I continue my archeological search.
On topographic maps of my region, I'm looking for places where may be unknown hillforts. Then I go on the spot to see if there are signs of old fortifications. If so, I make a small file that I send to an archeologist.
I discoved so 3 unknown hillforts.
The necessary qualities are patience ( more than 9 times out of 10, there is nothing) and the "meaning" of the the landscape (after 2 or 4 thousand years, the ruins are really in ruins).
But I like this treasure hunt.

Wow that is awesome! I had no idea you did that Tombe!

Oh yeah talking of video games, I still love Minecraft. I don't care what anyone says, Minecraft is a fantastic game. My latest, most interesting world is entirely desert biome. It adds a little bit of extra challenge as there are literally no trees. Trees don't exist in the world. There are dead bushes for sticks but the only other source of wood is from mine shafts. There are a few other things that are in short supply that just really force you to think about what you want to do. Damn it's fun.

Ive always loved that game. Terraria is another fun one. I wish Minecraft would put more complicated machines in there like gears and what not but you can make some pretty interesting stuff as is. The fully functioning computers in game people have made are pretty amazing. That is a great game. Right now I play it on the Switch occasionally but I’ve been tinkering with it for many years. I always come back to it at some point.

Also the battle mode is an absolute blast lol. My daughter and I used to play that every day and we got pretty damn good at it.
