Took sausages out of the freezer... best used before april 2020.

Well, it's still edible. 😅

Heh, a programme on TV that I thought was a standalone movie turned out to be a Murder She Wrote episode. I didn't remember anymore that it was part of that series.

My GitHub is full of release updates of RimWorld mods because of the impending update to 1.3. I probably should check out that game again.

The upcoming DLC is also very much in tune with the current state of affairs in the world with the Ideology expansion. Half tempted to get it, though I see plenty of idealism already IRL. ;)

Mm, what to do now.. have spent most of the day outdoors, gardening, reading, watching a programme on TV. Oh, napping is included as well. So uh.. I suppose I could game now. :P

Pfft, 7 health left... needed to drink something hoping it's a good one.. potion of -20 health.. 😞

So, are people who have ordered a Steam Deck also going to order a Stream Deck? 😜

Apparently it's a madhouse for people trying to buy the Steam Deck all at the same time, heh.

Woh, I'm glad I don't live in hilly terrain. There are gigantic floods over in the province Limburg. Already over 10k people had to evacuate. Belgium and Germany are worse off.

On the other hand, I'm probably now living in a province with the most infections. Thanks, students, for not listening to your common sense when our minister said everything was possible again. (Can somebody fire that minister already? Not the first time he did a blunder. :P)

I think we could use some good news about now.. :P

Oh, let's hope so. Lord of the Rings Online is considering improving its business model.

When the game was still subscription-based, the storyline was good and the gameplay challenging.

After the release of Mines of Moria expansion, the game became free-to-play and quality dwindled with every new expansion. Their Store was very aggressively marketed, it really got annoying. It was sad to see the decline.

I hope they manage to fix that shit and improve the storyline and quests which was my major reason to stop playing. Nobody wants to muck stables or fetch simple stuff anymore near endgame.

Huh, I just stumbled on this:
https://store.steampowered.com/steamdeck

Didn't know Valve was working on a handheld console which can be docked. (maybe same idea as the Switch there?)

It does look fairly interesting, especially if you have a large Steam library and can use this as a console.

For people who still don't have Syberia I and Syberia II, those two games can be claimed for free at https://www.gog.com now!

In my experience, those are very fine point and click adventures with great art and storytelling. I enjoyed them a lot. Just don't bother with Syberia 3...

Learning Japanese in Duolingo seems very... inefficient. It assumes you already know Hiragana while it's teaching you Hiragana. Well, I do already know Hiragana but that's besides the point. It even throws some Kanji in there, I'm not sure this is a good way of learning a new language with their own set of characters.

Whoopitydoo, we've got covid shanties now!

Subtitles are pretty good and there's hardcoded English subs. :)

I wonder how many different movies can be made of Cinderella, there doesn't seem to be any end in sight. Also, Germans sure love making fairy tale movies. They must've produced a gajillion of those by now.

Symphonia is free to claim on GOG and Itchio.. It looks like a gorgeous platformer with a music theme. The drawback seems to be that you'll either need a controller or a keyboard with a French layout. Heh, not something I see very often. :D

Oh, hey. Obsidian Mobile's now released!
https://obsidian.md/mobile

I'm going to try it out! Been waiting for this! :D

I didn't bother to watch the match last night when they went into extensions. My beauty sleep was much more important. :P

But.. I'm pretty happy to read now that Italy's the winner. Forza Italia!

Note to myself in Ascension: Don't use the Promo5 set again, unless you like absolutely random cards from any random set to appear out of those portals that can absolutely not be used properly because the synergy is lacking big-time.
We had a bit of fun figuring this out anyway. I'm pretty sure this was a gimmicky set.

It's a shame Ascension against friends has a max honor pool of 60, so the game session is fairly short compared to a singleplayer (against AI) session, where the honor pool can be up to 120. When you were just about to get a good run, the game's already over.
