The Londoner movement is gaining too much traction. We are struggling to maintain our supply of coal and it’s getting even harder to maintain hope for our future. If I can just keep the people warm, I can maintain order and get us through this everlasting winter.
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.
Moths, Silk, and Startling
This week I add silk to the butterfly mod and finally add my first moth. This moth has its own unique behaviour, something I will start adding to several other butterflies. Along the way I fixed a bug or two, and discovered a couple more that need to be fixed.
Chang: A Drama of the Wilderness
Before they directed King Kong, Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack would create Chang, a “documentary” about the Laos people in Siam. It tells a story of man’s fight against the jungle, and how they were able to tame the elephant herd.
Return to Restenford (Again)
The Troupe has explored the island around Restenford and come across many troubles. Bandits to the north, ogre mages leading gnolls, hobgoblins led by a wraith. They’ve fought a lot, become stronger, and defeated these evils. Now it is time to return to Pelltar and return to the Sword Coast.
Grandfather and Grandmother
Sometime after staying in Phuket, we travelled to Koh Samui. We stayed near Lamai Beach, so decided to take a visit to the Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks. Take a quick guess at how they got their names.
Frostpunk: Hoping for Coal
I continue in my attempt to save humanity in the frozen wastelands of Frostpunk. Battling both the rebellious Londoners and a lack of resources, it’s getting harder to maintain hope for the future.
Just Like a Moth to a Flame
This week I continued adding new behaviours specifically for moths. Along the way I had to update the movement code (again) and fix a minor bug. But now moths will be drawn to light and use a different landing animation.
I Found the 3x Buldak Noodles
I found the 3x Buldak noodles that were recalled in Denmark. These are the spiciest variety, so I had to see if these would outdo my love for spicy foods. Are these really too spicy for humans to eat.
The Return to Restenford
The Troupe have escaped Bone Hill Castle via the tunnels underneath. They have defeated the Wraith and prevented an invasion of Restenford. But it came at the cost of Viconia’s life.
Bukit (Phuket) Elephant Park
One of the things I wanted to do in Thailand was to visit an ethical elephant sanctuary. This turned out to be really simple, but it left a few questions lingering in my mind. Is there such a thing as an ethical sanctuary in Thailand.
