The Stochastic Game

Ramblings of General Geekery

Speaking of the Bitmap Brothers, I’m such a fan that I also have this art print in my dining room:

Reminder: if you’re a big Bitmap Brothers fan like me, there’s a wonderful book for you called “The Bitmap Brothers: Universe”, published by Read Only Memory, with cool facts, interviews, photos, and more! Can’t recommend this book enough.

The fluffy good boy found a new ball at the park a few days ago. He’s very happy about this ball.

The fluffy good boy is tired. He’s taking a nap. Do like the good boy: don’t hesitate to take a nap if you feel like it!

American Apple bloggers are calling 3rd party app stores laws from the EU & Japan hypocrite because they don’t include video game consoles… When I do my email, work, banking, and payments on a PS5, you can bet I’ll support government regulation in that space. Until then, I find this is really grasping at straws to defend corporations that don’t need defending.

Yesterday morning the good fluffy boy and I got caught in a heavy downpour… fun times. What is usually a little stream in the summer temporarily turned to a raging torrent

Yesterday we took the good fluffy boy up to Quarry Rock! Lots of people there to impress as he went into the ugly muddy pool at the top to cool down…
