A personal blog about whatever comes to mind
The title seems overly specific but, as people say, “it’s weird that it happened twice” (that I know of). I literally mean what I said, though: there are two rock bands that are among my favorites overall, and they had female singers, but released only one album and then disbanded. And to this day I…
Seriously. And you can buy it from Amazon (I think it’s print-on-demand?). And it’s a proper manual, just look at this, it’s gorgeous. It’s worth mentioning that this is the same manual that’s accessible inside the game, but in a physical format. I bought it some time ago because, to be honest, flipping through pages — that…
It’s not every day that you’re walking down a street near downtown and see something like this just lying around on the sidewalk.
Some time ago I read an article that compared the internet to a forest, and how it thrives on diversity in a plural and complex ecosystem instead of being a monoculture, like it is today. It’s a very interesting analogy and very well worth reading. I like this idea a lot. I’m not that old…
A trip down the memory lane There was a time when the genre of “MMORPGs” had more variety than just another copy-paste version of a single-player game story that you go through with a bunch of people over the internet, which is the common formula used today. I wish that the genre had gone in…
As I said in the previous post, I’ll be making the game in Twine first, and then porting it to Decker. My original idea, though, was to make an “open-world” exploration RPG, something like SaGa: Scarlet Grace or Emerald Beyond, in RPG Maker. Maybe go even further and do something like Romancing SaGa 3, which…
What the title says. Or, at least, I hope so, as I’m unsure everything is working as it should. The ActivityPub part I tested myself seems to be all fine, so anyone on Mastodon, Friendica, Pleroma, Pixelfed, and so on, can look up for the user blog@www.whateverthewindbrings.com and follow it to see blog updates directly…
I’m working on a project, but I’m lacking a bit of motivation lately, so maybe writing about the project’s development here might help. Also, I opened the project for the first time after an almost two-week hiatus — due to the lack of time — and got completely lost about what I was doing. I…
Quick tip on how to create lo-fi sounds from hi-fi samples and instruments Some years ago I was looking into some of Arturia’s less talked synth emulations and found a great video about the Farlight CMI V. The video is quite long, but the stuff about sampling and resynthesis caught my eye since I never…
This story was written years ago for a contest. It got a positive feedback, but wasn’t picked. I found it again a few months ago, adjusted a bit of the flow, and it’s now here. Some people say Hell is a fiery pit of despair, eternally engulfed in flames. Others say it’s a cold and…
