Dear visitor (from Earth or outer space)!
My name is writer13! I like to share my opinion about the some tech stuff! (games, Linux, etc.), but I occasionally write about culture and health too. If you want to know more about me, check out the ABOUT page, if you want to write to me, see CONTACT. Here are some of the stuff I USES on my computer (aka the boring geeky stuff).
MICROBLOG is for shorter posts, many of them are just rants or just thoughts, that doesn't require a full page of separate bullshit. The LINKBLOG is for sharing me all kinds of stuff. Both are irregular things.
In the Notes section I share my longer thoughts, or analysis about thing. updates.
Social media: Right now I am periodically on X. But also on Twitch or Kick.
Updates
As of 2026 April, this website is going through some changes, so you will see missing graphics, different css for different websites, etc. I decided to go back to hand edited site - instead a static website generator - and wanted a new design. I will slowly updated parts of the site, and add new content as well. If you want to see my earlier posts, look at site updates.
(yes, this gif is for real, not just nostalgia purposes)

Notes: Gaming
This is all about video games. My memories, favorites, or most hated games. Yes, I have
those as well. I am a pretty opinionated guy, you might not like what you read, but at least
I will be honest with you.
Retro PC games
30 years of gaming, my notes about my experience and the games I have played. You will also find mods, and other goodies in this section.
Just a bunch of old games, either in original form, or modified to make it playable in the present. Full page of goodies: Old games stuff
Game emulators
I was never a console player, in fact I am a proud PCMR, however recently started to play some of the classics, like Silent Hill and the Resident Evil series. Consoles were never part of my life, because of the price, but now I am happy to play some of them. This page is about my experience. Gaming with emulators...
Modern games
Occasionally I play newer games - after 2010 - and I enjoy some of them, like Alien: Isolation, Batman: Arkham Origins.
A few reviews of my favorite, more modern games. Read more
Alien: Isolation, Bioshock 2 (and Minerva's Den), Batman: Arkham Origins, Doom Eternal.
Indie favorites
In the past few years I am more of an indie gamer. Trying to spread the word of small teams and their awesome games.
Coming soon...
