We survived our first pupper bath. Double coated pups take a lot of work to dry. Yeesh. Also we have a second pupper of fur in our backyard

High praise! I'll probably take a look after the semester ends.

It would be nice if facts mattered.

Like a rogue that only does what they do so they can send money home to their parents, but their parents just think they are a traveling merchant so they don't worry?

The Planetary Society: reported cuts to NASA would amount to an… The Planetary Society, the world’s largest independent space interest organization, issued a statement in response to recent reports that the White House…

There are reports The White House is considering a 50% cut to NASA’s science programs, and 25% of its overall budget, which would be catastrophic for both current and planned missions. But, there is still time for the administration to reconsider. Read our full statement ⬇️

The guy that wanted Space Force now wants to make sure we can't go to space unless the billionaires take us. Checks out.

The lack of 'A' is a killer for me. But I first saw Monster of the Week (MotW)

Mica the Pup went to Lowes today for the first time with her trainer and us. She did so well moving through a new space even though she was nervous. We are so proud of her!

I missed the boat on Wicked and Divine but I love those leather bound omnibuses so much I am on the hunt for finishing my collection slowly

I have some of the books, but haven't read them thoroughly yet. But those make sense. I didn't think about the little advancement part. I wonder if the 2e addresses that

I've only seen it played by the Streampunks and their iterations but I've loved the idea of a Star Trek game for a long time

The urge to run Star Trek Adventures using the plots from Star Trek Online but making it more RP rather than combat only solutions is very tempting.

Saw Brennan Lee Mulligan's favorite bird.

I was attempting a NMS permadeath / survival run to the center of the galaxy to get my final pathfinder trophies, but it just came to an end cause the sentinels killed me by shooting through the ground clipping to kill me without me being able to get away. Dying on a glitch sucks. Maybe next year

Zag would like you to respect his superhero journey

We can stop anytime w.....

That is a very cool mug! Awesome design and love the idea of a pigeon griffon

I have finished the main story of Eternal Strands and it was very good. I love the world building and enjoyed the wholesome NPCs (for the most part) it is a solid 30 hour game that I took 40 hours to complete. It would probably take me another 10ish hours to platinum but not sure if I will

It was a great game. I enjoyed all 120 hours or whatever I sank into it, and was so pleased about the twist. The only reason I didn't get platinum on PS5 is I can't do those different button timing games very well

'Had to be me. Someone else would have gotten wrong.'

The contemplative pupper

It was a fun game that took 8 years, with two large breaks for new parents. All of my players came to my wedding!

I love each of the story lines for different reasons.
