Megaquarium is good. Peaceful managing with pretty fish. I need that kinda friendly chill game a lot right now.

(Some fish are jerks, but it just means you gotta be careful where you put them)

Started on painting the Dominion expansion for Star Trek: Fleet Captains this week.

So here is a lil Jem'hadar ship

Waking up to find your government throw their full weight behind transphobia is always, yknow.

Not fun. That other thing.

This year feels like it has mostly been spent watching lots of wrestling

It good? Like, I never got into it when I was younger, got into Chikara a few years back, which was fun indie stuff (now gone, owner was awful). Been watching AEW since a partner introduced me to it.

AEW Dark (freebie Youtube weekly show) is really good! Like, goofy indie-vibe stuff with lots of high-flyers is my thing way more than growly musclemen, and Dark is way more that-kinda-thing than their main TV show (Dynamite).

Happily surprised that the one I look forward to every week is free on Youtube.

Today I stumbled upon the realisation that Jojo's Bizarre Adventure has the plot and themes of a Cardassian repetitive epic, and now I want to see this so very badly

flop

I was worried it would just be a nostalgia trip, but instead it uses the period & the context as incredible framing to enable some incredible storytelling techniques

in part because what it simulates is corporate-space artificiality, the arbitrary mechanical rules and the forced detachment, so those aspects of gameplay enhance the immersion rather than damaging it

also playing with the detached-observer perspective, the mindset it pushes you into and all its contradictions

Domesticated Species:

Brown Rat -> Fancy Rat
House Mouse -> Fancy Mouse
Rock Dove -> Fancy Pigeon
(Prehistoric) Wolf -> Dog

Nononono

(Prehistoric) Wolf -> Fancy Wolf

Perfect

👏

When they said it takes a bit of brute force, they weren't kidding
