Christmas break gaming for me has been The Witcher 2 and The Long Dark

Finished the Witcher 2.. The Long Dark is an indie survival game in alpha, really great.

Played and successfully finished Papers Please, ending 20/20. I had fun, but probably wouldn't play it again.

Loved the demo, got the game in a Humble Bundle IIRC, never played again..

The dev Lucas Pope is working on an interesting project right now called "Return of the Obra Dinn", has a neat tech demo out: http://dukope.com/

It boasts a 3D environment displayed in 1-bit rendering.. pretty neat

I have to admit I didn't know what 1-bit rendering was, but after a little research I have to say the results can be pretty neat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-5kJz1lcsM

Gimme 1-bit mario, not some bad video of a satellite. Do it right.

I pumped in several of the short stories from my website. Gender Guesser thinks that I might be a guy, but is only about 50-55% sure (60% in one case), except for one case in which it thought I was a chick. It claims that this may be because I am European, though I am not.

I'm not surprised.

Delightful, yet another website that assumes binary gender and enforces groundless gender stereotypes.
