    If you were looking at the shirts I sell...

    ... they're about to go away. My shirt printer is retiring, and I have no replacement.

    After May 5 I'm going to take down the online order links on my little business's online store, and after this summer I'll clear out of whatever shirts I have left.

    So if you'd noticed any of these before, now's effectively the last chance.

    Not back to KSP yet, but I did do some space stuff.

    I haven't touched KSP since my early experience with KSP2 was a combination of glitchy game and impossible-to-read UI. I've been thinking about it here and there, but I've had other things to do.

    But that doesn't mean I'm not doing space stuff, and yesterday I finally edited and posted a video of such.

    My muse is nagging me.

    I've done very little writing the past five months, partly due to being busy, but mostly due to recurring headaches when it's writing time.

    I have a couple weeks off, and I'm going to try to make time to get back on my projects (the Octavia story and novelizing Peter is the Wolf). But my mind... well... it's trying to jump ahead, or possibly back.

    Life imitates art...

    So, a privately built and operated space probe became the first US lander to soft-land on the Moon last week- Odysseus.

Two new XCOM 2 videos on YouTube · 1:21pm Apr 8th, 2021

Just posted a couple of videos to YouTube demonstrating my poor judgment in XCOM 2.

First, the mission where I sent six rookies on a Very Difficult supply raid for the sake of getting a certain achievement:

Second, what happens when the game crashes and I restart it... and then forget I popped up the facecam...

What was the achievement, Wood Chipper?

5493059 That would have been fitting, but it was "Beginner's Luck" (complete a mission with an all-rookie team in June or later).

5493230 And by 'complete' they mean end the mission with at least one character having a majority of their limbs, I presume? (Xcom is very much an Estee kind of world....)

5493243 Technically not even that. If your mission is to escort a VIP or to capture/kill an enemy VIP, then mission success depends primarily on that VIP. So long as you get done what needs to get done with them, the WHOLE SQUAD could technically die and it'd still count as a successful mission. (I didn't go that far in the video, but...)
