Schedule for the Week of 12/04/2023
I spent a few hours this weekend playing some Baldur’s Gate 3 and then came Sunday evening and I realized the seven other household things I needed to make progress on just did not happen… at all. Is there room in my life for a big 100+ hour RPG? It’s a really busy December over in my house, s...

Schedule for the Week of 11/27/2023
Busy time! That’s what the last few days have been. Two Thanksgiving dinners, a piano recital (not mine), and a glass blowing class! On top of that I’ve been trying to keep a head cold at bay through sheer force of will, and now I have lost the battle. Last night, though, as I was scraping mysel...

Schedule for the Week of 11/13/2023
Well, my son finally asked the question... “Can we play Satisfactory together?” It’s weird having kids that are now old enough to make some serious decisions on how they want to spend their gaming time. My kids don’t have dedicated gaming PCs and I’ve tried to avoid thinking about re-buyin...
