Yep, Scalzi does use some colorful language. Part of what gives his books their charm! 😀
Yeah, Star Wars reviews are all over the map. That’s not even taking into account the changes made with each subsequent release. Han shot first!
Then there’s the debate whether or not Star Wars is science fiction or space opera. Space opera is a subgenre of science fiction so it’s actually both. One could argue that it’s more of a fantasy film, though, as it takes place in an area where Earth doesn’t exist.
Ooh, the art style reminds me of Battle for Wesnoth. Really wish I could get a good tabletop RPG group going. Each time I try, the other folks just stop showing up after a session or two without explanation. /shrug
Always sad to see a tree get hit hard. 🙁
Been getting a ton of storms over here. With the heat, though, the water has been evaporating faster than it can fill up the reservoirs so the water level isn’t too high.
Also just noticed the other day that NMS quotes John Scalzi when you die. Never noticed before!
An old classic:
Even though NMS keeps receiving ongoing support, I really wouldn’t mind if it got paid updates if it meant even bigger and better updates.
Not sure how RT works but I think it mostly pulls from older reviews so it can be a bit problematic when sentiments change.
Saw Death Race 2000 finally and it was fun. Weird film but fun 😛
Didn’t Egghead make a “die laughing” joke in that episode? I think so 😛
Change of plans! Crystal Wing is staying in the Blackwing deck! Was about to be backed in a corner yesterday so I used Small World to swap some cards out that ultimately let me bring out Crystal Wing, letting me clench the game. Still perfecting this deck but we’re getting closer!
These days, the materials have advanced enough where you don’t really need to do that anymore. I have some old sleeves lying around that stick together a lot so they’re definitely on the replacement list. Been slowly cannibalizing the cards from that old deck for new stuff. Who knew cards themselves got hungry 😛
Sounds good. Will look into adding some information on fan formats. 🙂
One thing that’s missing is a list of cards from each major fan format. May have missed it, though. Would be very nice to have to keep from having to look stuff up meticuously.
Haven’t run across that one before! I do have fond memories of playing some old ones on Kongregate years ago back before the site was partially killed off. Will take a closer look at it!
Wiki’s got a pretty extensive list of some card games that are lesser known in the West, along with historical games.
Can those be used in Windows without an additional interpreter? That was the nice thing about VB script: it could be used right out of the box.
Yeah, sad about the forums. Reminds me of GHF, to be honest: folks just drifted away over time.
Ugh!
Yeah, hate it when things like that happen. Very annoying!
Was reminded of pandoc the other day. Very useful little program for converting file types. So you could easily turn a Markdown file into a nicely printable PDF or even a PDF into an editable .doc. I used it to convert API documentation into a PDF so that I could print it out and stick it in a notebook for ease of browsing 🙂
Thanks to the llamas, everything should be back to normal. Please give a holler if anything else is out of whack, save for the ongoing theme work. Well, you could holler about that but it is ongoing so it’s a good way to get a sore throat. Also, you may want to holler if you find yourself suddenly without a parachute while falling over the Pacific Ocean. Probably a good idea.
If it was twenty-feet, it’d be a moon-ful of lasagna! 😀
The ad does read as though they may be having issues getting the licensing agreement worked out, which is interesting. They don’t usually advertise products like that unless they know the paperwork is all figured out.
Cool! Never played Doom myself. Though, I did used to play a lot of Quake and Unreal Tournament at LAN parties. That was a lot of fun. Really miss yelling across the room at the guy when I got shot. 😛 See what we lose by going remote only!
Been reading John Scalzi’s books and they’re a lot of fun. Essentially, they’re science fiction with a humorous twist and a lot of pop culture references. The Collapsing Empire, for instance, had a starship that was named “Our Princess is in another Castle” for example. He also has a book that satirizes the redshirts from Star Trek. Got that one on the waiting list!
Gorky Park is a classic! Still haven’t read the book, though. 🙁 I really need to change that
Watched High Spirits again yesterday and it’s always a lot fun. Really don’t understand the 31% RT rating. It’s a good romp with a lot of actors just entering their careers with a few well-known names.

That would require a lot of lasagna to maintain 😛
That is nice!
My dad uses colorful, spotted toadstools for his incense. He usually picks them up at the art festivals so I may try looking there when we get one 🙂
Yeah, it’s really quite cool to see things as he intended them to look. I do remember that some of the descriptions were kind of vague. 🙂 I wonder if there are illustrations of Mordor in there? Always had an issue visualizing that locale in particular!
I try to! Lately, though, I’ve been having to focus on the studies that are of particular interest since it takes me so long to read an entire issue and I’m already months behind 😛
I’ve developed bad erosion around the driveway so I’m looking at putting in some ground cover to shore things up. Something from this list is probably the way to go. In particular, Mimosa strigillosa looks like a good option. 🙂
I bring you snowmen! 😀
No screw on top. Supposedly, there’s a locking peg in them but I haven’t managed to get the peg working. May have something to do with how the gaskets are aligned. Will need to take a good look at them 🙂
Going to use them for spices! 😀
They are making some progress with inertial containment but I haven’t gotten there yet
If it’s Homer, then there’s probably booze around! 😛
Yeah, it’s a completely different design! Much more pleasing to the eyes in the lab! Haven’t read much on them yet but I’ll get there!
Looks like TerraCycle has something but they don’t specify if it’s for natural, synthetic, or both. Probably need to reach out to them about that 🙂
What kind of holder do you use? Have had some trouble finding one I like locally. We do have a couple shops that may have them but they’re a little difficult to access without proper transportation so I may need to order them.
That’s going to be a heck of a picnic! The ants will be most pleased! 😀
Just came across this: https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-Illustrated-J-R-R-Tolkien/dp/0358653037?ref=dlx_deals_dg_dcl_0358653037_mw_sl14_72
Absolutely stunning!
Whelp, Blackwings can’t use Crystal Wing effectively like I initially thought: the opening cards lock you in to Dark creatures while Crystal Wing is a Wind creature. Subbed it in anyways as I can still use it if I can’t get the appropriate combo off. Still, I’ll go back to trawling through the card database for a better option.
Also, I clean forgot about the links. Will try to fix that!
Been meaning to ask this for quite some time but better late than never!
I have some worn out socks that are a mixture of synthetic and natural material. Can these be recycled at all or do they just need to be thrown out? I know that, with a uniform material make, there are outfits that will break them down and reuse the resources but having a mixture may make it more trouble than it’s worth for the centers
Yep, can see where it would be a good name for a Western. Recently got confused by Apple’s new series Dark Matter due to SyFy having an older space opera show by that name (which was great!) 😛
Started watching Andy Sidaris’s films the other day and they’re a lot of fun if you like cheesy action flicks (I do!).
Lorcana doesn’t seem to have an official card database but I’ll investigate the third-party ones so I can get some information added
Additionally, I’m thinking it may be helpful to add some information on some of the more popular fan formats for some of the games listed in the opening post. Thoughts?
