I found where they're keeping the data.

Holy shit, I submitted my wishlist for the instant the button became available and I'm for processing. I don't know if that's good or bad. I'd hate to see what it would be if I hesitated.

I forgot I had this and I'm surprised it still works.

I guess my scripts for our migration might be something of a hit. We'll see how they fare with 50-ish failover clusters here in a bit, but the tests with 10 or so were smooth as silk twice earlier today. I know this doesn't sound complicated — it's just failovers amirite? — but there are stumbling blocks that have to be accounted for including network latency, SIOS mirroring, Windows pending reboots, AD, DNS...y'know all of the usual wrenches getting thrown in the gears.

I gotta admit that I'm disappointed to hear that Dire Wolf Digital will be supporting their board games at and not the or . It seems like a wasted opportunity.

This comment I put in a script is going on my gravestone.

Fuuuck. The airline changed my connecting flight coming home from Indy in August from being at a good time to departing 8 hours before my first flight arrives. I booked everything though Hopper and luckily got the missed connection insurance, because getting hold of anyone at the airline is impossible. I may just have to fly on the day, invoke the missed connection guarantee, and get a new flight booked then. But it's stressful as hell. Luckily it's coming home and not going, maybe?

This is an example of how Ministry reworked the early stuff. Also: backup singers, and an electric violin and cello:

This "All Purpose Flour" is a scam. It does not work as sugar.

Today in our game we digressed quite a bit but that's ok. The Cell sans the Doomsayer who is currently obsessed with the stained glass window he's creating decided to go to Halos and Den Hades about the Z'bri's demand for the heartstone back. Halos laid out who the Z'bri is, a powerful Sangis count named Eshlazi, revealing its actually the current occupant of the heartstone. Somehow Eshlazi has awoken his spirit and found a way to reach out from inside the stone./1

I'm staying near the airport for , and originally I was going to rent a car. But then I thought about it. I'm like 15 minutes away from the convention center. Aside from the expense of the rental, I'd need parking for 4 days for a car that's just going to sit there for 12+ hours.

I can just take the shuttle from the airport to the hotel, and take a Lyft to the convention and back. It would likely save at least a couple hundred bucks.

I have my badge for and the hotel booked, but I still haven't booked my flight. It's gotten so byzantine with fees for all kinds of choices. Just let me book a fucking flight, have a seat on the plane, bring my carry-on, and check a bag for one fee without anything additional added.

Woot, got a couple of badges repaired and back on my bag. Now to find the sewing kit and get my coffin drop patch onto my jacket.

Almost 54 years old, totally a professional, and still doing pins and patches.

I forgot The Dandy Warhols exist. But I when I think of their name I hear it in Rodney Bingenheimer's voice because of how much he played them in his show for a while.

Our session got cut short on Sunday by my work intruding. The previous session the Cell had chased down a Z'bri possessed Agnite who had attacked the two Guides, Halos and Den Hades, and stolen one of Halos' heartstones. They found the thief in a cellar underneath Ile Purdue (the “S&M bar” as I described it), along with the mangled body of another Agnite and a third, unknown body. Our friendly Jacker and our Doomsayer both got stabbed by the Agnite, and the Jacker was more seriously injured.1/x

Is there a way to replace button backs? I have some buttons where the pins have broken. Tbh I'd rather they have pin backs like my other pins instead of what buttons usually have, but I don't know if that's possible.

And I'm referring to buttons with a logo or picture and a pin on the back, like what you pin to your clothes.

My wife has been putting money away to send me to this year. She just hasn't gotten the badge or hotel or anything yet. But I have zero idea of what I would actually do at GenCon. I don't know what to plan for really 😅

I used to think my Dad was being ridiculous with the precise steps he insisted on taking to configure my Mom's PC with the JAWS screen reading software. And then I had to configure SQL Server failover clustering and suddenly I understood.

So my brain has been broken by like Fate, Cortex, and FitD because I'm looking at Cypher, and...yeah...it definitely does some things. They might even be great things. The books are amazingly put together. But pools and flavors and edge and effort are making my eyes cross for some reason.

My wife's Kindle is stuck in a reboot loop. I've tried everything, but there's no way to do a hard reset that's not in the OS that I've found. Any chance there's a solution that someone else has found?

I just realized unborked Luke Cage (he costs 3 now but protects all cards again instead of just one location). So I'm back on my Wong Hazmat shit. Just won a game with 1 power in two locations and -5 in a "Least Power wins" location and didn't use Luke Cage at all.

I love the passion and interest that some people have in #TTRPGs I also love. At the same time, I find it very exhausting. Yes, I agree it would be great if more material were produced for this game. No, I don't think the lack of a single page's worth of errata means the game has been abandoned.
