I love that I’ve gotten Myst Online to work faster and smoother on a Pentium 4 desktop with 1 gig of RAM under Wine on Ubuntu than on my Windows 7 laptop with a dual-core processor and 3 gigs of RAM.  Then again, the desktop has a dedicated 256 meg video card, and the laptop is using an integrated video card.  *shrug*  Now if only the audio would work in Wine.

I’ve been walking in Yeesha’s steps again, re-learning about the Least, the Bahro.  I’ve been remembering the puzzles, their solutions, and their meanings in a story that I thought forgotten.  Because I’ve done it before, there is a feeling of breezing through things, of worrying more about rote than the experience.

I’m hoping that once I complete all that I completed before, I’ll be able to drop back into the in-Cavern mode, and begin writing from the character’s perspective again.  I continued that tradition with EVE, and it’s a lot of fun.
