Documenting a Narrative Horror Game: Lessons from Building a Fan Wiki

I recently built a fan guide for The Skin Stapler, an indie narrative horror game from Tainted Pact Games (creators of Suffer the Night). It launched on Steam in August 2026.

  • Fan guide focuses on contextual information, not walkthroughs
  • Covers character backgrounds, timeline, thematic analysis
  • Developed using static site generator, markdown, JSON

I built a crypto trading bot. It lost to doing nothing.

Every trading bot post ends the same way: a green equity curve and a suspicious silence about whether it made real money. This post is the other one.

  • TradingAI bot lost 122.44% compared to Bitcoin's 127.77% over three years
  • Bot suffered from look-ahead bias, zero fees, overfitting, and diversification issues
  • Proper backtesting and diversification made TradingAI performance similar to single coin investment

  • Malicious build.rs scripts could download and execute remote payloads during compilation.
  • Proposed Cargo wrapper compares lockfiles, flags permission changes for review.
