You don't have to be sorry. GET THAT REST

If I had to sum up my experience so far with KCD2: Refreshing. Tired of the guns and fantastical ability play cycle. My character is filthy and people hate me. In the beginning, I feel like a peasant in 15th century Bohemia. It's amazing.

Never heard of it.

Bookshelf coming together!

It's cold outside and snowy, too! Is climate change a hoax?

Not at all. Winter still brings cold weather even as the planet warms.

In fact, warmer oceans + a rapidly warming Arctic can even increase the intensity of winter storms and heavy snowfall.

That's why I call it Global Weirding!

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

I am a climate scientist and this is correct.

As the planet warms, storms like the one today are getting stronger… and as the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the mid latitudes, it increases the risk of the “freezer door” swinging open.

Interesting... @yarden.bsky.social

It's a huge fan of you too ❤️

I am a huge fan of this podcast.

2.5 hours into Dragon Quest VII Reimagined demo and it's just perfect on Steamdeck. Parking this one early because I KNOW I'll be so into it later.

🧵Completed Games of 2026 🧵

#1: Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun

As my good friend @ryanturford.bsky.social would say, this game was Fine and Fun.

Just over-the-top violent. Absolutely ridiculous brutality. Old school vibes, of course. Wish Horde Mode was multiplayer.

Pretty good start to the year.

Got Ubisoft Connect App running as a steam game. I can directly launch it from Steam OS running on Proton 9. Threw in AC Rogue and it plays perfectly on Steamdeck. Perfect 60 fps easily and the fan is not even going. What a great experience.
