It’s been a fascinating year. This year I kept roaming the world, but for the first time in a long time, I did it solo. And I stumbled into a new mission: building weird temporary cities out of art, fire, and often too much sound.
DocBok
I am Bok, a British-born expat living in China. I was born in Lancashire but identify as a 'plassie-Scouser'. I spent my youth growing up in Cumbria. Here I developed a great taste for exploration, climbing mountains and camping in the wilderness - a taste for travel that has defined my life.
Breaking the Wizard’s Chains
While the troupe attempts to infiltrate the Iron Throne’s Mine, they come across a wizard defending the lower levels. The mage manages to take control of Aegon’s mind, who turns against his own Troupe. They flee and now Aegon must find a way to resist the wizard’s charm.
Dalat Youth Prison Museum
Dalat is known for its culture of art and creativity. But perhaps the most important place to visit in this city is the Youth Prison Museum. This place preserves the brutal history of how young children loyal to their country were treated during the war.
Finding A Hidden Tutorial
I’ve been playing more Cthulhu Realms lately, attempting to learn how to play better by finishing the hard campaign. It was only after beating my head against the hard campaign that I discovered the achievements are the real way to learn how to play.
Some New Butterfly Variants
Bok’s Banging Butterflies adds butterflies and moths to Minecraft. This week I’ve experimented with the new variant system to add some flavour to already existing butterflies. I’ve also added a small effect that should allow observant players to spot beneficial mud puddle areas at a glance.
The Worst Episode of Stargate?
While Code of Honor is considered by many to be the worst episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Emancipation is often considered to be the worst of Stargate SG-1.
Through the Secret Tunnel
Aegon and the Troupe enter the Iron Throne’s mine and discover the miners to be slaves. They have provided the Troupe with a plan to flood the mine. Though they may not find Tazok here, they have agreed to stick yet another thorn in the Iron Throne’s plans.
The Maze Bar with 100 Roofs
Dalat is a place where art seems to breathe with the air itself, where the walls whisper stories carved in wood and stone.
Death of the Android Race
The Space Crew fight their way across Alpha Centauri against androids left behind by the Phasmids wiped out near Earth. Seeking revenge for the death of their creators, the androids are a threat to humanity’s colonies in a new solar system.
Why Reducing Logspam Matters
Recently, a bug was submitted about Bok’s Banging Butterflies complaining that there was too much logging by the mod. This might seem unimportant at first, but efficient logging is vital to any project. You ignore bad logging at your peril.
