A benefit of taking so long on Infocom's "Trinity": the more time that passes, the more fond of it I am. The hub/overworld design is a perfect way to express its themes.
I may never warm up to the New Mexico endgame, but the trip there has been lovely.

One of my A Mind Forever Voyaging posts got mentioned in Critical Distance's "2023 in video game blogging." Don't see a lot of text IF writeups out there in mainstream discourse. Feels good!
You can see it here. Has a Kierkegaard quote and everything, very classy.

I've decided to make a second blog about playing games and making IF, since the audience/format for Gold Machine is pretty specifically about Infocom games.
So... posts about writing stuff and playing games, mostly. Not super exciting at the moment, but there's more to come.
