Month 4 Complete! I'm still at it. I've graduated to one or two 10k runs a week too which is feeling good.

Month #4 STATS (cumulative):

- 234km ran!
- 90km walked!
- 60lbs lost!

MeatCastle GameWare @meatcastlegameware.com · Sep 8

Month 3 complete! It keeps going well. Paying attention to how my body is feeling and why has been very important for not overtraining! Focusing on how much the exercise helps me mentally is always great motivation too.

Month #3 STATS (cumulative):
- 165 km ran!
- 61 km walked!
- 50.6 lbs lost!

MeatCastle GameWare @meatcastlegameware.com · Aug 8

I'm two months in! On the bad brain days, everything feels slow - me, the fitness improvements, etc. - but on the good days, it's really revitalizing to look back and see how much ground I've covered in 60 days!

Month 2 Stats (Cumulative):

115km Ran!
32km Walked to Work!
32lbs Lost!

There are so many moments in Skinamarink that are so small by normal movie comparisons that stick out so clearly in my mind because of its super slow, trancelike nature (and the really lo-fi visuals).

MeatCastle GameWare @meatcastlegameware.com · 1d

I was hyped to see Possessor getting some love, and I am also a fellow Skinimarink sicko. I watched it alone in the dark with my phone in the other room and it put me into a void trance by the end. Great stuff n

If you are Canadian, I urge you to call your local representatives and urge them to push for their release and take whatever actions they can on their behalf. More info here (most of this I follow via IG): www.instagram.com/p/DPiH_gnjH7...

One of my local friends from here in St. John's was aboard one of these vessels and has, by all accounts I can find, now been abducted by IDF.

Around 8 Israeli naval vessels are surrounding the ships, with occupation forces destroying CCTV cameras and abducting activists.

Another war crime. Piracy. Kidnap.

Just hit credits on Hades II. Incredible game from top to bottom, and I really enjoyed seeing Supergiant tackle their first sequel. This is likely my new GOTY. I'll probably keep playing it for another month or so too just cus it's fun as hell!

Hell, let's get some trams/streetcars back in action - then we'd really be cookin' with gas!

MeatCastle GameWare @meatcastlegameware.com · 2d

St. John's is perfectly scaled for a solid public transit network too. When 90% of "town" is within 15-20 minutes at most, there's really no excuse for not having a functioning transit core that's cheap and reliable. The war is always against how it may inconvenience individual drivers, of course.

Yea, really all their music has been stellar.

This game rules. I'm not sure how known or played it is in modern circle, but this game was so killer at the time. We don't get to Hades without Bastion (that narrator! the soundtrack!).

Awesome little module! It can be run pretty quickly, but it depends on the type of players you have. I ran it for two people, and they finished in a little over two hours, but they also didn't kill the goblin or rescue everyone. They rescued one NPC, and soon after, a player died, so the surviving PC just got the hell out with the one NPC they did find. I enjoyed running it, and they seemed to enjoy playing in it, though, so it was worth it! I probably should have attacked with the goblin more to drag it on a bit and made it harder for them to escape, but I'll probably get a chance to run it for another group at a later time and make those changes.

I also got a chance to read a preview copy of Rolling Coast this morning, and this book is absolutely stacked. The kind of thing that could support years of play at the table - and such a great idea for a tiny adventure setting!

Just read a preview version of this, and it seems pretty darn cool - a pantheon of stellar gods, two monk-like classes, astrological rituals, and more. Cool to see new faiths and strange religions coming to Prospero's Dream.

I don't want either but I think if it was a forced sub (or required to get the full features), I'd honestly rather they go with AI tools that I just don't use (unless they also train off of all my stuff in the program or some extra nonsense).

Unionized workers with @kickstarterunited.org are poised to strike if the crowdfunding platform's management doesn't approve their new contract.

The union has demanded a four-day workweek, minimum living wage salaries, and protections against generative AI encroachment.

Kickstarter United workers will strike beginning October 2

Demands include enshrining the four-day, 32-hour work week in their contract.

Yea, I've decided that one has to wait at least like 2-3 months. Hades 2 is consuming my brain (and I still want to get to Baby Steps too eventually).
