## Personal
|
||
|
||
Finally flied a bit with my Drone! I bought it cause a good offer came up, but here is usually very windy plus I need to go a bit far away to a flight allowed zone. And well even if it wasn't the perfect weather to film around it was very good to lose the fear to lose the drone around even when I couldn't see it because it was too far away.
|
||
|
||
Can't wait for better weather though! Videos have a very good quality and the shots are just amazing from up there.

## Projects
|
||
|
||
- Preparing a community given approach to [**switch-games-json**](https://github.com/fmartingr/switch-games-json) since the other repository I'm basing it off is not active since last year and PR suggestions are not being merged.
|
||
|
||
- [**games-screenshot-manager**](https://github.com/fmartingr/games-screenshot-manager) is going under a huge refactor since the proof of concept is working very well on my end (being using it for a few months now) so it's time to make the codebase more decent.
|
||
|
||
- Trying out [hugo](https://gohugo.io) as a replacement for lektor for this blog. I still need to figure out if the benefits are worth it the time investment.
|
||
|
||
- After doing Go for a while figured out what a pain in the ass is to deploy/containerize python applications.
|
||
|
||
## Books
|
||
|
||
- Started reading [**Doctor Aphra (2020 - present)**](https://www.marvel.com/comics/series/29161/star_wars_doctor_aphra_2020_-_present)
|
||
|
||
I like it, but my subscription ended after trying it for a month, and since I haven't seen any improvement to the app and the pages loading I'm not paying it anymore... it's $10/mo of suffering anytime I want to just read for 10 minutes. It's a shame since people made a lot of recommendations to read Marvel related things, but I'm assuming I would just end up buying the tomes physically. Wait... maybe this was Marvel's plan all along?
|
||
|
||
- Reading [**The Gamer**](https://www.webtoons.com/en/action/the-gamer/list?title_no=88)
|
||
|
||
I started this a while ago and I've came back to it. Since I didn't remember where chapter I was in I just started it again. And boy I am glad... I didn't remember a thing!
|
||
|
||
- Reaading [**DICE**](https://www.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/dice/list?title_no=64)
|
||
|
||
Keeping the pace up a bit, I'm still far away from reaching the current episode, but it keeps getting interesting.
|
||
|
||
## TVShows and Movies
|
||
|
||
- Still watching [**Suits**](https://www.netflix.com/browse?jbv=70195800)
|
||
|
||
We watch it at lunch/dinner time. Not that I'm enjoying it much anymore, but it's still way better than regular TV.
|
||
|
||
- Finished [**Falcon & The Winter Soldier**](https://www.disneyplus.com/series/the-falcon-and-the-winter-soldier/4gglDBMx8icA)
|
||
|
||
Oh man, only six episodes! The show was **amazing**, but I feel like a couple of extra episodes wouldn't have hurt character development. And now the wait until Loki premieres on June... :(
|
||
|
||
- Watched [**Invincible**](https://www.primevideo.com/detail/0K677J96WQ96K6UY6BL15O70CO/) season 1
|
||
|
||
A pleasant surprise on Amazon Prime. I'm up to date and I'm liking it, it's start a bit childish but oh boy you're up to a surprise on the first episode. It seems is based on comics as well, so how knows if I would grow impatient and just read the comics instead of waiting for the next seasons.
|
||
|
||
## Games
|
||
|
||
- [**Super Mario Bros. 3D World**](https://www.nintendo.es/Juegos/Nintendo-Switch/Super-Mario-3D-World-Bowser-s-Fury-1832228.html)
|
||
|
||
So. What is this madness Nintendo? Are you serious? Not only there's another world with both a crazy hard level to beat and an almost infinite star box, but now I'm supposed to beat every level with every character?
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
- [**Rhythm Tengoku (*リズム天国 / Rhythm Heaven*)**](https://rhythmheaven.fandom.com/wiki/Rhythm_Tengoku)
|
||
|
||
So I discovered this game on a [friend's stream](https://twitch.tv/vitiman) and I instantly fell in love. Got it second hand complete (with its box, manual and everything!). I have played various rhythm games over the years and let me tell you this one is **hard**. It measures your rhythm at the beginning and oh boy I'm up for a challenge here...
