# Gaming
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a list of games that I've played. See an alternative [kanban board view](https://trello.com/b/r6Nmb9VL/gaming) on Trello.
|
||||
|
||||
Games listed here do not necessarily reflect my personal views or whether I would recommend someone play them — because I've played a bunch of mediocre games.

- Preface
|
||||
- I have tried my best to recall all the games that I've played during this golden era of console gaming. Unfortunately, it is likely that some titles that I've played are lost to time.
|
||||
- For the sake of my sanity, these games are listed by platform release then by game release date as there is no way for me to remember and confirm exactly what order I played these titles, especially as I had access to multiple/different consoles at any point in time through friends and family members.

## 1990s
|
||||
- Preface
|
||||
- I have tried my best to recall all the games that I've played during this golden era of console gaming. Unfortunately, it is likely that some titles that I've played are lost to time.
|
||||
- For the sake of my sanity, these games are listed by platform release then by game release date as there is no way for me to remember and confirm exactly what order I played these titles, especially as I had access to multiple/different consoles at any point in time through friends and family members.
|
||||
- **Super Mario Bros** (1985, NES)
|
||||
- **Duck Hunt** (1985, NES)
|
||||
- **Excitebike** (1985, NES)
|
||||
- **Arkanoid** (1987, NES) — *In my opinion, this is the perfect arcade game.*
|
||||
- **Blades of Steel** (1998, NES)
|
||||
- **Track & Field II** (1989, NES)
|
||||
- **Dr. Mario** (1990, NES)
|
||||
- **Battletoads** (1991, NES) — *Abandoned.*
|
||||
- **Break Time: The National Pool Tour** (1993, NES)
|
||||
- **Battletoads & Double Dragon: The Ultimate Team** (1993, NES)

# Using

Here is a list of notable equipment and tools I use. The purpose of this list is to remind myself to be intentional about the things that I surround myself with and utilize on a daily basis.

| **Totals** | **$737.17** | **$61.41** | **$88.34** |
|
||||
|
||||
For PikaPods, I have a couple web apps deployed using their managed services:
|
||||
- [Gitea](https://gitea.com/) for my personal project repositories.
|
||||
- [Actual](https://actualbudget.org/) for personal budgeting using the envelop method.
|
||||
- [CommaFeed](https://github.com/Athou/commafeed/) for reading RSS feeds.
|
||||
- [Navidrome](https://www.navidrome.org/) as my personal music streaming service.
|
||||
- [Umami](https://umami.is/) for collecting and analyzing visitor metrics.
|
||||
- [Gitea](https://gitea.com/) for my personal project repositories.
|
||||
|
||||
For video streaming, I rotate through a number of services and only subscribe for a month at a time to watch what I want. In some months, I don't have an active subscription running, so this number is a little inflated.
|
||||
|
||||
For 2025:
|
||||
- I intend to stop using YNAB because its subscription cost has significantly increased over the years and no longer feels worth it to me. Currently, considering using [Actual](https://actualbudget.com/) which would only slightly increase my PikaPod costs for an additional managed web app.
|
||||
- Consider whether Ghost(Pro) is worth it.
|
||||
|
||||
Otherwise, I am quite happy with how much I am spending on my online subscriptions. It could be better, but I am satisfied that it is below $100 CAD per month.

> *A neon-noir story in a rain-drenched cyberpunk metropolis. It’s your first night on the job working for the Cloudpunk delivery service. Two rules: Don’t miss a delivery and don’t ask what’s in the package.*
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
*Cloudpunk* delivers the experience of what it is like to be a delivery driver cruising from point A to point B in a neon-lit cyberpunk city filled with skyscrapers while driving a flying vehicle and listening to relaxing music.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Frequently, there are scripted conversations between characters that flesh out the realities of living in the city and the daily lives of its inhabitants, which were engaging enough for me to look forward to hearing the ringing tone of the communication system and being able to learn more. Discussions about class systems, ethics about using AI, what is considered a life form, and corporate dystopian control were woven into the narrative as you deliver packages and taxi people to their destinations.
|
||||
|
||||
I guess you can call this an interactive visual novel experience because your choices don't fundamentally affect the story. There are a few missions that have a timer, but even if you miss a check, there isn't a lasting consequence as NPCs would excuse away the missed timer on your behalf. However, I did spot one achievement to successfully complete all time-sensitive deliveries — which is something to note for completionists.
