HyperX SoloCast (2/28/2021) - This is a pretty decent mic. It’s by no means budget because it is still quite expensive at a sales price of CDN$84.99 from the official website. SoloCast is a cardioid-only mic. There’s no complicated pattern knob like the QuadCast (CDN$199.99) or our signature Blue Yeti (CDN$169.99). It’s missing the gain control dial and a … Continue reading →

Unity-chan (9/21/2014) - Guhhhh~~~ The admin was supposed to build a game using Unity 3D engine, but came across Unity-chan and procrastinated.. Crappy-crap..

No title (8/28/2014) - I can’t express how much I miss SAI. So… the end. Xournal is really cool at drawing the outline. The pen pressure whatsoever are showing up so freaking nicely.

No Title (8/25/2014) - The admin is back on Linux again.. SAI unfortunately doesn’t support this OS either.

No Title (8/12/2014) - Thanks to the nee-san’s blessing (and possibly the cold fire), the admin has passed the class 5 road test without fail on the first try :D. All the left now, is to seek for a decent job I suppose then. Dislike the new WordPress “new post” layout.. 😛
Paint Tool SAI (8/12/2014) - The admin has been experimenting with SAI and just found out that it isn’t exactly a “freeware” either. Still, this tool is so awesome that the admin thinks it kinda worth the pennies. It’s not like she’s gonna pay though.
