Another year has come and gone, as they say. In this time of reflection, I'd like to look back at 2025, and note what I did, what I liked, and what I'd like to improve on.

Silly website maintenance stuff

Unfortunately, I spend a lot of time on my website talking about making and maintaining the website. Trust me when I say that I make it look much more difficult to run a website compared to how it actually is. Even still, the website has shown a lot of positive growth this year! Not in the numbers sense, mind you. I don't track analytics. But in the past year, I've shipped Evie On-Line 2.0, which was the huge redesign I did a while back, I've added comments, and I've tried to streamline posting. This has somewhat worked out, and I've had spurts of more semi-active posting on here. Generally, I think that the biggest thing holding me back from shitposting on my own site is this faux air of prestige. I feel like I can't flood people's (RSS) feeds with my own garbage because it drowns out the quality posts and because…

he looks exactly like if you put matpat from 2013 through a snapchat age filter

down bad implies the existence of up good

what the fuck is reverse chastity? what did they mean by this??? (i know what they meant they meant the guy gets laid a lot)

got a switch 2 :)

i wonder if there's any way to convert like an ESL (the epaper price tags) into a sort of TRMNL type device, cos there's gotta be a ton you could get for cheap from liquidation sales or anything like that. idk just thinking

Anarch Program: Icebreaker – Fracter

Install cost: 3 – Strength: 0 – Memory cost: 1 – Influence cost: 2

Interface → 1 credit: Break 1 barrier subroutine.

1 credit: The barrier you are encountering gets -3 strength for the remainder of this encounter. Spend credits only from stealth cards to use this ability.

There have been many golden ages of piracy, each occurring on stranger and stormier waters.

4 stars

While this can be an interesting breaker that requires support to function, I’m moreso eyeing it as a way to enable ice destruction. Barriers are the most high value targets for Arruaceiras Crew, and Corsair can destroy a Pharos using 3 stealth credits and the tag + 2 credits ability on Crew. Logjam can be even cheaper. All of this depends on the set printing enough stealth support to make that package worth it, since I don’t think just Trickster Taka will be good enough to make you run this breaker. I’m not worrying about this. Stealth as a keyword is a tightly coupled bundle o…

Welcome back to Netrunner scoops season! This one is gonna start low and slow, since Vantage Point isn't going to be out until Q1 2026. As per usual, I will be trying to review as many cards as I can until the set finally comes out. Here's hoping I can review them all.

idk why last week's link roundup broke and is rounding up again
