Amazingly, I created this post document on the 17th! Not the day before publication date, like I’ve been doing the last couple of times. Sadly I still don’t have anything particularly noteworthy to report. And I forgot to finish it. And I also forgot to post it on the right day.Gaming Some games I’ve played recently on PC and PS5 while listening to shows: Wreckfest, Flatout4, Trail Out, BeamNG.drive, Manor Lords, Timberborn, and Crusader Kings 3. These games are what I like to

I’m fascinated by the “Recall Knowledge” concept, which, based on how I see it used in the Glass Cannon world, might as well be called “Let Me Metagame In A Way That People Won’t Yell At Me For Metagaming.” It’s such a weird thing to put into a tabletop game with codified rules. 16:38 # My house has two 4-lamp fluorescent light

Oops, I did it again. It’s the 14th as I create this blank document to start a new post. This never bodes well. In fact, it boded so not-well that I’m a day late publishing this, and the extra time did little to improve the post. I’m going to go off-script and mention a couple things that are on my mind that don’t fit into the usual categories. Social Media I’ve more-or-less stopped doing social media in the last six months. I don’t log into X Twitter anymore

Well, well, it’s the day before publication date, and I’m just now creating a blank document to write a post. I haven’t done that in a while. I usually create a blank document early in the cycle and jot down a sentence or paragraph here and there over the weeks.That means I don’t really have anything to say, and I don’t feel like writing, and I don’t feel like letting the world see any part of my life. Other bloggers push through this feeling and post anyway,

Holy crap! It’s the 31st already and I need to post this! I’m fully unprepared. Gaming There was some kerfuffle with some game developer, which had everybody shouting “Gamergate 2!” It’s so, so obviously an SEO ploy that I haven’t bothered to read about it.

I had a crazy idea. I have a lot of those. I live alone with two cats so I have no choice in the matter.For quite a while, I’ve been wishing I could find a handful of tolerant and compatible tabletop players so I could try out DMing some games, and I’ve gotten no closer to my goal. (Part of the problem is that I’m terrified of talking to strangers and I haven’t actually put any work into that search, but I’m sure that’s unrelated.) So this past weekend I decided

Whoops, 15 days have passed already, and Daylight Savings Time started. It’s over 80 degrees outside as I’m typing this, which is a pretty early Spring. I don’t have a problem with this, because it means I can end my winter hibernation period. For the second winter in a row, it didn’t snow very much and rarely got below 20 degrees outside.I’m remembering that there’s a total solar eclipse happening in the U.S. in about a month, and I swore to myself back in 2017

Tier 1 and 2 upgrade stones are infinite (as long as you farm for souls), but the tier 3 upgrade materials to upgrade weapons up to +8 are extremely rare, so I’m stuck with the one +8 weapon I picked first, and I can’t switch to any of the other weapons that keep raining like candy down on
