Getting really into Destiny 2 lately, and so far, it has been a blast.

The music, the artwork, the lore, is just right: a well‑designed world with well‑designed elements, all fitting together.

And you know what? Playing a game mostly played by dads and moms is a relief: maybe, after all, there is hope for adult media offering mature entertainment through its themes, rather than its visuals and scenes.

A ‘complete package’ in what I would call recreational (electronic) media (after the Irem rebranded meaning) has always interested me the most: a solid art direction is invisible, because it makes a thing complete. Roleplaying games, tabletop games, video games. Nerd stuff.

Incidentally, on the topic of video games, I have been looking for ways to get into R-Type (finding archived manuals has been fun) and a variation of Mega Man as well, but that is one of those slower processes.

Slower processes are slow because if you try to speed them up, they end up consuming so much energy at once, you are basically incinerating yourself. I prefer catalyzing at room temperature.

So far, I am enjoying my summer break quite a bit.

Reblogging for troubleshooting <3

In order of occurence:

my security measures for my social archive made xmlrpc.php inaccessible, which causes the IFTTT applet doing the archiving to fail with 404

I fixed that.

renaming the automated archivist account on the wordpress subdomain has not yet been reflected in IFTTT, which causes the applet to fail with 403

I fixed that.

Perpetual testing and note‑keeping is kind of what I do in these situations: I sort of have a manual for these things I build online, and it keeps growing.

Now everything should work as expected.
