My favorite coffee mug. It was a wide mug good for cappuccinos. I got it from a previous job almost 10 years ago.

It might have been fixable, but I now have an excuse to actually buy a mug next time I see a fun one.

I played a couple Illuminate missions today. It was fun. Both new enemies can be killed with light pen. The Bullet Storm helped a lot. The big guys provide a good use case for Lure Mines.

I split off to take out a small base. I ended up crouch sneaking most of the way back to avoid the patrols. At one point I was sneaking down a street and saw a handful of Wretch were skulking down the opposite side. I tossed a turret their way. It distracted them long enough for me to rejoin the squad.

Not sure how I feel about the extra SEAF troops. There are a lot now and new ones get dropped off every couple minutes. They were helping, but mostly as an enemy distraction.

Then stop fighting Terminids /s

It’s a little glitchy at times, but I haven’t noticed any major issues since the “terminal stuck in the ground” bug.

My characters arm still occasionally goes stiff on the ship. Some enemies might spaghettify to 100 feet tall. But that’s just the beauty of Super Earth engineering.

Fun fact: Tempe is named after The Vale of Tempe in Greece.

I visited Culdesac last year to see CityNerd and Urban Phoenix Project talk about urban development. It’s a neat place. If it existed 10 years ago I would have liked to live there. Going car free in Phoenix is definitely a challenge but I’m glad some people are willing to try it.

Same. I got a Hario Switch for Christmas and it’s replaced the AeroPress as my daily driver.

The common excuse is that the higher powered heroes are busy “off world” or elsewhere dealing with a similar threat.

They’re actually more resistant to sun as long as it’s “a dry heat”.

Sounds like it will be competing with https://www.gaia.com/ . One time I met a girl at a bar and she told me I needed to watch some videos there to know the real her. I managed to watch a whole episode about the hollow moon. The next episode started talking about the lizard people that came to earth thousands of years ago. I decided I wasn’t bored or horny enough to continue.

Congratulations. 1 accidental friendly fire is within acceptable parameters.

And an extensive military career as a highly trained operative in every private and government special program.

One of the Shadowrun 6e source books has an actual Clippy style book called Grimmy the Grimiore. It’s awful.

Marten is the same. Liz hasn’t been around that long.

It’s a banger though, as long as everyone in the bar is over 35.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this at a dueling piano bar. The crowd was into it.

I would be so hyped that someone is playing The Mountain Goats in public I would probably join in.

Cool. Beekeeper is a ridiculous movie and it fully commits to the Beekeeper bit. I only wish there had been more actual bees.

The intro is catchy. It pops in my head occasionally but I never remember the rest of the song.

Earl Had To Die seems to pop into my head every few months for the past 15 years. “… Well it turns out he was a missing person who nobody missed at all.” https://youtu.be/Gw7gNf_9njs

The Monk and Robot series. Takes place in a postindustrial eco conscious society. A young monk decides to become a traveling tea maker (an actual profession, sort of a casual therapist).

Eventually they meet a robot that wants to learn about humans.

The rogue I DM always asks where the brothel is. I just make up names and charge him gold for the stay.

While on the road the party stopped at a tavern in a small town. It was run by two sisters that were very friendly with the rogue and the paladin. The sisters led them downstairs and into their respective rooms. When their backs were turned the doppelgangers attacked!

The paladin’s steed sensed he was in trouble and burst in the tavern and hoofed it to the cellar. The monk and wizard realized what was happening and begrudgingly put down their drinks to go help.
