{title}

+ Published on the from my home in Amsterdam, where it's beginning to rain more often again :) +

+ +

In an unxpected turn of events it has been decided that we would buy a gaming laptop at home, which means I can play some PC games finally.

+

I started playing God of War (2018). Not quite satisfied with the graphics -- I play it on an RTX 4060 Laptop GPU. I know that's not the same as the discrete desktop RTX 4060, but I'm still surprised by the quality. I would say it's a bit "grainy". Although it might also be just the game being ported to PC??? I don't know, I've not tried other games yet.

+

* Sep. 28 UPDATE: it was a default game setting I did not notice: the render resolution was actually low (DLSS) -- I turned that off to render at native resolution and now I'm happy with the graphics! :)

+

In other news, I'm quite stressed, to be honest, still figuring out where I fit in a totally new job. Stress is not always bad though. It's okay.

Christmas holidays as started for me.

+ +

I think I finished all needed stuff for work. Also messaged people online for a final happy holiday greetings of the year. Will go offline til January and figure out my rhythm for next year.

Reading Radical Candor by Kim Scott. Surprised a lot of the concepts I already know and observe. Feels like a lot of these kind of books are a rehash of concepts in "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" and "How to Make Friends and Influence People" -- I recommend those first before this one! I like that “humility” was also given a spotlight; there's not enough attention to the effectivity/productivity of acknowledging you can be wrong and welcoming feedback (both praise & criticism). Hard to capture in a paragraph though -- ask me to elaborate if you want and when given the chance!

+ +

Spent some time in Aachen, Germany with the fam. Walked around the Christmas Market there. Food trip galore, sat at cafes, read books, bought stuff. :)

+ +

But the highlight is going to Monschau on a day trip. Kahel buit a small snowman.
