I’m super-busy with home repairs, transitioning from Thanksgiving to Christmas, and unfortunately trying to pay a sudden, large utility bill. Partially due to a lack of foresight, but partially due to living in a state that treats “infrastructure” as a dirty word. “Rix’larril’an of the Ascendancy 2.01” has been started, but I just haven’t had time to bang it into the right shape yet.
Love you all! Thanks for reading!

Alright, now it’s time to finally tackle the space I’ve been dreading the most. Our family is putting a laundry room upstairs, meaning, we need to know how they’re actually using this space.
See, what I have been doing is telling this story, and only furnishing rooms once they are in the form they will be taking in the final product (or at least, very close to.). A notable exception has been the nursery when Logan was born, but otherwise, that’s the deal.

This week I refuse to believe it’s been a whole week since last Wednesday. I have nearly gotten Risk of Rain Returns to %100. The difficulty feels more balanced now, but still harder than the second game. This could be because of my hours clocked, or it could be the items I’ve unlocked have helped the scaling.
Last week I complained about the camera magnification. This was user error. There is a inconspicuous button to toggle on/off pixel perfect. My mistake.
Today is Peter’s birthday. Happy birthday Peter.
What are you guys up to?
Being “safe on the surface of Dromund Kaas” is an entirely relative concept. Kaliyo and I are no longer in the direct control of a Grand Moff and his murderous droid, but Dromund Kaas is an inherently unsafe place to be. In galactic terms, the Dromund system is right down the road from Korriban, the literal and traditional homeworld of the Sith species and Sith ideology. Dromund Kaas was annexed into the Sith Empire in antiquity, but possessing no special resources or attractions, its precise location was lost to time. Following their defeat in The Great Hyperspace War, Sith survivors sought the Dromund system for decades as a possible refuge unknown to the Republic or the Jedi. When Dromund Kaas was finally rediscovered, the Emperor established Kaas as the seat of power for the Sith and ordered the construction of a fortified city to house the Dark Council, the Imperial Bureaucracy, and the Military.
Over time the Bureaucracy has become dominated by Internal Affairs, or Imperial Intelligence; and as the “Military” is housed almost entirely in the Armada or is stationed at any of the thousands of worlds that comprise Imperial Might, the former Command Headquarters has been given over to the Mandalorian mercenaries allied with the Empire. When you consider most Sith Lords and Moffs spend their time on private fleets or on their favorite world of governance, those that remain are mostly those playing at power. According to the Chiss Expansionary Defense Force, even the Sith Emperor has been absent from the planet for decades; possibly centuries.

First up I would like to apologize for this screwup. I fully recognize the irony of my thanks to you all for keeping up commenting, immediately followed by us inadvertently making it impossible to comment.
Unfortunately one of the many things my dad never set up was a user management system. So the site defaulted to requiring a WordPress login. With the combination of WordPress’ centralized setup and the site being out of date, there is currently no way to easily make an account. Which we found out the awkward way when we noticed suddenly nobody was commenting at all. And some further testing proved that WordPress didn’t actually link to any signup page, or provide an easy way to be logged in.
As of now comments should be back online, with only one major adjustment that won’t affect how they function. I will remain the primary moderator of Bay’s comments section as well as watching the rest until we can either find a better long-term solution or the problem dies down.
Thank you for your patience, and sorry about the mess.
The Thieves Guild quest in Skyrim is a vortex of disjointed plot-holes, contrivances, and nonsense.
My first REAL published book, about a guy who comes back from the dead due to a misunderstanding.
Lists of 'best games ever' are dumb and annoying. But like a self-loathing hipster I made one anyway.
Since we're rebooting everything, MASH will probably come up eventually. Here are some casting suggestions.
Deus Ex Mankind Divided was a clumsy, tone-deaf allegory that thought it was clever, and it managed to annoy people of all political stripes.
How did this game avoid all the usual stupidity that ruins remakes of classic titles?
Let's ruin everyone's fun by listing all the ways in which zombies can't work, couldn't happen, and don't make sense.
Ever wondered what's in all those quest boxes you've never bothered to read? Get ready: They're more insane than you might expect.
