Everything is cool


Breakthrough cases? Pshhh, this is fine. Right?

The canvas patio enclosure came in. The front porch is no longer a wind tunnel, nor covered in tree detritus.

Slow progress on the backyard structure. Weekdays have been pretty busy and weekends have been hot. The 2x2s on the roof numbered something like 40 to span the width. This was the first of three sections. Yeah, it's a big project.

Lambos or shambos


I forgot that Mass Effect had some corpo-dystopia themes. On Feros the ExoGeni corporation does bioweapon research and experiments on colonists. Noveria is an ancap dystopia full of lies and backstabbing.

The show goes on


I have a few games queued up, but needing a PS4 option I fired up the Mass Effect remaster. I hold the original in pretty high regard, so I was both eager to give it another playthrough and hopeful that it aged gracefully.

Top ten games


A long while back, J sent me his top ten video games of all time per an ongoing discussion about such matters. It took me some time to furnish my own, but I have at last.

Distractions


Mass Effect Bioware did a really good job here. KOTOR was awesome, but comparing it to Mass Effect is like comparing Mario 3 to Mario 64. Both great games in their own right, but the sequel adds so much depth that all you can really say is they're the cream of their respective generation. Elaborating on this would be difficult to put into a reasonable number of words, so let me just say that it's a great game to lost in.
