Shintar marks 1,500 SWTOR posts with a stats-and-search-terms look back, including why “swtor private server” keeps sending people over. Krista is back in Skyrim on PS5 with a Dark Elf, hoping this cozy autumn replay finally becomes the run where she finishes it. Marc revisits James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing as a fascinating early-2000s Bond game and an overlooked precursor to 007 First Light. Sweetie rounds up dream remakes, especially Persona 1 and 2 and Dragon Quest IV, with an eye toward accessibility and preserving their charm. Wilhelm argues EVE Online’s Cradle of War update fixates on Ansiblex nerfs, making nullsec fights duller even as alliances quickly adapt. The Chronicler spotlights Revolutions: France 1820-1880, a negotiation-heavy political simulation where alliances, coups, and presentation do the heavy lifting. Anarchae writes candidly about friendship anxiety, ADHD, and the guilt of drifting from people as a job ending stirs up autumn melancholy. Joar says good live music is more than familiar songs: crowd energy, the room, and bands like the Cheektones make the night work. Brennan offers a beginner-friendly static site generator primer, while sensibly insisting you learn plain HTML and CSS before adding abstraction. Cristian highlights WhatsApp terms that grant broad rights over uploaded content, and notes the same Meta-wide logic reaches Instagram, Messenger, and more. JJM traces a long path from WordStar and joe through vim and neovim to emacs, finally making it click by bringing vim habits along. Kelly does the unnerving math on how many blog posts and words he may have left, then turns it into a gentle reminder about limited time.

Wednesday's #DailyBlogroll has good stuff from TAGN, Axxuy, Juhis, UltrViolet, Scopique, Zack, Roger, @sypster.bsky.social, Warner, Margot, Stargrace, Shintar and more!

#MMORPG #Blogging #Technology #OpenWeb
Stargrace’s WoW week brought 2.3 million gold, forgotten pet sales, alt leveling via pet battles, and a low-pressure plan for WoW Forever. Syp enjoys Fallout 76’s permission to be gloriously weird, then pivots to Diablo III as the perfect loud, clicky comfort-food ARPG. UltrViolet wraps Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker 6.0 with big praise for its finale, voice acting, and nihilist streak, plus some truly hated quest design. Margot found Firewatch a compact storytelling knockout, with strong voice acting and Steam Deck-friendly play, though the first-person movement may trigger motion sickness. Shintar rounds up WoW Forever memes and fan reactions, capturing the giddy, slightly unhinged hype train before launch. Zack says Life is Strange: True Colors is the series’ best yet, praising Deck Nine’s writing and all-at-once episodic structure. Wilhelm’s WoW Forever beta take is refreshingly lukewarm: huge queues were beta doing beta things, and the vanilla-plus vibe seems perfectly fine. Roger recommends Nicol Williamson’s atmospheric Hobbit audio adaptation, with standout character voices despite a few abridgement gaps and minor pronunciation quirks. Warner’s latest reading roundup leans dark, hopping from AI safety and media failure to improv, play, and one welcome farm kitten. Axxuy resurfaces after a maddening TCP issue that broke most internet use, with a timely reminder to actually test your backups too. Juhis makes a practical case for print-friendly websites, with CSS media-query basics and a reader-first argument for offering more ways to use a page. Scopique digs into CSS and even plain HTML basics, reflecting on how chasing the cool stuff too early can leave gaps.

#MMORPG #TabletopGaming #ArtificialIntelligence #Blogging
Tipa digs into Guild Wars 2’s Visions of Eternity, where Asura chaos, Vloxx’s reality reboot, and the Commander role all rub her the wrong way. Bhagpuss wrestles with gaming overload versus drought, using Xbox cloud limits and GeForce Now to poke at the hobby’s endless contradictions. Oya has a blast with Astro Bot’s giant sponge power-up, gleefully smashing through a hot-bath maze with haptics making the chaos even sweeter. Wilhelm starts No Man’s Sky Expedition 23, flips multiplayer off, and enjoys Cosmos as a nostalgia-heavy tour through the game’s past updates. Tobold says Avalon: The Riven Veil looks great, but long setup, dense iconography, and a three-hour-plus runtime make it a rough fit for game night. Anarchae’s weekly links bounce from bioblitzes and solo TTRPGs to Ace Combat, disability discourse, nostalgic music, and fish-versus-nuclear-plant climate weirdness. Jamie Zawinski previews DNA Lounge’s Folsom weekend lineup, from Brüt and Bare Chest to Brooke Candy and Violet Chachki. Joel’s weeknotes mix Mexican Independence Day, War of the Worlds, Final Fantasy IV, Gunstar Heroes, and a pleasantly busy blogging week. Emily finds Hyacinth a refreshing Bridgerton lead, with Italian diary translation, jewel hunting, and thankfully less forced-marriage melodrama. Jeff argues Raspberry Pi 5’s firmware RAM lock makes technical sense but still undercuts the Pi’s hardware-hacking ethos. Bruce Schneier spotlights GPT-6 Astra cracking an old Enigma message by building its own simulator and Bombe around a ROSENOW crib. Dave Winer has Claude catalog Atlantis verbs, wants Frontier to get websockets, and keeps chipping away at old Mac-era breakage.

