Supernatural (Season 6)

I had watched this one many years ago and remember not liking it very much. After rewatching it, I was surprised… it’s actually pretty good!
It’s kind of a soft reboot after the series’ story ending in Season 5, so it’s understandable that most people didn’t like it back then. But when you’re not expecting a continuation and instead understand it’s a reboot, it’s actually pretty enjoyable.
Fun episodes and interesting arcs (that honestly could have lasted a bit longer). I might even say it’s better than seasons 2 and 3.

2025-01-31Incredible article that not only explains the new-ish text-wrap: balance and text-wrap: pretty CSS properties in-depth, it also goes into the caveats those properties have. It’s well-written, well illustrated, and interactive. What else could you want?

2025-01-31Henry’s personal website is absolutely stunning! It has an unique design that is, above all, fun to explore. I miss exploring websites, instead of being guided through them.

2025-01-31Ahmad once again writing the articles I wish I did. Another well-written and interactive article going in-depth on the also new-ish overflow: clip CSS property. clip has helped me implement designs more than once and it’s so nice to have something that works just like I always expected overflow: hidden to work.

2025-01-31Most of what Neal makes is pure gold and this is no exception. This game is no different than most of what you can find on your App Store, it’s just more honest about it…

Young Sheldon
Reviewed on Jan 20, 2025
A surprisingly good show, a far cry from The Big Bang Theory. Sheldon is in the title, but the supporting characters are what really steal the show. They’re varied, complex, and above all, funny. It ended at the right time and in a beautiful way.

The idea of this being a “Poker Roguelike”, two things I don’t really like, kept me off the game for a while. Luckily, it being included on Apple Arcade gave me the nudge to try it out. And I’m glad I did!
It’s so easy to start, and hard to stop. Addictive, satisfying, and overall so fun to play.
