Gunfire Reborn (2022)

This post is a smattering of stuff I've talked about recently; video and board games, SCOTUS, web stuff. Starting with the last one, a few weeks ago Rob linked me the 'nownownow movement'. According to the search engine blurb (since the site didn't renew its certs):

I have a small web post and a SCOTUS post on deck, but for now, games.
Mine and J's first major Remnant II dungeon was the Beatic Palace. We were admiring the Bloodborne aesthetic when we ran into a bit of a confusing puzzle and/or dead end. After some internet searching it occurred to us that we'd come upon a not-uncommon glitch where a critical NPC simply does not spawn. And you can't leave dungeons. You just start over. The whole campaign.

A little bit of fresh air and some stale office air.
Derrick organized a Pizza Port trip, Jeff organized an oktoberfest GBES outing, and Dani got some new stickers. Then Mom came down and we hit a pumpkin patch and the zoo.
The board game crew wrapped up a very fun and story-rich Clank Legacy campaign. Through a combination of being in the right place at the right time and always getting back to or near the inn, my character Proposition Joe pulled Employee of the Month honors.

Lots of games in this one, notably the old (but new to me) titles Grand Theft Auto Online and FTL. Also some progress on a smattering of games from the library, including 'daddy games' (ones I let the little one watch for short periods).
I've been a fan of the GTA series since II but never got around to playing V. Since the PUBG squad was looking to introduce a little variety, we decided to try GTAO.

Maybe not all the genres, but FPS, 4X, tabletop, and a meme game are a good sampling.
Since /r/stellaris is often on Reddit's default front page with funny posts, I thought I'd give it a go (Steam sale). Civ made #3 on my all-time list and Stellaris seemed to have many of the same 4X elements. Long ago I played Sins of a Solar Empire and appreciated the scale of the game while feeling it largely suffered under its own weight for playability.
