Indie game developers and small studios/publishers: Hope to get a bunch of you involved in the 9th Annual Cringey Awards. We aren't The Game Awards but it's a good time and a great way to share your game. (Actually we are better because we like indies and small studios.) Read more below.

I had to get name brand egg whites yesterday. Can you imagine, name brand egg white? Why have the store brand egg whites been out for 4 days now? Anyway, breakfast was egg whites and cottage cheese once again. Oh and I did eat 5 tasty almonds and 1 dill-jalapeno potato chip. 🤨

The STAND UP TO CANCER moment during game 4 of the World Series tonight was seriously a great moment. If that has been done before I have missed it. That whole stadium holding up signs of those close to them that have been lost or survived cancer. Some people with multiple signs. 💙

Someone in Discord asked why the Lions finished the game the way they did. I explained it in this perfectly accurate way: The Lions did what they did to mock the Packers years of Kicker issues in a year when they thought they had finally solved their Kicker issues and clearly did not.

Also, while doing this whole thing it is most likely true that the Lions also laughed and mocked the Packers saying that even when they stop running the ball on purpose to mock their Kicker the Lions still have longer runs than the Packers do with their historically bad offensive line.

So instead of scoring a TD they decided to bring out their future HoF Kicker to make the Packers weep in sorrow for the days of yester-year when the Packers had a quality Kicker to depend on.

Bad calls wouldn't matter if the Packers took care of business. It's gonna matter though. At least the refs bad calls gives some Packer fans an easy target to blame to help them cope with being inconsistent undisciplined and having a historically bad offensive line.

I feel like Jordan Love has entered the Favre-Zone for the rest of today. No, he isn't trying to steal tax-payer money. I mean he is just gonna throw it down field because nothing else is working so might as well try whatever. We still have the worst o-line in the league, I can't get mad.

With the announcement of the next DLC, I just noticed for the first time today that several Stellaris DLCs have actually been outsourced to a 3rd party studio. No idea how I never noticed that until now. 🤔

Speaking of the World Series. I did search "World Series cleavage" to see if the Internet was talking about it because you know they can't not talk about it. 🤔 They are indeed talking about it.

The worst thing about this World Series is how we are halfway through the 2nd game and the frickin announcers are still telling us what we as viewers are going to experience this World Series, because apparently...

Part of the fun of watching FCS level college football is the fact that all games are basically shown via amateur broadcasts done by the home team. You get raw broadcast crews, bad audio, bad camera shots and stuff like this. It's all part of the fun.

This was fun to watch. 😄 Thanks again to Convergence for having me a part of it.

Wife has random thought pop into her head and asks me if PM Dawn used to be a band? Now I sit here listening to Set Adrift On Memory Bliss just to get it out of my system. 😐

New sandals come in. Put new sandals on. Proceed to walk over a mile in them right away. Oh gee, I have a cut/scrape from them on top of one foot. What a shocker. 😐 I never learn.

Disclosure Day was a pretty cool movie. I liked it. Kind of a bunch. It's weird. It's kind of has the vibe of a B-movie you would have seen on Up All Night on USA Network 30 yrs ago, but with really good acting. Kind of. 😀

Packer fans got to stop crying about the refs so much. The Packers are an undisciplined team, have been for years. Shit, NFL fans as a whole need to stop crying so much. NFL refs make amazing calls more than they make bad ones. Most shlubs complaining couldn't survive calling a high school game.

Green Bay Packers are currently in thinking mode. Do we win this game? Or.... Do we just say it was a good 3 quarters and let Dallas win now?

Yesterday Jordan Love’s wife posted this picture of him and his new born. Above the chair is a poster of the artwork I drew of him for the Packers last season. So cool to see that they liked it enough to do that.

BREAKING NEWS! The Green Bay Packers just ran the ball for a first down. Double News! They ran the ball 2 times in a row!

Have a few games set up for this but want like 20 more, so keep them coming. It is fun getting these in. Just hearing a little about if it's a single dev or small team. Where they are from. Sometimes a little story on why this game is even getting made. Will be fun to share as well.

Already got little Dorothy being seen by the vet on emergency visit. So I am sitting here at the vet waiting. She has a couple clean punctures, stomach super hard though. We'll see. 😐 Her on the ride over.

Update #3 I guess. She is home. She was poked and prodded and had X-rays and an ultrasound. She is on pain meds and antibiotics for a bit, nothing major so cool. Wasn't even as expensive as I assumed it would be. Anal sac expulsion is only $15 by itself. That's cheap in today's economy.

Update #2 - Her spine is fine. So no immediately serious issues thankfully. He does have a touch of early arthritis on her lower spine showing though so maybe she is a bit older than we thought. She will get antibiotics and pain meds and will be watched. And she has a bald spot now.

Update #1 - Ultrasound was good, so internal organs seem good. He thinks stomach being hard is from her being tight/tense from pain and discomfort. Getting x-rays now to check spine so waiting for that now.

I might be mid-stream but this deserves a re-post and a... Freakin NICE! Dec 9 too, good timing.

Ordered my new shoes for Twitchcon San Diego 2026. They are the same as the ones I have now. Except new. They were on sale. And I give them a little credit for letting me get back to full walking ability this year. It's been good since March.
