iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Watched Aliens with some friends tonight who hadn’t seen it before. It holds up beautifully.

I would love to try to broaden the “Brindlewood” narrative framework to work for basic tropey fantasy plot reveals in a system-agnostic way. Structure it sort of like the myths and omens from Mythic Bastionland.

I was just explaining that the “Slow Horses” theme song that Mick Jagger sings is essentially the “Brady Bunch” theme song

Beka and I got home before 1pm and she’s resting and eating well. Manageable pain, reasonable mobility. The weather is cooling off with a nice breeze and I’m taking the dog on a walk before dark. All is well.

Shortly after this post I noticed only killed the mid-biome mini boss but the actual first boss as well. Promptly died in zone two but I unlocked a TON of helpful perks as well as the assault rifle, so YAY

Starting what feels like an earnest playthrough of VOID/BREAKER and it is kicking my butt. Still haven’t cleared the first miniboss but damn does the gameplay feel good.

There’s a new “Digital Shades”-era M83 record and a new “Sea Change”/“Morning Phase”-style Beck record. I’m loving this so much.

I finally grabbed Tetris Effect and Lumines Arise in the Steam sale along with Agent 64, so the new Steam Machine library is content complete for local multiplayer titles.

Between the kids at home and the yokels at work, I could probably build a decent side hustle by charging people a quarter every time I flush the toilet for them.

If you loved the specific warm analog synth ambience of the Blade Runner soundtrack, allow me to recommend the “Cloudpunk” and “Nivalis Nights” game soundtracks by Harry Critchley. Also “Dystopika” by Sascha Dikiciyan.

I'm 100 pages into The Magicians, and between this book and The Bright Sword, I'm convinced that Lev Grossman is one of the best to ever do it.

Nothing like spending nearly the first full day of a corporate retreat working on proposals against a deadline. At least it was raining for most of it and I got to skip the team building project.

Still images from the You Can See Everything trailer with machinery added to look like Fielder is administering the Voight Kampff test from Blade Runner to Holmes.

I ordered a used Blu Ray of Walter Mitty and it came with the soundtrack CD. Never seen this before. Wasn’t in the listing or on the disc packaging anywhere, either.

New electrical panel is installed, electricians were here at 9am on the dot and completely done by 3:30pm. Total pros, super friendly, even threw in a new garage circuit for Beka’s workshop. Highly recommend Advantage Electric to anyone shopping around for residential electric contractors.

It’s poker night. Game table is full of cards and chips. Crock pot is full of beef and peppers. Mini fridge is full of fizzy lifting drinks (Lacroix). Hoping to be the guy with $25+ at the end of the night.
