There's a part of me that finds it hilarious a segment of Packer fans are dreading the team facing QB Joe Flacco again. I don't know if I will laugh or cry if the now-Bengals QB is on a team that beats the Packers (again). The memes will be priceless. Packer victory would be exhilirating though 😁

Harvest (supermoon) Moon slowly rising above the treeline the night after its peak. #HarvestMoon #moon #supermoon

I finally backed the Monster Kingdoms crowdfunder at the lowest level because while I am excited over Onyx Path's Earthbane Cycle of fantasy RPGs, they haven't completed the 2nd in line, At the Gates. Heck, I don't know if they've released the books for World Below. So no deluxe for me.

Impressed with Packers CB Keisean Nixon. He's been playing very well tonight on the first Thursday Night Football on Prime during the 2025 season against the Commanders. Hopefully, I didn't just jinx him 😅 Now if special teams could play better... #Packers #Commanders #NFL

Backed #ShadowsOverSol 2E last night. If the digital bundle pledges grant access to any potential Foundry VTT unlocked stretch goals, then it's a fairly cheap pledge for granting VTT access. I also have zero familiarity wth Shadows Over Sol so this is my first real exposure.

Never in a million years did I think the #Packers would trade for Micah Parsons. Going to miss Kenny Clark; but why extend him with a third contract if one bad year would make him trade bait? Really hoping Micah is the generational talent to take the team to the next level.

Can't really say how impressed I am that Bo Melton made the Packers 53 after transition from WR to CB. Hope he does well. Also happy Iola, Wisconsin native ILB Kristian Welch was signed to the practice squad today. Hope he gets to play for the Packers this season. #Packers

I was wondering why the #Packers 2025 season initial 53 contained such a small number of ILBs if they use a 4,3 base. Well, the answer is the team will be using a lot of 3,4 defensive formations too. I credit Hafley for tinkering with his personnel since the front 4 simply weren't getting it done.

In a perfect world the #Packers would retain both ILBs Kristian Welch and Isiaiah Simmons on the initial 53. The former is a Central Wisconsin native and can play ILB and special teams. Simmons, once if he learns to play ILB, would be game changer in that role. Kind of want both 😁

Been awhile since I used an Armory Station in Elder Scrolls Online that had a slot with an empty Build. Forgot that I had read elsewhere that it was a free attribute and skill respec 😁 Also forgot it unequips everything 😅 So get to save my tons of respec scrolls 🙃 #ESO #ArmoryStation

Rather positively impressed 2024 Packers 1st Round Pick OL Jordan Morgan has proven the projections wrong by demonstrating he can play LT at the NFL level. People were only calling him a bust cause he was a first rounder whom the coaching staff were using to address RG and then got hurt. #Packers

#Packers really got clobbered by the #Jets in their preseason game 😬 WR Matthew Golden looked good. The other WRs not so much. OL Jordan Morgan looked like a capable LT backup. OL Jacob Monk needs to work on fundamentals. OT Belton should be fun to watch on rushing plays.

Rifts was flashback session this evening. A young girl had gone i to a hole leading into a cavernous region and was nabbed by a crab-like monster. After navigating a treacherous descent, we defeated the creature and rescued her. I kept saying our victory was preordained 🤣 #Rifts #ttrpgs

Ah, the Summer Haze! It's so... smoky. I think this year's Canadian Wildfire smoke has been more obnoxious than last couple years! I tell myself this is the forest regenerating; but I don't recall this reaching the Midwest before. Is this a once-a-century thing?

Though the Canadian Wildfire smoke Air Quality Alert was for yesterday but I guess it's supposed to last until parts of Thursday. Today was worse than Tuesday cause one can see and smell the smoke. I've also discovered supplements like NAC bump me into the highly-sensitive category.

