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?
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?

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?
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.

This week I’ve actually played some games.
I played the demo for Heroes of Hammerwatch II. It was fine. I don’t know if it was just the demo, but there was almost no tutorial or guide, so there was about an hour of playing where I didn’t know what I was doing at all. Other than that, it was just fine.
Most of my time this week has been spent on a newly released game that is outside of my normal genre. Infinity Nikki. It’s a hard game to explain; it has a lot of modern Nintendo elements, some Super Mario Odyssey, a bit of Breath of the Wild, and a tiny bit of Pokémon vibes, all wrapped up in a game about dresses and fashion. Every thing you do is related to your outfit, your double jump has its own outfit, and so does your bug net.
And an outfit for combat.
A lot of the game consists of making outfits and finding clothing, as well as materials for your outfits. Then you have your ability outfits. You can’t change your ability outfits the same as your regular outfits. You can get alternate ones, but can’t really customize (at least as far as I know).
There’s also parkour.
Since I’m not the best at explaining games, I’ll just say: if you played Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom, and got excited when you found a new piece of armor, you’ll probably like this game.
Anyway, what’s everyone else doing this week?
What was the problem with the Playstation 3 hardware and why did Sony build it that way?
What did web browsers look like 20 years ago, and what kind of crazy features did they have?
What are publishers doing to fight piracy and why is it all wrong?
So what happens when a SOFTWARE engineer tries to review hardware? This. This happens.
A big chunk of the internet went down in October of 2016. What happened? Was it a hack?
Is it real? Is PC gaming returning to its former glory? Sort of. It's complicated.
His problem isn't that he's dumb, the problem is that he bends the world he inhabits.
An attempt to make a good looking cityscape with nothing but simple tricks and a few rectangles of light.
There's a wonderful way to balance difficulty in RPGs, and designers try to prevent it. For some reason.
What is "Domino Worldbuilding" and how did it help to make Mass Effect one of the most interesting settings in modern RPGs?
