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.

I’m a few days late but I finally got around to do it this year! The younger kid helped, too.

Firefly and Serenity were good. Buffy was good. I don’t need reboots or sequels or whatever. What I’d rather have are original and diverse new premises and stories. In the meantime, I’ll be watching old stuff I missed.

When someone points at problems with the excesses of late-stage capitalism, there’s always some dumbass who replies “well what do you want then? make everything free?!” and half the time it’s somebody you thought was actually educated 😬

I should be more like Conan when I read articles about regurgitative AI and other stupid new tech trends.

Would you care for some more chocolate?

And that’s it for our Dragonbane campaign, after ~27 sessions! Azrael Koth lies impaled on a demon statue after being blasted by a Critical Thunderbolt spell worth 46 points of damage! Everybody rejoice! That game was great, and super easy to run.

This little colour game is fun, but I suspect it depends more on your screen than on your eyes. I got 0.0080 on my phone and 0.0021 on my work monitor. At some point I think I could better see the monitor being dirty and imperfect than anything else.
