On a previous post I included a picture of Harlech Castle, from very far away on a very grey day, in the evening time. Well I’ve corrected the injustice that photo did for it here by visiting it.
Harlech Castle, while a ruin, is quite well preserved. You can walk around the entire perimeter of the walls and then go up three of the four towers to access the walls from above, and get a really nice view.

The Chapel Tower (left), courtyard (centre, duh), and main…

Posting these things is a hostage negotiation. This stuff I'm making this week has been a for real internal battle. These things so rarely look like what I think they will and only sort of feel like I want them to feel when I look at them. There are naught but a dark council of internal dreads, with increasing sharpness and derision, just laying into me as I scratch and scratch and scratch.
It's loud in here. The voices have more stamina than is reasonable for being as old as I am.

Anthony Conwright, in a guest essay for The New York Times Opinion section (gift link):
Rebranding rebellion is nothing new. Americans take it for granted that the war between the Confederate states and the Union was always called the Civil War, but it was not. During the war and in its aftermath, it was primarily called an “insurrection” or a “rebellion.” Its current name is a result of decades of lobbying by Confederate heritage groups and white Southerners committed to rejuvenating the South’…

I have a main. An undead warlock that I've been playing for over 19 years, and never seriously wavered. And I still can't stop rolling alts. Both of those things are true, and if that sounds like a contradiction, welcome to my armory page.
The 52 characters that I leveled to max in War Within
Here's how it goes. I'll be perfectly happy on the warlock, chipping away at whatever the current thing is, and then I'll see a class and race combo that I don't have, or a class gets reworked, or Blizzard…

The mother of Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, a third-grade student grade student killed in U.S. airstrike on primary school in Minab:
I had prepared dinner for him and when he was eating he said: “Mom, the food you made tastes like heaven.”
I said: “My son, why are you saying this? You’ve never said this before.”
Around midnight he put pillows around himself and sat with his brother. He said: “Brother, let’s play. I’m Iran and you’re America. Let’s play with guns and tanks.”
They started playing together.…

I created Kordron to show off the capabilities of LangMaker for Windows, my shareware conlang-construction software. Yes, people used to send me cash and checks in the mail for software they had downloaded from my website.
Kordron is one of the many dialects of Orcish spoken in the Shadow Mountains. Unlike most of Orcish, Kordron has been documented in some detail, due to the findings of Magnold the Cleric. While plundering an abandoned orc warren, Magnold discovered two scrolls, which comprised…

We'd played Captain Sonar turn-by-turn, but how would we fare when everyone moved at the same time?
