A Pixelated Point of View

Time for the first update of 2023! Ever since the last update in December a lot of stuff happened. Like, all at once. Before writing this post, I had a A4 page and a half full of things I wanted to mention in this post. This is most likely the most extensive post I've shared thus far on this blog.
