<p>Still having a blast with <a href="https://tic80.com/">TIC-80</a>. I made a small farming
|
||||
experiment game, to learn <a href="https://fennel-lang.org">Fennel</a> some more and also
|
||||
nail-down some basic design principles. Some of the ideas in that experiment,
|
||||
namely generating the map with a loop and <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">mset</code> instead of using the built-in
|
||||
map designer, gave me some insight for solving my darkness troubles in
|
||||
Nightgolf. I’m still wrapping my head around it, but I think this will be a
|
||||
solution.</p>
|

|

<p>The farming experiment game lives on

forward to expanding my deployment of it by deploying my own <a href="https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/pages-server/">“Pages”

for leveraging <a href="https://itch.io/docs/butler/">butler</a> to publish games I publish
|
||||
the source code for from my Forge to Itch.io.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In preparation for both my own use, and my business use, I need to learn more
|
||||
about Nextcloud. I’m also working on building a custom WordPress Docker
|
||||
container that relies on SQLite instead of MySQL.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Hovering about all this is backups and monitoring, both of which I sprinkle into
|
||||
my learning voyage. I’m looking forward to writing up some documentation about
|
||||
my implementation.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="entrepreneurship">Entrepreneurship</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I’m happy to report I was accepted into New York’s Self-Employment Assistance
|
||||
Program, <a href="https://dol.ny.gov/SEAP">SEAP</a>. I will be starting a business offering
|
||||
managed online services, such as website design and deployment, personal cloud,
|
||||
and email. I would like to offer these services to local small businesses and
|
||||
not-for-profits. I think of it as “Silicon Valley experience” at reasonable,
|
||||
local prices. I’m excited to dive into the parts I’m not very familiar with,
|
||||
namely the business side of things. I have extensive technical experience and
|
||||
mastery, but I lack any significant business experience.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="gaming">Gaming</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I’ve started a new playthrough of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darkest_Dungeon">Darkest
|
||||
Dungeon</a>. It’s mildly
|
||||
frustrating, but mostly fun. I have fun yelling at the game; it’s like stress
|
||||
relief. I’ve been generally successful, but the Crimson Court has been very
|
||||
rough to me. It is a game about challenges and loss, though, so nothing
|
||||
unexpected.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I’ve continued my play-through of
|
||||
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundered">Sundered</a>, though have put it down for
|
||||
a bit. I’m playing it on my Steam Deck using <a href="https://lutris.net/">Lutris</a>, and
|
||||
it works very well. Lutris continues to impress me, and I want to try writing an
|
||||
installer for a game.</p>

<h2 id="new-hardware">New Hardware</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="framework-laptop">Framework Laptop</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This new <a href="https://frame.work">Framework</a> is great! I’ve only had it for a few
|
||||
weeks, but it is wonderful. I’ve been slowly sync’ing and migrating workflows
|
||||
from my various existing options to it. Being able to work for multiple hours
|
||||
without worrying about battery life is nice.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Previously, the Chromebook I have was my go-to remote personal macine.
|
||||
Considering its age, and the inherent limitations of a Chromebook, it served me
|
||||
better than I ever could have hoped. However, I knew it’s time was drawing
|
||||
near, and the Dell I got as part of my work severance was not going to cut it.
|
||||
Considering I’m starting a business doing technology, I needed a reliable,
|
||||
“all-day” machine with Linux. The ARM-based Macs are incredibly tempting, but
|
||||
I am not a fan of Mac. I’ve been eyeing Framework for a bit now, and their
|
||||
newest 13-inch model with AMD components checked enough of the boxen for me to
|
||||
dive in.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="phone">Phone</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For a while I’ve been eyeing Mint Mobile. In the US, they have a plan offering
|
||||
unlimited text and talk, plus 5 GB of data, for $15 per month. I generally use
|
||||
less than 1 GB of streaming data, so this seemed like a clearly better option
|
||||
than the $30+ I was paying for Google Fi. When I decided to switch, they had an
|
||||
incredible deal offering a Google Pixel 9 plus a year’s service for a great
|
||||
price, so I not only switched carrier, I also snagged a new phone! I had a
|
||||
Samsung S21, which was more than sufficient for my needs, so switching isn’t
|
||||
quite as significant as with the laptop, but it’s still a nice new experience.
