All issues my wife's old #Kindle suffered from disappeared the moment I installed #KOReader . It's fast again, the faded screen is gone and, since she got a new #ereader , it's (synced with) mine now - until the eldest claims it.

My love for public transport withers on days like this when on the way up the train 'might not' ride to the end stop (it didn't) and now I had to switch trains three times and wait 45 minutes for a 12 minute ride.

This month I played three spoopy games: Paranormasight, Resident Evil (Remake) and Silent Hill. I didn't particularly vibe with REmake, especially its first half. Silent Hill, on the other hand, was absolutely superb.

Back from the optometrist and my eyes got worse once again. (sigh) Yes, my work involves a screen 8 hours a day. Yes, most of my hobbies involve screens. Only way forward I see is making that 20-20-20 rule a habit.

Haven't been keeping up with reading this year, so I started to lag behind on my bare minimum of one book a month. To get back in shape, I finished three this month and currently browsing my vast #Calibre database for a fourth one.

Exactly 10 years ago today, KisekiWiki was founded by @gu4n.bsky.social.

Now, 10 years later, its ≈5000 pages have all been transferred to Falcom Wiki, where they keep increasing and becoming richer as Nihon Falcom's epic story continues.

Happy 10th Anniversary to KisekiWiki!

I wish I was better at using #GIMP . Is there a trick to unlearning decades of #Photoshop experience to get comfortable with GIMP?

Profile bio checks out; I forgot my earphones and microfibre cloth, but not my ereader. Back to P. Djéli Clark's The Master of Djinn, gripping enough to not be disturbed by surrounding noise and dirty glasses.

Goosebumps during the #DragonQuest7 Reimagined reveal! Finished the 3DS version recently enough not to be interested in immediately picking it up, but it sure looks great. #NintendoDirect

Over the (15) years we've been together my wife and I have been joking that unlike her I maxed out my luck stat, but nothing drives home that idea than landing the last fish and painting she'd been looking for for ages the moment I take over the controller. #AnimalCrossingNewHorizon

Finished #Lufia2 last night. Loved the unconventional dungeon designs, the overall pacing, the music and that ending in particular. It has soul and it's a classic for a good reason.

I never found out the root issue of my #homeserver reboots, but thankfully a new SSD and a fresh #Proxmox installation fixed whatever caused it. It's been running like a charm ever since I turned it back on, even throughout the holiday.

Good news: the Kiseki Wiki is migrating away from Fandom.

The better news? Our friends at Ys Wiki are joining us to collectively form the Falcom Wiki, your future home for all Falcom lore.

Paused my #Lufia2 playthrough to give the #TrailsInTheSky1st demo a spin. It's really impressive in every regard and I hope it'll do well.

Got somewhat back into a rhythm after my amazing 4-week trip through #Japan . Even though it was pretty challenging combining the heat, crowdedness, travelling with two kids and an ambitious itinerary, I had an absolute blast.

Even in Spanish, I can tell why Le Guin's prose is so praised. No wasted words, no flowery descriptions of pristine waters, surging from the mountains of fluffanor, where fafnor son of fofnar once walked and danced. My attention span just ain't there anymore, so the conciseness is much appreciated.

In the past week, I travelled through Aomori, Hakodate, Shiraoi, Sapporo and Otaru. Now I'm on my way back to Tokyo from Kamakura to unwind for the final days of this amazing #Japan trip.

Manifesting the Shin Megami Tensei IV / IV: Apocalypse / Strange Journey HD Remaster combo bundle like what Atlus did for Etrian Odyssey for tomorrow's Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase.

It should probably be priced more responsibly relative to how they handled EO, but if not... I'll still pay up...

Taking the first train to Nara to trek through the quietude of its park was a blissful experience after being huddled together with fellow tourists for days. #Japan #JapanPhotography

If I scan the NFC tag on the door to the kids' room it disables the motion sensor, dims the lights to a warm colour and slowly fades in brown noise while playing music box versions of my favourite game music on an old speaker hooked up to an old phone with a cracked screen.

I love #HomeAssistant .

The only thing I regret about the #SteamDeck is that I didn't get one sooner. It's so comfortable compared to my other handhelds and it plays pretty much everything I've thrown at it. I wasn't planning to, but I've already started and (re)played games I already bought for other platforms.

All right, pretty much everything on the #homeserver is running again and running the way I want it to. Yay!

Cherry on the cake is that I finally sat down to organise my (but mostly my wife's) ebooks in #Calibre . Once I'd tweaked the metadata source plug-ins in a way that worked for me, it was
