The recent slate of MCU films has received a mixed reception, with some hits and several misses. While I’m a bit of a fanboy who watches everything, even I wouldn’t recommend every film to average movie-goer.
An Angry One-Handed Dwarf
On their way back to the Cloakwood, the Troupe passes through Beregost, where they visit an old friend: Breagar, the cantankerous dwarf who once frequented Candlekeep. But what begins as a reunion ends in tragedy.
Wat Kao Nhot in Vientiane
One of many small temples that lines the streets of Vientiane is Wat Khao Nhot. Likely destroyed by the Siam during the rebellion of Chao Avouvong in1927, this is a reconstruction. This is a small temple, and it was closed the day we went past.
Sheltered: Waiting for Rain
After traumatising my first family, first with the death of their cat, and finally with the death of the father, I set out to survive with a new family. This time I would remember to feed the pet, and keep an eye on our food and water supplies.
The Inedible Crow Butterfly
I set out to have an easy week by adding a new butterfly. However, as ideas flowed in, this butterfly became a little more complex to implement. The result is a new butterfly with a unique ability that enables it to survive for longer.
Only One and a Half Seasons
In September, 2021, Squid Game was released on Netflix. It was an almost instant success, and with good reason. This survival horror serves us a metaphor for the current state of the world, and the oligarchs who run everything.
A Bar Crawl Around Beregost
On the road back to Cloakwood, the Troupe detours through Beregost, a town unchanged on the surface, but with a current of weariness and waiting. None of them expected the night to end in blood and broken magic.
Vientiane City Pillar Shrine
Sometimes, while wandering a city, you stumble upon something that draws you in. Something unassuming, yet somehow meaningful. That’s what happened to us in Vientiane, while walking between two temples. A strange coincidence led to me learning a small story about the city’s history.
How Long Can You Survive?
Most post-apocalyptic games thrust you into an open wasteland with guns and mutants. Sheltered traps you in a claustrophobic bunker with your family, and lets the slow decay of survival grind you down.
The Copycat of Butterflies
This week was supposed to be a simple implementation of a new butterfly. However, I ended up going off on a couple of tangents, fixing a few issues with the code here and there. Ultimately though, the Common Mime Butterfly is the latest addition to Bok’s Banging Butterflies.
