Getting better, thanks. I didn't work from home full time until after I got COVID the first time. The second infection is probably from my son's daycare, but believe it or not, as antisocial as I am, we're always out and about or at some kind of get together.

When I was at the grocery store yesterday some older angry gentleman was huffing around blaming the long lines and empty shelves on Sleepy Joe Biden. I'm just standing there shaking my head because the shelves were actually pretty well stocked but the one item in the frozen food section that he was looking for when he started ranting was gone (our line was backed up into the aisle) and the long lines could easily be blamed on the fact that the store was packed because the main grocery store chain in the metro area is on strike and despite that they only have 3 lanes open. All this is just to say that if you try you can interpret anything to fit your political worldview.

I was so sick a couple of days ago that I was pretty sure that I had covid for the third time but thankfully my rapid test said nope. Then my wife got whatever I had and was so sick she was sure she had covid again and her test said nope as well.

I have a key for The Darkside Detective on GOG if anyone is feeling frisky

I dunno, I think the other isometric games of the time did well enough for that not to be the issue. I mean, I didn't like PoE very much but I still gave Deadfire a shot and thought that it was much better in most respects. Maybe others didn't give Deadfire a chance not because of isometric but because of the first game.

Mushroom and onion soup

Wendaug is so stupid

Need to run to the grocery store during my lunch break but the workers are on strike at the main chain (Kroger) that I go to. I hope they get it resolved soon because I'm not shopping there during the strike and it's at least 15 minutes to the next chain (Albertsons) which makes it hard to squeeze into a lunch break.

Considering getting Expeditions: Rome but 45 bucks is more than I like to spend on myself

The Activision deal isn't expected to go through until some time in 2023 so I doubt they're changing things around too much since it could fall through

I wish MS would buy Disney. I mean, I wouldn't use a genie wish, or a monkey's paw, or the spell wish or anything like that but thoughts and prayers all day e'ery day.

Sick as a dog. Took a rapid covid test just in case and it was negative so it's probably just the regular yuck.

It cracks be up every time I tell on Curl for looting corpses since by this point if I haven't already written the book on corpse looting then I've at least penned the foreword.

I just like it. I have no argument other than that. I don't think all games should be isometric but my favorite ones tend to be.

You can't find it in schools because we banned it because it was in schools. Am I getting that right, Bruce?

Do we know what Josh's game is going to be like?

My negativity is aimed at things in general and not anything specific. Things can always be worse, hopefully it's not, but it always can be. I'm totally fine with MS taking over a large chunk of gaming and this particular acquisition doesn't affect me at all since I don't play their games. I did like Malc's suggestion though.

Experience has taught me that things can always be worse

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is where it's at

Watched the first episode of Boba Fett and when the credits rolled I turned to my wife and asked if she liked it. Nope! I've never seen her answer so fast.

It's definitely been covered more extensively but better is questionable because what I like about the show is how they're not afraid to go full blown crazy.

I find him a bit annoying but at the same time wish we had more interaction with all of Seelah's little crew. All their quest resolutions are a little too simplistic.

I thought only Tom Cruise could do that

The first episode actually was. At least for them anyway, since they were covering the news from the past year

Ancient Aliens is back on so I'm watching that.
