By the way, am I the only one who doesn't hate the new numbering system for Minecraft versions?

2025 is slowly coming to an end, so the time has come to reflect on the year and look forward to the future. What was a big highlight for you this year?

Voice over for next Koen's Corner's recorded! Will be editing in the following days!

A few months ago, a friend of mine sold me this really sick handheld; Steam Deck. Here is a quick blog post about it, and my experiences with it so far.

A few months ago I wrote a little poem in regards to optimism on PhantomStrider's YouTube page. Now it is available to read on my website, right here: koenscorner.com?p=369

I would argue this legend has not aged a single bit since 2017. I do definitely really like his much calmer demeanor though, compared to the very in your face expression that he had back in the day, hahaha. Just kidding Strider, keep being awesome, man

So fun fact: A Phoenix Star plush is gonna get made in the following months!

Could someone explain to me how in the world folks can drink coffee? Because I don't see it. I tried coffee on occasion, and I really despise the taste of it. It tastes bitter like hell 😆 Genuine question though; how do so many folks enjoy coffee as much as they do?

Actually fun fact: ripping DVD's you own is not a legal gray area. It is entirely legal to rip movies or TV shows you own. What isn't legal is distributing the material you rip off of them, say on a torrent site for example. We have been doing this since the days of cassettes and VHS

A new Zootopia is coming soon, and I'm very excited to see it! The first movie still reigns among my absolute favorites from Disney ever, and because I'm a fucking idiot, I'm extremely optimistic about this sequel. I'm definitely gonna check it out when it comes out. Are you?

The moment when the creator of a TV show advocates for piracy due to generative AI, you done fucked up on literally all levels. This just does not happen, never before have I seen an actual creator like this outright telling you to pirate their show.

I come across a variety of weird shit in #IT. Here is one golden example of that: koenscorner.com?p=262

Okay this project is exceptionally sick. If you're into vintage computers and have a couple yourself, definitely give this a look

Koen's Corner now has its own website! Read up on all things that go on in my life, stay up to date on all video projects I work on, and (hopefully) get inspired to create. Content creators unite! koenscorner.com

I just gotta ask.... How does something like this even happen to an all-in-one desktop computer???

After a long and exhausting week of work and chaos, I gotta say a good night sleep over the weekend was just what I needed

Friday has come! Just one final day at work to survive, and then it's weekend to enjoy! Do you have any plans for the weekend?

Okay, now you're just actively calling me out 😂

Sode tabgent: I genuinely am so jealous of how animals like my wolf brothers and sister can be so amazingly comfortable on a hard surface like that rock. This big boi looks like he's sleeping peaceful like fuck, and I want some of that

Website is coming along nicely, I've the blog fully functional, I got the theming done. Now I would like for there to be a nice gallery of photos I shoot and for wallpapers I have commissioned. But that's something for later. The foundation of my website is done! Will post when it's online. Arf!

Working for a computer refurbisher, you come across all kinds of crazy stuff. Including, but not limited to, laptops like this with completely busted screens. #hardwaregore

I could not agree more!

So I just gotta ask.... how do y'all feel about Plants vs Zombies Replanted? I just now started playing it, and I really like it. It's exactly what I figured an HD version of Plants vs Zombies would look like, and it's still really fun to play. And I'm having trouble seeing where the hate comes from

Okay, I'm not even an audio nerd, and I lowkey want this. This little thing looks sick!

My fellow Autists UNITE!

Does anyone have any recommedations for podcasts like this I could listen to/watch? Because I would be totally down for that kind of thing

Not gonna lie, lately I found myself really enjoying raw, unedited videos of a group of friends just goofing off, talking about whatever random bullshit comes to mind in that moment. Podcasts are genuinely so much fun

Things are currently happening! New website currently in the works! This right here is what I currently have for it. The thing is built in WordPress, it's not gonna be the most professional thing in the world, but it will at least be functional for what I want

Finally got a VPS that I can actually use! The website is coming! Might do a livestream of the process of me setting it up soon

Camels be epic

I just now came to the discovery that the particular VPS that I ordered today is NOT meant for regular consumers like myself, they are pretty much exclusively targeting the enterprise and required I show them a number of documents about my business... which I do not have.

Just ordered a new VPS server that I will be hosting something extremely exciting on. I will keep you all up to date on whatever is coming up for this

Today I will be revisiting a game that I have not touched in a long time. It's about time for some Crash Bandicoot, coming up LIVE on Koen's Corner youtu.be/6h6HBJbCu8E

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month ❤️‍🩹 #tempestshadow #fizzlepopberrytwist #mlp #mylittlepony #art #digitalart #fanart #mentalhealth #positive #reminders

Currently working hard on a very big project for Koen's Corner. Here's a small preview of what to expect youtu.be/9hvrQLwrGNs

What are the big plans for the weekend, if you have any at all?

I don't normally post about this sorta thing. I prefer to keep this far away from PSYT, but I gotta make an exception for this. If you do choose to get literally anything remotely related to Harry Potter, cross the bounds of legality, or buy secondhand stuff. Do NOT give Rowling your money at all

I've been thinking of maybe doing another Linux live stream again in the near future, since it has been quite some time since I've done that. Is there a particular distro that you would want to see me tinker with?

So I was in a call with some friends today, and we were discussing this utterly insane idea of this weird scenario of tens, if not hundreds of Phoenix Star clones sitting in a room, or in some of strange scenario.... Wouldn't that be incredibly cool? Or would it be scary as fuck? X3

Anyone else notice how rapidly some of the most legendary members of LMG have either left, or even been fired from the company? We lost Taran, Emily, Brandon, Johnathan, Jake, and now Alex. And all of them are now off doing other new, and exciting, better things. Honestly crazy to think about

Survived the week. Might do a live stream tomorrow

Caught a light cold today.... Oh, how lucky am I

I certainly am not ready for work today. I have been sleeping really bad lately, and it has been leaving me very tired. Not looking forward to today

Playing some neglected video games in my library, live on Koen's Corner youtu.be/yd3YXlADQv0

I'm gonna get back into live streaming this afternoon. Feel like it is long overdo at this point. Stay tuned for some Koen's Corner live goodness

My new camera came in today!

You know, watching Total Drama Island in 2025 is... Quite the experience. The 2000s really were a wild time, and this show was part of it. Remember that scene where one of the female had her top ripped off, revealing her breasts. It was blurred of course, but still wild to see today

Thinking of maybe doing a live stream again tonight. It has been a hot minute since I last did one of those. Would anyone even tune in, or care? We will have to see, I suppose

Behold: one of many glorious examples of laptops getting thoroughly abused. This is the kind of stuff I get to work with at my refurbishing job. Really darn fun, but also painful to see. #hardwaregore
