Just finished the Weepstone demo, took about an hour. Definitely worth keeping an eye on. The art is every bit as lovely and nostalgic as I expected from screenshots, and my level-0 commoners had some entertaining and appropriately challenging encounters against a rust monster, some goblins and kobolds, and a mad priestess.

It will be interesting to see how much it improves when the party actually hits level 1 and gets classes.

Oh, and GOG has both Grimrock games for a pittance right now. That miiiight be my whole weekend now.

Ooh, I’m really digging the art style on Grimrock. It’s very reminiscent of the weird-looking old games, but so charming and slick about it.

Weepstone also looks fantastic, like playing an AD&D sourcebook. Will definitely be trying that demo this weekend.

I’ve never been sure what the exact distinction is between disco and funk, nor which side it falls on, but I love Walter Murphy’s “A Fifth of Beethoven”.

His parents were just massive fans of Klinger from MASH.

That’s Earth’s shtick. People think it’s pluck or determination, but no. It’s near-universal fuckability.

If Sugar Rush looked as good as it does in Wreck-It Ralph, I think it’d be a fantastic kart racer.

Also Roy from Rick and Morty. Holy shit, a game that could compress time would be fucking insane, even as mundane as it is.

If you can find all the pieces, have you heard of kintsugi?

If not, it’s a Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with gold, creating something new and beautiful out of the destruction as the cracks become gold veins running through the piece.

Maybe you could find a craftsman or at least experienced hobbyist in your area who could repair it like that?

As long as we’re mixing series here:

You uh, got an episode number for that T’Pol screencap?

One nose to rule them all

One nose to guide them

One nose to lead them all

And through the darkness fly them

In the lands of Kringle, where the Krampus lies

Bot’s broken.

Sure, just sent!

I don’t play many Android games, and enjoy even fewer, but Hoplite is great. It’s pretty simple to play but still requires some thinking, which is what I want out of a mobile game.

One of my cats has a high voice and has learned to do perfect attention-seeking sad meows when she wants attention and is too lazy to find me, and sings a loud frantic song to motivate me as I prepare food.

The other one purrs with the depth and volume of a large diesel engine, but mostly only lets out her low raspy meow to complain, which could be anything from “open the window” to “why did you stop petting me for .5 seconds?”

If I were casting voices for them in some type of Homeward Bound-type movie, they’d be Mila Kunis and Jennifer Tilly respectively.

This meeting could have been an astral projection.

Nationeering?

Trying to unstick my fingers when I’m done:

Gentlemen, this is democracy meownifest!

Can you teleport things with you? If so, use your ability to start a business importing items to Albania with nearly zero shipping costs, then invest in the local community until it’s a really nice city to teleport home to.
