Just read a GMA article about how bad the state of scientific research is in the Philippines, and how around 80% of STEM graduates end up migrating. While it is ironic that I'm posting this from a lab in a Japanese university, that just proves that point even more.

Still not fully back to making gaming stuff again - blogs and game dev all in sporadic progress. I've recently moved to a new place and been struggling to get new job. Seeing this has made my month. Always rate the game stuff you read, play, or interact with.

I've been blogging about my reviews of character creations of different ttrpgs. I uhh forgot to post my earlier ones here. I've picked up a new game, RAD, and made a post-nuclear sovietica adventurer. Some cooking is needed for this one. halfminotaurfarmer.blogspot.com/2025/08/post-a…
