Got my latest antibody test results today. Here’s a graph. It’s incomplete, and beware 2500+ is the upper range, and doesn’t go more precisely. But basically since my bonus extra 3rd primary vaccine in autumn 2021 I have been getting very good responses. And it’s lasting. I had virtually no Covid antibodies after my 2nd Covid primary vaccine but got an extra 3rd primary because I am severely immunosuppressed to try to bring me up to where other people were after two vaccines. I am very very lucky getting good responses now. Many immunosuppressed people don’t get any protection from the vaccines. But it’s helping me, even if at great personal cost. My brain autoimmune disease is very unstable, and a week after every Covid vaccine it starts flaring, with appalling neurological symptoms. And that goes on for 3 long months each time. But the vaccines could save my life, so I keep getting them. And coping with the flares. But yay antibodies! My 7th Covid vaccine will be a fortnight from today. I expect to be extremely ill from mid June through mid September. But it is worth it. And we haven’t caught Covid yet.

I'm currently playing Level 9 interactive fiction text adventure game Knight Orc from 1987. Which feels like a MUD with many autonomous NPCs running around, fighting and grabbing treasure! And has some very unusual command shortcuts, as shown in the image of part of the manual. A very intriguing game. Which can get into unwinnable states, like Melbourne House's The Hobbit. But I am very much enjoying it. Will write up more thoughts after. I have a dedicated thread on the intfiction forum for my new foray into old games.

Some of the command shortcuts, e.g. FOLLOW <person>, GO TO <place> (which works out the sequence of moves needed), RUN TO <place> (like GO TO but faster), and FIND <object> to go to a place with a specific object.
