So Epic Games laid off 1/4 of their employees this morning… including me! If you’ve chatted with me in the past about #UE5 cameras, I’m figuring out how to continue working on that. And if you need a #gamedev who knows cinematics, animation, cameras, and more, hit me up!
Sure enough, one of the drives in my NAS failed during the night. Luckily I live within two blocks of both Canada Computers and Memory Express so I grabbed two Ironwolf drives and one of them is currently used to rebuild the RAID array 🤞🏽
Fuck me, my NAS is detecting some potential upcoming failures on one or two of my drives… luckily, it seems that the crazy storage prices are mainly for SSDs, and good ol’ NAS drives only went up by a (comparatively) small margin. But still…
Me when it’s sunny, walking the dog: “Listen to that, the birds are singing! So beautiful! So relaxing!”
The birds, probably: “OMG LONG LEGS AND KILLER TEETH ARE HERE! RUN! HIDE!”
If you design a Medieval Japan TTRPG, you really need a character class with flatulence fighting feats, as the He-Gassen tells us. Don’t look at me like that, people, it’s just historical fact, I don’t make the rules.
12th century emakimono librarian: “Be kind, rewind!”
My face when my Pendragon (session zero) players tell me “These rules look very good! The RuneQuest rules from last year were shit, though! Why didn’t Chaosium use those rules for RuneQuest? What’s the story there?”
And in other eBay news, I may have gotten some old 1985 item at, like, a quarter of the usual “collector’s market” price. Not sure if the item isn’t quite what I thought, or if nobody was paying attention (it was a pretty short auction). We’ll see when it arrives!
I don’t get the practice of “sniping” items on eBay at the end of an auction? I just put my maximum bid from the start and don’t think about it anymore. If I wasn’t willing to pay more than that 2 weeks ago, I’m not gonna be either 2 minutes before the end.
When the good fluffy boy wants me to enter the Black Lodge…
