OK I think I spent enough time writing online. I need to prep so I can go out for the afternoon 😆

My 2023: Appreciating an eventful year

2023 was an eventful year for me. There were a lot of ups and downs. Before the year comes to a close, I just want to reflect on everything I’ve done so far and appreciate where I am now.

In no particular order…

I also just wanted to share this neat game I saw on Game Pass, and then eventually was gifted to on Steam: Venba! 🎮

I’m a sucker for cooking games, even if I don’t really cook much myself 🙈 The pastel art is also very cute, and the feature on Southern Indian cuisine is nice 😄

Things I want to do back at my parent’s house for the holidays:

  • do some sewing
  • set up some Figma teaching materials?
  • learn about Hugo and set up my own theme
  • test out Steam Link and play games (mostly Yakuza Kiwami or One Piece Odyssey

Now, to see if I actually do any 😂

Surprised to see my cousin ate Leira in this video! Happy there’s a video talking about the history of video games in the Philippines, although I think they focused a bit too much on just consoles (as a non-console owner until 2017) 😅 Good job as well covering bootlegs 😂 I wish they featured more about the 1000-games-in-1 type of CDs that were popular at some point before hahaha

WATCH Palaro: History of Video Games in the Philippines

aaaahhh, I’m not that great of a tech support at home as I thought I was 😆 but this is within context of being out in stores hahaha

I work better when I’m near my PC and I can verify things on the go :))) oh well, I hope this works for my dad (he got a new monitor but realized he can only have 1 connected to an HDMI, but I know his NUC PC can handle 3 displays at most)

Happy Holidays! 😊 wishing you all a comfy time with your loved ones 🌟💖

oooh, BlueSky became a butterfly 🦋

Playing 🎮 Melatonin now, this is such a cute rhythm game! I got it as a gift from one of my friends hehe 😊 Highly recommended!

Earlier it seems like Cloudflare had a bit of an outage, and it lasted for a few minutes (at least long enough to be noticeable?)

I initially thought it was due to my (prepaid) WiFi but then after I changed my DNS settings, stuff loaded properly afterwards 🤔

Seems like 2023 is the year of transitions.

I’m being diligent now on what to buy during the 2023 Steam Winter Sale… I really just want one gift. But then I’m keeping some easy ones also just saved for later. 😆

even though it’s the holidays and it’s time to rest I kinda can’t wait for these next few days to be over 😴

I wonder if there’s already a way to get a computer to check the characters of a post & see if it’s ascii or emoji art then have that be read to screen readers

is ascii art quantifiable already in that way? 🤔 I would imagine checking if something is emoji art might be simpler (?) but this is all speculation 😂

Published this free Android UI - Phone Call resource on Figma Community in case anyone needed to mock up the stock call app within their prototypes or just to showcase a point 😄

random note to self: the goal is to have more intentional experiences moving forward, wag na madala sa flow of things 😆

ok lang naman siguro yun sa simula pero kung may gusto baguhin, gawan ng paraan at i-follow through na lang siya 😄

honestly I find it so funny that my stats for 🎮 Baldur’s Gate 3 is like this HAHA the jab is totally real, I still haven’t left Act One :((((((

Screenshot of Chi's Baldur's Gate 3 stats from her 2023 Steam Year in Review. The text underneath the game title reads: "If you said you spent all that time in Act One we'd believe you." Chi's stats show that she has 16% of Total Playtime with the game, with 21 Sessions Played and a 6 Day Streak. There's a vertical bar graph as well that shows the months of the year, and August is the only one with a bar shown, since Chi only really got to play it fully during the game's release in August. She also has a total of 20 achievements unlocked this year.

2023 Steam Year in Review time!! 🎮
