I thought I'd be able to get up and go to work. Was able to speak for a full hour yesterday. Today I've woken up and just cough and cough.

Just Finished Watching: Arcadian It pretty much did what I expected it to do. Goofy monster effects greatly reduce the horror level. www.imdb.com/title/tt2293...

Starting watching a movie called Arcadian on SBS. It has far too many production credits and overlays at the start... Let me guess. At some point the token farm woman appears and Cage blows himself up at the end to protect his kids. I'll find out soon.

Youtube is still recommending me "Person born after Half-Life plays Half-Life" vids. As long as they don't have that Zoomer/Gen-α voice, I'm kinda fascinated on how they handle it. A lot call it 'jank' before they start. It's not totally wrong. But they have started with games built upon this one.

Just had to drive through Evanston(?)/Gawler with the Wayland road closure. Hell. Absolute hell. I'm grateful they are finally doing something about the road from the Xavier bridge through to Mallala... But I now understand how people are driven to genocide. I want to crack the planet in half.

Happy October Eve! For Hallozeen this year, I made a 16-page walkthrough for a 36 year-old shareware classic. Primarily out of trash. I have no idea who the target audience is for this, besides me, but here you go! emmfoolery.itch.io/a-hallozeen-... #dosgaming #retrogaming
The opening game screen of Hugo's House of Horrors, by David P. Gray, for MS-DOS. A game released like, two weeks before I was born. Hugo's outside a haunted house! Spooky.

Write tight short episodes, or doubles. The season plot arc is the little bits that link together, not one big story. Don't pander to us in a condescending manner. We can smell corporate committee writing involvement lightyears away, stop. And lastly: Make the Doctor a ginger.

It absolutely is. In games where a single roll is generally less consequential, players have less anxiety and in general have a less emotional reaction to something going "wrong". Games that incorporate graze/miss mechanics and avoid whopper enemy crits ameliorate these kinds of reactions.

Aqua Walrus on "Legends of Amberland" LoA is fun, but the bit I agreed about the most is Aqua's line on 'variety'. It's all pretty, but does not go as deep into weirdness that its inspiration, MM3/4/5, did. I do love this type of cartoony blobber though. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBjI...

Went to the doctor. Despite the issues with the constant coughing, and now a slight headache from coughing, they're not seeing any signs on infection. Beath Deep for the stethoscope. Lungs are fine. They do not feel it. Anyway, I have been swabbed and now have a new set of meds to trial! D:
