Greetings! New on the block…
I am an explorer and a creator.
I created the Ultima series, the modern use of “avatar”, MMO’s and lots of games.
As an explorer, I am the first and still only person to explore from Pole to Pole and Orbital Space to the deepest ocean depths of the Mariana Trench!

Of course, big thanks to @richardgarriott.bsky.social for the great games
I am so happy to start the year with something I’ve wanted for years: a whole bunch of Ultima maps framed on my wall! (for now: 3-9 and SotA… still looking for 1-2 and U:O!)
Now I’ll be able to dream a little bit about Britannia every time I walk into the bedroom.

One of my favorite automata toys. From Japan. Found my first one during the 90’s in Japan, ended up parting with it. Took years to find another, via a Japanese eBay like site. Check this out. Seen it anywhere? May be more parts to add on.

Riddle me this? What does this do?made for cattle? If you push up the rope, a button is pushed letting some liquid spill onto the rope. Does it have medicine? Bug repellant? Vitamins? Cattle rub or lick?

I collect puzzle boxes… I cannot figure out how to open one I bought a few years back! Anyone know? It has a slightly movable “drawer” on the bottom. I’m stumped.

Breaking news: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had Signal chat app installed on a computer in his Pentagon office, said three people familiar with the matter.
Hegseth had Signal messaging app installed on an office computer
The move was intended to circumvent a lack of cellphone service in much of the Pentagon and enable easier communication between Hegseth and other Trump officials, said people familiar with the matter.

Wolves just made it out fastest… easier and short gestation period. Wooly Mammoths have a 2 year gestation, so each iteration is slow. I hear Dodos were good eating. They will soon be back. (Not on menus, but they won’t eat us.)
Really? They couldn't start with something that won't try to eat us?

@richardgarriott.bsky.social, a couple months ago I set a world record speed run on Ultima’s The Savage Empire. I’d hoped to get a certificate, but it’s possible my letter about it got lost. So here’s the video! Eodon is restored to the rest of the world now!
