Last year, we got to go to Portugal, touring the Douro valley. I loved it. I’d love to go back and hit all the museums in Lisbon we didn’t get to, and to spend many more days in Porto and the surrounding area. I got a couple books on Portuguese history that I’m hoping to get into soon, as there’s such a rollercoaster h…

I’m honestly very pleased with these selections. I’ve been wanting to play skylines for a long time, and while construction simulator is what I've had my eye on, I'll definitely take farming simulator for now. 

I’m really looking forward to it and just getting into the groove of planning and improving and side missions. 

Seize is super helpful, especially for adding a distraction in crowd control situations. Though seizing some of the more powerful hiss or the flying/invisible ones can wreck shop. Spin is definitely helpful for a long time. 

Thanks! It’s about time!

I had been anticipating a good, low key birthday, and now that I had a good, low key birthday, I’m working on figuring out the next mini event to anticipate. That really depends on how the local testing results progress over the next little while. Also, I’m supposed to get a vasectomy next weekend, and as far as I can…

Also that's my favorite article update, ever.

Ah, dang it, but at the same time, hooray for you! Remember that before you head to the next life area, go left first and get the upgrade, and then get back to exploring. See (hear?) you on the podcast!

Right now probably start by both leaving for a short while, like take a drive for an hour or something, and work that into the routine and extend those gaps longer and longer. Something like that, anyway. Maybe try to do it after a walk so they’ve burned off some energy. 

Funny you should pick routine today, as it’s back to the routine today after a day off yesterday. So, it’s up a few minutes before the alarm, let the dogs out and feed them, shower, dress, start the kettle, fire up the work laptop, make tea, log in to the virtual desktop, eat breakfast, clear out emails and check the…

Yeah, we’re already trying to think of ways of acclimating our dogs to our absence again once this lifts. They’re a bit too used to us being around all the time now. 

The Scary Door: The Game

It’s fancy and red and all kitted out. I’ll have to take out for a spin... after I find it in this 100 car garage... Wait, are these even the right keys? Did I leave the McLaren’s lights on? 

100% agree

We’ve been steadily making our way through Schitt’s Creek, which is such a delightful balm right now. Every performance on that show is a thing of beauty and they all just keep getting better.

It really sounds traumatic!

Meanwhile, AEW folks saying they want to bring back the AKI engine. If that happens (which, you know, lots of doubts), I’d suddenly be a non-Fire Pro wrestling game fan again.

Just started playing this yesterday, and tomorrow’s my birthday, and I'm a massive Mads and Hannibal fan, soooo... 

I mean, I do love grilling all sorts of veggies, but, yeah, not the same without the meat part of the BBQ experience as well.
