Snobby foodie, excessive encourager, hopelessly hopeful.
Dream scenario. The UK makes Rockstar pay 100x the salaries to the people they fired in their obvious attempt to union bust.

The UK has the opportunity to set a new precedent very publicly for workers rights.

I know they won't but hey, we can dream.

Today I learned that Xanathar is not the name of a beholder, but a title passed down from guildmaster to guildmaster of a criminal syndicate in Waterdeep.

An interlude before I move onto other Ultima games.

My first blobber was Shining in the Darkness on the Genesis. I was never a fan until last year when I picked up Legend of Gtimrock 2.

The ending of this game and the joy of mapping it myself were perfect.

An absolute treat to add on my shelf.

I think that the old PC games based off of DND 2nd edition have never quite been matched in regards to the excitement I feel when finding a new magic item. "+3 mace?! HELL YEAH"

Which is really weird because newer games like BG3 and NWN had much more interesting and varied magic items.

Why did I become good at something I really hate doing?

Keeping all those boxes from the 90s would have saved me some money today.... BG collection completed!

Crossing beating Kingsfield (JP1) off the bucket list of video games. That was not nearly as obtuse or difficult as I had always thought it would be. Simple, atmospheric 3d free form dungeon crawling goodness.

I've discovered a new level of sicko within myself. Loaded up Kingsfield (JP1) last night and I love this shit.

These off year elections are depressingly low attendance at my polling place. Literally the only person there this morning besides the poll workers.

Man, you could really tell EA was meddling hard in this afternoon they took over.

This should have been two whole games.

Collecting the teeth of a god serpent and inserting them into its severed jaw bone for fast travel is metal as hell.

Maybe time for an Ultima break before moving on.

And now the Ultima II recreation.

Minax has destroyed the future of Earth to avenge Mondain, can you find her stronghold and set things right?

You must find Father Antos, and defeat such fiends like the KGB, and the Jesters of Uranus before you'll be ready to face her.

Ultima I recreation arrived today. The beginning of my series play through. I am the Space Ace that destroyed Mondain!

If i had the Underworld games when they first came out my mind would have been absolutely blown.

I also would have been too dumb to ever beat them.

The creativity in 2 was stellar and despite some segments being a slog I was just waiting everyday to finish work so I could play more.

What does a Eleomosynator do? We've been waiting 32 years to find out!

I lost because my trampler was one turn late. And I should've saved mana to eat one more food.

A short time back on Earth, over a century in Brittania. The Avatar battles relevancy, and a new sinister force... The Guardian!

The simulation steps up yet again taking the immersion even higher. Stumbles in combat control aside, yet another classic I'm happy to have played.

Look at that box!

Birthday donuts, birthday gift, birthday pumpkins, birthday ren Faire tickets, birthday sushi and pumpkin roll later today.

I love her so much, always wish I could do more for her on every birthday.

When I'm old enough to look like a liche I'm going to trap my house and put random loot piles like this around.

If i have to cancel my chicago trip I'm sending a bill for any costs I can't recoup to the Whitehouse.

I need to hire a marketing department for every person on my team to have their messages reviewed before posting to make sure they don't sound like everything is fucking catastrophic.
