Finished the main game of Baldur's Gate EE tonight. My first time through.
Managed to complete it on normal difficulty without having to drop to easy or story at any point. A couple of astonishingly hard fights but overall rewarding. (Turns out wands of paralyzation are really good). Very glad to have played it.

The fight at the end of Durlag's Tower is really really hard. (For anyone wondering).
Managed to win by getting a Greater Malison to stick & then stunning the Demon Knight with a wand of paralyzation. An unlikely sequence of events I think.

Going through old boxes today. Letting go of projects I'll never get to, setting aside old cables and things for donation, etc. .
From the box of broken headphones:
The Sennheiser HD-5 SPs are totally gone I think. Discard. The Sennheiser HD 457s are repairable. Keep. The two Panasonic RP-HTX7s need replacement metal headbands (which would require buying a set of donor headphones or manufacturing a new one from scratch). Will strip them for usable parts & discard the rest.

playing a bit more Baldur's Gate (Enhanced Edition, PC, 1998/2012) today over at https://twitch.tv/andreaen. This session: running some errands, then returning to Candlekeep for chapter 6.
A few years ago I implemented webmentions on this site (by way of webmention.io and commentpara.de). I was never satisfied with it as a commenting system and never fully committed to it. I kept looking for either a better system or a webmention receiver I could host myself and never settled on anything.
The webmention system has remained hooked up here and still works. To my shame I forgot about it and stopped downloading new messages. I remembered a couple days ago, ran my download script, and there were mentions that'd been sitting in queue for years. So: sorry! Thank you to the two people who commented, I appreciate it. Those comments have been imported and I've left myself a note to remember to run the mention download script when I update this website in the future.
I'd still like to host my own receiver & mention-sending comment form (I'd be a lot happier without depending on third-party sites). Maybe it's time to look at the problem again.
