This post is my contribution to the September 2026 IndieWeb Carnival topic "Parenting", hosted by winther:
https://winther.sysctl.dk/indieweb-carnival-september-2026-parenting/
My parents are good people, and I think about this often. About how lucky I am to have had a childhood free from abuse, trauma, or neglect. To have had an adolescence where I was encouraged, supported, and redirected towards interests and passions that have stayed with me into adulthood. In this life I have been blessed i…

Indie Developer Simulator:
You have $99 and a dream. Your goal: publish an iOS app.
The dream is negotiable.
From the HTML source file:
Get rejected. Get reviewed. Get sherlocked.
You don’t need to be an Apple developer to “get” this, but if you are, steel yourself. This “simulation” hit me viscerally. Absolutely gutted. Yes, I laugh-cried my way through it, but the entire experience made me cringe in painful recognition. Years of helping developers fight past these types of rejections came floo…

The first week back at work.
Happenings
So yeah, I started up back at work for the new school year. All the usual stuff to deal with. Updates to government policies to read. Leadership imploring all staff to do better. Chronic pain flares up with the stress. Still, I’m in a different classroom this year and it’s better than expected. My previous classroom had years (like, 10 years) of junk built up in old filing cabinets I never did get around to sorting out, so it was nice to come in to a relat…

Cat pics from the summer house
First post since Blaugust was over, pretty easy to fall out of established routine. Even though it also was my birthday this week, so I have an excuse. Probably last crazy week out of this visit home, summer is over, birthday season almost finished, just a couple of things left to sort out before travelling.
Monday was still Blaugust with my final posts. I did play more MMOs with Stars Reach and SpiritVale. Did play more Breathedge 2 right before it released in Ear…

BlizzCon 2026 will be arriving at the end of the week. On Saturday September 12th we’ll get the big keynote speech that will reveal the plans for the company for the next year or so.
BlizzCon 2026
It is too late to get tickets to be there in person. Those sold out ages ago.
Also, I will note that there are at least TWO aspects to the event to consider. There is the in-person event, which I know people who attend regularly enjoy. I’ve never been and it is unlikely I ever will, but the fact that t…

I’ve finished both of my “Summer Project” games, and am now at an impasse. I don’t know what I want to play now. I have options, an actual written backlog I want to tackle, but nothing speaks to me right now. And so I’m just kind of “floating”, waiting on something to strike.
This summer, my big project games were Final Fantasy VII, and Doom: The Dark Ages, and as of yesterday, they’re both completed. I could start FFVII Remake, or pick up Dark Ages Revelations, but I feel like I need a “cooldow…

We are back with some more actual video game releases here in week thirty-six.
Fantasy Critic League – Like Fantasy Football, but for Video Games
We had four titles lined up for release in the league this week. Surely somebody much have made out with that many titles in play. But first we have to stop and look at where we ended up last week on the scoreboard.
Week 35 Scores
First out of the gate was The Blood of Dawnwalker, a open world dark fantasy title.

Prettier is a JavaScript-based formatter that I use for this very site’s codebase, since it is quite extensible and can handle a wide variety of formats. I recently noticed a specific quirk with it where you need to specifically pre-format JSX in a certain way to get a specific output from it. With this source document and no formatting configured:

I want to share a dumb little side note on specifically these posts. One, I often write them throughout the week, as I do things, so I don’t forget. Sometimes they probably feel a bit disjointed for that, but I try to keep a flow. Second, when I write in Joplin, everything gets a date. Either the date written, or the date it gets published on the blog. Like I may write a review without a date, but once its scheduled, I add a date. Its sort of a way to keep track of if I need to push something to…

Working throught some organizational stuff in JIRA at work. The level of nested items with Inititatives containing Epics and them containing Stories can be a little difficult to know the state of things. I have some ideas on how to flatten the reporting.

Should have read through these classes earlier if for no other reason than getting the books ordered. Had to wait to get the reading done and then Thursday happened.

