Last time Wing Fortress Zone and falling 1-Up-boxes stopped me, but this time I'm more experienced: Casual playthrough ahead.
I recently started playing "Power Network Tycoon". That game is really hard! I can't wait until I unlock renewables to help stabilize the grid, so that I maybe don't need to place capacitor banks everywhere and then the neighbours complain about the EMF... And then there was a heat wave and I electrocuted a neighbourhood...
A lot of fun though and I didn't know power networks were that complicated! I wish I could store a bit more oil by default though...

Hey everyone take a listen to another book reading from within the Elder Scrolls world, this time from Skyrim on the topic of the ever-elusive Nightingales
Unlike the first two reading videos (which were clips taken from recent live streams), today, I decided to see how recording it from scratch would feel. I went through the text of the book itself to weed out various errors, recorded it in a way that minimised recording errors, and then further added a little treatment to clean up the audio

Hey everyone! The game I've been working on for NEARLY TEN YEARS is now officially out! I would love it so much if you would check it out! If you like stuff like Dragon Quest and Elder Scrolls, this might be right up your alley!
A massive thank you to everyone who has helped me work on it, including connections I've made through fedi like @matana and @Mr_NutterButter also thanks to everyone here that kept me motivated and always liked/boosted my posts!
Definitely wasn't always easy, especially in the case of motivation, and I'm sure there are still some bugs out there I didn't catch with a game so large. I'm so happy with the way it turned out though and I'm incredibly grateful that I had the ability to create it!

Шарясь по результатам запроса "minecraft distant horizons" на YouTube наткнулся на слабо связанный с искомым[dh] совершенно крышесносный проект соларпанкового[сп] города Vesta Verde в #Minecraft: https://youtu.be/3uOYniJWfLU
Человек не просто заморочился проектированием и постройкой города, а как будто продумал, какие сообщества могли бы в таком городе жить и какую инфраструктуру они бы строили, как по форме, так и по содержанию.
Стиль результата меня очень радует, вместо подмятия исходного ландшафта под городскую среду, эта городская среда скорее интегрируется в него. Я в подобном стиле в Terraria деревеньки строил, когда на Terrafan обитал (если кто там бывал, привет вам от летающей красной шляпы). Но тогда мне просто нравилось, как это выглядит, социоэкономические аспекты этой стилистики меня тогда не заботили совершенно, сейчас смотрю на это уже несколько другими глазами.

Remembering that time back on birdsite when I mentioned how the red flash in Doom to show that you're hurt affects the *entire* palette, including the HUD, and a mutual joked that maybe the HUD is diegetic, so I drew this on a post-it note at work
#solarpunk #TTRPG "Why we fight" is launching a crowdfunding campaign in less than 30 minutes at https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/stop-drop-roll-games-studio/why-we-fight-a-solarpunk-narrative-ttrpg/launch_party
I have very mixed feelings about the focus on violence, but I'm curious of their community-building aspect. Maybe finally someone got it right?
Let's see how they designed it...

Because of ongoing issues with long covid, I've been reading aloud on stream instead of playing the violin for most of my streams. I've finally managed to get 2 of those stories their own videos (both of which are books in The Elder Scrolls universe)
Whether you want me to lull you to sleep or whether you're curious about the various stories that take place in the world of The Elder Scrolls (Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, etc), I hope these sate your appetite and if not, well, there'll be plenty more to come
Oh, and I'd love to hear what you think of them, whether it's something you like or something that could uses improvements and changes
