Unplanned change
So, there has been a slight unplanned change.
A good change (that’s nice, so unusual), well, good for me not you.
For you the reader it’s pretty much invisible, for me it’s…kinda fun at the very least.
“Move on…what is the change.”
I’ve moved the site to a non-free webhost.
For the first time in a few years. (since at least 2014)
Why is it fun? Well for one less technical constraints.
Only time will tell if that changes anything on the site or not.
I still have some posts to finish writing…and I think I lost the paper sheets where I jotted down the main points I wanted to focus on for at least two of the posts.
But they are coming…slowly.
Yeah, just a little site update. That’s all, see you.
Another thing on my recent urge to write.
I previously posted about a rare urge to write that I had. This post is a short continuation.
Another thing I did during that urge was, while re-reading old (2010-2011) project ideas, come up with a solution for one of them.
It was a survival horror game (what else could it be?) and I was stuck on what the nature of the danger was, monsters (as 99.9% of survival horrors)? demons? people? aliens? the mummy? nosferatu? a dog in a tutu? (I guess all of those could be classified as monsters one way or another, but that’s besides the point)

Sudden urge to write
So a few days ago I had a sudden urge to write (and a decent creative mood). Rare thing.
Typed some 9001 words (oh look, another overused Dragon Ball Z joke) on the computer and wrote 6 A5 pages by hand (that unfortunately don’t have an easy way to do word count) in 2 days, which for me is a shitload of writing.
Strangely, none were for the five posts that I still have in my wordpress drafts that have sat there for over a month.

Objection!!
Been replaying some old-ish games (am I not always doing that?)
Right now I’m replaying Phoenix Wright: Ace Attourney, I love this game, the mix of serious and silly is great.

Deadly anomalies, dangerous mutants, anarchists and bandits…
So, some 3 years ago, I posted that I was playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl and said I was going to play Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat next.
This was 3 years ago.
Still haven’t played them.
I mean, I started playing CS but got bored.
And of course along the way I found the mod Call of Chernobyl where I can just go and be a Loner on a map with all the locations of the game.
Small tweaks and changes on the site
As the title says.
Fixed the page numbers thingie.
And changed the menu to a drop-down menu which reflects the category hierarchy I want much better.
And that’s all for now, but I have a few posts on the queue.
Zettai Zetsumei Toshi 4+
So, it’s obvious I like this game series.
A couple of months ago (when I finally fixed my computer) I remembered that I hadn’t looked into 4+ since…ever.
So I looked into it.
And found a video of PS4 VR gameplay of it dating to the end of last year (2016).
(youtube video with shoddy framerate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iDYRTlnfBA)
Verdict: I might have ejaculated a little while watching the video.
At the same time, that’s very little in the way of gameplay per se, it’s more of a tech demo than anything.
Which might mean there’s not much more behind it.
Let’s hope the game gets finished before PS5 comes out.
This was just a short post.
Retro style, part…the end
So, my travel into 80s geek LARPing has come to an end last month.
Finally, was getting tired of listening to audio books.

Game2: winter
Many will remember at the beggining of the year there was sudden worldwide histeria about a Russian survival TV show called “Game2: winter”.
It was portrayed as a show where contestants could kill, rape and maim (and do many others mischevious things like hiding eachothers socks, I guess)
Obviously, as someone who likes survival shows, my curiousity was piqued.

Retro style, part 5 – more books
Part 5, will it be the final one?
I wonder.
I’m afraid I’m starting to enjoy LARPing as a 1980s nerd.
The lack of the dumbening warmth of flashing images (or at least a severe reduction of them) clears your mind.
I had already dropped TV some 10 years ago, but then jumped into the dumbening warmth of the computer. (in part that’s what weaned me off the tv)
And now without the computer (let’s be honest, without moving pictures the computer is boring as all hell)
But yeah, under penalty of sounding like a soft cunt, it’s actually been good mentally.