|
||||
The OS and environment on the Pixel is much nicer than Samsung phones, so
|
||||
that’s quite the plus!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="nas">NAS</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I bought a 2-bay Synology NAS from a friend a few months ago, and with the
|
||||
myriad other changes, decided to set it up proper. I setup
|
||||
<a href="https://www.navidrome.org/">Navidrome</a> for audio, and <a href="https://jellyfin.org/">Jellyfin</a> for video. I had previously used Navidrome, then
|
||||
switched to Jellyfin for both audio and video, but with the new phone comes a
|
||||
return to form. I like <a href="https://gitlab.com/ultrasonic/ultrasonic">Ultrasonic</a>,
|
||||
and Navidrome plays nicely with it.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The other big additions with the NAS is more backup scripts, and also pulling
|
||||
down some YouTube series I like for local copies. More details in a full post.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="game-making">Game Making</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Two game jams! One for the entire month of September, <a href="https://itch.io/jam/clone-jam-game-a-month">Clone
|
||||
Jam</a>, and a
|
||||
<a href="https://itch.io/jam/mini-jam-167-cyber">Mini-Jam</a>. For the Clone Jam, I was
|
||||
working on building a ray-casting-based dungeon scavenger, similar to “Legend
|
||||
of Grimrock”, but with less combat. However, while I have made great progress
|
||||
understanding how ray-casting works, and how to implement it, I won’t have time
|
||||
to finish such a game. That knowledge won’t go to waste, though! There’s a
|
||||
game-jam at the end of October where I intend to make use of it. Instead, I’ll
|
||||
be touching-up and submitting a clone of Minesweeper I made:
|
||||
<a href="https://vagabondazulien.itch.io/ticsweeper">TICsweeper</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For the Mini-Jam, I decided to make a “runner” type game: you maneuver your
|
||||
sprite to collect and/or avoid certain projectiles. I also made this game in
|
||||
the <a href="https://tic80.com">TIC-80</a>. While I didn’t pull any all-nighters, focusing
|
||||
on a single project for 72-hours with as little down-time as possible is still
|
||||
quite exhausting! My submission was called
|
||||
<a href="https://vagabondazulien.itch.io/runr">RUNR</a>. It ranked 48th out of 66
|
||||
submissions, which is honestly disappointing, but not enough to demotivate me
|
||||
from continuing my game-making journey!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="game-playing">Game Playing</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I finally finished my play-through of Morrowind, and one of its two expansions,
|
||||
Tribunal. (Note: before “DLC”, new game content for existing games was
|
||||
distributed like the game itself, on a piece of data-storing media, such as a
|
||||
CD. These were called “expansion packs.”) I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in
|
||||
The Elder Scrolls III, and I definitely understand why many claim it as their
|
||||
favorite. I will talk more about my experience in a full post, just like I did
|
||||
for my recent Fallout 3 replay (I mean, just like I <em>will</em>. I <em>WILL!</em>)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="business-time">Business Time</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Alas, while game making and playing are great uses of my time, they do not get
|
||||
me the resources I need to pay my bills. I continue to work on starting my own
|
||||
business. I’ve met with two mentors, one business and one technology, to help
|
||||
get me started and provide guidance. In fact, this week marks what I would
|
||||
consider the proper beginning of my business. With some dedication, I’ll have
|
||||
more exciting news to share about this next time!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="thats-all-for-now">That’s All For Now!</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I think the original intention of a “Now” page is to be less verbose, but I
|
||||
find the monthly cadence of a somewhat comprehensive update to be more
|
||||
appealing! Until next month!</p>

<h1 id="life-in-progress-january-2025">Life in Progress: January, 2025</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>My <a href="/now">now page</a> is growing too verbose. Instead, I’ll leave that page as a
|
||||
summary of what this/these page(s) will explore. I’ll start with a retrospective
|
||||
