What You've Done Today - Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream.
I was very tired. I haven't really slept through a night this week. Yesterday night the phone rang after 3AM, because a neighbour in Greece neither knew or cared I was out of the country in a different timezone. So when I didn't answer and simply texted that I was unavailable out of the country, he spammed me with text messages. As a result I was exhausted all day. Saw a nice coat. Opened XE to check the price in Euro and left out a zero. As a result I accidentally bought a coat at 950€ instead of 95... I so hope I can return it in the morning. That is not really my budget.

Stop over at Shanghai airport. Friend I am traveling with went for a smoke and missed boarding. Tried getting around Tokyo with two huge suitcases and both our carry on. People were quite amused. As one lady said: "You must have a lot of kids" probably thinking I was carrying presents for all of the little rascals. I knew passive smoking was bad.

Dragon Age Veilguard: A rook can only move horizontally or vertically
I find that is a general problem with writers. You even see it in shows like Walking Dead. The protagonist, Whatshishame sheriff in all the Karl memes, had as sole personality trait "protagonist". Writers seem to think audiences will care for the protagonist just because they are supposed to, then wonder why the supporting cast gets all the fans. Then as series progress, often you see secondary characters come to the forefront, because for those some interesting idea was used somewhere on an episode to justify the episode. Think BSG, where nobody cares all that much about the admiral's son, but everyone wanted to know what happened to the guy who gave up his spot to evacuate the scientist - to the extent he got written back into the show.

SW: The Old Republic - Episode VIII (May RNG Be With You)
The result is the same though: Neither of us could use 20m3D@y2Y0uG37Th3K@thh0und@nd20m3D@y2Th3K@thh0undG3t2Y0u as a password

I just kept typing, but since I had hit the limit, it cut off at the same point in both the password and the confirmation so everything was fine.

Logged in. Remembered that 3 out of 5 characters didn't have names since the first server merger. Logged out.

Yeah, same for me with the EU server merger. I think half my characters lost their names.

If they had added pulp aliens that are little more than humans with funky foreheads or antenna and pop art skin colours, I would have been more interested. Flying through space is more fun if you end up in a cantina in a hive of scum and villainy with aliens, than if you end up in a cantina in a hive of scum and villainy with just the same garden variety scumy villains you had where you started.

If there is two half lives and you own both games, do they combine into one Full Life ?

I tried Children's Capitalism Simulator. You wake up in a magical land, covered in darkness (the land, and I guess you because you are in the land). You then start helping people and saving the place with the power of friendship. One of the first people you save is the richest person in the world. From then on, whenever you try to save someone else, you end up needing to do menial work for the rich person, seeing how they have a monopoly on pretty much everything. The game is a continuous series of exploitation by the 1% hoping that through it you will be able to help the rest. Add the in app purchases and it is pure capitalism in every sense.
