petrea_mitchellFall color around here usually comes in piecemeal, but this time it's like all the trees looked at their calendars this week and said, "What, October already??". Suddenly it's everywhere.

Orycon issued a progress report yesterday saying panelists should have their schedules "by the end of the week". Which week or what they consider the end is not clear. There's another section of the progress report referring to the con coming up in six weeks (more like four now).
Yesterday I went all the way across town for the store championship at Red Castle Games for my worst result ever! But I now have a deck named Dr. Pain, so the day was not wasted.
I've been whipping right through the Fame path in Sunless Skies and have nearly finished it. After that I think I might put it aside for a while. The Retro Gaming Expo is right around the corner, after all...
No room for anything but anime this week. But I'm done with the premieres (except for Psycho-Pass 3 which doesn't show up for another couple weeks) and nearly caught up with second episodes, so there will be room for other things soon.
The Economist has a useful primer on what exactly Thatcherism was, for those of us not old enough or British enough to know directly. Spoiler: Not as aligned with American conservatism as American conservatives like to think, but being pulled apart now by similar forces.
