Having been teleported to the town of Restenford by the wizard Pelltar, Aegon and the Troupe now seek to solve the troubles plaguing the town.
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.
Li Chunfeng Taoist Temple
Li Chunfeng (李淳风) was a Chinese astronomer, mathematician, historian and politician who lived during the Tang Dynasty. He is known for creating a new calendar that more accurately predicted the positions of the planets.
Haiku, the Robot: Ice and Fire
In my downtime between exploring the temples and markets of Xi’an, I’ve been continuing my way through Haiku, the Robot. The game’s influences are becoming more obvious as I near the end, but it doesn’t change how fun it is to play.
Minecraft Mods About Cats
I’m still in China and unable to continue work on my mod, so I’m going to talk about some mods I like involving cats instead. These are two very simple mods that don’t change too much. They’ll fit right in to any vanilla-style modpack.
X-Men ’97: Do You ‘Member?
When Marvel Studios first announced X-Men ’97 I was cautiously optimistic. It seemed like an odd choice to continue a series that ended last century, and (to me at least) it felt like yet more nostalgia bait.
The Return of Aegon Ratslayer
After meeting a wizard called Pelltar and agreeing to help him, Rose and the Troupe were teleported to the town of Restenford, on a remote isle to the south east of the Sword Coast.
Walking the Cliffs of Howth
While waiting for my Chinese visa in Dublin, I decided to do a spot of hiking. I found that Howth would be a nice walk on the outskirts of the city, so I picked a random route and set out on my way.
Exploring Haiku, the Robot
I tried to get into Hacknet, but it wasn’t working for me. I don’t think it’s a problem with the game, it’s just that a game that simulates hacking into servers felt a little bit too much work for me.
Villager Names and Death Messages
It turns out that behind the Great Firewall modding is difficult. Gradle is unable to download dependencies since a lot of them are blocked by China. VPNs can help circumvent this, but they aren’t very reliable at the moment.
Discovery Gets the Mystery Right
The final series of Discovery is airing right now. I’ve always had an issue with the storytelling in certain nuTrek series. I’ve talked a lot about this with Picard, but Discovery, while a better series, has had the same mystery box since the beginning.
