petrea_mitchellWait, just over a week until Labor Day? Already?
Why are you not rubbing this belly, human?
The weekly anime commentary happened on time, but didn't get posted until today due to an editorial misfire. I want to start breaking that out into its own post here, it'll remind me to check that it's up on the day, and it's hard to make comments about it after I've already started writing the next week's post. I wasn't doing it because it would be a significant percentage of the individual posts here, so that'll get me to write more, maybe.
Eggsy is down to 5 chains because only the minimum number of people showed up for the extra event this week and it was all the experts. I'll make one more attempt next week at getting it to power level 2, and then switch to something else next time.
I'm cruising along in Sunless Skies despite finally losing my first captain. The inheritance mechanic is much more forgiving than in Sunless Sea.
The play-by-post Pathfinder Society convention that was supposed to start this Monday was pushed back two weeks on Thursday because most of the GMs hadn't gotten their scenarios yet. Naturally, the next morning, most of us woke up to discover our scenarios had turned up.
I enjoyed Teckla a whole lot more than the first two Dragaera books. Part of that is way fewer references to events that hadn't been written yet. Another part is that it is very much a book for our time.
I'm slowly making my way through the last section of The Wealth of Nations.
Play along with FiveThirtyEight's staffers and try to guess whether quotes are about sports or the debates. (My score 4/7 and in total agreement about that one trick question.)
