All notes

Notes are for small posts, links, anything I don't feel merits a full post.

Amsterdam is real pretty

Happy Dragon Age day! If any of you spoil Veilguard for me before I can get to it (gotta finish 2 and Inquisition replays first…) then the Dread Wolf will eat you, thanks

They say it does rain in Bristol but I’ve never seen any evidence of it.

Lucy and our pals in Bristol. The view out over Bristol harbour in the late autumn sun.

Anyone using Moonlight/Sunshine for game streaming and have any tips about getting smoother performance out of it?

Got a real hankering to play Elden Ring yesterday because the freezers at little Sainsburys were humming exactly the same note as the drone on Altus Plateau.

Dug out the old faithful Nexus 7 and installed a touch input blocker so our cat could have her own little Cat TV to watch the birds on that she’s free to attack if she likes.

A black and white cat watching a squirrel on a small tablet screen. Our cat next to her tablet looking up at the camera.

We did it! Total time was right around six hours. I hardly ever get to play dungeons or raids totally blind so this was just wonderful.

Gutted to hear my favourite musician B Dolan has announced the end of touring. I’ve been going to B gigs for over a decade, since before phones had good cameras. I don’t think I’d have got into poetry without his work. Best ever to do it.

B Dolan at The Nest in Dalston, 2014. B Dolan at Workman’s in Dublin, 2015. Me and B Dolan, 2015. B Dolan at the show last year in London.

Dungeoning with my pals.

Playing Metaphor: ReFantazio which has some of the most stunning UI work I’ve ever seen. Meanwhile I can’t get the text boxes to reflow properly in my own game engine.
