A personal blog about whatever comes to mind
A few weeks ago, I got back into monster hunting, trying to go as far as I can into Rise’s gameplay, and had a bunch of really cool kill screens with gunlance, my main weapon. So, here are some. Bear in mind that there won’t be any alt text in these pictures, since they are…
I just remembered this banger of a song the other day. I was never really a fan of nu metal or whatever, but some songs like this one and KoRn’s Freak On A Leash are deeply imprinted into my brain. This one was so good. I think the first time I heard it was playing…
Sorry-not-sorry for the clickbaity title, but it’s true. Brazil is a Portuguese-speaking country, but being in Latin America it would make sense for the second most spoken language to be Spanish, right? Well, it is not.1 — Is it English then? Nope. Very few people actually even understand English, which is barely used in their…
I don’t know why, but the timbre of Asian stringed instruments always matches so well with a rock or metal background for some reason, at least to my ears. It’s not something that I specifically search for, but I’m always happy when it crosses my timeline somewhere, like this YouTube short I saw a few…
Sometimes, I like to read about other countries’ independence to see what happened there. What I’ve found, so far, is that Brazil’s independence seems to have been… unusual? It had a lot of improbable events that led to a (somewhat) less bloody resolution than in a lot of other colonies. Like, it all started with…
It’s been a while since the last devlog, and the reason for that is… that I have done mostly nothing since then. Issues in the so-called “real life” started piling up and I was/am dealing with some stuff that leaves me with almost no energy after work. Hopefully, everything should be sorted in the next…
My first contact with Maximum The Hormone was 10 years ago, give or take, with this song, which seems like a happy-fun thing until it changes. That kind of style change midsong — even if a bit truncated, as in this case — was new to me, and it was pretty cool. After that, I…
Maybe a bit late, thematically speaking, but this is one of my favorite songs ever. God Is An Astronaut was the first instrumental band I listened to and thought “huh, maybe we don’t need guitars with distortion all the time to make things interesting” (I was really into Joe Satriani at the time) and, for…
That’s literally it: I have a jacket that I got I don’t know when and don’t remember from whom, but it has a Discman pocket. I think I never showed it to anyone, so here it is. The jacket is obviously old, I think I got it in the 2000s, but can’t remember exactly when,…
When I was young, we had a PC at home with Windows 95 that had an almost 1-minute startup time. Deciding to have some fun, I changed the Brian Eno’s original startup sound to this: It lasted the exact amount of time it took for Windows to start responding to human input. My parents loved…
