Need to unbox my PC, and Civ 7 comes out Tuesday, but I'm thinking that when I get back into #Starfield, I might make characters based on the 7 deadly sins.

Finally deactivated my Twitter. The place was always a disgusting cesspool, but getting pushed notifications for pages sharing videos of people dying is the final straw.

Started my first game of Stardew Valley last night. I'm enjoying it. I wish I could find a more urban game with similar mechanics though.

I fear China far less than American tech bro capitalists.

Did the ants infesting the Frontier become Starborn? #Starfield

They are announcing plans for expansion content for Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines 2. That would have been a great Hard Drive headline, since everyone knows the game is never really going to be released.

I listened for 6,149 minutes in 2024. What about you? #SpotifyWrapped

A frustrating bug in Starfield might make me lose over an hour of playtime on the obscenely difficult Sam Coe mission.

Taking a step back and reinstalled Baldur's Gate 3. Playing as a halfling cleric.

Just a friendly reminder that you don’t actually have to be good at video games to be able to justify enjoying them. 🕹️🎮

Fun skill Bluesky taught me. I have no obligation to respond to crappy people on social media. Facebook is still where my friends and family are, but I can simply block right wing turds who respond (I'll still debate with more polite conservatives).

Unpopular Buffy opinion. Xander should have died when Caleb attacked him. The show, and definitely the comics covering seasons 8-12, had no idea what to do with him after this point. The lack of the Scoobies' heart would have made the next two episodes far more poignant.

I have to be in the right mood for it, but the exploration tasks in Starfield are more fun than they get credit for. Playing with the pilgrim background and don't think the other four faction questlines will work for my character in their run. Will save that stuff for later.

Just finished reading Bored Gay Werewolf by Tony Santorella. It was really good.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, now more than ever, we need to honour & remember those that came before us who we’ve lost to anti-trans hatred & violence.

Here’s a list of people just from the US this year alone, though likely incomplete.

Their losses will not be in vain!

Hate will not win!
Here are the 28 transgender Americans lost to violence so far this year
The epidemic of fatal violence against trans people in the U.S. continues.

Political hot take. America needs a third legislative body, equal in size to the combined House and Senate, but chosen purely by sortition. Two random people from each state, and one from each House district. The body wouldn't write legislation, but would vote to approve it.

Started a new game of Starfield. Playing as a Universal pilgrim. I still haven't played the Shattered Space content due to the high level recommendation.

Second Starfield post. I have to wonder if Bethesda has some Unitarian Universalist writers. Both The Enlightened and Universals are basically UUs, albeit the different wings of the faith. And the church in Fallout 4's Diamond City is basically UU, which makes sense, being Boston.

For my first post, I will say something that would get me instantly canceled on Twitter.

Starfield is good. I've spent hundreds of hours playing it and still have fun.
