PC Games I liked in 2024

This isn’t “The Game Awards” because I didn’t play every game that came out, even though I tried to.

I’ll be using the same categories as the Steam Awards.

Getting my own domain

The first step to getting on the IndieWeb is to have your own domain.

This is an easy step for me because I’ve already got one, so I thought I’d explain how I got it.

The plan

I was stuck on a problem at work, I forget what, and I was on someone’s blog reading their post about it. By the end of it they’d helped me solve my problem and I could move on.

But before I did I clicked around the rest of the site to read their other posts and was pleasantly surprised to find I already knew the rest.

And then it hit me.

Happy New Year 🥳

I will be posting more in 2025.

That’s not a resolution, just a coincidence.

on cycling 50 miles in a week

50 miles in a week isn’t much of a cycling achievement.

Most cyclists are training for 100 miles in one go.

The easiest way to avoid mistakes whilst blogging is to not post anything, but that’s also a mistake.

I hit publish on bad at blogging and don’t follow me to acknowledge the gap in content and give myself permission to make more blogging mistakes.

don't follow me

I genuinely don’t think you should be following me.

It’s a bit weird.

    • but I write my notes as lists

Hiked the West Highland Way.

96 miles from Milngavie to Fort William.

Rested, showered and caffeinated.

Ready for day 7.

25km to Fort William.

Made it to Kinlochleven.

Should have eaten more than just Skittles and Scottish Tablet for lunch.

Tired.

Day 6 involves breakfast at Glencoe mountain resort, Kingshouse Inn, and dealing with a low phone battery.

Misty mountain wild camp.

Day 5 and I’d hoped for a massive day, doing 2 stages in one go to bring the total down from 8 days to 7, but I’ve woken up feeling a bit run down.

Hoping the walking fixes it, instead of making it worse.

Day summaries have been postponed until after the trip. They take too long to write on a phone and I have walking to do.

Haggis, Neeps and Tatties at the Tyndrum Inn.

Even later start to day 4 but I treated myself to a full Scottish breakfast.

19km today. Apparently days 2 and 3 are the toughest walking sections so I should be a bit faster today.
