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?

DM of the Rings Remastered CIV: Girl Trouble
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:
The Best of 2018
I called 2018 "The Year of Good News". Here is a list of the games I thought were interesting or worth talking about that year.
The Middle Ages
Would you have survived in the middle ages?
Programming Language for Games
Game developer Jon Blow is making a programming language just for games. Why is he doing this, and what will it mean for game development?
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.
Diablo III Retrospective
We were so upset by the server problems and real money auction that we overlooked just how terrible everything else is.
Programming Vexations
Here is a 13 part series where I talk about programming games, programming languages, and programming problems.
Trashing the Heap
What does it mean when a program crashes, and why does it happen?
The Gradient of Plot Holes
Most stories have plot holes. The failure isn't that they exist, it's when you notice them while immersed in the story.
Patreon!
Why Google sucks, and what made me switch to crowdfunding for this site.
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.
