Today I’m trying to catch up to any unanswered discussions with #UE5 GameplayCameras #gamedev users who contacted me through various means. Lots of very good feedback there, thanks to all who wrote! If I haven’t replied to you by tomorrow, ping me!

My first thought after watching “The Wrath of Khan” was that it seems to eschew the “intellectual sci-fi” plots of TOS for some “action sci-fi” blockbuster plot. I wondered if fans originally criticized it and then cooled down on it later, but apparently not? Everybody loved it right away?

The coyote dad/mom (?) of Byrne Creek Park seems busy today. Saw it twice. The good fluffy boy isn’t happy about it (he’s racist against coyotes). Thankfully he’s now relaxing with a ball.

I still remember the sense of excitement I felt upon learning the existence of an animal called the “wombat”, imagining a dreadful winged creature of the night, and the utter disappointment that followed when I saw what it actually looks like.

I played through The Last Of Us (Part 1) a couple months ago and my hot take is that it’s like a David Cage game: it’s more interested in being a movie with vaguely interactive scenes between story beats than being a video game. The difference with a David Cage game is that it’s actually very good.

Tonight we are close to the end of our RuneQuest campaign’s main story arc, and I don’t know if the Alone Confederation will survive! I somehow managed to bring cosmic-horror into our Glorantha, with elder gods fleshed out of the Celestial Court! My Call of Cthulhu is showing! 😅

Entering the town of Twin Peaks.

On this Twin Peaks day, I remember when I first watched the series… it was back in France, we had a group of friends passing around copies of copies of VHS tapes, giving the whole thing a sort-of Ringu-like “cursed video” vibe. It was GREAT.

STOP!
