Late last year, I grabbed the original Ace Attorney trilogy on discount after stumbling across a trending fan video. I’ve now played through all six mainline games, and I’m optimistic for a seventh to coincide with the series’ 20th anniversary later this year.

For the last year or so, I’ve hosted my website using an old Raspberry Pi on my home network. It’s served me well, but I’m retiring it for now. I’m sure I’ll find a new use for it in the near future though!
