It's that time of the year again: short days, long dark nights that magically bleed into working days, the Steam Wintersale to get more material for your game backlog that you will Really Eventually Play (somewhere after 2042), and the anniversary of this weblog.

Quite amazing that I have been doing this for twenty-two (22!) years already. Still, I kind of feel vindicated in staying on my own turf instead of moving to one of the various walled (blogging) gardens that have existed and still exist between 2003 and $current_year, seeing how so many things that we loved in the early internet days have either enshittified, or just plain disappeared.

Anyway, glad to still be here, and glad to be able to recharge a bit in the coming days; I might even finish some of the several drafts that have been laying around for quite some time now :)
