Captain's Log: Had to stop by The Clinic in the Narion system to pick up some medical supplies. I was never there before, so I was surprised by how big it was. As I hadn't had time for lunch, I had to grab some grub from a vending machine. #Starfield

One of my favorite games from way back was Arcen Games AI War. A fascinating mix of tower defense, 4X & *deep* fleet combat, I loved it! Because of a rough 2019 launch, I forgot about the sequel. The Steam Autumn sale has reminded me! A steal at 75% off! store.steampowered.com/app/573410/A...

I converted another Starfield screenshot into the anime look. Here, my vessel destroyed a House Va'ruun in a (cool!) fight amongst some asteroids orbiting Venus.

We lost internet for a day because of that Nor' Easter, so no streaming. I spun-up my Cowboy Bebop DVDs instead. It made me want to play Starfield again. SF hits closest to that CB theme of a close crew out to make credits. SF screenshots even look good with the CB style! 😄

I have been tired out on WWII shooters for a while. So, if you would have told me that I would become addicted to one in 2026, I would have called you a liar. But I have, and the shooter is called Easy Red 2. It is like starring in your own WWII movie! #PCGaming youtu.be/1g2QHzkcGa4?...

I finally watched the Minecraft movie, and unfortunately, I agree with the general opinion: it’s strictly after-school fare, unlikely to appeal to anyone over 16. The humor swings between pop culture pandering and flat jokes that never land. 1/
