Some vague ramblings, senseless and aimless as a colorless moth
Hoo, another episode comin’ in hot!
I’m editing it as I type these words, in fact. I was really trying to get it done earlier this time, finished about half of it earlier this week, but since then I’ve been to busy, what with the holidays and all. Had a lovely thanksgiving this year, up in Seattle, probably the best turkey I’ve ever had in my life. Or at least second to the deep-fried bird I had as a kid, one time.

This playthrough has been fun for learning how the heck you’re actually supposed to pronounce a lot of these names. Some of them I still get wrong a lot out of habit, like Rahmza instead of Ram-za (like the animal). It’s hard to feel too bad though, since it is all a mish-mash of various European languages filtered through two translations and mixed together freely.
Continue reading “Let’s Play FFT 06 – Gowg or Gawg?”Posting this LP so slowly has a bit of a surreal feeling to it.
The first ten episodes were all recorded basically daily, one after another, because I was on vacation and was having a ton of fun playing the game and recording. But now that I’m back at work, I no longer have the time or the energy for it. Like, yes, technically I have hours and hours after I finish work, but I don’t wanna stare at a screen thinking. That’s what I do at work all day!
Continue reading “Let’s Play FFT 05 – Betrayal at Zeirchele”Alright, got another one o’ these ready to go.
I think I’m gonna make sunday my usual upload day, get on more of a regular schedule. I was so eager for the first one, I didn’t even think about it. I’m on vacation this coming week, so I’ll probably go and record several episodes, so I can have a buffer and actually get them out consistently on time! What a concept!
Continue reading “Let’s Play FFT 02 – Ancient Magicks”Hello everyone, it’s been a while!
I apologize for the radio silence, though I did warn that I might be away for a while after finishing Moby Dick. I thought I could do those weekly blog posts… but it didn’t really work out. Then I thought I could get back to reviewing games, and while I do like the ones I wrote, it didn’t really give me the same satisfaction as my deep dive into Moby Dick.
But, I had a thought the other day: what if I did an LP of that new version of FFT? That would be fun, I know it’s a game I can finish!
Continue reading “Let’s Play FFT – 01”Well, here we are again, another week come and gone.
I’ve had some ups and downs lately. Trying to stay off of social media while I’m at work, which is nice because it exposes me to The Horrors less, but also makes me feel a bit more disconnected from the world. Kind of a trade off there, I suppose. Been swinging between an newly rejuvenated sense of self-confidence and some regular ol’ depression. I can accomplish anything I put my mind to, but it feels like that doesn’t matter a whole lot, y’know.
Continue reading “Week 2: Hashtag The Discourse”Alright, let’s try something different.
I want to write more, so I thought I’d get in the habit of posting some sort of regular update on my habits and thoughts. Almost like some sort of log, as on an old timey sailing ship… but rather than being locked in some old wooden chest, it instead lives on the marvellous web of information. Some sort of… web log… if you will. Perhaps we shall come up with a shortened term at some point, if it ever catches on.
Continue reading “Week 1: What’s Past is Prologue”Just a heads-up.
I didn’t want to be radio silent after last week, but I am also in no condition to write the post today. Went to a birthday party up in Seattle, I am stuffed and exhausted. But stay tuned for The Chase.—Third Day one week from today!
Continue reading “No Moby Dick This Week”Well, it’s that time again!
Getting to it a little late this year, I’ve been busy lately. Have been back at work, and trying to figure out some logistics around improvements to my apartment. Still muddling through that, but I wanted to take some time and reflect on the year of games, as is my custom. Even though, like, I do not actually write about games at any other time of the year on this blog. And, indeed, have not updated at all for the past month or so!
Continue reading “Games of the Year 2024”Hey guys. I’m not dead!
Just haven’t really had the inspiration strike to continue my big Moby Dick project lately. A lot of my energy has been consumed by looking for a new apartment, I am positively desperate to move out of Auburn. I finally resolved that this week, moving to Tacoma in April this year, it’s gonna be much better, as a person who doesn’t drive.
