My 5 Worst and Best Purchases of 2018

One of the best things to come out of tracking every purchase I made of 2018 was that I got to see my biggest mistakes and successes. A purchase could have been good or bad for a rainbow of possibilties. Reasons for bad purchases include the cost, the functional use, a scam, etc! Reasons for good purchases include getting that bang for buck, generating fantastic memories, making orgasmic sounds as I consume the food item in question, etc. In each listing I will mention each price, when I bought it, and why is was so bad or good.

A Review of My 2018 New Years Resolutions

2018 is almost over and I thought I’d do a reflection point on the blog post I made at the start of the year about what I wanted to do better on. So here’s how I did!

Super Smash Bros Ultimate: A Full Review

Smash Ultimate: Everyone is Here, but at what cost?

My most anticipated game of the year and favorite video game franchise of all time dropped a massive game this December and I’ve been playing it for a large quantity of hours. I’ve made about 4-5 posts about Ultimate on this blog already so I’ll spare the introduction and get right to what I think about this game.

Spoilers disclaimer paragraph: frankly I didn’t play Adventure mode enough to give serious spoilers but I’m about 8 hours in that. I will assume you know the whole roster. Not bad spoilers wise here!

My Favorite Video Game Songs #18 – 2018 Edition

While there’s nothing like the classics, it should be known that contemporary music can be just as influential and impactful. Whether it pulls on retro roots or delivers jaw-dropping orchestral pieces, we’ve seen a large collection of high quality music that we can expect from the video game industry and I am particularly excited to share some music that moved me or hyped me up in some way. 

Disclaimer: No repeat entries from the same game to keep this list interesting!! (Ordered by release date)

My Mouse Pad Project + A Look at my Desk Setup

As sort of a life update I recently moved, which I often find is a fantastic opportunity for breeding new attempts at creative redesigns of places in heavy use. Being on the computer every day for my foreseeable future, I thought I’d maximize what I could with the budget I had to make this an enjoyable place to be.

One measure I took was making a custom art mouse pad that aims to add personality to my station. Months ago I also built myself a computer that is designed for making the workspace fun and more capable while also giving room for any improvements or customizations I want to add in coming years. 

In this post I’ll have an OG picture of the mousepad I created as well as a look at my new desk layout so you can see the pad in the heat of it as well as the rest of the look I went for.
