After being targeted by an organisation called Section, the Troupe discovers their large underground base hidden beneath Beregost. They invade the base and face heavy resistance, and Skeezer is killed. The Troupe recruits the Invoker, Dynaheir, to replace him, and prepares for a second assault on the base.
DocBok
I am Bok, a British-born expat living in China. I was born in Lancashire but identify as a 'plassie-Scouser'. I spent my youth growing up in Cumbria. Here I developed a great taste for exploration, climbing mountains and camping in the wilderness - a taste for travel that has defined my life.
Ho Chi Minh City Museum of Fine Arts
Museums remember in different ways. The War Remnants Museum tells its story with photographs, facts, and fragments of war. The Museum of Fine Arts , just across the city, remembers through painting and sculpture. Both left an impression on me, but in very different ways.
This Isn’t Grand Theft Auto
Simulation games have always been a mystery to me. The idea of spending hours pretending to do a job I wouldn’t want in real life just didn’t click. But then I tried American Truck Simulator, and I didn’t just understand the appeal, I found myself having fun.
Fixing the Landing States
I got a couple of bug reports about butterfly movement recently. Some were stuck floating in the sky, others wouldn’t animate properly when moving. So I took some time this week to clean up the movement and landing code to make it more robust.
Dumbest Dragon in the Den
Sometimes when I’m in lazy-mode, I fall down YouTube rabbit holes. One of my go-tos is Dragon’s Den, which is usually good for a bit of entrepreneurial theatre. But one day, I stumbled on a clip that genuinely shocked me.
Of Dwarves and Their Beards
The Troupe continues fighting their way deeper into Section’s base. Cleaving their way through the tunnels beneath the mines, the Troupe are left wondering how deep this structure goes. How deep underground they will need to be before they discover the reason behind Section’s attempts on their lives.
Saigon’s War Remnants Museum
Almost everyone’s heard of the Vietnam War. It’s taught in schools, dramatized in films, and many veterans are still alive today. But most people, including myself, don’t actually know much about it beyond a handful of images and slogans.
Basingstoke: A Dark Horror
Basingstoke is a town in Hampshire, England that is overrun with zombies and alien creatures. It’s too dangerous to visit in real life, but thankfully Puppygames has provided a realistic simulation of what it’s like to visit this little-known town.
Variants of Peacock Pansies
There was a butterfly I spotted in the Buddha Park in Vientiane that I somehow forgot about. It was an old Peacock Pansy Butterfly, its wings shredded and worn. So this week I worked on adding this butterfly to the mod, as well as yet another unique feature for it.
Don’t Order Pizza in Kyrgyzstan
I went to a nice restaurant in Bishkek. I’d eaten there before and enjoyed it, but this time I felt like trying something different. So I ordered a pepperoni pizza. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t what I expected, either.
