This is about the actor Fulton Mackay, who Brits will know best as the stern Scottish prison warden, Mr. Mackay from Porridge - and rest-of-worlders, I guess, as the Captain (the lighthouse keeper) on Fragile Rock.

Learned how to add Steam Achievements to RPG Maker MV games, so "Damien Crawford's Golf Experience 2024" now has some! Check the game out if you haven't and see if you can get the Pro trophies in a game about being an amateur!

That's a heck of a lot of sacks - although it really depends on how large (or small) they are.... Sturdy Evasion must be an interesting song.... (but I guess they evade the answer)
In Bounty news, a bounty of 1538544 sacks of jade has been placed on Eileen the survivalist! They have committed 76759 combined counts of magical control and vandalizing, and are known to use the song Sturdy Evasion.

I am still disappointing in the lack of urgency by techs responsible for the sites in responding. In the end, I had to deal with on site and our telephone person checked the other site.
