My blog, if you like knowing what goes on in a strangers life. It's a great place to detox from dopamine because god knows nothing interesting is going to be written here...
4th week, January, 2026
Passed the physics exam, I've got a shitter one coming soon, I've got to study and stop coding. Heh.
I house "sat" (is that even gramatically correct?) last week, haven't actually gotten around to making much on the site outside of the new AVOID page, mostly because my CSS skills are so poor I can only make the site look ok (ish) on a 1080p screen, and not on a 768p one. I've got to work on that as 768p is a pretty common resolution and I can't make it unusable on that sort of resolution. You can only check it out for now on the top menu of the "Home" page, because it's not finished yet and I sort of want to hint that. All in all, it was a wasted week but I've done a couple of things.
First, I initially thought that I would not be able to game on a budget 2014 Linux laptop but I've learned of the Streaming feature of Steam, thus I played a lot of Victoria 3 and Motorsport Manager, and fell in love with the former. It's 10 years old and it held up really well, and I've had great fun playing it. This just gave me an ideea. What if I made like a 2000's motorsport inspired page, sort of like an online sports news page, where I can do a sort of lets play disguised as News Articles? Or maybe a team oriented web page where I can mimic a racing team. I'm betting on the other (but if you specifically want to see one or the other, email me at rapadungasite@gmail.com and tell me what you'd like, if you wanna). This isn't a new idea for me as I wanted to do something simmilar to a Workers and Resouces: Soviet Repbulic playthrough, where I'd be more like a weekly report of how my republic is doing, in a wooden soviet style (again, email me if you think it's a good ideea).
I think I've found a way to curb my social media consumption, by logging out of my social media accounts and NOT storing the passwords in a password manager. I didn't consume as much last week as I wasn't logged in my hand me down machine and I've figured it'd be a good way to continue my "Year of(tm) Social Media detox, now complete".
Edit: I initially we're in February, but no. Not yet.
3rd Week, January, 2026
I've been even busier than usual, couldn't really keep up with much. Haven't played games haven't read books (outside of sneakly reading "On Liberty" by John Stuart Mill at uni). I've done some amateurish work in blender for a couople of friends that need it, and honestly it went pretty bad. My 3D moddeling skills haven't really improved since I have not worked that much the past couple of years. But I still make kick-ass renders and I'm more than happy with (some) of them. I've collected a couple more cool sites I want to add to the Cool Sites list, I will get around to updating the page when I get to it.
Haven't really thought about how the site is going to look, and I won't be able to work on it for a couple of months, I've got midterms and I have to lock the fuck in, I don't want to retake any exams. Although I will be house sitting soon, and I might not have my desktop with me, and the laptop I've been given to study can't do much by itself, so all in all I'll probably squeeze some fresh CSS stuff in it.
2nd Week, January, 2026
Happy New Year! I've been busier than I hoped this holiday season, kind of neglected this barren wasteland of a site. But come February I'll get back on the horse.
I've finished Uncharted 1: Drake's Fortune, awful game avoid at all costs, but it felt nice playing something on the old PS3. I've started Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and from the beginning I was taken aback. The game is STUNNING and is so nice playing it compared to the first.
I repaired my car, it's currently still around. It still needs some other unrelated maintenance. This event ruined my student savings and I'm now poor. Doesn't help part-time jobs are all but gone. Oh well, I'm going to figure something out eventually.
That's it from me for now, I'm working on something more akin to an actual blog, started writing some stuff for it. I hope I'll accomplish my destiny. Hope you had a great holiday season, if not, I hope this year goes great for you from now on. Good luck!
Finally made the coolsites page. I will start filling it up with content as I go, but eventually I want to do a complete site makeover as I've already grown tired of how shit this looks. Although, the layout does serve its purpose. I will probably keep the font, maybe the color, but overall I want the layout changed.
4th Week, December, 2025
There goes 2025. Initially I wanted to add more to this site, but life sure makes you buzy. I really want to finally finish the Cool Sites page, it should be pretty eazy but I've got no idea what the layout is going to be. I want to make it interesting, but I'm unwilling to spend time to actually make it good.
So what is your CGP GREY Yearly Theme? What is CGP's GREY Yearly Theme you might ask? It's the concept popularised by Youtuber CGP Grey where you replace your New Year Resolution with a Yearly Theme. You can search the web for context, but basically you replace an abstract tough goal that you are likely not going to accomplish, like losing weight or quitting ciggarettes, with a more managable theme, like Year Of Weight Loss or Year of Getting Rid of Nicotine. In short rather than accomplishing a goal early in the year and sticking to it, you rather work towards said goal for the entire year, basically making it that yearly theme. Anyways...
My Yearly Theme for 2026 is "Social Media detox, now complete". This has technically been my previous' year theme as well but I've only sort of completed it. For 2025 I've completely uninstalled all social media from my phone, and replaced it with social media on my computer. While this has helped a little bit with my addiction, replacing it with social media on my PC didn't really help that much in the grand scheme of things. This year I'm going to try and make a concious effort to quit social media for good. And I mean all social media, that is including Youtube (which would be asinine to quit outright, it's a great platform but I have to at least try to curb my consumption of media there). Anyways, I'm going to come back to this site next year. Enjoy the holidays!
1st Week, December, 2025
This years Spotify's 2025 Wrapped dropped, and by far it was the least embarrassing Wrapped yet for me. It does seem a struggle for me to have a somewhat decent Wrapped I can share on social media (this year it seemed more people shared their Wrapped, but this might be due to a change in friend groups). Spotify's Wrapped has the quality of cataloguing my low's in music consumption.
It's December, and with nothing better to do I've started updating the site again, but for now I'm simply going to start filling it with content.
I got a 80dolla Philips 120hz screen in the meantime, and damn I've put this off for way to long. The upgrade is sizable. It doesn't help that my old ass monitor was this horrible cheap model from almost a decade ago. What is crazy is that both my monitors cost the same if bought new.
Ram prices are through the roof. I expect this to last for a year or two, when I expect the AI bubble to burst.
