The RAM upgrade for my laptop arrived today, I plugged it in, and #Minecraft is way more playable than ever before on this machine. I'd had to stop playing it entirely after migrating from MX 18.3 to 19.1, as the new architecture was more RAM intensive. All that said, are people interested in more #EmpireOfOne? I have the Great Eastern railway, the Northern line, the route up to the stronghold, exploration of some sunken ships, and other stuff I could rant about.
New #EmpireOfOne content, The Woodland Mansion, at https://wanderingbeekeeper.neocities.org/EmpireOfOne/015.html is up. This concludes the Great Southern Railway arc of this blog. There will be a brief hiatus while I consider whether I have anything further to say, and if so, get organized for the next arc. Thank you for your interest in my views on the capitalism, imperialism, and colonialism inherent in #Minecraft. There is a LiberaPay tip jar if you feel so inclined. #amwriting #writing
Empire Of One: 015 The Woodland Mansion

Tomorrow, the Woodland Mansion installment of #EmpireOfOne goes up, which is the point where I decided to write this blog. Thanks @emsenn for the pointer to neocities and encouragement. I've gotten back into practice with writing HTML, rediscovered an old tool I'd forgotten, and had a bit of a gallivant. I'll take a bit of time after this page goes up to consider where this blog might go net, if at all. I may have said what I had to say on the subject. #Minecraft #writing #amwriting
Okay, got #Minecraft working but not my page builder. #EmpireOfOne is halfway back to being in production. This is me being terrifically grumpy about Java apps and about to abandon Aptana for something that runs in my current config.
#EmpireOfOne: Ballantrae Station, https://wanderingbeekeeper.neocities.org/EmpireOfOne/014.html
I'm still fighting with my system config after an OS migration to get Aptana running again, so the Woodland Mansion link at the bottom doesn't work yet and I don't know when it will, but here's the content I promised for today.

Empire Of One: 014 Ballantrae Station

#EmpireOfOne will be delayed a day or so as I'm migrating my laptop from MX 18.3 to 19.1, which will not fix my Nextcloud connector issue but will take care of a number of other things, and forces me to do housekeeping on my data as MX is not a rolling distro. #Minecraft #Linux
New #EmpireOfOne content, Barking Station, at https://wanderingbeekeeper.neocities.org/EmpireOfOne/013.html. Ignore the links to Ballantrae, the page isn't up yet. #Minecraft #writing #amwriting
Empire Of One: 013 Barking Station

New #EmpireOfOne content: Trevethian Station, which is briefly dealt with, as it's a hurriedly built waypoint on the route to the Mansion. A little grumbling about capitalism maybe. https://wanderingbeekeeper.neocities.org/EmpireOfOne/012.html

Empire Of One: 012 Trevethian Station

@velexiraptor see my writing on #EmpireOfOne
I've got the next three installments of #EmpireOfOne written, for those of you reading my #Minecraft stuff. These will deal with Trevethian, Barking, and Ballantrae Stations on the Great Southern line, and clear the way for the Woodland Mansion piece. That's the one that inspired this blog, and where I will be engaging in some serious political rantage about how this game has imperialism and colonialism baked into the mechanics. Probably Mon/Wed/Fri for the stations.
