Palworld's First Raid with Bellanoir
March 21, 2024
The Bellanoir raid will become Palworld's first raid plus work management feature to follow.

First of all, Palworld has become my new staple game on the PC.

Palworld will introduce Bellanoir, the newest Pal, with the upcoming Bellanoir raid. But more importantly, a worker management feature will be implemented as well. The worker management will be big as it is an essential (and fundamental) function needed in managing who's doing what in your base. For example, I have tons of berries, so I need to reassign my Pals on skipping on planting.

They should add the task priority system immediately.


List of optimizations and QoL improvements:
1. If a Pal goes past the base radius, teleport it to Palbox. Or allow Pal to be able to move back to Palbox.
2. If a Pal has low SAN, Pal must prioritze heading to an open Hotspring.
3. If a Pal is distant and not engaged in combat, teleport to player.
4. Be able to get off a Pal when directly in front of a shrine.
5. Fix base building regarding not too much support on platforms.
6. Fix assigning Pals by way of targeting the facility instead.
7. Fix animation when assigning Pals to a hotspring.
8. Auto-move.
9. Add the interact function to furniture.


Here is my quick wishlist:
1. As mentioned, add a user interface that lets us see the pals in the base, and edit their available tasks.
2. Introduce weather. I want a rain ambiance while inside my house. (Fallout 4 did this and it was refreshing).
3. Vanila setting to increasing the base radius.
4. Vanilla setting of host to increase number of bases to more than 3.
5. Add 6 slots to a Pal party.
6. Add more potted plant assets and clutter (emphasize on the POTTED PLANTS)!
7. Add another facility to increase SAN.
8. Add items to revive or restore health.
9. Character re-creation tool.

Yes, I'm still playing Palworld. Some folks may have burned out from it, and that's fine. As for me, I'm still having fun with it.

Meta was down today
March 05, 2024
Meta platforms Facebook, Instagram, and Threads were down. And I thought my account was hacked.

I paused for a moment figuring out the unfamiliar image of why I had to log in to Facebook on my phone. I entered my password, but it didn't work. I tried again and it said that my password was incorrect. I tried to check my password manager and make sure it's the right password. Then I prompte for account recovery mode. Nothing worked. I started thinking that my account was hacked. Then my cousin sent me an text (to clarify: SMS) asking if my Facebook is down.

Facebook was down. Including Instagram and Threads too. Everybody flocked to X (Twitter) hashtagging #facebookdown. Thus another reminder how much Facebook has affected much of our lives. However, making Twitter apparently the fall back social media platform. Elon Musk made a snarky tweet about it. Honestly, I wasn't bothered; I don't think anybody was. Facebook was back around 11am (Central). Though I sure wish that other people join me on other platforms such as Parler, Minds, Gab or Rumble.

Charles Martinet to step down as voice of Mario
August 21, 2023
Charles Martinet, legendary voice actor of Mario, will no longer voice Nintendo's popular plumber.

Nintendo confirms that the legendary voice actor Charles Martinet will be stepping back from voicing the videogame character Mario. Nintendo posted this tweet and added that both Shigeru Miyamoto and Charles Martinet himself will be posting more info.

Charles Martinet also reposted the news on his own Twitter account. Charles will still be involved in the Mario gaming world as Nintendo's brand ambassador instead. Fans will be wondering what will become of the next voice of Mario: will we hear something similar to Lou Albano? Similar to Charles again? Or a momentum toward similar to Chris Pratt's voice?

Also, an interesting note that Charles Martinet voiced Paarthunax from Skyrim. We hope that Charles enjoys his retirement and certainly wishes him well.

U.S. Serviceman runs to North Korea through the DMZ
July 20, 2023
U.S. soldier defects and runs to North Korea through the Korean demarcation line to avoid disciplinary actions.

A U.S. Soldier willfully defected by running to North Korea through the demarcation line. He was also reportedly seen laughing while crossing over to the North Korean side of the DMZ. He is believed to have been facing disciplinary actions due to assault. North Korean guards have detained him up after crossing. If he wanted to escape his disciplinary actions, and ease his border crossing crime by supplying military information to North Korea, I think it's safe to conclude that a US soldier nonetheless serving time in US soil would be better than serving time in a country hostile to the United States. North Korea is not exactly a friendly state to the United States. Except for Denis Rodman.

Microsoft's PC Manager tool is free and useful
July 12, 2023
Microsoft PC Manager (currently in beta) is now available for free to keep your OS safe and clean.

You can download Microsoft PC Manager from the Microsoft website if you have a Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC. It features:

  • A Boost function to clean up temporary files.
  • A more detailed disk cleanup tool.
  • A PC health checkup tool.
  • And an antivirus which is works together with Windows Security.


