It’s Friday, you know what that means. Miscellanea!
– Despite a largely lousy week I think I’m starting to turn things around. The various tech issues plaguing the puppet mines have, in theory, been tamed or at least in the process of en-taming. We’ll be stress testing a few of them soon because…
– Failure is just the first step! Frankie Play will return tonight, giving another go at Deep Rock Galactic. Frankie assures me he’s almost certainly figured out the problems that plagued the last stream and it will go much smoother this time. Definitely. 8pm ET on Twitch and YouTube.
– The next episode of our podcast Pixels and Puppets will be recording tomorrow evening and released on Sunday. Lots to talk about this week and we’ll be carrying on with our Top 5 Games of All Time list.
– I have a road map for the release of a stress test version of the Neverwinter Nights server, and that’s hopefully only a few weeks away. I’ll be making a little micro-site for it with connection info and player guides but if you’re on the Discord (join the Discord) you can follow along with developments on this thread. Tinkering with Ruunholm has very much become my happy place and a thing I can do to let off steam and recalibrate the brain. Very much enjoying it.
– Owing to the short week and various delays there was only one new puppet, but the purple Greeblee in today’s logo will be going up on the Direct Shop later today. Uses some of the nifty faux yak fur I used in the live hands monster from last week, really love this stuff. Will be working with the blue fur next week!
Busy weekend coming up with lots to prep. But right now, you got it… coffee.
