Sometimes you need to slow down and focus on other things, and this week has been particularly hectic. So, I didn’t get as much done this week as I usually do. I still fixed a couple of bugs and added a new feature.
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.
Mr. Robot: I am Elliot Alderson
One year I was flying back to Shanghai from Burning Man and I was browsing the in-flight entertainment. I found a show that featured a character that seemed eerily familiar. There was something buzzing in the back of my brain when I watched it.
The Curse of Captain Brage
The Troupe, having explored the border between the Sword Coast and Amn, now make their way to the north. Ogres and gibberlings may be dead, but there are still bandits prowling the area. North will lead them to the Cloakwood, and to Tazok, the leader of the bandits.
Exploring Chiang Mai Temples
On our first day in Chiang Mai we decided to try out the prison massage. We had to book a few hours in advance, however, so we decided to wander the city and see what we could find.
Super Meat Boy is a Challenge
Years ago I played a challenging flash game called “Meat Boy”, in which you had to speed-run levels, avoiding obstacles. Later, a sequel would be released across multiple platforms, and from what I heard it was a good game. I never found out because I never played it.
Bits and Bobs. And Sherds
This week I worked on a lot of small tasks. Some new features, a bugfix or two, some minor tweaks, and butterfly sherds. It’s nice to work on small things sometimes. It feels like you’ve achieved a lot more than usual.
Recycled Material Pickers
In Phnom Penh there is a bar known as the Meta House. It’s a good place to get some imported beers, as well as some decent German food. It’s also a German/Cambodian cultural center that runs film nights almost every day, and it’s free to attend.
Ogres, Ogres, Everywhere!
As a storm rages across the skies, Aegon and the Troupe continue their journey along the border. They have learned that the Bear River lives up to its name, and that bandits are still in the area. The continue on their journey toward the coast.
Learning Cabaret is a Life
While wandering Koh Tao we were handed a flyer for the Queen’s Cabaret. This is the local drag queen show. We were interested, but were unsure if it would be worth seeing.
It’s a Small World Indeed
Another board game adaptation, Small World is a fun, short game that can be played in about 30 minutes. It’s a very simple game, but it has depth to it that makes it difficult to master.
