This is the Police is a pretty entertaining one, you manage the officers and send them out on calls. It's not quite the same tone as Brooklyn 99 though. I may have let the job of being a police chief corrupt me. It starts with a little bribe to look the other way so that your buddy can get out of debt, and it may have ended with me taking out a hit on an officer that decided to squeal to the IA.

I'm actually kind of over any fish packed in cans. I used to do tuna in water, but then I got the fresh stuff jarred and it ruined it for me.

Yeaaaaa. I'm a few weeks into teaching through Google Meets, and it's pretty much the worst experience ever. I have 30+ kids in a grid, most with the camera off, and I'm trying to figure out how to teach anything that way. It's horrible. At least I have a relationship with these kids though, I can't imagine starting a brand new year with kids I don't know and have expectations for already.

Considering that rate at which guns are stolen in the US, I'm not sure this sign will have the desired effect.

Ugh sardines. I thought I knew you people.

Gary Oldman is pretty well regarded as one of the best actors of his generation. Accolades came a bit later in life, but I'm not sure I'd call him underrated. I think Jean Reno is a big deal in France.

Yep, best to keep your space fantasy both fantastical and spacey.

Today is my daughter's 13th birthday. We live next to a parking lot, and it has been completely empty during the pandemic, so I ordered a 120 inch fabric screen for about $30. Then I put a raised frame up on the back fence, and people drove up to watch a movie that we played with a projector and a speaker system. It turned out pretty well! Drive-In Movies are coming abck in style.

Finally got around to watching the final season of Game of Thrones. I'm not really the kind of person that lets a bad episode or ending ruin a stellar show. I will definitely say there was too much sentimentality in this last season. It was a big departure from previous seasons, and I found myself checking the time left regularly. But overall I was happy to get to the end of nearly two decades of storylines in Westeros. I started with the books, but now I don't really care if he finishes it or not. The pieces are in place and I'm happy to move on with my life.

There should be a Sectoid-Muton buddy cop movie.

They are basically dogs.

Yikes Calax. It's good of you to support her in this. I hope it works out for the best.

Normal. I'm no glutton for punishment.

After struggling to be any good at Elite: Dangerous, I decided to give No Mans Sky another try, and I've been enjoying it. I don't remember if it was this good when I first played it, or I was just in the right mood, but it is a nice exploration game.

When school was put on hold, I decided to start a little RPG Maker project to teach about the next unit. It of course ended up taking way more hours than I expected to put together, and my spring break last week was consumed by the project, but I managed to finish. It's a bit loose with the historical timeline, but it's meant to be a fun diversion about the Renaissance, Reformation, and Scientific Revolution.

I wish they'd post more about the number of smokers who are heavily affected by the virus. They are quick to mention pre-existing health conditions, but it would be interesting to see what percentages of people that encountered serious problems were also vaping and smoking. I mean, lung health is a pretty big part of this whole thing. I hope those who do regularly breathe bad crap into their lungs are at least thinking twice about it now.

They treat their own with a bit more restraint. ba-dum *tsk*

Glass - Wow. I enjoyed Unbreakable when it came out 20 years ago, but I never expected it to turn into this. Split was also really good, but so very different. But the way he brought them together was just amazing. This is a seriously ambitious movie making long play. I teared up big time at the end.

This is clearly more of a fun vignette than a full campaign. Heck, it's only $10. I am sure Xcom 3 will let us get back to the soldier grindhouse that we are all used to.

Oh yeah, get your squeeze on with a viper and then lay some eggs.

It does look like the perfect VR game, given how well they've simulated being in the schlongpit.

Looks like a fun Xcom Police Squad game People are super weird.

As a state that is pretty much always blue, I typically don't worry too much about which way I vote for president. If my vote can help a 3rd party candidate that I think deserves recognition, then I will throw it their way. But Trump has been hard to watch for 4 years, and it has really been glaring during the pandemic. I don't know if Biden can win, and I'm not in love with him as a candidate, but I'd like to see him get a strong popular vote showing over the current dumpster fire administration we have in office. So yeah, one of the few years I know way in advance who I am voting for.

Do you get to walk around in X4? I thought I was going to be able to do that in Elite: Dangerous, but I'm trapped in my ship. If I land on a planet, I can use a rover, but at no point do I get to stretch my legs. Always seems to be a weird limitation. Of course, in No Man's Sky I can wander around, but I can't get into that setting at all.
