Ramblings of General Geekery
“Alberta May Adopt a US Health-Care Billing System”: not just a “US-style” health-care. Danielle Smith wants the *actual* US health care billing system. She really is the worst, and I hope someone is really looking in depth at her finances.
Reading Classic RuneQuest: What Is Time?
Last time, in my ongoing read of the old RuneQuest 2nd edition, we learned how to make a character. Now, things are becoming serious: we are in the mechanics chapter! Also known as Chapter 3 of the RQ2 rulebook! But wait! Once again I get myself in a rabbit hole of my own creation, and I end up only covering a quarter of a page while ranting for, like, ten times as long!
I swear I’m not doing it on purpose, people. Anyway, let’s gooooo!
“After Buying EA, Silver Lake and PIF Are Reportedly Now Seeking to Acquire Gaming Software Provider Unity”: Funny how the video game industry’s insistance on being taken “seriously” in the early 1990s led to this kind of shit happening every month now. And congratulations to Godot once again.
“Steam gets a boatload of restored Wing Commanders and Ultima ports after EA producer stumbles across cupboard of old tapes”: Wow EA did something good for once! But go grab those at GOG instead, you’ll thank me later. I already owned these games there, and apparently it’s a free update? Nice.
“Letterboxd in Negotiations to Be Acquired by New York Times Company”: Good luck to all of you who use and love Letterboxd… 😕😩
“These are the highlights from the 2026 federal budget”: the new federal budget was announced and this article does what it says on the tin.
Can’t remember which one is a stalagmite and which one is a stalactite? Learn French! We’ve got the absolute best mnemonic for that! (“les stalagmites montent, les stalagtites tombent”)
Good morning! Skies are looking beautiful and spooky these days. The good fluffy boy is just as good and fluffy though.
The Traveller RPG Classic Box Set Reprint is coming to Kickstarter soon, as Mongoose Publishing gears up to the celebrations next year for Traveller’s 50th anniversary… nice! Almost in time for me completing my Classic Traveller collection!
