Good morning! Great inversion layer over the lake today…

I didn’t expect to love Succession as much as I did. The first two seasons flew by as I gleefully watched these horrible super-rich people be absolute assholes to each other and to the world. But where other TV series might have fallen into grand-guignol satire, this one stays very grounded, under a thin veneer of witty dark humour. Brilliant. Oh, and “fuck off!”

Reading up on the Eclipse Phase #TTRPG, it looks like Transhuman Space with some added horror and space opera, which is an intriguing combination… it sounds very interesting, if you’re OK with dense “everything plus the kitchen sink” settings. I still want to play Transhuman Space one day, though!

Everybody playing Cities Skylines 2: “It’s so buggy! And the performance is so bad!”

My kid, who played CS1 with a trillion mods that utterly tanked the game: “It’s actually totally fine!”

Our youngest kid has pulled a long con on us, doing all kinds of household chores without being asked for the past two weeks, only to finally ask for Cities: Skylines 2 yesterday with his cutest voice.

Good morning!

The Deer Lake Park eagle is on patrol again!

Good morning! Who else had a nice healthy breakfast today? 😅

Austin Conrad has written a very nice review of the Harnworld hardcover, which I sort-of gifted him because I had spare Game Dollars with Columbia Games…
