Clearly not out of my way enough

Clearly a blogging system that got mostly out of my way so I could focus on blogging wasn’t quite good enough. It doesn’t quite help that I broke my setup with Windows for a bit – the newest version of Quartz requires a newer version of Node.js than we were using for work, so I ended up switching back to using Zoner, which has been a trip. That also means actual new posts aren’t getting posted for a bit because I’m not just reinventing the wheel, I’m finding entirely new ways to reinvent the reinventing machine.

I know for a while I was posting about games I’d completed because that sorta spurred me to actually complete games; since I wrote my last post (in April, sheesh) I finished both Metaphor: ReFantazio and Blue Prince, and I have thoughts about both. Expect individual posts eventually; I need to pull some screenshots for each, and for Blue Prince I need to figure out how much I can talk about it without spoiling things – an interesting problem for a nonlinear game where “progress” is relative per person! I may just give up and declare that one Full Of Spoilers.

In a week or so I’ll be heading to a meetup with my World of Warcraft guild. I’ve been playing with them for going on fourteen years now and this is the first time I’ll have gotten to meet more than a few guildies in person. I’m pretty excited (not least of all because I just kinda need another short vacation, haha).
