Usually when people link me I see the trackback and I visit their site. I check the place out, read some posts, maybe leave a comment, and if there is anything that catches my eye I like to link them back.
However, I’m never sure what to do in a case like this. Looks like the author is responding to my wordpress plugin, but it seems sort of pointless trying to leave a comment. The author might be saying “this is a great plugin”. They might also be saying, “this idiot made a plugin that only works in English”. Either one is true.

Okay, I just tried Babelfish and it did an impressive job. (Any level of coherant translation out of a computer is impressive in my book.) Looks like the author just made a version of the Useless Stats plugin for Japanese speakers. Nice!
Bethesda’s Launcher is Everything You Expect
From the company that brought us Fallout 76 comes a storefront / Steam competitor. It's a work of perfect awfulness. This is a monument to un-usability and anti-features.
Stolen Pixels
A screencap comic that poked fun at videogames and the industry. The comic has ended, but there's plenty of archives for you to binge on.
Revisiting a Dead Engine
I wanted to take the file format of a late 90s shooter and read it in modern-day Unity. This is the result.
D&D Campaign
WAY back in 2005, I wrote about a D&D campaign I was running. The campaign is still there, in the bottom-most strata of the archives.
If Star Wars Was Made in 2006?
Imagine if the original Star Wars hadn't appeared in the 1970's, but instead was pitched to studios in 2006. How would that turn out?
The best free online Japanese->English translator I know of is Excite Japan’s: http://www.excite.co.jp/world/english/
Rough translation: “Useless Stats displays simple analysis (logs?) data on the management dashboard sidebar.”
