Okay : title speaks for itself. Today (and most of the day) my girlfriend and me went into the hospital. She went into labor, and after a whole ordeal, she gave birth to our daughter. Interesting times are ahead... :)

Two things I blogged about earlier are starting to merge. Unfortunately... It's...about a year and a half ago that my girlfriend and me started looking to buy a house. We found that in summer 2018, and due to circumstances only moved since April last year. Since then, we've been renovating...

Taleweaver's top games of 2019 Well...the end of the year is upon us once again, so in somewhat of a tradition I'll nag you with what games I like playing this year. Previous entries: 2018, 2017, 2016,2015,2014 This year, I gotta mention that I moved and renovated since about April. Meaning...
Okay...normally I'd post a steam review of this, but the problem is that I got it for free on epic's game store and they don't do user reviews. So I'm plumbing it down here just for giggles. Read at your discretion...this is just me ordering my thoughts on it more than me caring about an...

This is a bit of a sequel to a rant I made here. It's okay to skip this blog: this is personal stuff I've got to rant. INTRODUCTION It's been a year since my girlfriend and me officially bought a house. However, the then-owners needed our money to buy a house on their own, so they rented their...

We really need a punching bag here at work. A literal one: one you can just hit to lay off some steam or vent some aggression. So in absence of that, I'm going to use my secret power of...IMAGINATION!!!! Imagine an open field. Imagine it full of nice grass, waving in the wind. Underneath the...

Hmm...I wasn't planning on writing a sequel to this earlier blog, but today I've read something that baffles me. There's a new version of monopoly coming out that manages to get EVEN WORSE than it's predecessor. And not a slight bit worse...it's as if the makers deliberately intended it to be a...

Right...time for a writing on something I would think to be self-evident. It apparently isn't. Rather than making it a reply to someone, I write it down so I can refer to it in case someone makes the same mistake. Here goes... This blog is mine WHOA!!!!! Is your mind blown, yet? It's true...

Those not living under a rock probably heard of this thing called "brexit". It's short for "the United Kingdom wants to leave the European Union". It's hard to believe, but this whole thing started over three years ago. As...something of a joke, if I read things right. The then prime minister...

So...no long winding post this time. Just this message: my girlfriend's pregnant with our first child. She is due in January next year. (EDIT: her gender is no longer a secret at this point) Can't really add much aside from "I'll probably be a lot less on the forums after that". I'm sure y'all...

This is sort of a follow-up of a previous rant. In there, I stabbed a bit at some popular board games of my youth. And really: there are some BAD board games out there. Games that are just being popular because people don't know alternatives. And because learning games can mean actually...

I moved to another province a couple months ago. One of the perks was that it'd be closer to my best friend. And since contact is better - we've been going to bars a few times, both with and without our girlfriends - I came to ask him about this relatively new hobby I got: board gaming...
So it's that time of year again: lists of the past year throughout. I'm no exception: this is the fifth time I'm posting a ranked lists of the best video games I've played in 2018. Previous entries: 2017,2016,2015,2014 Before I get to my best games, I should mention a few things that I've...

(note: yes, this is another Trump hate-rant. Don't like it, don't continue reading. I could've made it in a political thread, but there's nothing to discuss.) I remember where I was when Trump the moment got elected. Well...more specifically: when I first heard that Miami went to Trump. Like...

Migration certainly is a hot political topic. Where the political left sees refugees from wars and natural disasters, the right sees potential criminals and a more restrictive culture. Donald Trump and the Brexit are (at least partially) consequences of people being afraid of the changes within...

I really wasn't going to do a third entry on this, but since the blogs became popular and I continue to experience things with my linux mint thingy, I'll throw some stuff down. Read at your own discretion. (links to part one and to part two). The quest for an audio switcher I mostly...

INTRODUCTION Upon checking through the political thread, I got entangled in a side-discussion about the 2008 housing crisis and buying houses. In part, this was me getting triggered by someone making an invalid claim on something that I'm rather knowledged about. In part, it was because my...

Okay, I've finally done it: I went linux. Not the "lemme take this prehistoric laptop, throw some distro on it, watch grub in action, install steam and a few games, game on it, feel like I'm making a statement and then put it back to gather dust" kind of "going linux". I installed it on my main...

INTRODUCTION (THE PAST) To my own surprise, it's been nearly five years since Valve pretty much openly declared war on microsoft. Valve argued that microsoft has a monopoly on the home PC market, and can (ab)use that power to play valve off the market. Microsoft had their own store preinstalled...
