Daphne Emulator
Well it took some doing but I finally have the Daphne Lasterdisk Emulator running again on a 64 bit Linux system (Mint 19) with libraries that are too new for the official version 🙂
Cycle “Adventures” Volume 102
The theme of this volume is, “Impatience!“ So many drivers who have to get in front. So many drivers who think 20cm is enough room. So many drivers who need to get a fucking clue and realise that’s not just … Continue reading
One Thousand Three Hundred and Thirty One
I recently watched the (surprisingly good) Ingress Anime series. Something was highlighted in that series which may affect in-game mechanics. It was stated, and has been mentioned in the lore in the past, that a simulacrum has a maximum lifespan … Continue reading
