When I was 7 years old I sat in front of my first microcomputer, a Commodore 64. It had come with a detailed User Manual, which I had read from cover to cover. This would be the start of a journey that made me the man I am today.
Preparations for a Rescue
Upon returning to the Friendly Arm Inn from their expedition to the Cloakwood, the Troupe meets Jet’Laya who has asked them for help finding her missing sister. They make their way inside the fort to rest and prepare for the quest, but first they must deliver some tragic news.
Traditional Khmer Kickboxing
While in Phnom Penh I discovered that you could watch traditional Kun Khmer Kickboxing for free. I went expecting to see some amateur fights, but ended up seeing more than I expected. I got front row seats to professional bouts being screened to the whole country.
Simplicity of Train Valley
I’m back trying to play every game in my Steam Library, and this time I’m playing one about trains. It’s a very simple puzzle game that can quickly get overwhelming if you don’t plan your tracks carefully. Confusion and explosions abound in this fun little game.
Milking the Peacemaker Cow
Peacemaker Cows serve as the main food source for the Butterfly invasion of your Minecraft world. They can be “milked” to gather Peacemaker Honey, and this honey can be used by players to pacify the alien invaders.
Improving My Workflow with Qodona
For a while now, I wanted something that would stop me shipping messy or risky code without realising it. I recently purchased a JetBrains subscription which comes with Qodana, a static analysis tool. This was great, as I could use the automated checks to help achieve my goal.
Conversations in the Cloakwood
After destroying the Cloakwood Mines, the Troupe have put a thorn in the Iron Throne’s operations. They now make their way back through the Cloakwood, hoping for a safe return to civilisation. They leave the domain of the Shadow Druids and now must fight their way through spider territory.
The Royal Palace of Cambodia
The Royal Palace of Cambodia sits at the centre of Phnom Penh, close to the Mekong River. Originally constructed in the late 19th century, it has since served as the residence for Cambodian monarchs – the only exception being the Khmer Rouge period.
Dark Forces on Hard Difficulty
I completed STAR WARS: Dark Forces on the easiest difficulty. I had so much fun with the game that I decided to try the game on its hardest setting instead. It turns out that playing it this way turns it into a completely different game.
Something Bigger is Coming
Butterflies are small, but some butterflies need the sweet nectar of something bigger. The next creature to be added to Bok’s Banging Butterflies isn’t something you would expect, but it will feed those that infect the villagers of the world.