of 2024, up to now, the beginning of 2025. Maybe a bit of ambitions too.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="2024-retrospective">2024 Retrospective</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>2024 was a significant year. The most notable change being that I was laid off
|
||||
in April. The remaining 8 months were quite nice. Before April, the year doesn’t
|
||||
feel much different or significant. From what I remember, I was stressed,
|
||||
unhappy, and overall dissatisfied with my situation. I was in the process of
|
||||
saving money to leave, when I was laid off and paid a generous (enough)
|
||||
severance. It’s nice when the universe solves problems.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Much of April and May was time spent decompressing. A bit too much drinking,
|
||||
from what I recall. I began receiving unemployment payments, and looking for
|
||||
jobs, though only half-heartedly. I was already decided I would start my own
|
||||
business. I also started my playthrough of <strong>Fallout 3</strong>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>At the end of May, I entered into a game jam, and made my first video game,
|
||||
<a href="https://vagabondazulien.itch.io/lander">L4-N-DER Training Simulator</a>. One thing
|
||||
I do remember from the beginning of the year was speaking with some friends
|
||||
about trying to publish a video game on Itch. I made the game using
|
||||
<a href="https://fennel-lang.org/">Fennel</a> and the <a href="https://www.love2d.org/">LÖVE 2D game
|
||||
engine</a>. It was incredibly rewarding, and a great
|
||||
learning experience. This game would be the first of 5 that I published on my
|
||||
Itch page this year.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Much of the summer was spent procrastinating starting my own business, and
|
||||
golfing. At the beginning of summer, in June, my grandmother passed away. She
|
||||
was about 2 weeks from her birthday, and so we round up and say she lived to 98.
|
||||
I spent some time helping to clean and clear up her house too. In the beginning
|
||||
of July I traveled to New York City to see Rezz. I also started properly
|
||||
exploring WordPress, and working to understand better the business I was still
|
||||
going to start. Around August, I began playing <strong>Morrowind</strong> for the first time.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In the fall is when I “got serious” about my business. I signed up for the New
|
||||
York State Self-Employment Assistance Program (SEAP), and through them signed up
|
||||
with SCORE to speak with a mentor and begin some small business training. I made
|
||||
my first WordPress site, for a relative (and for free). I also entered into 3
|
||||
more game jams during this period, publishing
|
||||
<a href="https://vagabondazulien.itch.io/ticsweeper">TICSweeper</a> (a Minesweeper clone
|
||||
mde with the TIC-80); <a href="https://vagabondazulien.itch.io/runr">RUNR</a> (another
|
||||
TIC-80 game); and <a href="https://vagabondazulien.itch.io/escape-the-crash">Escape The
|
||||
Crash</a>. <em>Escape</em> was based on
|
||||
some work of mine over the summer to better understand and implement ray-casting
|
||||
in the TIC-80, which I then translated for use in Fennel and LÖVE. At the end of
|
||||
fall, my remaining grandmother severely injured herself, placing her in town
|
||||
through the end of the year. For the second year in a row, much of the holidays
|
||||
would be spent visiting a rehabilitation center (the same one as my first
|
||||
grandmother’s). Since the pandemic, I don’t think I’ve had a “normal” holiday
|
||||
season.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>At the end of the year, I formally started my business, <a href="https://www.niblock.tech">Niblock Technology
|
||||
Solutions</a>, and began working on websites for two
|
||||
additional clients. Exploring this new world has been exciting, and there are a
|
||||
lot of new challenges. I love working with others to solve problems, and I’m
|
||||
looking forward to it. I’m also beginning work on a second business idea for a
|
||||
game shop. I want to build a community space for people to play games, enjoy
|
||||
company, and relax. Rounding the year out was my first playthrough of <strong>Deus
|
||||
Ex</strong>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="now-january-2025">Now: January, 2025</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Now. Plenty of plans and ambitions.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Easiest: I started a playthrough of <strong>Oblivion</strong>. Similar to <strong>Fallout 3</strong> and
