Exploring the Thrills of Mount Merapi: A Family Jeep Adventure Through Indonesia's Active Volcano

Introduction

Nestled near Yogyakarta, Indonesia, Mount Merapi is one of the world's most active volcanoes, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and historical significance. Our family embarked on a thrilling jeep tour to explore the areas affected by its eruptions, gaining insights into the volcano's impact on local communities.

The Journey to Mount Merapi

Our adventure began with an hour-long drive from Yogyakarta to the slopes of Mount Merapi. The region is renowned for its volcanic activity, with Merapi being the most active among the surrounding volcanoes. Its frequent minor eruptions of hot ash and lava flows have shaped the landscape and nearby villagers' lives.

Historical Context

Mount Merapi's eruptions have been both destructive and transformative. The volcano's activity has led to the development of rich, fertile soils, supporting agriculture in the region. However, eruptions have also posed significant risks to local communities, necessitating continuous monitoring and adaptation.

The Jeep Tour Experience

Upon arrival, we joined a guided jeep tour to various locations impacted by Merapi's eruptions. The rugged terrain made for an exhilarating ride, with each stop offering a glimpse into the volcano's powerful influence.

• Museum Visits: We visited small museums housing photographs and artifacts left by villagers, providing a poignant reminder of the eruptions' impact.

• Bunker Exploration: A highlight was exploring a bunker built as a refuge during eruptions, showcasing the community's resilience and preparedness.

• Souvenir Shops: At each stop, local vendors offered souvenirs and beverages, reflecting the entrepreneurial spirit of the residents.

Educational Insights

Our knowledgeable tour guide shared detailed accounts of past eruptions, explaining how they have shaped the environment and local livelihoods. We learned how the place is cleared of people and not allowed to stay near the volcano for fear of eruptions. 

Capturing the Moments

Equipped with my Nikon Z8 and a 7artisans 35mm manual focus lens, I documented our journey through photos and videos. This combination helps capture the dynamic landscapes and candid moments of our adventure.

Conclusion

Our family excursion to Mount Merapi was both thrilling and enlightening. The experience offered a profound understanding of the volcano's impact on nature and human life. For those interested in geology history, or simply seeking adventure, a visit to Mount Merapi provides a compelling glimpse into the resilience of the land and its people.

STEAM PC - Geneforge 1 - Mutagen RPG gameplay

ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15 (2021) Gaming Laptop, 15.6” 165Hz IPS QHD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, 32GB DDR4, 1TB SSD, Opti-Mechanical Per-Key RGB Keyboard, Windows 10 Pro, G533QS-XS98Q

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I got the chance to play Geneforge 1 – Mutagen (STEAM link) which is a total remaster of the 20-year old indie classic Geneforge. With the help of a successful Kickstarter, this new game is a completely remade and greatly expanded recreation of the original.

Frankly, I kinda remember seeing this game back then. Don't think I've played it though. So, when I heard this game is going to be out soon, I was pretty interested to try it out. For your info, the game will officially be released on Feb 24th, 2021.



ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15 (2021) Gaming Laptop, 15.6” 165Hz IPS QHD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, 32GB DDR4, 1TB SSD, Opti-Mechanical Per-Key RGB Keyboard, Windows 10 Pro, G533QS-XS98Q

This is taken from part of their official press release:

Geneforge 1 – Mutagen will be one of the most open-ended role-playing games available. Choose between a host of rival factions. Use magic or your deadly pets to crush your enemies. Or, use trickery, diplomacy, and stealth to win the game without ever attacking a foe. Destroy the final boss, or switch sides and join him. Fight alone or create your own army of custom-made mutant monsters.

In Geneforge 1 – Mutagen, enter the world of the Shapers. The Shapers are wizards with the awesome power to create life. Need a servant, or a pet, or a tool, or a mighty beast to fight and die for you? The Shapers create it.

MSI Stealth 15M Gaming Laptop: 15.6" 144Hz FHD 1080p Display, Intel Core i7-11375H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, 16GB, 512GB SSD, Thunderbolt 4, WiFi 6, Win10, Carbon Gray (A11UEK-009)

The creations of the Shapers are expected to obey completely. If not, they are destroyed. The Shapers guard their magical secrets with fanatical devotion, executing all who steal them. However, some of the Shapers' creations are intelligent, and they want their freedom. The Shapers underestimate their creations. This mistake will lead to disaster.

The coming rebellion will scorch your continent. Who will win? It will be up to you.

If you're tired of playing all the mobile games that are full of ads or don't have the specs to play the latest graphic-intensive games, this turn-based battle, adventure RPG game will definitely make you love gaming again. The storyline itself is pretty intriguing. 

The power to create and destroy life like a God? The graphics might not be as flashy as the games in 2021, but if you yearn for games of yesteryears (like me) you'll definitely want to play this old but new game. As always, I hope this game will also be available for the Nintendo Switch.

Right now, the Nintendo Switch doesn't have any games of this caliber. The game is pretty deep and you can play it for hours. Planning your strategy, battling through the night, or going for a short adventure before you sleep. I'll definitely get it if it's available.

You can check out the game on the Steam Store page:

You don't really need the latest gaming laptop. But, playing this kind of game on your new laptop would still be fun. Check out some of them with the new RTX 30 series graphic card. It's also portable than a desktop. So you can play your favorite game on the go. Cool!

