Day 2: Prior to deployment, I called my nearest enlistment office to inquire about the yard front.

I was told that supply drops would be provided, but that the act of de-weeding would be left in my "capable" hands.

This wouldn't be tough, I thought. I was so wrong.

Day 1: I'd dodged the draft. Neighbors received their papers last week. I was spared. But, today, there was a notice on my door.

Reason for HOA citation: "invasive weeds present in front yard". I'd discover that my deployment would be far longer than I ever imagined.

Another No Budget Summer Film Workshop wrapped up. These kids always blow me away.

Kids were shown local artists' work and went out and adapted into an experimental short film.

Screening at the Southerly 1007 Ave B, Opelika, AL tonight at 7:00.

No, not yet, but it's on my Wishlist. Since scrapping my PC for a Mac to "focus on creative work and not games," my Deck is my primary source for PC games. So, I tend to be a pretty in-the-weeds Deck tweaker.

Ha! Small world. I'm an hour in and it's so captivating. Plays a little wonky on Steam Deck, but I can't tell what's potential issue and what's intentional, haha.

Hope Deferred on Steam Hope Deferred is a first-person psychological horror RPG. Explore nightmare worlds and search for understanding in this PSX inspired dungeon crawler.

@ragnarrox.bsky.social huge fan, longtime viewer.

A good friend shared this gem with me today and it seems as if no one is covering it. Think King's Field meets Cruelty Squad, add horror and religion.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Recently had the privilege of writing a piece for PlayStation 3 Forever, a great independent retro games e-magazine. Enjoyed the excuse to research and discuss one of my favorite game studios. Give it a read, if you have interest in some of the weirder Sony back catalog.
