SITE LOGO

Brian S. Stephan (bss)

Welcome to one of my many domains, this one is where I write about things.

Updates

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.
2021-04-28 — I have opted the site out of FLoC, because it is bad.
2021-03-25 — Most, if not all, of the interesting pages on my previous site have been ported here. Steins;Gate, Danganronpa, some best of lists, pictures of anime figures, my Naoto stick, and even more in video games are all new. I'm going to give this a week or so, and if I feel like I have everything, redirect the old site's domain to here.
2021-03-09 — I added a "plain" style for those wanting more control over the look and feel of the site, or for those just simply wanting something basic. It can be chosen on the top right menu.
2021-03-08 — I've been playing Angband fairly regularly for a couple weeks now, so I decided I should write about how it's going a bit.

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.

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

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.
