It was a night when I felt overwhelmed by reading papers (March 29, 2022). As I browsed through the messy directory tree in Zotero… it suddenly occurred to me how many papers I had read over the past few years? Exporting from emails… I was shocked… 561 entries, 419 PDFs downloaded… really… If I had gone straight for a PhD, I probably wouldn’t have read so many papers.

Although DingTalk is somewhat of a tool that exploits people, it’s still necessary for work. It’s already better to have one less annoyance choice (speaking of which, Tencent). After all, being exploited is bad enough, but being both exploited and annoyed… being able to eliminate one annoyance is already an improvement.

For me, Metroid is a very magical game. Although I know it’s one of the pioneers of the Metroidvania genre, I only played Castlevania when I was young and didn’t have much interest in this series…

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I didn’t want to work overtime and finished the last two cases of The Great Ace Attorney 2 in one go. The script is not inferior to the Phoenix Wright trilogy, and the second-to-last case, “Future Science and the Return of Souls,” left a deeper impression on me…

I’ve been using my Nuts Pro for over three years, and everything is slow, and the storage is always running out. It’s time to make a final effort… Desperate times call for desperate measures, so I’m going to try flashing it. If it works well, I can keep using it for another year and a half. If not, I’ll have to buy a new one with my end-of-year bonus.

I’ve had my Nutro Pro for over three years now, and it’s been slowing down significantly. The storage space is also running low, making it hard to use comfortably. So, I decided to give it one last...

2020 was too busy… In the middle of the year, I discovered that the material-x theme had been significantly upgraded, but I didn’t have time to update it. By the time 2021 arrived, I gave up on upg...

From childhood to adulthood, my biggest motivation has always been playing games and looking cool… Today I wanted to play Monster Hunter 4G but couldn’t get back to Guangzhou, so I played it on my 5-year-old 3DS. Since it’s an old game that wasn’t very popular in the Chinese community at the time (Ping’s Dex was inconvenient due to system issues), it’s hard to find Chinese resources. To play the game better… I turned to an app that requires watching ads to earn points, which can then be used to exchange for specific equipment functions.

The romance of a hunter is not just about explosions… but also about damage output!

Obsessed with hunting… neglecting my career…

As expected, just like I bought a tablet and spent two days reading books before starting to play PSP emulators… this time after buying a computer, I didn’t use it for software testing for long either… I immediately started playing Monster Hunter. I even fiddled with how to record video from the client machine on the host… After struggling all day, I finally chose dual-streaming of video and audio… separately through the Looking-Glass and Scream projects to stream video and audio back to the host, and then recorded using OBS on the host. As for why I didn’t record directly on the client machine… that wouldn’t reflect the essence of being a masochist, right!

Here’s a test video of me playing Cherry Fire Dragon without any technical skill:
