Paged Out #6 is out

Summary

Paged Out! Institute Blog Download Issue #6 on the Issues page. As always, we have cover-art wallpapers too—this time made by the amazing Ninja Jo (Katerina Belikova)! We meet yet again! Writing this blog post is the last thing I do before a new Issue is pushed out. So when I write these words all the work has been done, all the problems have been solved (or put on the "do this when we have time" TODO list), and most of our Institute is already relaxing (i.e. busy with other stuff) and eagerly awaiting the publication. It's also when all the stress related to trying to finalize the Issue goes away and the happiness related to publishing a new issue sets in.

Actually one of the delaying factors was that our Menu (Table of Content) script broke again and had to be fixed before pushing the Issue out. It's a good problem to have. We still don't have the print files / option to buy a printed edition for you – blame the stupid flu/cold season for this (please insert some swear words you like here). We're close, but I still want to order some test prints myself before we start offering these. Another thing which I personally want to develop more in Paged Out!, is sourcing articles from the following genres: technical explanations of game glitches (think: speedrunning or movement techniques), technical demoscene tricks, and technical radio/HAM/etc. If you have any solid leads or contact in these communities, please hit me up at gynvael@pagedout.institute. And now, go and enjoy Issue #6! And as usual, the call for articles for Issue #7 is open! 29 March 2025 / Gynvael Download Issue #5 on the Issues page.
