Those D&D Shows
Some Twitter activity prompted me to think about how and why I follow some D&D shows.
The Random Game Era Begins
Before and after I started a new job in March, my gaming time and interest plummeted to nothing, so I commenced a period of short gaming sessions of mainly free games and demos which continues to this very day.
The End of Pillars of Eternity
At last, the Pillars of Eternity series comes to an end.
Pillars of Eternity Video Adventures
Video adventures uploaded in the last week or so.
Stadia Pro Free Trial
I got a two-month free trial of Stadia Pro and have been trying it out.
Halcyon 6, Sunless Sea, and Surviving Mars
This past week I found myself trying three free games I got from the Epic Game Store.
Valheim and Outriders
I don’t get the Valheim craze and I wasn’t wowed by Outriders either. There, I said it.
Starting A New Job
I’m pleased to announce that on March 1st, I started a new software engineering job, working generally in the field of “IT infrastructure lifecycle management.” This is a pretty big, life-changing sort of job for me.
Tyranny
Somehow March is almost upon us, and I still haven’t written about Tyranny, the other free game I got from the Epic Store oh so long ago now. It was the next in a burst of isometric CRPG games that I played around Christmas time, which started with Wasteland 2 and then Pillars of Eternity.
Golang Part 1
Recently I started learning Go, Google’s internally-developed language. It’s also known as “Golang,” because it turns out that “Go” is a terrible search term.
Quest for the One Blog, Part 10
For completeness, I present this brainstorming session about merging two other kinds of content streams in with blog content, an unfinished draft from somewhere during a Lost Time Period of 2020.
Pillars of Eternity
I tried out Pillars of Eternity next in The Great 2020 Holiday RPG Game Blitz, a game that I got for free on the Epic Game Store.
Endgame Viable 2020 Awards
I only bought one new game in 2020 so it will be very easy to pick my own personal Game of the Year for 2020. But I also talk about a few other noteworthy games I played during the year.
Wasteland 2
Over the winter holidays, I got into an isometric Baldur’s Gate-style RPG kick and played several games in that genre. The first was Wasteland 2, a post-apocalyptic RPG in the style of the original Fallout 1 and 2.
2021 Begins
I have rebuilt Endgame Viable as a static site, which means massive changes for me, the developer, and some changes for you, the reader. First, it probably looks completely different. Second, there are some things that you won’t be able to do on the new site, at least not initially: Search for posts. Comment on posts. Like posts. Unfortunately those were the major sacrifices I had to make in order to jump to a static site.
