bss (Brian S. Stephan)
Welcome to one of my many domains, this one is where I write about things.
Updates
- 2021-10-30 — Proud of myself for for this one, I have — however temporarily — reached inbox zero.
- 2021-10-26 — Oh, maybe more interesting than the below, I've been making Extra Life plans!
- 2021-10-26 — This happened a while ago, but my Angband character was killed by upgrades! I started a new one, who then immediately died. Oh, and I've been working on GPG stuff a bit recently, so if anyone still cares about GPG in 2021, let me know, and enjoy my public key.
- 2021-10-11 — Hmm, updates since last time… I finished the Fiesta, did some capsule reviews, and the science of determining Objectively the Best Piece of Video Game Music continues. And I'm planning for Extra Life!
- 2021-08-24 — I have a Brook UFB and was excited to receive the add-on board that adds PS5 support, so see my thoughts on the Brook UFB-UP5.
- 2021-06-29 — Wrote up some thoughts on Late Shift.
- 2021-06-27 — I didn't mention it at the time, but I finished a major round of dumping my SNES games, getting mostly everything rechecked and dumped via my Super Nt. The latest state of my SNES collection (.txt).
- 2021-06-18 — It's Fiesta time again!
- 2021-05-10 — I started writing tiny capsule reviews, starting with Death Come True.
- older — old site ported to here, various styling exists, site launch.
Longer Articles
I've written some things, from time to time, that kind of stand alone and don't quite fit in the site organization (or I just want to call them out).
- Website Simplicity, my thoughts on and justifications for the simplicity of this site
- The Search for Eden, on E.V.O., cart collecting, and memories
- Xenogears Light Audio Digest, a gushing review of the Xenogears Light doujin album
"Organized" Topics
Here's some other stuff I've collected pages on.
- 13th Age
- Video games and the culture around them
- Rumbles deciding extremely important questions
- Arcade stick creations
- Gentoo Linux
- Anime figures
I also stream occasionally, if you want to check that out some time.
Contact
I can be reached primarly via email: bss @ <this domain>.
I prefer email, if you don't already know how to contact me — it's nothing personal, but my communication time is mostly asynchronous these days, and I have a hard enough time keeping up with my closer-knit communities.
You can find my GPG public key, if that sort of thing matters to you, here.
I'm working on setting up a mailing list for the site, but it hasn't yet become a need. If correspondence picks up, I might finish it. If you're interested in this idea in some fashion (be it as a common message board-type system, or a newsletter or changelog, for example), please contact me.
If you really prefer other platforms, here's a couple I'm on:
- Twitter: bsstephan
- Discord: bss#7698
About the site
incorporeal-cms is powered by Flask, Markdown, and Vim. Best viewed in elinks… or, you know, Firefox. See also my manifesto.
I started this particular permutation of the site in March 2020.
The backbone of this site is incorporeal.org, my original personal domain, which now serves more as infrastructure for this and my many other sites and projects.
