Anthem research is progressing nicely, lotsa notes and photography piling up.
I'm pissed that it'll soon be all lost though. The game is hindered by high-level decisions, sure. But it still contains a shitload of worldbuilding, acting, environment design, graphical assets, etc.. Lots of good work.

Stuck at the point in Anthem where I need to repair the power armour of one last PC or NPC.
Which at this point in the game means cruising around and hoping for a mission to trigger where there are NPCs that can get downed.
Not great.

Regular reminder that the majority of the people who dreamed up the stories you love are, like, BROKE broke, and that most of the money spent on their work was given to Some Guy™️ instead.

Ack, misunderstood a challenge I need to advance the Anthem storyline.
Looks like I'll be spending a fair bit of time tomorrow chasing light infantry around with a siege canon. I'll try not to hum Yackety Sax in so doing, but I need quick kills.

Ran into one of these folks who can't conceive of somebody having an ethical stance without a venal ulterior motive.
And now I again want to exterminate humanity.
But I can't do that ! Who would feed the house cats ? Human corpses eventually despawn !

Anthem footage done and published.
The YouTube channel is a sparse side note. But it's where I upload video footage in those few cases I need it for an article.
Usually it's video game footage to show what a game world looks like. Since videos by other people might quietly disappear.

I've found a simple way to model the vampiric demon sword in the DC Heroes #TTRPG during my daily walk.
Not only that, but I've managed not to exclaim "I've found a simple way to model the vampiric demon sword !!" in the middle of the crowd.

Currently working on a Fire*Wolf profile. B-list gamebook series from 40+ years ago, presumably unknown outside of the UK and France.

We've reached the 20th of December, so I'm halting update messages until early January.
People tend to be busy with other stuff. And ATProto + ActivityPub (via bridge) remains a small network.
Continuing announcements would therefore, as the French say, achieve as much as pissing into a violin.

End-of-year haul. Most of these are extremely affordable indie games with next to no marketing, so I figured it might interest a few folx.
In an impossibly perfect world, all of these would beget writeups dot org profiles. But, well, you know.

Surprisingly, the Colossus (1975-1980) draft sits at the 4,000 words soft threshold !
It will go to peer review once I've slept enough to do another editing pass. 😺
Next will be Wolverine (1974-1980) which... oooh, boy. That one will require aspirin. 🙀

Added to our "speciality handguns" Weapons Locker article a bit about the Colt SCAMP.
In the real world, this distinctive light machine pistol project was aborted. But it could be useful in various stories. Starting with super-hero comics, techno-thrillers, and super-spy stories.

The new #Warframe Player Character rendering looks way better, so I reckon I'll eventually redo photography for our sample character.
"Eventually" since the odds I'll be able to play WF in the short or medium term are nil. Which I resent, but there's far too much work wot needs to get done ASAP.

FWIW I've add good experiences with the Zen (light and minimalist) and Floorp (extensively tinkerable) forks of Firefox.
Waterfox is often mentioned, but I have no experience with it.
And there's Vivaldi if you still want/need a Chromium engine.
