I hope that everyone is excited for at least two more weeks of me just playing Infinity Nikki.I can never remember what type of formatting to use so I am just running amok using whatever.
Not much to say except that I keep playing, thinking that I’m going to run out of content, but than the game just gives me a whole new thing to work on for a few days.
What are you guys doing this week?
Dangit! Human fights flu. (Ding! 27)
Paige is out sick so no usual Monday post this week, instead you get me being mildly grouchy. It occurs to me that Peter and I spend a lot of time apologizing for being grouchy, when dad made an entire career of it (according to him, anyway).
Where’s Bay been?

Wednesday Action Log 01-29-25
This week, I’ve just been playing Infinity Nikki.
I think it’s the perfect game. It has everything—fishing, bug catching, combat, animal grooming, bike riding, and photography. Okay, maybe not everything, but there’s definitely a lot to do. In this game, almost everyone’s problems can be solved with fashion. Someone’s sad? Just be pretty at them. Someone’s getting bullied? Scare them away with superior style. The world’s ending? Be fancy.
And lastly. The game is just really pretty
What’s Everyone else doing this week?
Week Off for Paige
Hi, folks. Still working on the next post, but everything has been a bit off-kilter this weekend. Doesn’t help that we lost water for a few days thanks to below-freezing temperatures, but it was still an accident. There were things that *may* have helped, but we had a pretty extreme situation. Some plumbing repair took care of the biggest problem, but we still have a tiny leak (that will become bigger…they always do) and some electrical re-location that needs to be done. We’re waiting for a time period of good temperatures, which should be coming up. A little bit more to look at after the fold.

DM of the Rings Remastered CIII: A Brief History of You
From The Archives:
Trashing the Heap
What does it mean when a program crashes, and why does it happen?
Blistering Stupidity of Fallout 3
Yeah, this game is a classic. But the story is idiotic, incoherent, thematically confused, and patronizing.
Twelve Years
Even allegedly smart people can make life-changing blunders that seem very, very obvious in retrospect.
Juvenile and Proud
Yes, this game is loud, crude, childish, and stupid. But it it knows what it wants to be and nails it. And that's admirable.
Bowlercoaster
Two minutes of fun at the expense of a badly-run theme park.
The Death of Half-Life
Valve still hasn't admitted it, but the Half-Life franchise is dead. So what made these games so popular anyway?
PC Gaming Golden Age
It's not a legend. It was real. There was a time before DLC. Before DRM. Before crappy ports. It was glorious.
DM of the Rings
Both a celebration and an evisceration of tabletop roleplaying games, by twisting the Lord of the Rings films into a D&D game.
Project Octant
A programming project where I set out to make a Minecraft-style world so I can experiment with Octree data.
Raytracing
Raytracing is coming. Slowly. Eventually. What is it and what will it mean for game development?
