Timelapse of my railway trip from SanJose to Seattle then back
Recorded these timelapses of the trip I took a month or so ago on the Coastal Starlight (fancy name for a pretty mundane train) to Seattle to go to PAX West.

A few months ago, Google finally introduced an interface for adding proper Google Street View submissions (getting a solid blue line, not just single Photo Spheres or Photo Paths). I have a friend diligently adding in off-road bike routes throughout the Chilterns. I saw a HUGE opportunity to "claim" an island!So I did (in part at least)
Cult of the lamb is a very strange game with a somewhat twisted sense of humor and a very distinctive art style. Elements of games like Hades or Dead Cells with roguelike dungeon runs added to a settlement builder where you manage resources and cultists akin to something like Stardew or Oxygen Not Included with this very distinct paper cut out in 3d graphics like Don't Starve with cute music and sprites and this very dark sense of humor.
It's the late 90's (more specifically, I think 1999). I'm a young, naive 24-year old. I've had a couple of tattoos (once on my sternum at Uni, and one on my neck at the only tattoo parlour in Reading...Ians, near Chatham Street). I've got some piercings (my tongue, eyebrow, and one nipple (twice, brielfy...)).
So Diablo Immortals is smashing records left and right unfortunately they are records for worst user score with it currently in the top 5 of the worse scored games of all time on metacritic.
I wasn't expecting much from this late season April fools joke given it was NetEase and Blizzard two terrible companies their powers combined for double awful mobile game nonsense.
But what has come out is worse than most people even guessed at.
Vampire Survivor is a rogue-lite ... wait come back it's good ... if you like that sort of thing.
It sort of came out of nowhere and went from a little known extremely cheap game (think it's $2.50 at the moment) to being all over the blogosphere the youtubs the twitchers and tictacs
On the surface a very simple game you control a vampire survivor through a series of environments with their own set of enemies bosses and environmental pecularities and just have to survive collecting power ups by gathering the gems enemies drop.
I'm not really a Dark souls person I find the gameplay mechanics somewhat frustrating the fail Die fail die fail die fail die maybe succeed die mechanic gets grating after a while and every time I've tried one of these games I've usually bounced off it fairly quickly. Even some of the dark souls like often get annoying the most recent God of War or the Jedi Fallen Order being notable examples.
Back in November 2021 I stated I was worred about the upcoming TV Adaptation of "The Wheel of Time", as I've been burnt before around adaptations of books I love.
I've not done New Year Resolutions for last year...didn't seem much point due to the huge amount of un-certainty. I did end up ticking off most of my 2020 resolutions, albeit not to the initial timescales...global pandemics will do that to you!
For me, 2022 will be about adapting to the "new normal". I've lost a commute, and gained a dog, for starters.
Played a bit of this just to try it out.
Their interface is still as shit as it was the first time through. Incredibly difficult to work out what is what and how things work the various module controls for stuff on the drillship are not really explained and because of the design half the time they are positioned behind other stuff.
