I’m really loving the working LCARS interface, ship view, and system/sector navigation maps. It’s very well thought out and executed. I’m already emotionally-invested in the story and characters, but now I’m the one in the hot-seat and this just-the-right-amount in-universe interface empowers that while still feeling like a familiar Survival/Strategy game.

When you transition to a new sector, you get to listen to personal logs of select officers, voiced by the original actors of course, commenting on the current situation and choices you’ve made. Tuvok is extra sassy. Tom Paris is noticeably more sarcastic, by a good 15%. They’re both dragging Neelix through the mud here.

The Witcher 3 Remastered is quite demanding if you want to enable ray tracing.
On my RTX 3060, with Ultra settings and RT disabled, I easily get 60 FPS at 1080p. But with RT enabled, it drops below 30 FPS.
Using an FSR 3.1 mod + a path tracing optimization mod made it possible to increase that to around 45–50 FPS. While that’s much better, I think I’m gonna stick with playing with RT disabled.

Vacated
I'm back from vacation. Who knew having time to let your mind wander is so good for creativity? [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Please excuse my absence last week, I finally took a vacation this year. I do feel refreshed, though thanks to the impending second trip (happening at the end of this week) none of that refreshment has made it to my work productivity. Still, it’s a good sign that I will end the year in a better headspace than I’ve been in recently. I have a whole bunch of writing to do, though given the transitory space of this week (and the fact that I seem to be having an allergy attack that’s a ‘welcome back’ present from the ragweed) most of my more involved topics will be coming in the latter half of October.
That all said, it was great to have a relatively low-key vacation. We traveled through Southern California, and though this involved some hiking (and biking, and kayaking), our day-to-day itinerary was relatively relaxed and let us take things at our own pace. That meant I had some time for my mind to wander, which helped me come up with a number of ideas for both games and fiction that weren’t really coming to me in the same way before. Of course this means I’m already reconsidering NaNoWriMo, a game idea that’s been floating around in my head has gotten itself stuck in there again and I may need to work it out onto paper and actually try doing something with it.
Beyond developing entire games, several ideas came to me for my upcoming fantasy/Dying Earth/Bastionland setting concept which really help round out both the cosmology and the underlying conflict I was considering. In the process this has of course started to worry me; I’m sitting up at 10,000 feet while I expect the campaign to start the trek from sea level, and at the very least the initial area and game start does need a lot more work. Still, having some big ideas and thinking about how to tease your players with them is a good thing; in a lot of cases it’ll help produce some organizing principles even if the actual meta-conflicts (concerned as they are with gods and the meaning of life) stay out of reach.
One small shout-out: I blew through a number of videos by Curious Archive which really made me think about elements in my setting, especially gods and monsters. Speaking of, Curious Archive has a series entitled Gods and Monsters which is specifically quite a lot of what I watched, but it’s only on Nebula and for subscribers to that service. I find Nebula has a lot of great content, but the Curious Archive videos on YouTube are also great and give you a pretty good idea what sort of inspiration I’m getting.
This will be a short update; the allergies are rough tonight and I’m still laser-focused on my group’s Beach Weekend next weekend. After that, my updates both on Cannibal Halfling and here will get more substantive.
