Modding on the Spectrum

Happy Birthday, tigerseptim!

Every journey begins with tentative first steps... Now you're strutting. Love it!

Today, I got an email from the Google Search Console team telling me that Modding on the Spectrum got 300 clicks via the Google search within 28 days!


I deactivated my test account for the time being so that the true number of members is shown at the bottom of the board index which is 74 now.

Happy anniversary, Selene. Two years and now 68 members.

If you build it, they will come!

Taken from my favorite movie "Field of Dreams".

In that case I was a day early ... That's pretty good for me. I'll take it

I hope everyone had a safe and spooky All Hallows Eve. Now we can all look forward to adds for cranberry sauce and endless mind numbing carols until Christmas. I wonder if anyone has done a study to see if endless Christmas carols actually trigger a Pavlovian response to buy stuff. LOL

Depending on which date you are referring to, you are a little too early or a little too late . I started the board on October 7, 2022 and made it public on November 1, 2022. I chose November 1 as the official anniversary date. So tomorrow

I don't want to be holier than the pope. We have basically completed another year. Yes, let's celebrate.

Happy anniversary Again, slightly late! Time flies... We have survived another year.

For about two weeks now, the neighbors have been much quieter and I have been less disturbed by them. Apparently my complaint to the janitor did have an effect. I will continue to observe this and postpone my plan to move out for the time being. I'm in no hurry because I haven't given formal notice to move out yet. The only question is how I will explain this to my mother if I decide not to move out. She said that there will always be people who will disturb my peace and quiet immensely because you can hear everything through the walls.


I told you that I had postponed the purchase of the Steam Deck. And it was the right decision when I look at my current account balance. In the last couple of months, I had to make some purchases that were really more important, such as the microwave and recently the two jackets (a between-seasons jacket and a winter jacket). I hope that I'll be able to buy the Steam Deck for Christmas or my birthday, which is at the end of January.

I just published the first article this year on Selene's Shadow Realm about Being a mod author vs. being a gamer. It indirectly refers to one of my posts in the Abyss Demon thread and asks the following question: How do I find a balance between creating mods and playing games in a casual way without exhausting myself? A question that I have been asking myself for a long time and that I have not yet been able to answer satisfactorily. Either I work on a mod project for a while or I play a game - one of the two always comes up short. I want to be able to divide my attention between both passions better.

According to the neighbor, she can do this very well. Now I have to make an appointment with her and will call her tomorrow evening.

We had negotiated a deal, but due to a misunderstanding she withdrew from the offer. She only responded to my attempt to clear up the misunderstanding with silence. So I have to find someone else and, if that doesn't work out, do it myself. If the latter is the case, I'll have to watch a few tutorials, because I know next to nothing about painting.
