People around here seem to like cats a lot. (can't blame them)

They also seem to like bread a lot. (can't blame them there either)

Do they also know of the comic Cat Loaf Adventures? (ridiculously enjoyable!)

*Wipes kitty hair off face* So, that was a cuddle. He can continue sleeping in peace now. :P

I've assessed the 'storm damage' in my garden and straightened up a lot of patio furniture, the organic trashbin, and a broom.

2020, never forget! :P

I'm at that phase in this (yet another) side project where I'm using Krita to make graphic assets instead of GIMP

GIMP has gotten better. Lots better. But it's probably not a good sign when younger programs leave you in the dust in the UX department

"More powerful" is relative and, ultimately, your ability to use it comfortably for days on end matters

@trinsec You mean with risotto-kind of rice? Agree, it makes it all squishy squashy. Paella should use some more neatly separated rice type

Paella really shouldn't be made with risotto.

Seriously. ๐Ÿ˜’

Whew, convinced mom to let me add another clove of garlic. So I sought out the biggest and fattest clove I could find. Just one ain't enough!

To be fair, I've brought over a bunch of classics as well.

Willow, The Labyrinth, Groundhog Day, and The Man Who Knew Too Little.

I've brought over The Hogfather DVDs to my parents. We might be watching that this evening. :P

I gave Kards - The WWII Card Game a try. I managed to unlock all the starter decks (as Germany) so I could see what the setup of the game was like; Free-to-play card battle game where you can spend real coin (and limited in-game gold) for new packs.

Likely you'll have to spend real moneys in order to advance after a certain point, I've seen that a bit too often in other free-to-play games. (Stormbound comes to mind.. gods that game was FUN but you'd need to pay a LOT to advance!)

The trouble with those free-to-play games is that they usually ask way too much for the experience. Additionally, the gameplay of this game is pretty yawn-worthy so it isn't even remotely worth contemplating spending money on.

The theme's nice, graphics are nice, but the actual gameplay is so. boring. Guess that's why they're temporarily offering the Starter Pack DLC with a 100% discount. At least you can try this for free.

Bluh, I'm pretty much underwhelmed. Steam didn't do anything except recycle its cards and badges from last year and with even less effort. ๐Ÿ˜’

Apparently the theme is 'birds' (seeing their animated sticker freebies), but you wouldn't have guessed that at all from looking at their front page.

The only things they bothered with is adding stuff that can be bought via their points store. Some of those are useful, but I really hoped for some fun meta game event or something to interact with.

Game giveaway Brigador: Up-Armored Deluxe on GOG.
Looks like it involves lots of mechs and pewpews and badabooms.

Every time SolarWinds is mentioned, I get reminded of the old DOS RPG space game Solar Winds which was released in 1993. It was a fun game and a fresh genre to me back then.

I hope Steam will have some cool meta game event going this winter sale, which is supposed to start this evening. Some of the events in the past were kind of amusing, and it's something to waste time on.

My favorite roguelike might be ADOM, I've played it before it even hit Steam, a really long time ago in all its ASCII glory. :) Heck I still switch to ASCII-mode when I go play it, I'm just used to that and it's faster for me to process! :D

But I've also tried out others like Cogmind and Caves of Qud and a bunch more. I think I'd play Cogmind a lot more if it could be scaled better. Caves of Qud I still need to delve into deeper, but I did have some fun roaming around and getting into deep caves (and ultimately get killed).
A non-Steam one I like is Elona, it is a very quirky originally-Japanese RPG-roguelike hybrid. Can recommend Elona+ if you want to give it a go, it's free to download and play.

Card battle games, my favorite is probably Slay the Spire (Which I consider a Roguelike Card Game) and Star Realms, but there are other close contenders. Recently I got into Ascension again and am playing the heck out of that one now. System Crash is a hidden gem that I acquired recently and still need to get into.

Since Slay the Spire entered the gaming world, more card battle games in that style are popping up. Blood Card and Fate Hunters come to mind. They're pretty decent, but not as smooth yet as StS, but I had some fun playing them.

But besides those, I can also enjoy Magic the Gathering, or simpler card games like Crunch Time!, and Love Letters. On my phone I play Hot Death Uno, but also Klaverjassen and Cribbage. Really, almost anything goes. :D

Monster Train happens to be in my wishlist. 100% Orange Juice I've played a few times, it's a funny board/card game, but it's not luring me in enough to really play it. I should give it a spin again sometime.

Videocalled with a buddy for almost 6 hours using sign language. Talked about every topic imaginable. Ended up cutting off the conversation after 3:00 in the night because, well.. it's fucking late.

Excuse me while I'm going to be a zombie for the rest of the day.

I saw a 'how do ..... people shower?' the other day, and remembered that I made this little piece of art four years ago when it was a meme-hype on Imgur. Enjoy! ;)

Cute, got a little Xmas gift from my job. A seasonal memory game with pictures of the Dutch Sign Language. I quite like the artwork! ๐Ÿ˜Š
