Steam World: Heist. Tactical turn based shooter. Somewhere between Worms and X-Com, definitely on the lighter side. It's the same vibe as Steam World 1 and 2, but now the cowboy robots are in space. It's perfect for the Deck and easy to pick up for a few minutes at lunch or in between meetings.

It's both. In episode 1 someone asks the cowboy actor to "do the thumbs up". Later, the actor explains the mushroom safety part to his daughter. In episode 3 there is another flashback where the cowboy actor does a photoshoot for Vault-Tec. He asks the photographer "what if I try a thumbs up?"

A medium roast from Costa Rica. I'm using my small Chemex and I'm still dialing in the grind size. It's brewing faster than a few weeks ago so I went finer. It's at about a 3 minute brew, but still has a light mix of sour and bitterness.

I'm behind on using my subscription coffee so I started a batch of cold brew last night with the last 75 grams. Hopefully it turns out well.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. It felt like mostly nothing happened for 2 hours. There was some decent dialogue and a lot of references to 1950s and 60s Hollywood. There is some build up, but not much payoff until the last 20 minutes. Then everything goes off and you are reminded that this is a Tarantino film.

Because I came here for school and didn't want to go back to the Midwest. Though, 110+ is a ridiculous temperature to endure.

Because even John Cena is reluctant to dress like John Cena. The only real answer is "because that is the expected formal wear in our society".

That's the point, right? At best this will shut down some poorly written legislation. If it doesn't, and the law gets changed to be explicitly Christian, then at least it's out in the open and no one can claim it's about protecting ALL religions.

I loved the first two, but I had a hard time getting through the third. It has interesting concepts but it takes a long time to make its point. Plot structure spoilers:

SpoilerThe main reveal should have happened half way through, not at the end.

Apologies for mobile formatting

Vindictus? https://vindictus.nexon.net

I played it for a while maybe 10 years ago. I liked the combat physics because you could throw rocks and stuff at the enemies and tie them down with grappling hooks. I don't know what engine it uses

I have a similar experience when I'm sick. I usually feel more calm and it seems easier to cook or read.

The Children of Time books by Adrian Tchaikovsky have a lot of those themes. Half of the first book is about an ark ship sent out to find a habitable planet because earth is dying. It spans hundreds of years as key crew members go in and out of hyper sleep. Relationships and political factions form and dissolve as the ageing ship continues its mission to find a new home.

The second book focuses on a terraforming crew that was sent to another star system to prepare a planet for humans. However, the planet's ecology is so alien it proves very difficult to gain a foothold.
