On their second expedition into the Cloakwood, Aegon and his Troupe assaulted the spider’s den. They wiped out the entourage of the creature within, but it cost them the lives of Breagar and Imoen.
Bok McDonagh
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.
Crawling the Cu Chi Tunnels
During the war, Vietnam defended itself using guerilla warfare, relying on stealth and sabotage to fight a superior military power. To support this, the Vietcong had a vast network of tunnels that lay beneath much of the country.
I Completed Miracle Sudoku
I’ve been playing the puzzles in this game on and off for months. Now, after 74 hours in this game, I have completed all 100 puzzles. This will now be the 8th game I’ve full completed in my Steam Library. Only 430 to go.
Butterfly Creative Mode Tab
One detail I’ve been struggling with while developing Bok’s Banging Butterflies is where to put the items in the Creative Inventory. While playing other mods for inspiration, I saw many create a dedicated Creative Tab just for their content. A tidy, mod-branded spot that makes everything easier to find.
A Year Without Cigarettes
The other day I was shaving and I noticed my teeth in the mirror. They were so white. I was used to them always having a slightly yellow tint, so I was surprised, especially as I hadn’t changed my brushing routine.
Return to the Spider’s Den
After Kivan joined them, the Troupe have made their way back to the Cloakwood. On their return to the Iron Throne’s mine, they must once again face the perils that lie within. Two seek their vengeance, but all seek a way to end Tazok’s grip on the Sword Coast.
Being a Ho Chi Minh Foodie
Whenever I land in a new country, the first thing I want to taste is the soul of the place. In Vietnam, that soul lives in bowls of steaming broth, cups of bitter coffee, and street food.
Learning Forged Battalion
I’ve been relearning how to play strategy games old-skool style, thanks to Petroglyph’s Forged Battalion. It’s not been an easy game to get into. It has a steep learning curve, but once you start to understand some basic strategies you’ll find there’s a fun experience hidden within.
Improving the Publish Script
Recently I implemented some scripts to automatically publish new versions of Bok’s Banging Butterflies to several platforms. In order to support this, I added a new step where I needed to update the version in the publish script itself.
Posting to Social Media
Since Musk took over Twitter and due to changes in policy from Meta, I’ve been looking for alternatives for social media. Several new social media apps have launched over recent years, though their popularity varies. I’ve also been revisiting some older platforms to engage more with the world.
