Updates

UPDATE 2025/2/1 – I think all site navigation, function, etc. is restored to where it was before. It’s a little cleaner and simpler, and I’ll probably make some more tweaks when I have time. right now I know the mobile and tablet nav is broken. I will work on that as well (might be fixed by the time you read this).

I don’t usually post the donation link, but I had to purchase this Blocksy theme (I bought the lifetime license, so maybe I’ll get another ten years out of this one too), so if you ever felt like you wanted to help out with hosting fees, I’d be grateful! I’m leaving it on the menu bar for a month or so.

I’ll be back in the next couple of weeks with EPISODE 30! Can you believe it? Cheers, and thanks for listening!

UPDATE 2025/1/31 – No, I wasn’t hacked, but thanks for asking! The developers (SoloPine) of the theme I was using (Redwood) decided to close up shop. I wish them well and have nothing but great things to say about the work they did. I only found out about their personal story after looking for an update to the theme (to allow Bluesky social links). I have to say, the theme was very stable and easy to use and I certainly got my money’s worth out of it. But, I guess all good things come to an end, and I’m having to jump to a new theme, so I guess I’m moving to Blocksy, which seems to be the theme most folks recommended for now. Seems pretty easy to use. After I release the next episode I’ll spring for the sub (insert rant about how everything these days is a subscription instead of a flat-out purchase) and pretty up the site a bit. For now, I think everything’s working. If it’s not, just let me know and I’ll take a look.

UPDATE 2024/12/18 – Just a little added note…

I wanted to take a minute to say that no matter how much time goes by between episodes, please know I am not giving up on this project. Too many of you have written in with such kind messages that brighten my day and keep me going to ever give up on it. I wish I knew what to say to each of you to express how much your comments mean to me. I’m a pretty extreme introvert, which keeps me from engaging more with the Fallout community of amazing people, but I’ll keep trying.

Every year it seems I put forward a goal to make more episodes, and my output over the last four years has been what – three episodes? Four episodes? I’d have to go back and check.

So what’s different for 2025? Well, I’m actually writing just about every day now. I’ve got two screenplays I’m working on, and I’m realistically going to try to have a new MindFog episode every two months. With the release of episode 29, there are now just over eight full hours of MindFog: A Fallout 4 Diary. If I get six more episodes in for 2025, that will bump it up to ten hours (I seem to be averaging around twenty minutes per episode). Sounds like a nice round goal to shoot for.

So thank you again for staying tuned for this upcoming TENTH year of MindFog (hard to believe). I am still spoiler-free all these years later, and have only played up to where I am in the podcast. Supposedly, I’m about 50-60% done. If I can stick to six episodes a year, I should be done just in time for my 60th birthday. Yikes! Have a fantastic holiday season and a Happy New Year!

UPDATE 2024/12/13 – New episode is finally up, closing out the story of “To Kill a Courser.” I can’t thank you all enough for keeping me on your podcatcher (I was surprised to see all the updates this morning pulled from the server). I’m setting a tentative goal for the end of January to drop next episode. We’ll see how it goes lol. I wish you and your friend and family good health and much happiness over the coming holidays and new year!
