DM of the Rings Remastered CXIII: It’s a Trap!
Wednesday Action Log 04-02-25
This week is mostly just Deep Rock Galactic.
I finally got Driller promoted. I’ve moved on to Gunner and now I’m missing being able to dig easy tunnels. I really don’t know if I’m going to end up liking the zipline launcher as much as any of the other traversal tools, but I guess the minigun is nice so far. What’s everyone else doing this week?

Scheduling Blockage
Hey, folks. This is Paige. I don’t have anything to upload right now primarily due to scheduling changes. Some of it is from last week: after a short amount of time of very little wind we’re back to sandstorms again. So much for being able to take a break. BTW, I was serious about moving. It keeps getting pushed back because of other factors, but we’re moving North and out of the sand’s way as soon as possible. In fact several of the things I’ve had to work on relate tangentially to that. Some of the home repair is just fixing things that are “livable” day-to-day but should probably be fixed before a sale. Some things aren’t my decision.
Anyway, as always I have several posts started but not anything finished. I’ll have something up soon!
DM of the Rings Remastered CXII: Insubstantial
Wednesday Action Log 03-26-25
This week I’ve been playing more Deep Rock Galactic, and R.E.P.O.
R.E.P.O. continues to be fun. I’ve been having fun tumble launching myself at enemies to stun them. then I am promptly killed by that enemy, while my sibling try’s to collect the recourses to revive me. I’ve also realized you can stun the duck by flushing it in the toilet.
Deep Rock Galactic, on the other hand is mostly just me farming for levels so I promote all the dwarfs. Engineer and Scout are already promoted and I’m currently working on the Driller. He’s fine but I miss having my grapple hook or the turrets, maybe I’ll miss his equipment when I move on to the Gunner.

So Much Dirt
The last few weeks have been awful, weather-wise. See the splash image above? That’s the sky. That’s dust. And the image pictured is on a good day. We’ve had a couple of 40 – 60mph days and probably six 20 – 40mph days. A dozen or more 15 – 20mph days. I’ve been dusting most of the house every couple of days. Running the vacuum a lot, and pulling pounds of dirt out of the carpet. It’s tiring. This also has been awful for everyone’s health. People are literally sneezing dirt. I am so looking forward to moving away from here.

DM of the Rings Remastered CXI: You Can’t Take it With You
From The Archives:
Borderlands Series
A look at the main Borderlands games. What works, what doesn't, and where the series can go from here.
Tenpenny Tower
Bethesda felt the need to jam a morality system into Fallout 3, and they blew it. Good and evil make no sense and the moral compass points sideways.
The Witch Watch
My first REAL published book, about a guy who comes back from the dead due to a misunderstanding.
Gamers Aren’t Toxic
This is a horrible narrative that undermines the hobby through crass stereotypes. The hobby is vast, gamers come from all walks of life, and you shouldn't judge ANY group by its worst members.
Marvel's Civil War
Team Cap or Team Iron Man? More importantly, what basis would you use for making that decision?
Batman v. Superman Wasn't All Bad
It's not a good movie, but it was made with good intentions and if you look closely you can find a few interesting ideas.
A Lack of Vision and Leadership
People fault EA for being greedy, but their real sin is just how terrible they are at it.
Free Radical
The product of fandom run unchecked, this novel began as a short story and grew into something of a cult hit.
Megatextures
A video discussing Megatexture technology. Why we needed it, what it was supposed to do, and why it maybe didn't totally work.
Dead Island
A stream-of-gameplay review of Dead Island. This game is a cavalcade of bugs and bad design choices.
