@scopique My kid, who introduced me to Inside Job, said they want to try a new RPG system. I might need to give The Secret World TTRPG a looksie.

@scopique will they be selling the 5e version or Savage Worlds?

On my recent Babylon 5 rewatch, I took a break after season 4. Time to dive back in for season 5.

@wininoid@gamepad.club avatar

Whelp, I couldn't find Babylon 5 streaming anymore, and my DVDs are buried, so I finished Season 1 of Altered Carbon instead. It veered away from what I remember in the novels, but was good.

@WagesOf I read the novels when they came out and only have a vague recollection. Probably better that way so I enjoy the TV show as it's own thing. I saw episode 1 of season 2 and plan to keep going. Maybe revisit the books when I'm done watching.

I love the table markers at this cafe.

Why is the D&D bard always portrayed as a 1980’s hair band musician?

@scopique peak musician.

In case you missed it, I published a blog about my short story writing and the odd trend I noticed that they all have horror/suspense in them. That's not normally my thing. https://www.ingnomevation.com/oh-the-horror/

Morning Folks! I've been spending some time playing that other new survival game that does not involve catching them all... . This morning I share some of my very early thoughts about the game after having played around six hours.

Hey everyone, I published my first newsletter: https://www.ingnomevation.com/newsletter-january-2024/

It's all about my first and second novels, as well as my goals for creating my site.

Next Friday I'll be posting my favorite short story, which is a piece.

Check it out and sign up for future updates!

Ok, my site is shaping up. First newsletter is written and scheduled for this Friday.

Please check it out, sign up (free, no spam), and tell your friends about it.

It's going to be a monthly newsletter, at least twice a month fiction, and probably one short blog article about writing or reviews of books that inspire me. So a total of 1 post per week.

My style is quirky sci fi/fantasy/with a dash of mystery/thriller.

Thanks!

@scopique is that the newly legit CoH server? I should try that for the good old times.

Starship Simulator, or Why Future Kids Will Need an Engineering Degree

Starship Simulator caught me by surprise in more ways than one. Currently only a demo, if you have ever wanted to live a life on board a starship, this is one to watch. Be warned, though: you will need to bring friends to deal with the levels of complexity that already exist in this game.

@scopique 100% chance I'll make my kids play this one with me.

And already feeling that anxiety whenever I consider buying a keyboard...

WHAT IF ITS THE WRONG ONE????

@heyfluxay It took a little while to get the hang of the separate sides, especially since ti makes it hard to build muscle memory, because they aren't always in the exact same place, but I it seems much better ergonomically.

@wininoid@gamepad.club avatar

@heyfluxay That one looks good. I like the option for "tenting" on mine. It helps keep my arms in a more neutral position.

I'm creating a writing blog-like thing. What are some good themes to check out. Hoping for something minimal. @scopique what do you use?

wininoid,
@wininoid@gamepad.club avatar

@scopique Hmm, I bought that theme but it fails to install due to a missing file. Did that happen to you?

wininoid,
@wininoid@gamepad.club avatar

@scopique Oh, I found it. Their instructions don't match WP instructions for installation. This is why I didn't want to mess with a site that is too technically challenging. :)

wininoid,
@wininoid@gamepad.club avatar

@scopique I was hoping to use activity pub with the blog to be able to have a blog account for communication, but I can't get it working yet. I guess I have to just do it manually with this account or a new one I make for it.

wininoid,
@wininoid@gamepad.club avatar

@scopique thanks. I'll check it out after work.

My kid showed me a video for Wizard with a Gun. The intro video is amazing, but doesn't show any gameplay. It looked like an ARPG, but it's described as solo or duo survival. Has anyone played it? Any good?

@scopique might have to be a family Christmas gift this year.
