I’m Rook. I grew up in a small flat where the television was the warmest thing in the room, and I still play like that: slowly, in the evenings, one hour at a time.

This journal is about the things that keep pulling me back — old games and their music, the hardware they ran on, pixel art, and the handful of worlds I return to every year. I’m not a collector, a speedrunner or a reviewer. I’m the person who talks to every villager twice.

Entries are irregular. Some months I’m too busy playing to write, and the Save Points page is honest about that.

Every page is plain HTML and CSS generated by a small Python script. It works without JavaScript; the only script lets you move through menus with the arrow keys.

All pictures — icons, landscapes, the window frames and the pixel lettering — were drawn for this site on a grid. Body text uses your system’s own fonts.

No trackers, no cookies, no comments, no accounts. The whole site weighs less than a single photo from a modern phone. If you want to know about new entries, use the RSS feed.
