A Spot of Fishing (ASC) (In Progress)

   I was working on a new story and I found this short segment of unfinished text. I don't know why I didn't finish writing it back then, but I'm putting this here so that I can remind myself later to continue where I left off. I think this was supposed to be a very chill comic script. Honestly, I could use a good story of funtime hot weather fish'n chill adventure in these somewhat cold November days. 
   Ah yes, the new story I was working on... I haven't written anything in a while and I forgot how to write, basically. It'll soon come back to me, though. The story is about, well let me just post the explanation here instead of putting it in the story post that will be here in this website later:

   "This story is based on a post-apocalyptic setting. I haven't decided what should be the exact cause of this aftermath. In time, I'll come to a conclusion. Until then, I'm rolling with whatever my mind and the dice tell me to write. 
   Amber was originally one of my Fallout 4 characters, whom I played as for more than 120 hours in about one month. She survived living in the wasteland; scavenging for supplies, food, water, and everything else. Once I set a nice place for myself and once food, water and supplies would pile up, I'd leave the place with a limited amount of resources in my backpack and search for a new place to call home. Going through this survival routine made me very immersed into the games atmosphere and honestly, made me care for the character as if she were real. When I had to leave my actual home in real life, I had to leave behind my desktop computer, thus I had to leave Amber behind. There are valid reasons, I just can't bother to explain. Anyway, ever since then, I've always missed acting as her and being in the wasteland, barely surviving. So finally, I am getting myself into a more story based and less game based interactive text adventure thing. The setting won't exactly be like Fallout 4, as it takes place in my own world and timeline, Ascalond, the fifth era. I must admit, even I don't know what happens in the fifth era. So this is all new stuff for all of us. The dice will decide our path. So, onwards, let's begin the story of Amber, the ginger lady in her mid twenties."

Part 1

   Today's Special:   ASC!

   SET 1:   To the Lake!
   It was a very hot afternoon near the lake of Galaen.
   "What a scorcher...." complained Aldren as he glanced at the sun, already doused in his own sweat, eyes slanted with the blinding light. A fishing hat stood on his head, tilted forwards.
   "I told you, pal." Stear looked quite content with a fixed mild grin on his face. His fishing rod on his shoulder and a bag of stuff on his back. 
   "Ahh..." Crell closed his eyes and sighed with a deep breath, happily embracing the heat. "Reminds me of the days I spent in Augher."
   Three guys trudged along a dirt path in the forest clearing near the lake. It was a nice, relaxing journey among trees with the sounds of buzzing bugs and singing birds, if only the weather could be less scalding...
   ---
   Crell:   "So... Since this is the usual point where we start a debate, what do you two have in mind."
   Stear:   "I'll start mine after we slosh down a couple of meads. For now let's talk nonsense."
   Aldren:   "Yeah, I got a few of my own skeletons in the cupboard to reveal."
   Crell:   "Have you seen Ecrys in a while?"
   Aldren:   "Hasn't he gone to, what's the name, shit I can't remember. Somewhere north. Vex sent him on a task, alone."
   Stear:   "I've seen his eldest brother, Erwiel."
   Crell:   "What the hell is 'he' doing here?" <<he looked surprised>>
   Stear:   *shrugs* "I don't know. Must be something important."
   Stear:   "That reminds me, I should visit my little brother someday, Althorm is too far to travel to though."
   Crell:   *points somewhere* "Oh, nice... Anyone want some?" *dashes forward to the orchard*
   Crell:   *picks a pear and takes a bite* *yells* "Nice, they are still raw a little."
   Aldren:   *sighs* "That's probably like, someone else's fruit, man."
   Crell:   *tosses a pear to Stear* "Nah... They don't mind. I sure as hell don't mind."
   Stear:   *takes a bite* "Dude they barely have any juice in."
   Crell:   *picks a few and returns to the other two* "Just the way I like it."
   Aldren:   "Okay, come on, move forward. We have greyfins to catch."
   ---
   "Took me an hour gathering these babies, so be gentle with 'em, fellas." Stear drove a beige colored small worm through the shiny metal hook. "There we go."
   A swing, a buzz of string, and a gulp... Crell's bobber landed in the pristine water. "."

My Skyrim RP Character Generator

   This is an example from my Skyrim RP character generator. It's a bit all over the place and not really good by itself, but still, it helped me shape a lot of characters.    The program creates a complete sheet, but you have to copy it into a word file or something.    There is a random name hint for the character, but that's only good for me.    There is a line named 'Class' in the sheet. I fill that spot with whatever my character resem-bles, like a Battlemage or something. You don't have to.    There is a 'Text' assigned to the moral compass, if you want, write e.g. Chaotic Neutral there.     I think that's all... Download it from here if you want it, it's a jar file:    SCG2 Drive Link (Dec 11, 2017)   Edit:   I fixed the download link. Apparently, I didn't make it public, because I'm stupid. I don't use the blog anymore but I noticed that this post has gotten some attention. It was never meant to get any attention,

My Own 8-bit Register In Minecraft

Image
   Tonight I made an 8-bit register in Minecraft, instead of studying for the final of Digital Logic Design. There may be a much easier and shorter way of building a register in the game, but I didn't bother searching for it.  I was busy listening to a recorded stream.   It currently holds the information "0001 1010" in it.     When I flip the "Write Enable" switch, the lights are lit according to the input wall at the bottom of the image, after a clock cycle.    So this is the summary of my Saturday night occupation...

GhostlyGame (Aldren) (An Old Playthrough)

   So... This is the first GhostlyGame log that was recorded on a computer. It doesn't have any of the game mechanics displayed, I edited them out like I did for the GG2 logs.    The story is long, and on (mostly) second person narrative, like the old choose your path adventure games. I enjoyed playing this game more than I enjoyed playing its successor, GG2. But it is too complicated to just leave around for a couple of weeks and return later, and it takes too much effort in exchange for a nice bit of story.    I'm posting every single story log in Aldren's logs, so this is going to be a very long post to read. If anyone is willing to read this, don't try to read it all at once, it's just not worth the time. I'm going to read it, and update / fix some grammar / vocabulary issues, when I have the time. This story is at least a year and a half old, and my English is still very flawed.    Enjoy Aldren's original story, from an abrupt start in the middle
