Spinning



Time to catch up.


Good weekend. On Sunday we had one of those stay-at-home days. Not going out all day is still a revelation -- playing games during daylight hours, amazing!

So far, this week


My Netflix got hijacked. I received a warning that my password had been successfully changed. WTF WTF WTF! I was still logged in to the service via my phone, I could see a new email address associated with my account and two new profiles had replaced my own set of profiles. They were situated in Spain, judging by their IP addresses and new language assignment. I got straight onto customer support via their VoIP contact system and immediately grabbed my account back. Very damned strange. I changed all my passwords and set up 2-step verification on my email. I wish I could identify where they captured my password - was it my recent use of Discus, the video editor I trialed or maybe an infected mobile device? Damn, I hate not knowing.


Dishonored 2: Death of the Outsider


Loving it! I knew I would but hadn't got around to playing. What's refreshing is that I'm not tied to a total stealth playthrough which often takes a very long time. I'm enjoying the chase, where crowds of murderous guards come after me -- Billie Lurk can usually slip away to an out-of-reach balcony or sprint into a warren.

I was once again, stunned by the beauty of the design. So much so that I decided to stop playing and do some "game tourism." That's where you go into a game world with the single intention of enjoying the sights and capturing the moments using an in-game camera or amazing tools like Nvidia's Ansel (what I used).

We've arrived.  After more than a year without a website, my escape pod has finally landed, here at Google's blogger service. It's all fine. Just a few cobwebs from the space spiders. A brave new world.

Letter from the edge of Christmas

Okay, calling this blog entry a "letter" is maybe a stretch, but this definitely feels like the edge of Christmas, given that tomorrow I have my office Christmas party and Clara has hers on Friday. For the first time ever, I started my Christmas shopping in November, although that didn't stop me from waiting until the day before the work party to by my secret Santa gift. The promise of a return Tabletop Role Playing Games! Stranger Swedish Things  I bought a game big game book, based on a long-time love of the work of artist Simon Stalenhag, who inspired many with his paintings of the rural Sweden of his childhood, chock full of giant robots and rusting futuristic metal hulks. Tales from the Loop is an old-school table-top role-playing game, in which you play young teens who solve mysteries in an alternate history 1980s where certain technologies blossomed, giving the world fusion, giant robots and mysterious particle accelerators which appears to be caus
