Club PA Newsletter #89 (Patreon)

Wow, so PAX was pretty cool actually. As I said at the meetup, I was feeling so strange and fragile being back out in groups of people, but that feeling often just… melted away. It certainly did there.

The strip we have included tells a true tale, and he and I literally had the same experience of trying to install ancient Minecraft mods. It was the Aether mod, or something like that. I was shown cool screenshots of it until I agreed to install it on the machine, thinking that my knowledge of primordial computing should be up to the task. I hail from a time where the glasses were very thick. We have tamed such beasts many times.

None of what I knew meant shit, and what was ostensibly a piece of entertainment software became a medieval torture device. I stayed away from mods that weren't on Steam Workshop for… well, ever, until I had to install some Sims mods for Ronia and saw first hand the land of plenty we occupy now. Also, I knew about the themed packs, but I had no idea Sims modding was so hardcore. Look it up, sometime. These motherfuckers are going hog-ass wild.

It's me,
