Ramblings of General Geekery

Last year I watched all the James Bond movies in order and my summary is that they’re rather mediocre movies, but with some fun intro, catchy credits sequence, and occasionally there’s a good set piece or character or moment.


We finally played the Spectaculars #TTRPG last week-end and it was pretty interesting! I’m not sure that it’s our jam past a one-shot or two, but it was fun! I had to spice up the rather bland first issue scenario though.

Table with a whole bunch of Spectaculars cards, dice, and character sheets... plus some empty plates from eating apple and/or blueberry pies!

Just read an article about how “genAI will let us take back the open web” and…. ugh.


Thinking about a Mission: Impossible #TTRPG, I wonder whether it should be a straight up adaptation, or a “X but with Y” thing like “M:I but in Fantasy Renaissance Venice”. One reason is that since some M:I tech (like masks) feels magic, why not actual magic?

TFW probably a good portion of the people laid-off by Epic today are looking at Video Game Worker Unions…


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 🤞🏽


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!”
