I went to see a local play advertised as a murder mystery which turned out to be a comedy continuously breaking the fourth wall.

Hilarity ensued when the director got murdered too and the actors went out of control 😂

“Are we allowed to improvise?”
“Why not, the director is dead” 😆

T-Rex: I just had a butter tart...

T-Rex: ...and it was REALLY good!

Dromiceiomimus: Hell yeah! That's the nature of butter tarts, T-Rex!
T-Rex: No, no, you don't understand - it was EASILY 75% better than any other butter tart I'd ever had! It had raspberries and coconut in it, and somehow - SOMEHOW - this elevated the whole deal to an entirely new level of BLISS.

Utahraptor: You sound like you're angry about it.
T-Rex: I am angry about it!!

T-Rex: Utahraptor, every NORMAL butter tart I have from now on will NEVER BE AS GOOD. This one Fancy Tart ruined me for all others, giving one moment of sublime bliss in exchange for a lifetime of small disappointments to come. NOBODY HAS WON HERE - least of all me!

Off panel: Solution is obvious: gorge yourself on Fancy Tarts until you can't stand them anymore.
T-Rex: Of course! Once again, science says I must eat butter tarts till I puke!
T-Rex: *sigh*
T-Rex: AND ONCE AGAIN I SHALL

Two nights of 3:45am alarms, blazing full moon lighting the sky like daytime and washing out the light of everything else, comet included. Then two days of post-processing battles, as comet processing is maddeningly tricky.

But I finally pulled it off: here is C/2025 A6 Lemmon. 🔭

I feared playing To the Moon: Beach Episode as the characters Kan Gao created as are close to my heart as my own family, and the Sigmund Minisodes were ominous.

My fears were proven true as In just 2.6 hours I was (again) emotionally destroyed.

Damn you, Kan 10/10 would cry again

Battlefield 6 review

Battlefield 6 is a tale as old as the FPS genre: a vapid military fable salvaged from total irrelevance by a robust but fundamentally unadventurous multiplayer.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I had a good time restoring the Roman Empire, but my poor computer could not handle the fully developed world around 1300.
By then the game was running agonizingly slow and completing it has taken me months.
The whole game probably lasted 2 years (playing on and off). Crazy but I did it 😵‍💫 (8/8)

By the end, the Roman empire had broken in three, with an Eastern empire and an Arabic Empire splitting off, and the Romans spilling into Central Asia, Tibet, Central and Eastern Europe, Scythia and central Africa.
Our combined forces were about 2 million soldiers. (7/8)

Emperor Ruhollah completed the conquest of India, making Fars the second most powerful empire in the world, after the Roman empire itself.

More than 500 kinsmen were at my beck and call and our dynasty renown score was over 1.9 million. The world was ruled by Robertines. (6/8)

Many emperors would follow and slowly restore the Roman empire's border back to when it had been at its greatest extent, under Trajan (98 - 117).
Eventually a civil war went wrong and emperor Gelduin was deposed and wandered the Earth before conquering Fars and starting a new Empire in Iran (5/8)

Becoming king at only 4 years old, amazingly Helie survived his regency period and after a glorious 74 year reign and a century of French expansion he managed to restore the Holy Roman Empire and die an Emperor. (4/8)
