One problem that’s been around since the mod’s inception is that butterfly spawns take away from other animal spawns.

The Mummy (1999) Film Review
Despite mixed reviews upon release, The Mummy became a commercial hit in 1999. It kicked off a short-lived franchise and is now considered a cult classic.
No Other Way But Forwards
Aegon and the Troupe have discovered the Iron Throne’s Mine in the Cloakwood. Protected by a motte and bailey, they scout the surrounding area for and other ways of entry. However, it’s looking more likely they will have to assault the mine head on.
Nightlife on the Outskirts
While in Vientiane we wanted to explore the city’s nightlife. On this particular day we wandered toward the outskirts of the city, in search of the fabled Irish bar that many online had recommended.
Enemy Within the Long War

Laos Art at i:cat gallery
We had plenty of time in Vientiane, so we explored not just the main tourist attractions but also some lesser-known spots on the outskirts of the city. One of our favourite discoveries was a small, independent art gallery showcasing contemporary work by local artists.
Switching Cars, Switching Lanes
Switchcars is an incredibly fast-paced rogue-lite that, while simple on the surface, is full of incredible depth and detail. Easy to pick up but brutally hard to master, Switchcars is the kind of game that digs its hooks in and doesn’t let go.
