One of the most beloved classic adventure games of the ’90s, Day of the Tentacle, returns in a beautifully remastered version that breathes new life into a quirky, time-traveling tale.
Gamification Ex Habitica
Ever feel like you’re drowning in tasks, unable to get anything done? You might even end up paralyzed, doing nothing at all. I’ve been there, but recently, I’ve taken steps to change that. Enter Habitica, a website that aims to help you improve your life through gamification.
The Folly of Charleston Nib
Having saved Captain Brage from the curse of his sword, the Troupe buys some new boots from Nashkel’s resident svirfneblin. They now return to the wilderness in search of the Cloakwood once again. But the wilds are often full of unexpected dangers.
Chiang Mai Prison Massage
In 1974 sociologist Robert Martinson argued that nothing works. This led to less focus on rehabilitation in the USA, and more focus on punishment.

Keeping the King in the Dark
This week, a simple game about growing and expanding a small kingdom. Coated with gorgeous pixel-art, this simple game has more depth to it than you realise. It’s both an adventure in discovering mechanics, and an enjoyable roguelite challenge.
Bugs and Banners (and a Rest)
Sometimes you need to slow down and focus on other things, and this week has been particularly hectic. So, I didn’t get as much done this week as I usually do. I still fixed a couple of bugs and added a new feature.

The Curse of Captain Brage
The Troupe, having explored the border between the Sword Coast and Amn, now make their way to the north. Ogres and gibberlings may be dead, but there are still bandits prowling the area. North will lead them to the Cloakwood, and to Tazok, the leader of the bandits.
Exploring Chiang Mai Temples
On our first day in Chiang Mai we decided to try out the prison massage. We had to book a few hours in advance, however, so we decided to wander the city and see what we could find.
