Day 5: The end of the time before a beginning

I left the last bits of my sanity at the border of New York and Massachusetts strewn like seeds from a very troubled pine cone. From this loss the fully bloomed insanity has born a need to share it’s musings. The fruit of the idea is this: everyone should drive from one coast of America…
Day 4: No, It’s Insane NOT To Drive This Much

Holy crap Day 4! If you’re still reading this I want you to know I’m equally as aware in the drop in quality and it’s only because ChatGPT’s new model is really lacking. We started off in Rockford, Illinois, on time and ready to get this last leg out of the way. This was another…
Day 3: Appreciation to Eisenhower

We find ourselves on day three of our journey with spirits (mostly) high and cats (mostly) calm. We slept better going into the day which my wife has told me is further proof that queen beds are big enough, we had slept in a king bed the night before. I passionately responded to her that…
Glacier but not Glacial: Day 2!

WARNING! The following paragraph contains adult language I forgot to mention when writing the report from yesterday that my wife, both cats, and a single deer that lives in northwest Montana owe their lives to me. It was late in the evening, to the point that the sunglasses had come off but the sun still…
The Cross Country Road Trip. Day 1!

It pains me deeply to admit that I was sad leaving Oregon. Not that there is anything wrong with enjoying a place and then feeling the loss when leaving. My frustration comes from the fact that despite my best efforts I had developed an emotional connection not only with the far too rural for my…
Arcane: A Masterclass Carried by Its Stellar Look and Compelling Characters Having finished watching all episodes of Arcane, I can confidently recommend it to anyone looking for a top-tier fantasy series. While it’s based on the hit game League of Legends, no previous knowledge is needed to enjoy it. Created by the French animation studio…
Step 1 of The Disneyfication of My Mind (Snow White)

This is the first in a series of blog posts I’m going to write as Steph and I have decided to make our way through the entire animated Disney catalog. This will include Pixar and hopefully we’ll get through it before Disney decides to buy out an entire other animated studio. I haven’t fully figured…
How Insurance Will Work in Star Citizen and the Lawless System Problem

During day two of CitizenCon 2024 Rich Tyrer got up on stage and laid out how insurance was going to work. This was something that community has speculate on for years and no have a more concrete understanding even if there are still holes in the explanation of how it will work. I’ve written out…
How Star Citizen Crafting will work (for now)

During the presentation they showed that you are able to craft almost anything in the game from weapons to armor to food to structures to ship components to ships. All of these, at a basic level, use the same process. First we have to explain the pieces Materials Blueprints Refined Materials Making an item Now,…
Baldur’s Gate 3 Good

Something is entrancing about seeing a skill performed at a peak level. Neil Peart on the drums; Dave Grohl on… pretty much any instrument; Stephanie dancing. There comes a point where the appreciation is multiplied due to the appreciation of the skill and the mastery taking place simultaneously. This same appreciation can extend into works…
