ARCHIVED ENTRY JULY 5, 2026
Changing Directories
It has been a full year since I last updated this site, and a lot has shifted behind the scenes. You'll notice the layout is quite a bit lighter today. I have officially removed the Save Crystal Corrupted forums and the YouTube channel. Unfortunately, all of the source files for my Phantasy Star: Prism Edition project were lost a while ago. Losing that data was a heavy blow, and it is largely the reason I stepped away from the site for a year. Along with that, the Demo Disc Dump is gone, and I've removed the Support SCC section entirely because I simply don't want your money.
This clean slate aligns perfectly with where my head is at now. I am actively shifting my focus toward a career in Linux administration. The diagnostic mindset I use daily as a BMW technician translates surprisingly well to tracing logs, testing modules, and quietly fixing broken systems. My daily driver is a machine named Deathegg, running Debian Trixie with the Cinnamon desktop environment. My free time has moved away from game development and heavily into command-line operations using zsh, bash, git, and automating local filesystem tasks through Termux.
I haven't abandoned gaming entirely, though. I still spend plenty of time troubleshooting Wine, Proton, and emulators like OpenMW to get classic titles running perfectly on Linux. I have also made several updates to the Linux-Tested MMOs & Private Servers section. For Dragon Quest X, I am now using Steam to run it, and I highly recommend checking out the DQX Worldwide Discord Server for Linux setup information. I have also added Neverwinter, the official Dungeons and Dragons MMO by Arc Games, to the list. Finally, I've added PSOBB.io to the roster. It is a fantastic Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst private server that features mission and daily rewards, as well as seamless Discord integration, and much more.
