BRECKEN'S SITE

Home of random stuff I feel like adding


April 18th, 2025 | The Challenge

NOTE: It really stinks how I'm posting every month and that's it, but I'll try to set a reminder.

So there's this thing I've been trying to master on RetroAchievements, that being Pac-Man. But, it's not the subset I'm talking about.

What I'm actually referring to is the Perfect Pac Subset.

No one has ever mastered it, but I want to. In this subset, you must complete EVERY STAGE of the game PERFECTLY. This means you have to eat every dot and power pellet, get every ghost in one power pellet for every 4 in the maze, and not die a single time. Not only that, but you must do this 256 times IN A ROW in order to get a perfect score of 3,333,360 points and win.
It's very rage inducing, and will take weeks to months, but if you want to check my progress, you may check it here.

Wish me luck!

It's been almost a month since I wrote here, but here's what's going on with me.
Firstly, I've been wanting to join chess tournaments eventually. I don't care what level, just some sort of tournament. I've never been in one before, so that's why. Secondly, I really want to get better at arcade Donkey Kong. I've always wanted to get better at it, but it WILL take a while. I'll try to git gud. Finally, I will update this site as time goes on, and I'll try to add some goodies.

March 3rd, 2025 | RetroAchievements + Chess | #2

There isn't very much going on today, but I do want to talk about something, that being RetroAchievements. This is an add-on for some emulators that allows you to earn achievements for older games. Not only that, there is also leaderboards, forums, a full community, and more. It allows you to play retro games in an entirely new way! I highly recommend it for most emulators.

Chess

Chess is an amazing game. You know it's amazing because it's been over 1000 years and it's still popular! It's a game of strategy, focusing, and tactics. One of the best websites for this is Chess.com. You can play anyone, learn a lot, and so much more. I highly reccomend it. Also, here is my account: CLICK ME!

Today is like yesterday. I am restricted from most of the things I prefer to do from my parents, so I have three main options:

Though, I can't play Chess online right now, so I must play with my parents (as you would expect, it gets repetitive after a while). I've also been reading, which is nice, but the main thing I like to do is this.
Code.
I enjoy things like creating, and I also love technology as a whole. So why not? I'll try and update this as frequently as I can.
