continues! Still really enjoying The Ivalice Chronicles. I know a lot of folks like the War of the Lions, but I now consider this to be the definitive version of the game. Like in the other videos, exploration, menus, and battles sped up 4x for efficiency. Cutscenes and…

Again, I’ve played this game a lot in the past, so my goal here is to just do the full 100% achievements run, which means a lot of grinding. It honestly took a little getting used to in the beginning, but I’ve…

Continue reading →: Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles – Chapter 1: The MeagerI’ve started my Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles playthrough, and I’m loving every minute of it. The original is one of the greatest games of all time, so I was so hyped for this remaster! It does not disappoint. A ton of quality of life upgrades and fully voiced…

Continue reading →: Finished The Stormlight Archive, Built Another App
Finally finished Wind & Truth, to wrap up The Stormlight Archive for a few years (or 6). Absolutely loved the series, and recommend it to any fans of fantasy novels: I also built an app to format ebook highlights into a few different… formats. It takes the raw output from…

Continue reading →: Third 2025 Fantasy Football Draft
The third and final draft was for our Guillotine League, which is a 2 QB league (and scoring favors QBs). Lamar and Allen went before me, so I went with Saquon in the first, and figured I’d still get some decent QBs in the second and third. Overall, I’m good…

Continue reading →: Second 2025 Fantasy Football Draft
I came into this one drafting at the backend (after a second place finish last season), so I wasn’t expecting too much. I think I still did pretty decently though, even with relying heavily on the Chiefs offense: The league’s scoring system has a great balance, but is generally weighted…
