Trying to bid and win a Wii U off eBay. This might be the hardest step in setting up a Wii U emulation console.

Been playing Link's Awakening on the Steam Deck. Halfway there, and SM64R96 is probably next.

Been playing Techtonica on the Game Pass - it's been a while since I've dreamed about a game, but I kept making factory plans the other night. And - stupidly - I reinstalled Eve Online. Hooray for station trading.

Been playing Remnant 2, enjoying it but it's brutal playing solo!

Still chipping away at Tears of the Kingdom, it's an amazing world to lose yourself in.

Also playing the odd game of Vampire Survivors here and there, so damn addictive!

Trying to get to grips with how to use Wordpress. I was told it would be dead easy by a friend (I used blogger before) but it's a little bit overwhelming!

Still seem to have got somewhere with it at least by now...

Just waiting for the Tarkov wipe. It's expected in the next couple of weeks hopefully.

In the meantime I've been playing Battlebit, and loving it. Decided to find out what Dawn of War franchise is all about and suddenly many memes make sense.

But by far the most time is spent back on Workers and Resources. One of those games that I call a time machine. One minute you load it up, and the next it's 5 hours later and you can't figure out where the time went.

Wipe is confirmed for August according to Nikita on Tarkov TV last week. Could very well drop before then, knowing BSG though.

'A couple of weeks' would be August 😉

Jesus, it's that late in the month already?

Here in the western U.S. May and June were very wet, now it's hot.
This summer is slipping past pretty quick.
I'm not getting much outside work done.

If you've got a new computer (at least an Intel 386, with a Sound Blaster compatible card, and a fully-up-to-date DOS), you could do no worse than check out this year's new releases at DosHaven .

Maybe make sure no-one wants to use the phone for a bit before you download though.

Sound Blaster. That's a name I've not heard in a long time
