  • Best Games of 2017

    Not in any order:

    Subnautica

    This is the most terrifying game. A bat attacked me in real life after a **REDACTED** attacked me in game. I’m still afraid but I’m going to try it again.

    The Witness

    I am not good at the puzzles. I drew a lot of them on paper but I am not good enough. I never got the meta-puzzles and I am sad about it. But I liked it and I got pretty far without cheating. I still think about it a lot.

    Path of Exile

    I could make builds in this game forever. Endlessly fascinating and so hard on hardcore.

    Dominions 5

    I have only played the Dominions series in single player, but the fifth entry is the most playable of the series. A masterwork in worldbuilding.

  • Tip Of My Tongue

    This is a list of things I keep forgetting but keep coming up. Let’s put an end to this problem!

    Song Played in AP US History Class (on Fridays) in 11th Grade

    My teacher played this every Friday, but I think he must have recorded a sting from the radio or something, cause it had an announcer saying something like “Fifth and Chestnut, John Brown, We had a lot of fun down there..” afterwards. I could not find that version!

    Car Commercial With Cool Music and a Wedding

    Fun notes. That guy is Kevin Rahm who was in Mad Men.

  • Ruin Dogs Dungeon Generator

     Check out the V2 Ruin Index

    Ruin Dogs is a Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting that my friends and I came up with. The heroes are ruin dogs, young adventurers who are forced by a powerful wizard to explore dangerous dungeons and recover mysterious artifacts.

    As a companion piece to this campaign, I wrote a ruin generator that will create dungeons for the heroes to explore. It’s primarily text based and has the following features.

    • Varied ruin settings and circumstances, along with villains

    Acmu Ellfaii is located in a crystal city. Some rooms of it are flooded. A battle between raiders is happening outside. It is occupied by Thri-Kreens. Granville Wadsworth The Mean, a Mind Flayer Arcanist is here. The Thri-Kreens are the slaves of Granville Wadsworth The Mean. He is founding a new religion.

     

    • Monsters and encounter generation

    The floor is glossy. There are six Harpies here. The Harpies are performing a ritual. If not interrupted, a powerful monster will be summoned.

     

    • Room generation, dungeon layout, and mapping

    Dungeon Map

    • Artifact generation

    Adaeiula is a powerful artifact in the shape of a soft cube. Fire flows near it. When held it levitates surrounding objects.

     

    • Random inscriptions and poems

    O! the memory of you is sadistic
    yet never realistic
    experimental and mobile
    cruelty is noble

     

    Here’s the code for the generator.

    This is my freezeword library, which I use for text generation.
