Oh wow pricey! Was hoping I could find them for a dollar or two. My preference is to not detroy another original just to save these. Only one of them seems to be worth anything (Gargoyle’s quest) the other two are common inexpensive games so likely not worth destroying another game of like value. Thanks for looking tho

Played several games this year I liked.

Hollow Knight with the release of Silksong I figured I should probably finally play this. Great game and deserves the praise it gets. Didn’t get anywhere near 100% completion on it but I am OK with that

Strangers of Paradise played on PS5. Once I figured out the battle mechanic I fell into a rythem with this game and really liked it. Ended up getting the platinum for it because I wanted to keep playing.

Iron Meat finally got a chance to play this. Really fun if short contra style shooter game. Ticks all the right boxes.

Lately I have been playing some classic games and getting retro achievements for them. Fun way to experience my old favorites again with new challenges. I recently played Zelda LTTP and got all the RAs for it. Some fun challenges for the game

Honorable mentions: Cyber Shadow, Firewatch, Mario & Luigi: Brothership

Try grilling it. Take your dough and use a silicone brush to cover one side with olive oil, slap it on the grill for 2-3 minutes, until the bottom is cooked and maybe starting to brown a bit. While that is happening, cover the top with OO. Once the bottom is cooked, flip the dough and add on your ingredients. Cook for maybe 5 minutes on medium to med-high heat. Until the bottom begins to char and the cheese is well melted. Serve!

Great work! When I bought my house I bought some contractor packs of outlets, covers, and light switches. I went around and replaced all of the outlets and switches in the house. Took a few days but while I was doing it I write down which outlet or switch was powered by which circuit so now I have a fairly complete map of the electrical in the house. Totally worth it IMHO

I got a Kobo about a year ago (Libra Color) it is just great. The kobo store keeps having sales on books I want for $2 so as much as I intended to use the overdrive connectivity, I just keep buying books on it!

If this article is any indication of the state of phsyical media, then I’d expect the next generation to simply not have it at all

Nintendo is already flirting with this with game carts that are just license keys to download the game.

Looks great! Awesome idea to reuse the cusions too!

Amazing album. Every track start to finish.

Have you considered trying to repair it? Darkened screen sounds like failed LED lighting strips and those can be replaced. Watch a few videos on the subject to get an idea of what you are getting into. I did it on a vizio TV and it took me about an hour all told.

I started collecting DVD/BR again a year or so ago. Streaming services are no longer worth it for me, and I like the extras that come on discs. Thirft stores are a gold mine of cheap movies anf TV shows.

Really enjoyed Seveneves. I call it a very verbose The Martian in that it is a near future thought experiment on what would happen if the moon explodes (literally the first sentence). Gets pretty deep in some of the science as NS is wont to do.

Both. I have a Kobo for when I am on the go and physical books for when I am chilling at home. I usually have a different book going for each case.

John Scalzi, been a fan for a long time.

Kind of an obscure one but among my friend group who reads we are fans of Matthew Norman. It started with We’re All Damaged which we loved. They are beach reads but consistently fun.

How is it? It is on my to buy eventually list but I haven’t even read Termination Shock yet.

I am reading The God of the Woods by Liz Moore. I am about 2/3 through and so far I am not really getting it. I don’t dislike it and it is well written but I am not entirely sure what about it is making people rate it so high.

Hey! Thanks for the tips. Since I posted that the plants have started ramping up production and I have several zucchini both harvested and growing. The plants do seem to like to make male flowers much more than female and I iwsh it were the other way around. So it goes!

Hey! Thanks for following up. I think it was the transplanting because about a week later they started sprouting newer much healthier looking leaves. one of the vines has grown about 6 feet or so and might be getting a little TOO big. The others are not quite as robust but seem to be doing OK.

No beans yet, but I do have a zucchini growing which I am pleased about! Hopefully the beans are not too far behind.

Thanks again!

Haha I am doing the same thing! First garden, I have tomatoes, zuchini, and beans and every morning I am running outside like it is Christmas. There are like 100 flowers on the zuch but so far nothing and I am like “C’MON!”

Looks like you got one tho!

I have been considering a second quest play lately. All these years I have never played the second quest.

Every so often I will fire up my copy of Mega Man 2 and run through it.
