We are spending the week in a renovated clergy house, but they kept the old door with, like, 3 different metallic thingies to unlock it. I feel like I’m opening up a medieval castle to let the peasants out.

Holidays back in France means my parents dump another box of old books for me to take home. This time some classic Ennis, Ellis, and Miller stuff, plus some manga (some of which may have aged very poorly, I’ll have to read it again)

Bots are getting fucking annoying. Before we had to deal with bots probing for vulnerabilities, now we also have to deal with genAI bots aggressively harvesting data. I have to do a little sysadmin work to kick them out…

Currently learning how the Lunar Empire brought civilization to yet another tribe of hillbilly Orlanthi clans! Public baths, latrines, heated floors, and more! #Glorantha

The August dark chocolate drop has arrived! Yay!

While packing all the stuff for the upcoming renovation, I found these maps from when I started my RuneQuest campaign a few years ago… good times!
