Sergiy Galyonkin @galyonkin.com · 22/02/2026It’s kind of insane that the laziest sci-fi trope of my childhood – heroes tricking an adversarial AI into doing something they want – is now just a normal part of daily life. 0131

Sergiy Galyonkin @galyonkin.com · 11/01/2026Fuji X half is down to $649. That's more like it, although I think it should be well under $499 020
Sergiy Galyonkin @galyonkin.com · 02/01/2026I really hate the modern trend in fiction of explaining everything. Dune was better without prequels. Horrors don’t need villain origin stories. It’s okay to leave things unsaid. Imagine if Solaris or The Martian Chronicles had alien backstory spinoffs. 170
Sergiy Galyonkin @galyonkin.com · 12/11/2025I still have two Steam Machine prototypes in my garage from ~10 years ago. But this time it actually feels like the idea has a chance. Steam Deck compatibility + SteamOS maturity make a big difference! Now it all comes down to price and performance - people expect a lot from a living-room PC. 0130

Sergiy Galyonkin @galyonkin.com · 25/10/2025Once Upon a Katamari is the perfect kind of sequel: familiar, but better in every way. Quirky, a bit more difficult, less repetitive. And still weirdly meditative to play. 040
Sergiy Galyonkin @galyonkin.com · 23/10/2025I can’t quite figure out who the Leica M EV1 is aimed at. If the rangefinder’s getting harder to use (say, eyes are getting worse), most people would just stick a Visoflex on their M11, right? How big is the audience that loves manual focus but hates rangefinders and wants focus peaking instead? 020
Sergiy Galyonkin @galyonkin.com · 16/10/2025Wow, a new Dick Turpin on Apple TV! I thought they canceled it! And it's so good! C'mon, Apple, give us the second season! 000
Sergiy Galyonkin @galyonkin.com · 26/09/2025Hades 2 is awesome. Runs like magic on Switch 2, even in portable mode. 180
Sergiy Galyonkin @galyonkin.com · 22/09/2025This GDC announcement is certainly confusing. And the deck doesn't make things any clearer. Is it a consumer show now? Is it just cheaper? What changed? ubm.ent.box.com/v/GDC26-FoG-...ubm.ent.box.comGDC26_New Era Deck.pdf | Powered by Box 091
Sergiy Galyonkin @galyonkin.com · 15/07/2025RX1R is back! So happy about the fixed-lens cameras having such a massive comeback. And with Sony now back in play, it should get really interesting. It seems to have the same sensor as Q3, but the camera is much smaller and lighter. No mention of IBIS, though electronics.sony.com/imaging/comp...electronics.sony.com 000
Sergiy Galyonkin @galyonkin.com · 13/07/2025Here is a dilemma. I love my Leica M11 – it makes me slow down, think about focus and framing, but I often miss the shot. My Q3 43’s autofocus and flip-screen are perfect for quick snaps – but I end up spray-and-praying, and often get mediocre pictures. Which one should I pack for the next trip? 240
Sergiy Galyonkin @galyonkin.com · 03/07/2025Just got Unicorn Overlord on sale. Surprised I missed it when it launched - I am a big fan of Fire Emblem and Vanillaware games, so this is right up my alley. I only learned about the game a couple of months ago when I saw some merch in Akihabara, and it's been sitting on my wishlist since. 150

Sergiy Galyonkin @galyonkin.com · 30/06/2025I am thrilled they are making Project Hail Mary into a movie. I have no idea how they are going to pull this off, but The Martian wasn't half bad, so maybe this will be good, too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m08T...youtube.comProject Hail Mary - Official TrailerYouTube video by Amazon MGM Studios 140

Sergiy Galyonkin @galyonkin.com · 24/06/2025Took some pictures with CineGold filter today. It’s marketed as a “vintage look” filter for summer shots, and boy, does it deliver! I like mist filters, but this is the first gold mist filter I tried. I think it is great for the retro vibes, especially for photos taken in bright sun. 0100

Sergiy Galyonkin @galyonkin.com · 18/06/2025Okay, I wasn’t ready for how ridiculously fun Donkey Kong: Bananza looks. It’s got the same magic as Echoes of Wisdom: a familiar formula flipped on its head. Might be a better launch title than even a Mario mainline game. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVUi...youtube.comDonkey Kong Bananza Direct 6.18.2025YouTube video by Nintendo of America 070

Sergiy Galyonkin @galyonkin.com · 16/06/2025Just wrapped up the main story in Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma – took me about 40 hours. Now onto leveling up the villages, deepening bonds, and running all the festivals. Still tons to do, and I’m loving every minute. 140
Sergiy Galyonkin @galyonkin.com · 13/06/2025I love everything about the Fuji X-E5 – it’s tiny, but still packs a mechanical shutter and IBIS. Everyone’s suggesting the 23mm kit lens to mimic the X100, but I’d go with the 35mm f/2. It turns the X-E5 into a compact street/portrait beast – Fuji’s take on the Leica Q3 43. 120
