Bao Dai, the last Emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty, built 3 palaces in Dalat. The third one, now known as Bao Dai Palace 3, is the most popular with tourists today. It sits as an example of French-influenced architecture and of the extravagant lifestyle enjoyed by the ruling classes.
Lego: Star Wars: The Complete Saga
This week I tried to get into an older game that combines two of the best things in the world. I was extremely hyped to start playing this game. Lego and Star Wars in one package, what could possibly go wrong?
Destroying Some Ancient Bugs
This week I’ve created a new release that fixes some bugs that have been in the mod for far too long. The movement bug in particular has been annoying for a while, and relied on an extremely hack piece of code attempting to cover it up.
Happy Year of the Fire Horse!
The Gregorian New Year has come and gone, but that doesn’t mean that the celebrations are over. The Luna New Year has just gone by, an important time of the year for China. It’s the worlds largest exodus of people, and a time to think about the year ahead.
The Battle of the Cloakwood
The Troupe have descended to the lowest level of the Cloakwood Mines and find themselves face-to-face with Davaeorn’s entourage. Their assault doesn’t go well, and they are forced to retreat for a short while. But now reinforcements are arriving through the upper levels and there is no escape.
A Hike Half Way Up Lang Biang
I always enjoy hiking when I can, and so I looked for a good place to do so while I was on the Dalat Peninsula. To the north of Dalat is a small town sitting beneath a mountain, both bearing the name Lang Biang.
Minion Masters Monetisation
Minion Masters is a “free” game on Steam that is free in all the ways you would expect it to be free. It creates a unique experience by combining card-collecting with tower defense gameplay, but it fails to provide an interesting enough experience to justify its pay-to-win mechanics.
Banging Butterflies Update
It’s not every week I’m able to get a lot of work done on the mod. This week, as well as implementing new features, I’ve been tackling a strange bug with the Peacemaker Butterfly’s movement.
Ye Olde Baldur’s Gate Manual
There’s an experience I used to have as a kid that you don’t get in the modern age. Video games would come in a box with a cartridge or a disc inside, alongside a game manual.
Davaeorn, Master of the Mine
The Troupe have made it deep into the Iron Throne’s mine in the Cloakwood Forest. They are close to Davaeorn, the leader of the mine. Yet Aegon’s visions of death linger, and there is uncertainty if they can survive the final encounter with Davaeorn and succeed in flooding the mine.
