Happy New Year, everyone. It is I again, the Satirical Rogue who ponders the questions of the Universe and then forgets to write them down, thus they are lost forever in the Mists of Time.
It is now 2016, and I have not updated my blog in three months, leaving my readers (or reader if he’s still out there) wondering what I have been up to recently.
Well, I’ve been working on my game system, YARPS, Yet Another Role Playing System. Somewhat like other systems, it is not entirely new, but it deviates significantly from most games which involve polyhedral dice.
I’ve also been watching a lot of Netflix, and playing both Wildstar and Grav. I actually haven’t played World of Warcraft in several weeks.
On another field of battle, I’ve had my first major problem this year. I went out to my car to find that I had a flat tire. They’re relatively old tires, and I should probably get new ones, though I still have an exhaust problem I need to fix next paycheck… Oh the joys of automobile ownership in the 21st century. Still no flying cars, but all the problems we had last century…
And now Windows 10 is free. Free. I mean, what the heck? Dave1 suggested that Microsoft is releasing 10 for free so people will have access to the Microsoft Store (kind of like the Apple Store or Google Play). This will allow micro-transactions to generate revenue for Microsoft. Still, I can’t believe, even with Satya Nadella’s new leadership, that Microsoft would offer something for Free…
This post wasn’t nearly as funny as I had hoped it would be. My sense of humor has suffered over the course of a few days of illness, and it is my hope that I can crack a few jokes in the near future.
I’ll try again in a while. I just hope it won’t be another three months…
1. Yes, That Dave.
