I am back home again, after a good week of climbing in Squamish. Due to weather and scheduling issues, I ended up climbing 6 days in a row, and was very tired by the end of it. Luckily, it actually rained on day 7, so we saw spawning and dead salmon, packed up, relaxed, drove back to Vancouver, and had good sushi.

Witchy Woman

My daughter is whole! She has not succumbed to peer pressure, at least not in the way the strip suggests. She is no doubt subject to it on some wavelength my calcified brain can't even perceive, but she doesn't have a Hades II style ghost arm and I don't believe she is learning witchcraft at the foot of Hecate, patroness of witches. I feel like there would be signs. And potentially wonders. Maybe even both.

I enjoy a number of genres (extraction shooters, for one example) that my particular friend group just doesn’t seem to have any interest in. But I find that any desire to have a go-to group to play these games with is dwarfed by a lack of the emotional energy and time required to forge a […]

My mom was really late coming home from work once, and cellular phones cost around ten thousand dollars adjusted for inflation then so I couldn't call or text her. It was my presumption that she had been Raptured and that I had been found wanting. Like, first thought.

New Games I'm Playing

My friends Jerry and Ryan both told me that Borderlands 4 is cool and fun once you get far enough into the game. Like the comic suggests, I bounced right off the intro. I kept getting shitty sub machine guns while running through featureless grey rooms. Eventually I got to a shack and that’s when Claptrap started talking and I had to stop.  It’s possible it gets good but I’m just not wired to chew through the bad bits to get to the good stuff.

 

Borderline

Lego Voyagers is great.  I heard it was three or so hours total, but I clocked in at just about five.  Some of the coolest parts of it were not "gameplay" but just being there in the world.  It's very impressionistic; there are actual lego pieces that look like scorpions, or fish, but Light Brick would rather evoke them with even simpler shapes.  It also made my computer run so hot that it shut completely off and wouldn't turn back on.  And that made me think about Borderlands.

 

The Most Explosive Man In The World

I’ve probably died more to my own grenades than anything else in Borderlands 4. I prefer a Jakobs crit knife when I can find a good one, but I definitely cannot be trusted with the more explosive variety. And MIRVs, forget about it. It’s a good thing there’s no friendly fire in coop, or I’d […]

Then on to Squamish.

I'm not making nearly as many of these posts any more. :(

This trip is climbing, to nobody's shock or surprise.