Nintendo Switch lite - Aground - Survival Crafting Mining Building - gameplay

Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy‑Con - HAC-001(-01)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've talked about indie and free-to-play mobile games coming to the Nintendo Switch. And, they keep coming. Yesterday, I get the chance to download and play the game Aground (eShop). An interesting survival/mining/crafting 2D Rpg game and I must say, I quite enjoy playing it on my Nintendo Switch lite.

Frankly, I don't play this kind of game much. As I prefer racing and fps shooter game. It's still fun though. And being able to play it on the go is why I like my Switch lite so much. You can play, saved, stop and then play again. Just like playing a mobile game only better because there's a proper controller.



Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy‑Con - HAC-001(-01)

Talking about the proper controller, you can quickly learn which buttons to use as the game will show the icon to guide you. I read that the game dev didn't want an open world type of survival game and they prefer to let the player focus on mining, crafting tools, and building.

That's why I felt like you're not wasting time and can quickly build and grow your own community. There's a little bit of action as wild boars will come and attack you. Playing the game, I realized that players will be spending hours on it as there seems so much to do and managed.



Aground (Original Game Soundtrack) (Deluxe Edition)

One thing I notice is how relaxing the game music is. There's been a few games that include a music player that gamers can listen to on their Nintendo Switch. As there's no real music player on the Switch that you can listen to your own music, 

I don't know why Nintendo doesn't have a music or video player. They have it on the 3DS. In fact, the Switch has a much better screen and probably sound. Besides gaming, I use my switch lite to watch youtube and listen to music before I sleep.



Nintendo Switch Lite - Gray

This game isn't actually new. It's also available on other platforms. Personally, for me, it really fits playing on a Nintendo Switch or in my case the Nintendo Switch lite. You don't need big storage to install this game and I think it's pretty light on the battery, so you'll be able to play for longer hours.

This kind of game can be pretty addictive. As you're always mining, crafting, and building. You'll be fighting monsters and soon you'll even be able to build spaceships and fly out to space. Yup, don't let the simple 2D graphics fool you. This game is much much more than your simple mobile game.



Afterglow Prismatic LED Deluxe Wireless Controller: Multicolor - Nintendo Switch

The game dev also said that Aground kinda is like the text-based game, A Dark Room. Which, I also play. I like text-based games and Aground has a little bit of that. Like I keep saying, this kind of game really fits into the Nintendo Switch.

Being able to play this game on the go like mobile gaming. Only that, you have a better playing experience because of the easier and much better control with a real game controller. I can't stress how much better the Switch lite is for gaming than a mobile phone.

Check out some of the official graphics below:

You can watch my Aground gameplay on my youtube channel here!

The game will only be able to be played on Feb 11, 2021. But, you can add it to your wish list now!

Click here to visit the Aground eShop page. Definitely, one of my favorite survival, an adventure game to be played on my Nintendo Switch lite. Play it any time and anywhere!

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Quick latest indie game promo!

Feeling stress out, bored of the pandemic and chaotic world today? Get lost in a beautiful world that reminds you of a children's book that comes to life!

I just download the game today for my Nintendo Switch lite, and I must say, I'm loving it. I love the beautiful arts and open-world surroundings. It's a place that I'll rather be in than the world we're living in right now. Awesome!

The story is pretty much about you having to take over your aunt's restaurant or something. You can fix up the place to your personal preferences. Nothing fancy. In my video gameplay, I'm more interested in exploring the place and enjoying the scenery.

Nintendo Switch Indie Puzzle Game Where the Bees Make Honey gameplay

Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy‑Con - HAC-001(-01)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

New indie game, Where the Bees Make Honey is coming out for the Switch on 17 October!

'WHERE THE BEES MAKE HONEY' ON NINTENDO SWITCH COMING OCTOBER 2019
Joins Xbox One, PS4, and PC Editions

Store Page (NA): https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/where-the-bees-make-honey-switch/

October 1st, 2019 -- Wakefield Interactive and Whitethorn Digital are excited to announce their puzzle adventure game Where the Bees Make Honey is coming to Nintendo Switch later this month for $9.99 USD (or region equivalent) -- joining the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC editions!



Nintendo Switch Lite - Turquoise

Where the Bees Make Honey tells a story about reflecting on different moments from a childhood, which is played and experienced from an adult perspective. It's a dreamy, ethereal, and thoughtfully crafted experience about nostalgia. The game is capturing that grace period in a childhood where playing dress-up was larger than life and changed the environments around you.

At its core Where the Bees Make Honey is a puzzle adventure game, but gameplay variation is filtered throughout. When the game's main character Sunny is an adult reflecting on the times when she was young, the game is played in a first-person perspective. This transition period takes place at her workplace, where she is ultimately at a crossroads with what to do next in her life.

Playable vignettes allow for the game to transition into each season. This allows for a more focused approach for storytelling and player engagement. The vignettes offer an additional perspective of the season they precede. The gameplay varies considerably between seasons, vignettes, and moments.

To celebrate the Switch edition's release, a new puzzle level will be included as an update across all platforms -- free to all Where the Bees Make Honey owners.

About Wakefield Interactive

Where The Bees Makes Honey is the brainchild of Wakefield Interactive's lone member Brian Wilson. The game was conceptualized after the recurring idea of playing pretend as kids. Through the lens of liminality, Brian wanted to capture the idea of being in one place but being able to view it from different perspectives. This was realized after visiting a local lake over the course of his life, and understanding that the lake had stayed the same but his appreciation for it had changed as he grew older. Brian started development in early 2016 while receiving an Associate of Science degree in Multimedia Programming, Simulation and Gaming from the Community College of Allegheny County.
