Preparing for Student Showcase Presentation
Permalink to section 'Preparing for Student Showcase Presentation'I mentioned in my previous weekly recap post that I and two other classmates were invited by the campus staff of my school, a Malaysian campus of 42 the computer science school to take part in a student showcase in an upcoming school event on January 28 and present our projects and share our 42 school journey.
On the past Thursday, the school staff held a shared session with us to prepare for our presentation, by giving us guidelines for how to present in the event, such as what to include in our slideshows and speech.
Games I Was Playing
Permalink to section 'Games I Was Playing'I had beaten the base game of Pokémon Legends: Z-A in December 2025, and it became my favourite Pokémon game on the Nintendo Switch, so I take my time to go through the post-game.
Currently, I have done 8 reward matches in the Infinite Z-A Royale. In the past week, I finished the post-game quests "The One That Gives" and "The One That Takes", and finally caught a Beldum, which has a notoriously low catch rate.
Web Browsing Highlights
Permalink to section 'Web Browsing Highlights'Interesting things I have discovered on the web this week:
- "A Game Doesn't Need To Be ‘By And For Fans’" by Harper Jay MacIntyre — An article published on Aftermath in response to the announcement of Life is Strange: Reunion, the latest instalment of the Life is Strange video game series. I strongly agree with the article, regarding both the marketing surrounding Life is Strange: Reunion and the pitfalls of art that exists to appease fans.
- Just the Browser — A project for de-bloating Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge. I realised after checking out Just the Browser's GitHub repository that the website is built with Eleventy, the static site generator that built this very blog, too!
- Spawn a Neko! — A widget that you can embed on your website to let users spawn Neko-like kitties the follow the mouse pointer.
