Realised there were a few flaws in my Labyrinthine, Massive Pyramid(tm) in Conan Exiles. Deciding whether to finish it off as is, restart in a different location leaving the crumbling ruins as memorial for failed architecture, or just tear down and start again...

What is weirdly entertaining is seeing the various discussions on the length of Ahsoka's lekku in live-action as opposed to animation that promptly started springing up online after the episode.

On that economic turn due to Covid, recent reports from some think-tanks in the UK are saying that over 700,000 people have been moved over the poverty line this year due to various pandemic related issues. Which apparently makes it that around 23% of the UK population is now considered to be "in poverty". Of course, the various right-of-center and left-of-center think tanks are arguing whether Government responses have helped or hindered.

I'm trying to decide just how to take the news that China has savaged Australia for allowing their soldiers to kill innocent civilians and deny human rights outrages.

Exactly that. Getting to watch that slow cycle in Hong Kong as China establishes "unity" by basically making it illegal to dissent.

I thought that list was turning into the whole "those games are my retirement hobbies plan..."

Tell me about it. UK Twitter was trending Michael Cain. Only when I checked did I find it was because of the Muppet Christmas Carol, and not because he had died.

My attitude to so much this year...

The fact that this still needs to be discussed seriously...

As various discussions have been seen regarding the ages of the forums and those "old regulars"...

BBC - David Prowse, Aged 85

To be fair, the rushed pacing wasn't the fault of the script per se. They basically got told that they would get a fifth season, so they tried to cram the Shadow/Vorlon war and freeing Earth into one season, when the initial idea was for the return to Earth to be season 5. Only after shooting most of it, and shooting the final episode (Sleeping in Light), did they get told they did have a 5th season, and then basically stretched out a few loose threads. They wrote and shot a new "end of season 4 episode", wrote up that whole "first year of the alliance" with the threads they had for season 5, and then put Sleeping in Light on the end there.
