I've had "Dress Sexy for my Funeral" by Smog stuck in my head since before I woke up fsr

I mean, it's a good song, but still.. Weird choice for an earworm, brain

First the Mercator Projection, now Cornwall

Everything I was taught in Geography was a lie

..I do just want a Lupin III game made in the style of Hitman, tbh

Basically the same, but with stealing stuff instead of killing people

Right down to the player-made contracts. "Steal these 3 people's watches, while dressed as a fuzzy mascot, equipped with only a coin and a hairpin"

Give the player style points for completing a theft perfectly, *then* dramatically whipping off their disguise in the middle of a group of guards

"It was actually me all along!!"

Then run like heck to the exit

Hitman 2 really missed a beat making the multiplayer symmetrical

Gimme one player trying to do a murder and the other player being some supersleuth detective trying to track em from the clues

"Hmmm a closet full of unconscious, naked waiter.. Any other detective would overlook this, but not I.."

And then it'd just all go Lupin III real quick

With ridiculous disguise reveals and emergent comedy chases

Omnicidal Attack Sharks are now Shyverns, if you were wondering

I can get behind dinosaurs as naked, bemuscled vaguely-therapod xenomorphs in media so long as it's like, "this is an established fantasy clade".

There needs to be a name that isn't 'dinosaurs' for it, though. One that still lets them like, exist in media alongside dragons and hypno-snakes and hellhounds and zombies

'Dyverns'

There, I fixed dinosaurs in media

Every once in a while I've gotta remind people that

Dogtato exists and is wonderful

and

This episode is queer as heck

Mmm nope heat is bad

Just stick me in a perfect vacuum

Nice and cold

Pretty messed up that all those "Don't do these Activating Things before bed!!" sleep hygiene lists don't have

"Find a Giant House Spider under one of your pillows"

Because that was *definitely* an Activating Bedtime Activity

Ughh I have a laser appointment on my face

and that thing where you sleep badly and your neck seizes up

this will make for a fun combination

Some pretty photos taken during my journey back from Lancaster last week

Be kind to your body

Those Diplomacy discounts really stack up when you're buying faction-specific techs and units off em later

I just got a letter for a doctor's appointment at

"2:30 p.m. 11am"

Uhhhh

my "played for 1.5hrs, half of that was the tutorial, so.." impression is

I love Age of Wonders 3, so I'm /okay/ with

"It's AoW3, but we went over the content replacing all the fantasy words with SF ones."

Like, it's another campaign's worth of AoW3! Cool, okay. Call a Crossbow a Las Rifle, I'm still gonna play it.

But jeez, don't get it at full-price, because it really does seem (so far) like a tiny polish and a reskin for the amount of time passed/asking price.

If you rlly like the series enough (like me), go for a copy off CDKeys or something

If you haven't played AoW3, it's gone free a couple of times now, someone's probably got a key kicking around, I recommend that

If you're running an NVidia graphics card, make sure your drivers are updated cuz of a big security hole