Last day of summer! Today's all-new #DailyBlogroll comes from such superstars as Wilhelm, CrazyKinux, @aneeshsathe.com, Tan, Stargrace, The Chronicler, Shintar, @kgadams.net, Kimimi, Brennan, Ramen Junkie, Cristian and more!

#TabletopGaming #MMORPG #ArtificialIntelligence #Blogging
Stargrace starts a Cartograph solo RPG notebook adventure, mapping scholars and sentient wasps with fountain-pen-loving enthusiasm. CrazyKinux boils EVE fix ideas down to a livelier New Eden, with shifting resources and space weather driving players into motion. Kimimi loves Ace Combat X for its weighty mission choices, but it’s the radio chatter that really sells the drama. Shintar peeks into WoW Classic Forever’s beta, noting huge queues, bustling starter zones, and the new tauren Plainsrunning racial. Wilhelm checks Fantasy Critic League week 38, where Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter and Fire Emblem land big review scores. The Chronicler finds La Der des Ders packs the whole First World War into a brisk evening wargame without skimping on strategic texture. Aneesh revisits Trinity’s motorcycle scene in Matrix Reloaded and comes away impressed—and missing his bike. Ramen Junkie rounds up GameStop retro carts, CHVRCHES album teases, and the ongoing annoyance of AI bot spam. Tan’s weekly digest covers a rough parenting week, an encouraging first Scouts session, banking frustrations, and teaching kids on a cute keyboard. Kelly weighs Anthropic and OpenAI backing AI regulation, arguing safety rules matter most where systems can harm vulnerable people or control machines. Brennan argues LLMs make scraping, spam, and bad-faith extraction cheap and easy, turning the open web into a much harsher place. Cristian sketches his ideal Linux distro: Mint-like stability, Fedora-fresh apps, GNOME, easy installs, solid gaming, and definitely no AUR.

New #Taskmaster tonight! Until then, the #DailyBlogroll has new stuff from Wilhelm, The Chronicler, Sweetie, Shintar, Krista, Bhagpuss, Tobold, Stargrace, @warnercrocker.bsky.social, @kgadams.net, Syp and more!

#MMORPG #RetroGaming #SurvivalCrafting #Blogging
Stargrace still cleared over a million WoW gold despite missed auction days, then promptly spent some on three copies of WoW Forever. Syp’s channeling BlizzCon hype into practical WoW Forever prep: pre-order, names, guild hunt, and the eternal main-character debate. Tipa’s back in Valheim, but even easier portals and a tiny cheat may not be enough to push her past the early grind to Mistlands. Krista says Woodo’s tactile diorama-building, cosy nostalgia, and low-pressure pace make it a charming little game to sink into. Shintar lays out why WoW Forever clicks for players who want old-school World of Warcraft vibes without replaying the same solved Classic script forever. Sweetie isn’t buying Atlus’s ‘too much work’ line on skipping a Yosuke romance in Persona 4 Revival, especially with fans asking for years. Wilhelm wraps up Aqualis in Planet Crafter, then blasts off to free bonus planet Skeo for another round of terraforming and number-go-up tinkering. Michal chats with David Thompson about Undaunted 2200: Revolution, the planned finale to the Callisto trilogy and seventh entry in the series. Kelly marks Star Trek’s 60th by tracing his fandom from scary childhood credits to marathon rewatches, movies, books, and lifelong Trek affection. Bhagpuss swaps games for a Dorset getaway, sharing windy Portland Bill, farm animals, and Beryl the dog bouncing back on antibiotics. Tobold reflects on how U.S. voting demographics scrambled old assumptions, and why judging voter-ID barriers from Europe is trickier than it looks. Warner points 1Password users eyeing Apple Passwords to solid migration guides, while admitting today’s tech choices can feel like picking the least bad option.