|
||||
<strong>Morrowind</strong>, my goal is to complete the main story and all DLC’s. This time
|
||||
around, I explored a new modding setup, using <a href="https://lutris.net/">Lutris</a> to
|
||||
install and manage the game (from GOG), and all the modding tools. For all three
|
||||
of these games I want to write up a brief retrospective about my experiences and
|
||||
any of the setup required for playing them on Linux. I already have two articles
|
||||
for Oblivion (<a href="/2021/11/20/oblivion-linux.html">Part 1</a>, <a href="/2021/12/09/oblivion-linux-2.html">Part
|
||||
2</a>) detailing using Steam and Proton. I think
|
||||
the Lutris approach is a bit nicer.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><em>Escape The Crash</em> was fun to make, but it’s not done yet. I want to add in a
|
||||
floor, sound effects, a skybox, and objectives. And an actual ending condition.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Game-making in general I want to continue. I’ve started looking into the
|
||||
<a href="https://dragonruby.org/">DragonRuby game engine</a>. I also want to learn (more)
|
||||
Godot. I have no shortage of ideas, only my regular struggles with motivation
|
||||
and focus.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I’ve fallen into a few bad habits, and my health is worse for them. Its absurdly
|
||||
easy for me to put on weight, and equally as difficult to lose it again. At my
|
||||
heaviest I was over 320 pounds, and I’m now at a much better 240. I want to
|
||||
bring that number down to 200, but I also want to remove as much significance
|
||||
from that number as I can. It should be a metric, not a grade.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I’ve also set for myself several music goals. I want to get better at
|
||||
sight-reading, and so I have a goal to read a new piece of music each week. I
|
||||
also want to explore music production, and try making my own 45-60 minute mix.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are the business goals. I need to have an income that supports my
|
||||
lifestyle, which means more clients and (hopefully) more businesses!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Finally, I want to write more. I think about writing, but rarely follow-through.
|
||||
As all my other ambitions develop, sharing them with the world will help me
|
||||
formally catalog my successes. Plus, if I have something useful and helpful to
|
||||
share, then I want to!</p>

<h2 id="new-hardware">New Hardware</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="framework-laptop">Framework Laptop</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This new <a href="https://frame.work">Framework</a> is great! I’ve only had it for a few
|
||||
weeks, but it is wonderful. I’ve been slowly sync’ing and migrating workflows
|
||||
from my various existing options to it. Being able to work for multiple hours
|
||||
without worrying about battery life is nice.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Previously, the Chromebook I have was my go-to remote personal macine.
|
||||
Considering its age, and the inherent limitations of a Chromebook, it served me
|
||||
better than I ever could have hoped. However, I knew it’s time was drawing
|
||||
near, and the Dell I got as part of my work severance was not going to cut it.
|
||||
Considering I’m starting a business doing technology, I needed a reliable,
|
||||
“all-day” machine with Linux. The ARM-based Macs are incredibly tempting, but
|
||||
I am not a fan of Mac. I’ve been eyeing Framework for a bit now, and their
|
||||
newest 13-inch model with AMD components checked enough of the boxen for me to
|
||||
dive in.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="phone">Phone</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For a while I’ve been eyeing Mint Mobile. In the US, they have a plan offering
|
||||
unlimited text and talk, plus 5 GB of data, for $15 per month. I generally use
|
||||
less than 1 GB of streaming data, so this seemed like a clearly better option
|
||||
than the $30+ I was paying for Google Fi. When I decided to switch, they had an
|
||||
incredible deal offering a Google Pixel 9 plus a year’s service for a great
|
||||
price, so I not only switched carrier, I also snagged a new phone! I had a
|
||||
Samsung S21, which was more than sufficient for my needs, so switching isn’t
|
||||
quite as significant as with the laptop, but it’s still a nice new experience.
