Watching S1E4 "Momento Mori" of Strange New Worlds and I don't think it was intentional, but they remade it into S4E6, "Off-Hour," but with the characters shuffled around in their perils. Also "Momento Mori" is a damned good submarine episode. Keep her steady.

Note: Danielle and I did not know that both of us were contributing to this piece but when she mentions trying to fall on her sword for a colleague, well. That was me.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

News of Walter Koenig passing makes is sad. Another icon from The Original Series is gone. I only knew him as Chekov all my life until this year when I watched him as Bester on Babylon 5. Turns out B5 was where we actually got to see him shine, and as a truly dastardly character. He was so good!

Catching up on yesterday's F1, and Ted Cruz getting booed so hard as he presented the trophy to the winner was just fantastic.

Ok, no one warned me so I’m warning you: if you’ve ever been in an abusive relationship, You Can See Everything is a really difficult watch.

Watched "You Can See Everything" and the sheer number of times I said, "What the fuck?"

By the way if you saw You Can See Everything and you’re curious: HamiltonBuhl Schoolmate HA2.

Currently, Hasbro’s guidelines keep us from having total ownership over the work we make in our free time. Our union aims to change that and ensure we own what we make in our free time. actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...

this one is really good but unfortunately it's a difficult piece to sum up in a headline or description so most people aren't going to click on it and find out how good it is. but they should....... . .. . . . . js

Why do we persist in making games despite weeks like this one? This:

Tonight in Draw Steel, the party prepared for war (and got a total failure in their montage, losing recoveries), and then engaged the War Dogs! The victory condition is killing the commander, and even at the cusp of level 5, still having so much fun they're killing everything ELSE instead first. 😅

One more for the afternoon crowd. Two of the last lines of dialogue I wrote on the last BioWare game I shipped.

Sometimes it's hard to remember that the Babylon 5 station has over 250,000 people on board. Sometimes it doesn't seem much larger than a hot tub warehouse in southern California.

Good news y'all

I left the gym this morning and immediately went for a hike/birding. It's a bit tougher with only your phone, but still so lovely. Saw a northern cardinal, red-tailed hawk, Harris's sparrow, blue jay's, and a number of nuthatches.

In great video game news, I started Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and am having a lot of fun! Of course, it cheated and having the Gerudo Desert as one of the first places to help. Happy to help ladies in need!

For more context. 15 games to get this much progress in a weekly challenge. LOL

Once again, trying to play Overwatch was a mistake. :(

I worked at Buffalo Wild Wings for 35 minutes. I wanted to be server, they put me in kitchen. It was quiet, they sent me home early. I never went back.

AM I DOING THIS RIGHT

The WoW Forever podcast is informative and all, but 4 episodes in now and no non-dudes on is a bit of a bummer.

Tonight in Draw Steel... negotiations! The party need help defending their new stronghold from powerful War Dogs marching in. They spoke with locals they've helped in the area, hired mercenaries (spending A LOT of wealth), and negotiated with the local governor. I'm so proud on that last one.

Trump had people arrested to cover up his incompetence. An impeachable offense for any other president. For Trump, probably just about the 17th worst thing he did that week.

Launching Tuesday, October 13th! #mcdm #drawsteel www.backerkit.com/c/projects/j...