Wednesday's #DailyBlogroll leans hard into the excellent content from Wilhelm, Juhis, Margot, UltrViolet, Nimgimli, Jamie Zawinski, Shintar, Joar, @monsterlady.bsky.social, Dave Winer, Bruce Schneier, @rogertayloredwards.bsky.social and more!

westkarana.xyz

#Blogging #MMORPG #OpenWeb #Privacy
Shintar comes around on SWTOR’s new levelling difficulty, saying veteran and master modes make early planets, side quests, and storytelling feel meaningful again. Margot finds Wanderstop a thoughtful, cozy tea game about burnout and change, with strong themes, some motion-sickness caveats, and approachable crafting. Wilhelm checks out No Man’s Sky’s Cosmos update, from launch hiccups to space station directorship and the welcome addition of proper solar system maps. Nimgimli says quitting social media without replacing the social part backfired, landing on the very relatable conclusion that everyone needs a third space. UltrViolet shares a rough health update, side-eyes World of Warcraft: Forever, and keeps pushing through Final Fantasy XIV’s Endwalker existential dread. Roger talks shop on expanding his blog directory, paying for AI summaries, and buying an Insta360 Link 2 for possible video essays. Jamie Zawinski spotlights Records of Enemy Surveillance, a stark look at Flock license-plate cameras and the ugly reality of normalizing pervasive monitoring. Bruce Schneier argues post-9/11 mass surveillance has sprawled from national security into everyday policing, fueled by private-sector data collection and brokers. Dave Winer is thinking big about Frontier again, from scriptable apps like WordPress and Mastodon to RSS-powered updates and JavaScript ambitions. Juhis argues note-taking still matters in the LLM era because the real value is thinking, rewriting, and making connections, not just stockpiling notes. Emily ranks her favorite Westeros castles, with Dragonstone leading thanks to its moody Targaryen vibe, seaside isolation, and extremely handy dragon access. Joar stretches a reading plan to twelve years, mixing classics like Borges and Ishiguro with plenty of fantasy and sci-fi still in the rotation.

Tuesday's #DailyBlogroll has wonderful stuff from Wilhelm, @heartlessgamer.com, Andrew Plotkin, Tan, @scopique.bsky.social, Marc, David, Brennan, Syp, Cristian, Joel and more!

westkarana.xyz

#MMORPG #RetroGaming #Blogging #ArtificialIntelligence
Syp is absolutely buzzing over World of Warcraft Forever, calling Blizzard’s Classic Plus reveal a huge, carefully judged evolution of WoW Classic. Tipa enjoyed RetroWorld Expo, grabbed a retro Polaroid Go 3, and came away charmed by its tiny, muddy instant photos anyway. Marc makes the case for Chibi-Robo! Plug Into Adventure! as a weird, lovely GameCube gem about cleaning, family dysfunction, and offbeat charm. Scopique is hooked again by No Man’s Sky COSMOS, even if old save baggage and Sentinel combat still make returning a little messy. David recaps a brutal Dragonbane megadungeon session as the Battle Brothers push into the Gates of Power and tangle with skeletons and a Death Dog. Wilhelm reacts to BlizzCon 2026 with surprise and delight that WoW Classic Plus is real as World of Warcraft Forever. Andrew Plotkin surveys several mystery-shaped games, praising The Mermaid Mask’s dual protagonists while knocking its banter-heavy writing and slow evidence grind. Heartless breaks down the Packers’ collapse against the Vikings, pinning it more on bad decisions and 29 unanswered points than the refs. Joel’s weeknotes bounce from Ocarina of Time and a six-hour Play Station podcast to BBQ, coffee, and a handy photo-cleaning app. Tan uses OpenAI’s claimed Navier-Stokes breakthrough to argue AI-driven math risks stripping the beauty, struggle, and human meaning from mathematics. Cristian explains why Bitwarden Flatpak wouldn’t talk to Vaultwarden behind Caddy and Tailscale, and how an SSL_CERT_FILE override fixed it. Brennan tees up a critique of Medium’s shift from human-centered publishing ideals toward a more pro-AI stance.
