Taken out the doorway of my cottage. Messed with the color and contrast a bit to make it more dynamic. I thought about moving the lawn chair or at least putting it upright but I actually like it there. Gives the place a lived in feeling.

My niece's kitten.

Cincinnati had 10 points off of 3 turnovers and still lost to my Jets.

My Jets out gained Cincinnati by 60 yards in the first half but thanks to 2 interceptions and 1 fumble the Bengals have a 17-14 lead.

I'd love to see an MMO set in Eora but I'd rather see an outside studio make it, kinda like how Bethesda did Elder Scrolls Online.

I used to like professional wrestling in the 80's but I've got too many hobbies and too little time to keep up with it these days.

SureAI the makers of Enderal and Nehrim announced they're making a new game with their own engine. https://forum.sureai.net/viewtopic.php?f=136&t=14730

Steve Buscemi was Fain in my head canon.

No spoiler tag needed here 'cause this is speculation, but if such a thing were to happen in the books the White Tower would've plotted to dislodge the whitecloaks from Amadicia. After all, kingdoms have risen and fallen by the grace of the White Tower for less. Seems like a weak attempt to make the whitecloaks into mage killers when they were already terrifying as peasant killers.

I liked the Mass Effect where they had that big robot thing that went, "wwwoommm!" And you played as the "only man for the job" 'cause you're the only man for the job. And then there was the funny part where the funny guy said the funny thing and it was funny. And then there were these bad guys that wanted the thing but then you stop them from getting the thing. Oh, and then you bang a blue chick! That was cool.

I still find it amazing people still say ME3 would've been perfect if not for the final 5 minutes. Apparently I was the only one to see BioWare rip off the plot of a direct to video Steven Seagal movie to cure the genophage.

Best explanation I've seen for the hiatus/cancelation:

Better ending than the trilogy. Better romances, too.

Ya'll have clearly never been alpha reader for a high school creative writing class if those are the worst prose you've read.

Heathen.

The Pats are quite possibly the best coached team in the NFL, but Belichick has always had one great flaw as a GM: projecting talent from the college ranks into the NFL. He's had a handful of good-ish players, Brady, and almost nothing but busts when you look at his drafts. Brady covered that flaw. He could make a below average wide receiver look pretty good. His short passing game can open lanes for your wasted of a first round pick runningback. Now that Brady's gone Belichick's flaw is only more important. The Pats lack talent. Trust me, I remember the beating they put on the Jets a couple of weeks ago, but they are only marginally better talent wise than even the Jets. And most of that is because of the differences in where Jones is to Wilson. This last off season they spent 80+ million in free agency to try to upgrade the roaster. 1) They'll finish with the same or fewer wins on the season: 7. 2) After the season they will have to go into rebuilding mode because it's staticatically proven that spending that much money in a single free agency period will inflate your wins for that season but not the following. I predict that unless they remove Belichick as GM, the Pats are truly over and will be for quite awhile.

Pats are a fart noise. They play games close and they are well coached by they just lack the talent, same as last year.

I actually like our general manager.

<Jets fan. Will always hate the Pats, even when they suck.

Took me way longer than I thought it would (25 hours, which is twice as long as the first game), but I beat the final boss in Huniepop 2. It was unironically the hardest boss encounter in any game I've ever played. One minute I'm cruising through the game and the next they kick the difficulty up to a 12. Devs must've got a lot of feedback about wanting a tougher final boss. Now on to a Pokemon fan game: Xenoverse. While the Pokemon Company has let me down with the last few main series entries, recently there've been a lot of fan games to come out. I've got about six on my to-play list. The game mechanics are similar to 4th gen but Xenoverse has all the later gen pokemon, too. Of all the fan games I looked at Xenoverse definitely looks like it had the biggest budget. There's even an animated intro that must've been a pain to implement in RPG Maker. So far I'm liking Xenoverse more than I did either Sun/Moon or Sword/Shield.

Hope they skip the final 3 books. I can't stand the Sanderson trilogy. Talk about reconning. They were awful.
