More questing in Velen today. The Shrieker contract, turns out, usually a rough one to do right at level 8 because he has a relatively large health pool and a big swing radius, well, this time I'm running a sign build and I just Igni'd him repeatedly. Fried chicken! #witcher3

Most of today, aside from yet more HDR tinkering, was spent exploring Velen and knocking out sidequests. I've done this so many times, I was delighted to discover this rock carving I had never found before. Hopefully tomorrow can get back on the main quest. #witcher3

No matter how many playthroughs I do, Yoana's Monster deck is always an early stumbling block. I just want your card so I can move on with my life! #witcher3

Really annoying spot in Velen where you have to fight not one but two Foglets at once. Had to pull out all the stops, oils, potions, bombs, signs. Took a few deaths but we got it. #witcher3

"Nilfgaard recently started a war. Unprovoked. So do us both a favor and stop moralizing." I love this scene. Voorhis is a criminally underused character, I wish we could have gotten more of him. Also, have to love getting a second bath scene before Act 1 even properly starts.

I really respect the fact that Matt Campbell doesn't run out with the players out on the field. Bothers me when coaches do that. Wish that was more common.

There's always gotta be something with the Packers. Can't just enjoy a cool moment. First they almost call it back. then a PAT. just maddening.

I'll never forget my sister's disgust and contempt when she came over one time and saw me watching the college football quad box on YouTube TV. You'd have thought she caught me eating 3 gallons of lard.

Star Wars Zero Company is a fantastic game, but it commits a cardinal sin by not giving me a menu option to turn off chromatic aberration and film grain.

Ben Pascoe @badger8th.bsky.social · 02/08/2026
I don't think it's a coincidence that out of the teams I care about the most, the ones in salary capped leagues (Packers, Bucks) have won titles in my lifetime, while the ones who play in leagues where unlimited spending is rampant (Brewers, Badgers) are perpetually stuck.

Incredible win. How we score against Belgium without Balogun, I have no idea. Tomorrow problems I suppose. Look at them fight though, this is not the same US men's team.

Irritated Historian Sunday: I was all hyped to listen to the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake shanty collection, because to my delight Ubisoft brought back Sean Dagher and the rest of the crew from the 2013 game to record new songs. And then I see it: The Wellerman.