Just unlocked the Scribing Altar Golden Pursuits reward today! #Scribing #ScribingAltar #ElderScrollsOnline #GoldenPursuits

Playing some Rifts. We're travelling within some sewers when a couple PCs spot (with powers or cybernetics) a couple invisible leaches. We continue on warily when the pair of leaches attack! #Rifts #ttrpgs

There's something about the week of EAA AirVenture that influences to get excited whenever I see any aircraft or airport regardless if it's at the event or away. #EAA #AirVenture

Today I learned that during a zombie apofalypse during which a disease infects people to turn into zombies that a 2024 D&D 5E Paladin won't wreck the horror. Paladins are no longer immune to disease nor does lay on hands remove disease. #d&d5e #ttrpgs #infected #paladin #zombieapocalypse

The fallibility of AI is assuming it is infallible.

I will be happy when I can go outside and enjoy a respite from inhaling Canadian wildfire smoke.

While I am saddened that the #Backerkit #crowdfunder #RiftsPromiseOfPower will likely not fund, I am not surprised. The funding goal was too high and the pledge levels too skimpy for a reforge of an almost 20 year old game. $1000 to have your name listed for financing the reforge?! Frustrated.

Having played #ElderScrollsOnline #PVP #Vengeance test campaign a couple times this week. First time participating in the #ESO campaign too. If the goal is test for stability, then #ZOS has a lot of work to since my toon died couple times from lag.

I find the optimism that Iran will today's strike by the US one-and-done curious. Doubly curious since many of them were adults back in '01 - '03.

RIP Peter David. It always a joy to read a comic written by him; and my TBR pile of his works, be it comics or Star Trek, is mountainous and ever-growing. His But I Digress column in the defunct Comic Buyer's Guide was always a must-read for me.

After several delays, we were finally able to resume our online #ttrpg Discord/Owlbear game of #Rifts. Samas pilots were probably too far away cause they were still flying to help their hapless comrades when that trio heard a voice from the Tunnel Crawlers asking what they wanted.

I really no idea why a shipment of #MastersoftheUniverseBattleground from #ArchonStudios would be stuck in #Germany for an undisclosed number of days before transit to the #UnitedStates. Hope other #crowdfunding projects from abroad face similar fates on their way to US backers.

Roughly one score ago, I bought what I could of Gary Gygax's Yggsburg and Castle Zagyg part out of impending scarcity & part in memoriam. Tonight, I just backed #TrollLordGames crowdfunding campaign for the first wave of #CastleZagyg books. Sometimes one has to finish what one started. #ttrpgs

The #Packers extending K Brandon McManus should settle the kicking issue & should not be a surprise. I'm kind of surprised ILB Isaiah McDuffie is being extended but I shouldn't. With a 4-3, Packers need linebacker depth & he's experienced. If it's $4M each year, then it's cheap for a starter. #NFL

Hadn't watched Monday Night #Raw in so long that I am used to watching it at 8pm. While I have watched a little on #Netflix, an hour and half is longest I have seen of the #WWE program in years. Didn't expect Iyo Sky to defeat Rhea Ripley to become champ. A pleasant surprise. #wrestlesky

Online #ttrp session of #Rifts has wrapped. We had a stellar plan: the mystic, grunt, & dog boy would sneak up to the farm. Lure and distract the two robots. Two SAMAS pilots would fly over and drop bombs. Easy, right? Except no coherent radio signal is sent and there are more than two of them...

Currently playing some #Rifts #ttrpg using Discord & Owlbear. Earlier during the session while an invisible mystic and sneaking dog boy were creaping upon a farm, a cruising military specialist in SAMAS flying overhead provokes two spider-like robots to pop out and blast at the SAMAS. PCs flee.