  • I've downloaded Microsoft PC Manager and it reminds me of CCleaner with an antivirus tool. It looks easy to use and I'm delightfully surprised on keeping me informed on some available updates for my computer - those I haven't found on the Windows updates list. PC Manager acts as a separate (or another layer of) antivirus as Windows Security is still running.

    Note that the software is still in beta, so we're not on version 1.0 yet. Although I think it's an instant welcome addition for all Windows 10/11 machines. When Microsoft came up with Windows Defender, Microsoft Security Essentials, and now Windows Security - it's a huge relief on my budget to abstain from purchasing cumbersome and expensive antivirus out there. They all worked too.

    Children's Choir stopped while performing the US National Anthem because it's offensive
    June 05, 2023
    A Children's choir was silenced during their performance of the US National Anthem as it was offensive.

    The news comes from The Blaze while referring to a Twitter video that captured the scene. A Children's Choir was performing The US National Anthem in the US Capitol when they were told by security (or police) to stop during the third verse. According to Christina Chapman Hefferman, believed to be affiliated with the choir, the performance was seen as offensive or as a protest.

    Source: The Citizen Free Press Twitter screenshot

    Christina posted the video on her Facebook. She clarifies that their guide had approached the choir director before the end of the third verse. She also stated that the performance was stopped as it might have offend someone / caused issues. Christina also adds that the choir performance was approved on multiple levels.

    What can I say? Imagine having a problem listening to the US National Anthem in the US Capitol (no less).

    CLONE HIGH IS BACK!
    May 08, 2023
    Clone High will be showing on HBO Max and will resume what was left off in 2002.

    Clone High is an adult cartoon sitcom about the clones of famous historical figures and their high school lives. It left a void from its abrupt and hilarious cliff-hanging finale back in 2002. I only discovered it in 2008 but Clone High became an instant favorite as it aired a familiar humour from Scrubs. I found the news from Tommy Walter (Abandoned Pools) social media. Check out the Clone High reboot trailer.

    The Clone High reboot will premiere on May 23, 2023 via HBO Max. Abe, JFK, and Jean will be back. New characters will include Confucius, Harriet Tubman, Christopher Columbus, and Frida Kahlo. So we address the elephant in the room, Gandhi may not (most likely will not) be returning notably due to his controversial portrayal in the 2002 Clone High. If you've seen the original season, you'll see some significant changes (such as JFK and Jean), but this also hints the direction of the storyline.

    MAKE WAY! Age of Empires II coming hot with a big expansion pack!

    Kimi ni Todoke live action series on Netflix
    April 03, 2023
    Sawako graces the live film once again with Kimi ni Todoke on Netflix.

    The first live adaptation of Kimi ni Todoke (Reaching You) ran in 2010 but it seems like another live adaptation of Kimi ni Todoke (From Me to You) is on Netflix (since March 30, 2023). Note that the two english translations of the title are simply synonymous. Sawako Kuronuma is a friendly yet misunderstood high school girl whose appearance resembles the horror film character Sadako. She meets the popular guy in class, Kazehaya Shouta, while looking for the assembly. Sawako and Kazehaya become friends. More importantly Sawako's world changes and the class notices the real Sawako - sweet and helpful. Love blossoms as they try to live out their high school lives.

    Kimi ni Todoke is one of the popular rom-com titles back in late 2006 because the theme was attractive at the time. Early 2000s also had similar manga of The Wallflower, with a shut-in Sunako and a group of ikemen trying to pull her out of being a NEET. Then you have Say I Love You, with a "gloomy" Mei and a popular Yamato. Heck His and Her Circumstances in the late 90s also catered to both shonen and shoujo fans with rom-com and coming-of-age themes. If Kimi ni Todoke is your cup-of-tea, check it out on Netflix (as well as those mangas I mentioned).

    Self-driving car will repossess itself if you miss payments
    March 08, 2023
    If you miss payments, this new technology will reduce comfort in your car. Then the car will self-drive itself back to the dealership after more missed payments.

    According to Daily Mail UK, Ford patents a technology for self-driving cars that repossess itself. This news has been picked up by several news outlets such as The Independent, The Guardian, Gizmodo, etc. Based on the report, Ford is trying to implement levels of system prompts when the owner misses payments. It would display messages, disable comfort features, and ultimately drive itself back to the dealership after more missed payments.

    Depending on the car's mileage it would even drive itself to the scrapyard. Another possibility would be to lock the owner out. Of course the car has to be connected to the Internet so it's aware of said "missed" payment.

    Safety is the biggest concern. In times of crisis or emergency, would you have a usable car? What if the car glitches and suddenly decides to leave? It seems like a meme. The safety involved on self-driving cars (let alone getting to your destination safe) is still questionable. We also have to be wary and cautious on this development as other car manufacturers may be interested to install similar tech. The customer may not feel safe with this feature, but having this tech implemented to all cars of the future certainly is another discussion for another day.
