The CenturyLink 911 outage was caused by a single network card sending bad packets (thread) https://twitter.com/GossiTheDog/status/1079144491238469638
Left unattended, I will find and hoard all of the shinies. Such is life.
Me: Ohhh, there’s a craft store here. I think I’ll just browse while I wait for folks to show up.

A friend of my roommate just introduced me to the Persona dance games, and apparently they're really good?
BLFC room request
I’m also looking for a room for BLFC this year, since the random number gods and goddesses chose other folks this year.
If you’re looking for friendly dragons to help fill your room for the con (and maybe hoard and protect shinies), let me know!

I didn’t get a BLFC room under my tree, so that means I’m looking for roomshare options!
Hit me up if you’ve got one and would be willing to share with a friendly noodle dragon.

(For those wondering what this is or without access to images: Tumblr’s traffic at the edge to one of their network providers fell by an apparent 50% on the day their algorithmic filters and flagging were released. Which, assuming that has a relationship to user traffic, is more of an impact than I expected.)

paws reference, mild
Person on my flight wearing a shirt that prominently says “PAWS”, and it takes me a moment to realize this is a JAWS parody shirt instead of a furry reference.

Relatedly, NORAD’s Santa tracker this year is still happening, which makes me happy.

He's making a list
He's checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is in contravention of article 4 of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679

Shoutout to Generation X, because somehow no matter how much time passes, you still have that aura of being rebellious youths, only now you have more adventures under your belt, and so many more exciting stories of your real-life derringdo to tell. You're cool kids, and I look up to you.

Pretty sure they’re using this as a marketing hook based on the book description, but said hook (if they followed through with it) is definitely to my interests.

x4, space capitalism
The space-is-boring-so-let’s-economy subgenre has always been strange to me, because there are so many interesting things to find out there even without embellishing it with science fiction. There’s even an entire nebula tour thingy for Elite, where William Shatner (!!) will narrate you on a tour of the known galaxy.
Where’s the space tourism genre of game? I waaaaant it.
x4, space capitalism
Apparently, space capitalism in _X4: Foundations_ boils down to creating the most efficient exponentiating gray goo possible and then setting it upon a hapless universe. The fact this is indistinguishable from the evil ambitions of this game’s totally-not-the-Borg faction is not lost on me.
Nor is the fact that, at the highest levels of play, this game is indistinguishable from Cookie Clicker.
Still, it’s good as a digital ant farm for adults.
