I was in my early 20s when BG1, BG2, NWN, and Icewind Dale came out. The hype was real, and it was a spectacular time in gaming.

It’s the whole ritual that makes it so special. How about a tea ceremony?

I wonder why it seems to be a different experience for everyone. Must be instance related, no? I mostly saw Linux, memes, technology and politics before blocking them.

I remember when all these games were just coming out and the hype surrounding them. My favourite was always Minsc and his hamster companion Boo from BG1.

I’ll keep Gmail for any shit I might want to sign up for and use ProtonMail as my serious email account.

Like driving my car. I haven’t got a clue how it all works under the hood but I know enough to get me where I want, when I want.

Tasmania. Winter is really warm, so warm that we have flowers and blossoms appearing during times we’d normally have frosty conditions.

+GenX. Actually, never mind. We’d rather stay out of it.

It made for fascinating reading

Solid advice

Well, we’re heading towards summer here in Tasmania so I will be keeping a close eye on the mainland to see how bad the bushfires will be. This will give me a good indication of how fucked we’ll be for the summer of 24.

That’s exactly what it feels like. It’s so refreshing and I like the fact I can scroll for about 30 mins, exhaust my feed and step away. I don’t get sucked in for most of the day like Reddit.

Wadjet Eye games are soooo good.

Have you checked out Caves of Lore? It’s a great party based rpg with deep lore and created by a single developer. It reminds me of Jeff Vogel’s work a bit.

I’m so sick of every show getting cancelled. I won’t even try a new show unless there’s at least 2 seasons now.

These days I often just skip the first 2 pages and go straight to page 3 for my search results to be able to find anything slightly resembling what I searched for.

For me it’s more that I forget where I was and what I was up to, as well as having to reacquaint myself with the controls. Shorter games don’t have that problem.

Against the storm is on my wish list! Just waiting for a good discount.

Caves of lore; a pixel (up to 6) party turn based RPG created by a single very active developer. Has shades of Jeff Vogel in it for me. Great little game that not many have heard of.
