I have a list of around 80 shows to watch and instead of going through it, here I am on my 20th Solo Leveling watch 🙄 I don’t know why it’s so hard to watch new content for me, always go back to something I know it’s “safe” to watch

I’ve been avoiding getting into making my own coffee water because I thought it didn’t change anything. Roaster sent me a gift pack of sachets, and oh boy was I wrong 🙄 Guess it’s now an added expense for me

I never paid attention to cauldrons on my first few runs of Horizon, glad I did this time, I had no idea you could unlock this Clawstrider mount 🦖

Alright, the interval training app seems to the the one closer to the 12 people 🥋

It took us 3.5h for the first person to go bankrupt in Monopoly. Not sure if the digital is better than the physical game but we had a lot of fun

Google Play won't let me launch RoundForge (my free, combat-sports interval timer) until 12 testers run the beta for 14 days. I have 4. If you have an Android: send me your Google email, I'll add you + send an opt-in link. Install, keep it 2 weeks, done 🥊 Reposts help!

I'm running out of gas way too fast when doing taekwondo sparring, so decided to do endurance training, was gonna look for a simple interval app and ended up building my own 😅 It gives me voice commands so that I don't have to look at it, while I'm working on the heavy bag

Other than actual bags of sand, any recs on what to use to fill a heavy bag’s base? I don’t wanna do water or loose sand, because then every time I knock it down then it spills.

I’ve worked in software that runs operations for some of the biggest freight forwarders out there, and my family thinks I don’t work because I work from home. Oh, but I made a cute plant care app to keep track of all the houseplants and suddenly I’m their hero 🤷🏻‍♂️

I decided to own my media, after loosing access to some digital “purchases” when moving to Canada not going back, so if all that PS will have to offer is licensing instead of ownership, they’re not getting any $$ from me I can just replay Horizon & The Witcher for years

spent 4 days in the hospital for my son’s surgery, there is a Ronald McDonald room with amenities, food, etc So I survived the 4 days eating their microwaved grilled cheese sandwiches 🤣 Thankful for their support, having a room with a bed and a shower minutes away from my son’s bed helped us tons

Finally made the time to grab the belt holders :D Hope to eventually feel them up until the black belts 🥋

No matter how many times I play these games, it never gets old, before Horizon, every few months I take a couple of days to just go through them and still enjoy them like the first time. Before Horizon I was hyper-focused on a game from 1997, so it was a good upgrade HHAHA

Jorge Vergara @jorgevergara.co · 28/12/2025

It’s that time of the year when I unhealthily hyper focus on this game. It’s as amazing as the first time I played it

What started as a “what if” has been slowly transforming into something we care a lot about 🥋 Wish my knees gave a fuck about what I care about too though 😂

Spent the entire day trying to figure out why I couldn't build the native version of my app because I read too fast and missed this bit =/

For iOS only, since firebase-ios-sdk requires use_frameworks then you want to configure expo-build-properties app.json by adding "useFrameworks": "static". See the example configuration below.

It all started as a joke “why don’t we try the free class to see how bad we do it?” And can’t express how happy I am we did that, taekwondo has given me my strength and confidence back Still a long road ahead, but enjoying every minute of it 🥋

Oh man, this particular one made me question the state of everything, not sure how I feel about asking grok for their thoughts and opinions =/

tweet that reads: @grok can you read this whole thread? If so, what are you thoughts on my experience here with replit and the database issue? In the end, it was easy to roll back. But man what i was told by Replit was so different
