2025 - Week 04

  • 🧶 My friend finally received the gift I built for him as part of a Secret Santa, you can see the pictures on my mastodon profile. I’ve tackled a few projects like this in 2024 and it’s been stimulating, although just like programming or I guess any other activity, I drastically underestimated the amount of time it took me.

  • 🎮 I bought a Steam Deck at the end of last year and I really like it. I was finally able to finish Hades (although my understanding is that I still have to do a few runs to get the full story). My backlog of games keeps growing but it’s a nice problem to have. I’ve been switching between Diablo IV and Resident Evil 2 this week.

  • 📰 After reading their content for a little while when they popped-up on social media, I decided to subscribe to 404 media. I still need to learn how to be OK with skipping some articles when I have too much to read, but 2025 feels like the year to start supporting independent publications more directly, so I’ll be looking for a few more in the upcoming weeks.

  • 🎥 We finished season 2 of Evil and it’s still a good TV show, even if I don’t recommend watching it before bed. Fear the night absolutely sucked, but I’m glad I’m making a dent in the list of movies I’ve added in my watch list after seeing a piece on TikTok. Wicked Little Letters was amazing though, but I’m probably biased when it comes to Olivia Colman.

  • 🏃🏻‍♂️ Missing one homework run this week, but ran 10k on Saturday while chatting with a friend about Mahjong and various other topic. I felt lazy when I woke up at 6h50 to go to my run, but I’m glad I went, even if it was freezing (-2ºC when I woke up!)
