What I Read and Played in 2024
This is the tenth anniversary report of my reading and gaming experiences over the past year. I’ve had even less time for these cultural consumptions because of another, small, new human beeing ❤️

After nine months, I have released a new version of my open-source game, Nazdar! The Game.
Call me an early adopter, but it’s only 2023 and I just bought a new Xbox Series X. I didn’t check in advance what the news was. I chose the Series X only because I have a collection of boxed games and want to be able to play them, not because of the higher performance over the extremely cheap Series S.
After more than a year of work, in March I “published” my more or less first real game, which I programmed in C# in the Monogame framework.
Who could resist building their own gaming console? I decided to build an Arcade Cabinet, in the “tabletop” version, also known as a Bartop. I watched several American videos (they all do it the same way) and adapted it a bit for Czech conditions and my own needs (no nail gun, no joysticks, no rubber around the edges). Finally, I found a reasonable use for my Raspberry Pi 3A, which was “lying around in a drawer”. All I had to do was install Retropie on it. I had already done that in the past, but the whole point is to have your own “hardware”, or better yet, a box.
