Not the Bs!

But when the primer comes, we see all the lines we missed. Stay in sandland just a bit longer.

Also, a pox on people that make models with lines going through fingers, rope, and hair.

Goonies II already came out in 87 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Goonies_II

My 18 year old sphynx, Hairry, had congestive heart failure last Sunday, but I got him to a vet in time for them to help. He’s doing well on medications and I get some extra time with him.

The vet was an ordeal as their initial diagnosis was lymphoma and were going to give steroids. A friend that works there offered to come in on her day off, made them wait for radiology to report back, and figured out it was heart failure. If they had given him steroids, it would probably have killed him, so I’m extra grateful she gave him some extra attention and care. He still had to stay in an oxygenated kennel for a day and a half as the meds cleared the fluid from around his heart and out of his lungs.

He only thought it was a fart. Not the first time for this error.

I thought it was a weird Sailor Moon AI image at first, but then it kept getting worse.

Christ, what’s the copay for space medicine?

This is clearly Mad Bull and is ok for children to have after takoyaki.

I enjoyed it but in spite of the action. So many life-altering injuries are healed up in days.

Gives me FF6 but with FF13 font feels in a good way.

All we need to know about Boba Fett is covered in MC Chris’s Fett’s Vette.

So there’s clothed ones and then the two humping ones right in the front and a bunch of other unclothed one everywhere, so did the clothed ones just arrive late to the orgy or what?

Really been enjoying Dark Winds.

Didn’t hit the suddenly stopped box truck on the highway. The giant pickup truck behind me did not hit me. Leaving enough space in front of me was skill, that the person behind me did as well was the luck.

Once Rita Repulsa makes it the size of a building, that when the Megazords come out.

Hobbies, sure. But specialization comes with tools and learning that generalists don’t have, couldn’t possibly afford, and would be a ridiculous amount of things to store and knowledge to remember. E.g. I don’t want to do my own dentistry and I’d prefer an expert for that. Dentistry in the US requires a whole medical degree, specialized tools, etc. I also don’t own the equipment nor have the knowledge to find and drill a well if I want to be “self sufficient”.

You don’t have to be an expert, and that can be very freeing, but we do need them and becoming an expert has opportunity costs. That doesn’t mean experts are shallow or becoming a generalist is deep or morally better nor does it mean generalists are in any way insufficient.

I play boardgames where there are enough moving parts that replacing some with software improves them tremendously. Gloomhaven and Frosthaven have a bunch of tools for them to help setup, combat, track campaigns, etc., and they help tremendously.

There is nothing like that for Shadows of Brimstone. For a lot of things, there’s just too much data. I tried to make a script that automated the travel phase after missions which was pick the size of town, determine the number of hazards based on the number of characters and size of town, pick out the hazards, and display each in turn. The amount of text in it was just too much to be worth it. But even being able to replace the scavenge deck, loot deck, and exploration tokens would free up some table space and they’re less than a dozen possible outcomes each with only a small amount of text.

I’m sure there are other popular games that would be more conducive to having complexity automated. Finding one that won’t send a cease and desist might be a challenge, though.

Heading to a burlesque festival! Looking forward to it. And when I get back, painting miniatures with friends.

The amount of math…

Respect boundaries. Even more so if you’re not a professional in how you want to help them, e.g. psychology, as you may do more harm than good.
