Some people have been wondering why I stopped updating the blog. Very few have asked me directlly, which of course is connected to the rather small amount of regular readers I have. Still I want to share what happened:
Like a small ASCII creature in the great Dwarf Fortress game, I was stricken by a mood. I think "Naphtha withdraws from society..." would've been the ingame message. The dwarf would stop all he was working on and try to gather some things to create his raison d'être, a legendary artifact. Now if you know the game there's two possible outcomes: Either the dwarf gets all he needs and starts working on that artifact or something's missing for so long that he goes insane at some point and ultimately dies one way or the other. Sadly, a digizombie return is not implemented.
The artifact is my life. Either I create a legendary return from the chasm I fell into, or I die trying. But I found all the ingredients I needed and I'm working on it. Until then I will have to suspend the DZA blog. If you want to follow my progress, visit the blog I created for it - Naphtha: Life Under Construction. It's rather personal and quite different from DZA, but if you enjoy human drama (and since Tool's Vicarious we know we all do), it might be for you.
I will see you in the future, my trusty digizombie horde.