Cool moment seeing CM Punk and John Cena hug only for the #EliminationChamber match to end in skullduggery. While I could see John Cena's heel turn on Cody Rhodes coming a mile away, I wonder if it'll be done after 'Mania or there be more Soulless/Rock's Minion Cena in #WWE for the year? #Wrestling

I guess the Amazon #Kindle scandal was never going to impact me too much since I was never going to remove the DRM. Saddened to learn #DarkHorseDigital is ending. Lot of reading I need to do by Summer! Now watching some #SuperFriends / #SuperPowers on #MeTVToons. Royal flush gang episode 😎

Completed my 4th #book in 2025! Three Musketeers but German. Also young kids (YA) with a dash of Grimdark and magic. I found it enjoyable. #Booksky 💙📚 📚🪐

One fundamental problem with Ukranian restitution the US besides paying back 5x what was given (plus) along with zero security assurances is that there is a disconnect between what the US public thinks was given to what the US government gave to what Ukraine received. None of it matches. #Ukraine

Amazon finally has creative control of James Bond. While I am excited to get more #Bond and a #JamesBondUniverse no less, I'm ambivalent over the quality. The Brocollis had trouble consistently putting out top-notch Bond; & they would go years between films to ensure quality. #movies #tv #streamer

Finished my third #book of 2025 before and for Valentines Day cause it's a romance short story. Not my usual reading fare at all. Really liked the dialogue; and as time has passed I really appreciate the bit about peeling an orange more. #Booksky 💙📚

Saw a video on YouTube that Amazon stating owners would not be able to download their #kindle #ebooks by the end of the month. So I tried it; and everything the video(s) allege is already true now with the exception that a USB cable can be used. I already can't download my Kindle #books.

After three weeks, managed once again to play an online #ttrpg session using Discord and Owlbear of #Rifts. The Mystic who befriended the Coalition Squad managed to persuade us to travel and perform a welfare check on his mum and her farm. Wolves of the Calla vibes except we know they're bots.

Finished my 2nd #book of 2025. As someone who has yet to paint a #mini I found this book helpful. Lot of things to consider; and it really encourages me to up my game while understanding there will be stumbling blocks. #paintingminiatures #miniaturepainting #Booksky 📚💙

To mark the unveiling of The Fantastic Four: First Family trailer, I really like this piece including most of those who've counted themselves as members of the Fantastic Four. Would be cool if Spidey re-entered the MCU through a FF movie, if unlikely.

Got to play a game of #Rifts the #ttrpg over Discord and Owlbear. Tonight, the group finished a battle against a pride of Frost Lions who had ambused the Coalition Squad & Mystic (long story on why their together). Turns out it took everyone outside running back into the APC for the lions to flee!

Watching a Brewers game has been a rarity for me, so I knew about Bob Uecker as a famous baseball personality well before I knew his connection to the team. As a kid, Twin Peaks was over my head; but during my heavy film watching days David Lynch was a fave auteur director. RIP

The #Packers first year Defensive Coordinator Jeff Hafley tremendously improved the defense given what he had. It would be an amazing feat after one season as a DC if the #Jets made thim their next Head Coach. Hafley would have to be an excellent Madden player, I would guess. #NFL

Quick takes from the #Packers playoff loss to the #Eagles 1) Center Josh Meyers contract year ended the same his rookie year: injured. 2) TJ Slaton isn't a 4-3 DT nor is he disciplined to play under LaFleur with a veteran contract. 3) OL coach does not have the backups ready to play.

The #Packers and #Eagles wild card game was like a crash test dummy scenario for the Packers. Really don't know how the Packers would have made it pass the Divisional had they won. I do think their decision on impending free agents is easier now. Eagles don't look formidable in the #2024NFLPlayoffs

To mark Buck Rogers entering the Public Domain, I read the novella that inspired the comic strip. Dated, but a pretty good yarn. I also like action adventure Sci Fi and Pulps, which is also why I liked it. #PublicDomain #Books #BuckRogers #Booksky 💙📚 🪐📚

Got new public domain characters and stories on my mind recently. Like how there's a quick video showing the first #comicstrip with #Popeye. Doesn't quite match the look from the upcoming horror movie. Combined with the fact that we're some years away from spinach that I wonder if it'll languish.

On the 4th, I received my Cobra set of the GI Joe ARAH Kickstarter, which looked spectacular. Looking forward to reading Larry Hama's Marvel run. Hopefully, Skybound gives a similar treatment to Hama's IDW run. Would also love a similar collection of Marvel's Transformers run too!
