I’ve started playing a classic game inspired by the Mexican Day of the Dead. You play a Grim Reaper who’s not so great at his job, but ends up discovering a conspiracy in the afterlife. I’m playing through the remastered version of the game and so far, it’s pretty entertaining.
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.
Pacifying Peacemaker Butterflies
This week’s release adds a method of pacifying Peacemaker Butterflies. They won’t fight for you, but at the least they will leave you alone as you explore the world. Now you can create alien apiaries that are safe for you to walk through.
I’m Going to a Burn in Bali
I won’t be posting for a while, since I’ll be out in the wilderness of Bali enjoying a Burn with my Russian friends. While Lampu isn’t an official regional, it’s still an event held under the Ten Principles of Burning Man, and I’m excited to see how it plays out.
Searching Davaeorn’s Lair
Aegon and the Troupe have descended to the lowest level of the mines and faced up against Davaeorn and his mercenaries.
The Boa Dai Summer Palace
Bao Dai, the last Emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty, built 3 palaces in Dalat. The third one, now known as Bao Dai Palace 3, is the most popular with tourists today. It sits as an example of French-influenced architecture and of the extravagant lifestyle enjoyed by the ruling classes.
Lego: Star Wars: The Complete Saga
This week I tried to get into an older game that combines two of the best things in the world. I was extremely hyped to start playing this game. Lego and Star Wars in one package, what could possibly go wrong?
Destroying Some Ancient Bugs
This week I’ve created a new release that fixes some bugs that have been in the mod for far too long. The movement bug in particular has been annoying for a while, and relied on an extremely hack piece of code attempting to cover it up.
Happy Year of the Fire Horse!
The Gregorian New Year has come and gone, but that doesn’t mean that the celebrations are over. The Luna New Year has just gone by, an important time of the year for China. It’s the worlds largest exodus of people, and a time to think about the year ahead.
The Battle of the Cloakwood
The Troupe have descended to the lowest level of the Cloakwood Mines and find themselves face-to-face with Davaeorn’s entourage. Their assault doesn’t go well, and they are forced to retreat for a short while. But now reinforcements are arriving through the upper levels and there is no escape.
A Hike Half Way Up Lang Biang
I always enjoy hiking when I can, and so I looked for a good place to do so while I was on the Dalat Peninsula. To the north of Dalat is a small town sitting beneath a mountain, both bearing the name Lang Biang.