After an in unusually soft launch that lasted way more than expected, publishing has turned a bit more regular in the site for a while, we're still experimenting with formats and content, but we hope that our growth pains end up in an enjoyable site for you all.

I wrote a while back about building a “keyboard jiggler” with my Raspberry Pi Pico board. Overtime I modified and improved it a bit to also work with mouse presses (hold M1). Basic keyboard commands were fine for idling in Fortnite LEGO, but for Droid Tycoon, I needed to be able to press a mouse. I also added an on/off toggle was supposed to get a button but I never got around to soldering a button to it and just short the pins with a wire to start and stop it.
I also started improving it with h…

An off-hand comment in a post on The Ancient Gaming Noob today about EverQuest Legends reminded me of the passing of Brad McQuaid over six years ago. The reminder sent me on a bit of a journey that took me to a video that inspired some feelings.
I recall being sad at the time- Brad “Aradune” McQuaid was several years younger than me when he passed at the age of 51 in 2019. I’ve just kept getting older whereas his story was cut short for reasons his family understandably chose to keep private. Th…

I visited the Blaugust participants and these are my favourite blog posts from the second half of the month, following up from 132 Blaugust posts. A bunch of them are end of August wrap-up types because I'm always interested.
Sadly I only read English so for the blogs in other languages I've tried to link something cool. Otherwise they, and other blogs that 404ed or didn't have new posts, etc, are at the end of this list.

I stuck around in Blackburrow until I hit level 14. At that point I felt like it was time to move on.
EverQuest Legends
It wasn’t that the xp had run dry or that things had gotten too easy. I could have hung around for at least one more level… maybe as many as three… making decent progress in leveling up.
But that assumes a world wherein leveling up is my primary goal.
If we’re to be frank dear reader, my interest in levels or achievements or mastering my class combo is fairly low. There are dis…

A stressful week with a new Kindaichi novel, more Traitors, more P5 Tactica, some Fate/GO, and a jigsaw puzzle.
This was supposed to be something of a rest week, but it has mostly been spent stressing about jobs. I got a job offer for a test proctoring position with Pearson (as in, the publisher), but didn't like the vibes in the interview. I signed the contract anyway because I didn't have anything else and it would have expired in 48 hours.
Then I heard back from a manager of two Canada Post l…

Malvaltar mentioned in the comments the other day that the inaccessible part of the city of Hethereau, to the east of the river, had been redeveloped. It's a large area, easily as big as any of the existing districts, and it's been there since the game started but we've never been able to go there.
It supposedly can't be visited by NPCs either since the two bridges are closed, although only one is physically blocked to traffic. I guess an NPC could walk across even if none of them seem to be doi…

Undead Legacy is a complete overhaul mod for 7 Days to Die (7DTD) that got a massive update after about four years of radio silence. Much like with Darkness Falls or Rebirth, the goal of overhaul mods is to take the very solid (zombie) bones from the base game and actually do something worthwhile with them. In the case of Undead Legacy though… well, I’m not exactly certain what is worthwhile here.
If you have never heard of it, Undead Legacy’s schtick is greatly slowing down the rate of progress…

Yesterday was a bit of a return to normalcy. I went through my morning routine as per usual, but decided against a walk. I need to get out today, though, and get back started.
After my morning routine I started off by watching the condensed game. I am really starting to like watching condensed games on MLB.com. If I get more into the habit of this, perhaps I'd have more free time in the evening. To do what, I am not sur…

Before we begin, let me clearly state that this is not a comprehensive installation guide for installing Steam OS on your PC. Mainly because the variety of hardware that can be present in any PC makes each installation a somewhat bespoke affair. Hence I have decided to provide a list of bullet points of the various steps and issues I encountered during my installation, last week. Consider it advance warning of things you may encounter if you install this operating system. As ever, if this is som…

Since I spent the whole month writing themed posts, I thought it would be fun to give a little update about what I was actually playing during the month of August. I stuck with some forever games, revisited some old favorites and even finished a game for the first time. Here’s how my August in gaming looked.
I turned on streamer mode so I wouldn’t have to censor all those names.
