To be honest, I’m still not sure how to feel either.

Yesterday, my school loan holder told me my loan was 210 days past due, due to them suddenly reversing every payment I made this year, and that I was in danger of it going into default.

Today, apparently, that same loan has been forgiven and completely written off.

Talk about rollercoasters.

Any of the Lego games. They’re amazing, especially the earlier ones. As they got more open world they went down in quality IMHO. My girls like playing Stardew Valley together. Not sure how that would go for a 6yo tho.

ME: The deed is done, I have done as you have requested, child.

CHILD: Thank you, father.

(POV: The Youngest’s Halloween costume required a headless porcelain doll. I made it happen. With a hammer.)

A remake of Stephen King’s “Christine”, but instead of a Plymouth Fury, it’s a Lamborghini Countach that only plays 80’s tunes.

Watching the Vincent Price episode of the Muppet Show, and early Uncle Deadly sounds like Dr. Zoidberg.

Finally got around to playing Unmatched: Tales to Amaze today. My team of Houdini, Tesla, Sherlock Holmes, and Deadpool took on the team of Mothman and friends. I…did not fair well.

Had a lot of fun though! Glad I can play the game solo now….

Old Man Creaux @oldmancreaux.bsky.social · 18d

And then I watched Creature Commandos and fuck you for the Chasing Squirrels episode…. 😭

Old Man Creaux @oldmancreaux.bsky.social · 18d

Goddamn, just watched the finale. Thank you Mr. Gunn. I was a huge fan of Checkmate as a teen. Can’t wait to see what you do with them!

Starting to get the bills for when my youngest broke her leg last month. If I didn’t have insurance, I’d be capital F Fucked. As it is, it’s going to be a rough several months paying for what insurance doesn’t cover.

Tom Hanks has played Walt Disney and Mr. Rodgers in movies. He needs to complete the Childhood Heroes Infinity Gauntlet and play Bob Ross, Jim Henson, Steve Irwin, and LeVar Burton.

Just watched the most recent episode of Peacemaker and based on the “Next Time on Peacemaker”, I have my heart set up for breaking….

Please Mr. @jamesgunn.bsky.social, let the finale lead to a Checkmate ongoing. Or a movie. Or just an organization that exists. I promise I’ve been good this year.

Old Man Creaux @oldmancreaux.bsky.social · 24d

Yeah… Thank you for talking it over with me. I’ve been putting off working on the game for a while because I was intimidated by the points. I may take another whack at it this week. 😁👍

I’m not a maths guy, so when I realized the game needed a points system I got anxious about it and overthought it….

Old Man Creaux @oldmancreaux.bsky.social · 24d

I mean in my head. I think that it should be more complicated than it really is…but it can be just single points here and there….

Old Man Creaux @oldmancreaux.bsky.social · 24d

I guess it’s more of a problem with assigning values to the various cards and balancing that out. Ie. If The “actor” card is worth 1 point, I play “Triple Threat” as an enhancement to increase its worth. How to balance that out with other cards…

Maybe I’m just making it more complicated than it is

It’s actually a combo coop/take that in my mind.

Old Man Creaux @oldmancreaux.bsky.social · 24d

Yeah, it’s like at 10 pnts, the musical gets staged everyone wins, but if it reaches 15 pnts, the player who contributes the most is the sole winner. If by the end, it’s 5 pnts or less, the person who contributed the most is the loser. Secret pnts are gained to prevent players from tanking the game.

Old Man Creaux @oldmancreaux.bsky.social · 24d

It’s a semi-co-op where players are working together to produce a musical. They’re working towards a certain point total, but there are hidden objective additional points/multipliers as whoever has the most points is either the winner or loser, depending on what point score they reach.
