Yet one more adventure game played through.

Finishing Whispers of a Machine was like finishing a good book, bittersweet. Worth it. It was a very enjoyable game: interesting world, well written characters, good voice acting; with all of the adjectives also applying to the story overall.

I recommend it. Give it a go even if you're not typically a fan of point and click adventure games, it avoids many of the usual trappings.

Someone on Twitter tweeted part of a poem that I think is fitting, it dates to 1666, the Great Fire of London.

Upon the Burning of Our House by Anne Bradstreet:

Then, coming out, behold a space / The flame consume my dwelling place. / And when I could no longer look, / I blest His name that gave and took, / That laid my goods now in the dust. / Yea, so it was, and so ‘twas just. / It was his own, it was not mine, / Far be it that I should repine

Has me all sad. ​ But there isn't much we can do now. They'll save what they can, then there'll be an inquest, and then we'll start the long rebuild.

Did you know you can draw and post doodles now? Click the paperclip and then draw something.

My drawing is sad, because I can't draw.

Have this one at the library, one of two in the country, apparently. Trying to restore it to working order. Carriage is stuck.
