But everyone loves comparing LOC

I love historic figures and statistics, regardless of whether there’s a defined purpose for them. Part of my intrinsic instinct to hoard, I guess. :) I’ve been working slowly but steadily on my Keychain framework again, which has been reminding me – if nothing else – that it’s really important to write good code to… Read more

Total Annihilation

I tried to think up a good title for this, but “Total Annihilation” is just so freakin’ cool anyway. :D It arrived today, my TA Gold boxed kit. Better late than never, right? :) There’s a few glitches running it in Classic, but luckily none that interfere with the gameplay once you get into it.… Read more

Look out Earth, the slime’s comin’ home!

Meh, anyway… I was finally able to go shopping again, properly, and am thus tonight back to eating chicken and… Read more

Potatoes don’t last

I bought a big bag of potatoes around about the first week I was here. I happened to look at them the other day, and discovered they’d developed tentacles and were escaping from the bag. Apparently potatoes, despite having a reputation for being sedentary and impassive, are actually physical conduits into this world for Cthulhu.… Read more