|
||||
The OS and environment on the Pixel is much nicer than Samsung phones, so
|
||||
that’s quite the plus!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="nas">NAS</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I bought a 2-bay Synology NAS from a friend a few months ago, and with the
|
||||
myriad other changes, decided to set it up proper. I setup
|
||||
<a href="https://www.navidrome.org/">Navidrome</a> for audio, and <a href="https://jellyfin.org/">Jellyfin</a> for video. I had previously used Navidrome, then
|
||||
switched to Jellyfin for both audio and video, but with the new phone comes a
|
||||
return to form. I like <a href="https://gitlab.com/ultrasonic/ultrasonic">Ultrasonic</a>,
|
||||
and Navidrome plays nicely with it.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The other big additions with the NAS is more backup scripts, and also pulling
|
||||
down some YouTube series I like for local copies. More details in a full post.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="game-making">Game Making</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Two game jams! One for the entire month of September, <a href="https://itch.io/jam/clone-jam-game-a-month">Clone
|
||||
Jam</a>, and a
|
||||
<a href="https://itch.io/jam/mini-jam-167-cyber">Mini-Jam</a>. For the Clone Jam, I was
|
||||
working on building a ray-casting-based dungeon scavenger, similar to “Legend
|
||||
of Grimrock”, but with less combat. However, while I have made great progress
|
||||
understanding how ray-casting works, and how to implement it, I won’t have time
|
||||
to finish such a game. That knowledge won’t go to waste, though! There’s a
|
||||
game-jam at the end of October where I intend to make use of it. Instead, I’ll
|
||||
be touching-up and submitting a clone of Minesweeper I made:
|
||||
<a href="https://vagabondazulien.itch.io/ticsweeper">TICsweeper</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For the Mini-Jam, I decided to make a “runner” type game: you maneuver your
|
||||
sprite to collect and/or avoid certain projectiles. I also made this game in
|
||||
the <a href="https://tic80.com">TIC-80</a>. While I didn’t pull any all-nighters, focusing
|
||||
on a single project for 72-hours with as little down-time as possible is still
|
||||
quite exhausting! My submission was called
|
||||
<a href="https://vagabondazulien.itch.io/runr">RUNR</a>. It ranked 48th out of 66
|
||||
submissions, which is honestly disappointing, but not enough to demotivate me
|
||||
from continuing my game-making journey!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="game-playing">Game Playing</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I finally finished my play-through of Morrowind, and one of its two expansions,
|
||||
Tribunal. (Note: before “DLC”, new game content for existing games was
|
||||
distributed like the game itself, on a piece of data-storing media, such as a
|
||||
CD. These were called “expansion packs.”) I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in
|
||||
The Elder Scrolls III, and I definitely understand why many claim it as their
|
||||
favorite. I will talk more about my experience in a full post, just like I did
|
||||
for my recent Fallout 3 replay (I mean, just like I <em>will</em>. I <em>WILL!</em>)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="business-time">Business Time</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Alas, while game making and playing are great uses of my time, they do not get
|
||||
me the resources I need to pay my bills. I continue to work on starting my own
|
||||
business. I’ve met with two mentors, one business and one technology, to help
|
||||
get me started and provide guidance. In fact, this week marks what I would
|
||||
consider the proper beginning of my business. With some dedication, I’ll have
|
||||
more exciting news to share about this next time!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="thats-all-for-now">That’s All For Now!</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>I think the original intention of a “Now” page is to be less verbose, but I
|
||||
find the monthly cadence of a somewhat comprehensive update to be more
|
||||
appealing! Until next month!</p>
