You know what would be great? A little shelf outside my office door. That way when I'm coming back from the kitchen with a hot beverage and need to fish out my keys, I wouldn't have to awkwardly balance the mug or put it on the floor.

That would be great.

Just to be clear, fantasy is when the technology is sufficiently advanced.

@Garrison

Who doesn't, really?

Love Kremlin. I was on the original RoR playtest team. The rule that limits a player to one assassination attempt per turn is down to me ...

In one of the playtest games I managed two or three succesful murders in one turn which removed enough votes for me to win. (I think that was what happened. It was a while ago.)

At this stage of my life, She-Hulk was more immediately accessible than Ms Marvel because I know more angry women lawyers than 16 year old Muslim girls.

Which is, you know, kind of a thing.

To be fair, I know no one with full on super-powers, though.

@Garrison

I really did not care for it either. Nor did my mother, in fact.

And we talked about it since it did get so much good press (literal and metaphorical).

We still don't get it.

Cheesemaking today - I started with about 3 litres of milk yesterday. After culturing, renneting, and hanging overnight I have about 800 gm of curds.

Half is in the press, and will go into heavily salted whey later, for a feta style.

The other half got mixed with rosemary and is destined for pizza in the next few days.

@Garrison

Even worse, I was looking at a couple of old, stodgy guys on the train the other day, and realised they were probably my age.

I'll be doing a feast for 80-100 in December, and the latest process article is up ...

@Steveg58

In general, not a fan of snap ...

@polymerwitch

Not my fave list, per se ... but the games I play/have played the hell out of:
X-COM (and X-COM 2 somewhat)
Surviving Mars
The Long Dark
and right now a lot of
Planetcrafter

Not in Steam, but one I still spend a lot of time on is Dwarf Fortress. (Which I guess is available in Steam, these days.)

@Garrison

Staying up late again? You kids and your wild ways.

#medieval #food time
I'm doing a feast for an #sca event in December and writing a series of posts about the process.
