Was in Ontario to see aespa, and it was pretty epic. They are truly excellent live. The pivot to a sort of cyberpunk-horror theme for their "lore" bits between sets starting a couple years ago could not have landed at a better time 😂 My KPop bucket list inches closer to completion!

I was so enamored of Portal that I got steam just to pick up Quantum Conundrum before realizing I didn't have a way to play it. I have still never played it :). (Invisible, Inc. was the next game after Unity of Command!)

A list of my first Steam purchases: Quantum Conundrum, Hotline Miami, Kerbal Space Program, Defcon, Kentucky Route Zero, and Unity of Command.

Man, what a great year for my TV interests: The Great Escape is getting a comeback season! And "The Story" suggests they're going to foreground narrative play! Could not be happier! Let's get Agents of Mystery another season too :) 0.soompi.io/wp-content/u... #TGE #thegreatescape #gameplaytv

Snuck into the top-10 all time, in this weird economy, without a major label backing them. That's really nice to see. Kinda crazy how this list is exclusively 4th (3) and 5th (7) gen groups. #nugunolonger #kpop #meovv

Crime Scene is so lit. Even in the early days of the show the quality and detail level of the sets is just 🔥. What a perfect form of entertainment: a murder-mystery LARP game with a solid budget and fun cast members.

Because I am getting a new desk next week, I made myself a desk shelf / organizer this week. Borrowed the concept from Grovemade, so this is "Grovemade at Home" :). The cubby is sized for an M4 mini. Walnut euro-ply and 1/4" cherry, finished with Foureyes Furniture's Sample 73. #woodworking

Britain's party system is much more robust than ours, but also not terribly representative. Here's a contrast with a simple PR system. Labour still leads a coalition government, but it would involve two partners—Liberal Democrats (79 seats, +8 over FPTP) and the Greens (44 seats, +40 over FPTP).

Well, well, well, look at these foundlings—long lost—that showed up on my doorstep this morning. Weirdly emotional about having this saga come to a close. One of—if not the—greatest settings for fantasy adventure ever. A height of imagination matched equally by a hot mess of production & system :).

I built a piece of Good Furniture—my first and hopefully not my last; locally reclaimed cherry and hard maple; based on a Foureyes' design. It's a small media console / cabinet—56" W, 14" D, 36" H (the case is 23" high). I made many mistakes while building it but I couldn't be happier right now!

Update: Deathmatch Island really works, folks! We had a great time with ISLAND ONE—so good we decided to go forward with the rest of the season; can't wait for the next session! It's a very pacey system and a wonderfully helpful and streamlined presentation. Does a great job capturing the feel!

Ope, it started working! 1. Blackpink 2. SHINee 3. Prizm 4. Tangerine Dream 5. Bruno Mars And apparently I'm a "vampire", who likes melodramatic and emotional music. It's rigged, though, since I listen to a lot of other stuff—lofi beats, synthwave, jazz, rock, US hiphop etc.—just not on Spotify :)

I went to college in a tiny town in the heart of Iowa's farm country—I think this might be the only local restaurant still open from the time I was there! (They appear to have many better options now than they did all those years ago.)
