Ruby Bridges spoke at our school about a decade ago. She was fantastic and it was a powerful assembly. I couldn't imagime teaching in Florida right now.

Huh, he is out there. Well good to know he's still keepin' on. He was pretty mellow the last couple years before he disappeared. I don't think we were edgy enough for him.

This might interest @Guard Dog, but it might be behind a paywall... https://theathletic.com/4339875/2023/03/24/out-of-the-park-baseball-24/ Basically, some MLB teams are using Out of the Park Baseball to test scenarios and gameplan. It also give a great backstory to the game. The World Baseball Classic was amazing, btw. The best pitcher in the world faced off against the best hitter in the world in the 9th inning with a one run lead, and struck him out to win it for Japan. You can't write it any better than that.

Yeah, I haven't really figured out what to do with this. It is easy enough for me to file in April, but I owe a tidy sum and could use the extra time to pay it off. It still feels weird not doing it by April, though.

This should be standard practice in every state.

I bought Old World and the DLC. I had played it on the gamepass awhile back and enjoyed it, so I decided to buy it. I wanted to get it on GoG, but it was only on sale on Steam, so that was a bit of a bummer.

While I loved the setting, I remember the UI being pretty bad when I played them back in the early '90s. I can't imagine they've aged well at all.

Ugh, other people? Plus I don't know how to spreadsheet. edit: I tried spreadsheeting a bit in college, but it just wasn't for me. No judgement though.

I was looking for a decent spaceship game recently. I tried to get back into No Man's Sky, Elite Dangerous, and X4 Foundations, but none of them did the trick. So I ended up playing Star Traders: Frontiers. Sure enough, that scratched the itch. It has a great balance of crew management, ship combat, planet exploration, and story.

I have mixed feelings on the whole JK Rowlings thing. I certainly don't put her on a pedestal. But at this point, the whole Harry Potter IP is way bigger than her narrow opinions. The development team that made Hogwarts Legacy certainly doesn't deserve to be condemned for her actions.

Thanks for checking in @Guard Dog and I hope your health continues to improve. I am spending the day at @Gromnir's alma matter for a field hockey tournament. It has been raining all day, but I still got a nice run in through the hills. My daughter's team is getting killed on the field though. Cal Berkeley is a beautiful campus even in the rain.

I'm currently reading Trevor Noah's biography and I'm guessing SA isn't as perfect as some people portray it here. Granted it is probably fine if you meet certain pigment criteria.

Cyberpunk is great and apparently has continued to sell well. It was just buggy when it came out.

I'm pretty excited to play Hogwarts Legacy, as a person who owns a wand purchased at Ollivanders, and visits the Universal Studios park regularly, and rewatches the movies. But I decided to wait to buy it because I'm busy right now, and after hearing about the bugs, I'm pretty happy about that. I look forward to playing it in a couple months when you two have worked out all of the bugs in the game.

The seasons are all fairly short, as are the episodes. It's easily my favorite comedy. I've rewatched quite a few seasons.

Silo was a decent book, so it will be interesting to see if they can pull the movie off. I think I lost interest in the series at some point, though. Ghosted looks fun. Citadel looks terrible. Stanley Tucci sounded bored. I'm a Virgo looks weird and will probably be the best of the bunch.

Travis Kelce hosted SNL, and he is surprisingly good. His monologue is probably the best one outside of the stand comedians that host. I was pretty surprised that a football player was so good, but I guess I shouldn't, given the amount of players that became decent actors.

Huh, The Sims is back.

I'm pretty sure you can turn the lights off. There is an app for it.

So, I'm a bit embarrassed, but I wimped out on building it and bought a Skytech prebuilt rig. Sorry. I kept trying to price out a build and always went over my budget, and I was worried about the OS situation. It did arrive on time and was nice and shiny under the Xmas tree. https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-000Z-000S1?Item=9SIA08CJJ14070&utm_medium=email&utm_source=transactional&cm_mmc=TEMC-Shipping-Tracking-Notification-USA&utm_campaign=TEMC-Shipping-Tracking-Notification-USA It was $600, which was hard to beat.

Wait, you buy console exclusive games and then throw them in the trash? That's pretty weird.

Traditionally Peter Pan had no schlong, as he was usually played by a woman.

My first Peter Pan experience was in the theatre, which sounds fancy. It was fantastic watching the actors fly around the stage. I was pretty young, but I still remember it fondly.

I've started a new game of Kingdom Come. I played it when it came out originally and enjoyed it, but now I have the DLC. I just finished Theresa's story, and boy is she a more interesting character than Henry. It's actually a bit hard to go back to playing Henry the Dolt after Theresa and her very well done prologue. By the end of her short story, she was a master locksmith, she saved a bunch of people, she had first aid skills, and took down a bunch of Cumans with her sharpshooting skills. Oh and she had a wonderful dog. I mean, Henry is fine, but he doesn't really match up. edit: doh, meant to put this in a different thread. I have no screenshots for you people.
