Just remembered, I stayed in Expeditioner mode and finished the Endless Tower quite easily but there are 2 extra bosses in it that are HARD!

#ClairObscur #Exp33. Getting to the end, only the 2 drafts, flying manor and the final boss to go...AND 1 MORE LOVELY FOOT. My builds are good; Lune was key early, but was overtaken by Rogue Verso and both Nuke and Pyro-phile Maelle. Sciel and Monoko got left behind. Great game, story and action.

I would read this but I have to charge my watch so it can speak to my pocket computer and put data into the ether where I can look at it later on any computer in the world...said no one in the 1980's.

#Parkrun West Stow: New local-ish trail country parkrun with good parking and facilities, small if not for the 142 first time runners today! Pretty but need to watch for trip hazards and adders. 2 laps with a slow and fast section, coupled with my very painful legs from Wednesday, I managed a 24.45.

Still in pain from tennis. I am showing how much pain to all the characters that beat me in clair obscure exp33 by creating a 'Maelle one-shots you all' build.
I giggled when the mk 1 build did 12.5 million damage to a thunder eveque.

Just played tennis for the first time in many, many years.
First sport above the waist in many, many years.
I am in pain in many, many places.

The Official Cyberpunk Trading Card Game Build Your Crew. Earn Your Legend.

Fine, the game looks ok (I quite liked Lorcana but it's too expensive), the art is nice and it's quick to play and learn. I'll put in for the starters, boosters and beta box. The thing that swung me; Richard Garfield being part of it. Love me some V:TES. www.kickstarter.com/projects/cyb...

Why an Orbán loss would be a huge win for the EU - and disastrous for Putin and MAGA It's hard to understate how much vast geopolitics hinges on an election in a country with a population of only 9.6M

This win by Peter Magyar is far better than most imagined.

Particularly because Orban conceded so quickly.

But the real question is - does he have a super-majority? Because if so... that revolutionises what he can do.

And Trump & Putin are the big losers from this. Here's why. 👇

#Parkrun: Soham. Few folks, possibly short, twisty course. Half playfield (fast green), half tarmac school grounds (slow blue) and always been a slow one for me. Today I latched onto good runners and got a course PB and 6th fastest ever: 23.29.
I will return...because I forgot my jacket.

It is if I want to actually have someone to play with. No point buying into a game you can't play.
Unless you are insinuating that WeirdCo are just in it for a cash-grab?

Agreed, I'ma brit and say cannon. But I heard the word years ago and was intrigued. It just stuck.
Could be worse, Fedex is a real word according to wordle.

I knew it from snooker. Felt smug beating a friend who ALWAYS beats me.

#cyberpunk #TCG #kickstarter is coming to an end. $18mil backed but I'm not sure if it will be popular (in my city) so possibly won't back it. Still deciding as it looks good, but expensive.
Dislike the fact they've already made it (delivery oct 2026) so are just using KS for early cash.

I just brought my summer clothes down and put my winter clothes in the loft. Then I bought a years tennis club subscription.
Tomorrow I repot my tomatoes and chilli plants.
Enjoy 6 more weeks of winter.

I have a new torch as I have been using spare bike lights for years.
I just lit up the shed.
During the day.

The edge has a 'caution: hot' warning.

Parkrun: Warmish day at Ben's yard. After 50+ runs there the field is no longer an ankle breaker and actually quite a nice run now. Ran a fast 1km, then held on and had a fast finish. 23.36 but I felt it today. Also, I run much faster on mud than track as can be seen on the map (blue = slow).

This weekend we remember a special person who died for the needs of the many, who then resurrected 2 years later because you can't keep a good Vulcan down/studio pressure.
Look I was reading science textbooks under the table in R.E. class, I don't remember everything. Happy cheap chocolate Monday.

Local bike shop (LCI) had a grand opening today, nice to see friendly faces as it's where I trained. Lots of bikes, new stuff and stock that I want! The 250cc is a 2 of a kind racer, custom frame, 90bhp, 150mph 2-stroke that runs on aviation fuel!

I'm a therapist and I endorse good food as a great way of lifting your mood. It's all about the little wins, the small pleasures and good moments.
Therapy is to unblock things, a different POV etc. But it's the work you do outside the therapy room that is the most important. Well done, keep going!

I have given up with #BloodBowl Elven Union. I am still in a league but after 3 serious attempts ending in bad luck disasters, I will have to play them stupid to enjoy them.
Elven Union are no more.
Welcome...Chaos Elves!

I still won't use fumblerooski though.

Don't know what has happened to the Bluesky algorithm recently, but my 'Discover' feed is basically 20-something thirst traps. Not much use for a 50yo asexual into wargaming.

Aldi worker to the gathering crowd outside the doors: /smug "You did remember the clocks went forward and it's 8:50?"
Me: Yes, but it's 9:50.
Worker hesitates, storms off and opens the doors.

They've probably been at work an hour longer than necessary and just realised.

#Parkrun: Return to Milton. 24.02. Started slow to see if I could speed up. Turned into a very difficult run but pushed through. No surprise as I have been sat down for 2 weeks straight. Time to start training again. How do people run at the same speed for 5km?

A local minis shop is closing down because they couldn't make the £20K/month needed to break even. Ridiculous prices hurt communities. They were knowledgeable, friendly and a hub in an area lacking in gaming infrastructure. I will be raiding their left over stock in the coming weeks.

After 15 years of my partner quoting Simon Pegg in Spaced "Babylon 5 is a big pile of shit"...They are finally watching it with me.
Pilot episode: The gathering; 1 laugh, 1 complaint about Mollari being Jewish-coded (fair, but that will change) and fell asleep. But will continue watching.
