I started this yesterday with some context setting on where my current stance and future hopes for AI lie, but the desire to lay that out came from reading Pete’s “LLM Brain” post, which was in turn inspired by a…
AI isn’t a subject I’ve much touched upon here. Not for any particular reason. I’m certainly an interested party. I believe that as with all culture-shifting technologies, it has its foibles along with its benefits. I’m also pretty firmly of…
Blaugust 2025 is here, across all time zones now! (Well, pretty sure!) As part of the preparations that Krikket led the charge on, we have a set of optional prompts for each of the classic Blaugust weekly themes. Prompts, much…
By the reckoning of NZ time, July is over, ushering in a new month, as is the way of things. Specifically, August, if you want to be all official-calendar-namey about it. Blaugust, though, if you’re keen to throw your hat…

Where in this case, ‘The Beast’ is a chaotic, tangled, unmanaged Steam library. The last time I wrote about Steam Library organisation was… uh, 2021. I spoke of the unfortunate discontent I discovered in relying upon the Steam library’s automatic…
The back half of this month certainly ran away from me. I posted my impressions of Monster Hunter Wilds and then peaced out for the month. Whoops. Sorry! It wasn’t even from a lack of post ideas. I’ve been sitting…
Monster Hunter Wilds — betas aside — was only in our hot little hands for a single day of February. And still it was the most important game of the month. Hell, it’s passing likely that it’ll be my game…
