I just found the "Soiled Trousers" in Grim Dawn. Wow. Pretty gross, but at least I know what to assign to the #2 hotkey. 😏

Aha! I see that our cat-bowl inspectors were on duty last night. (We usually just have a 'possum or two, but these look like raccoon tracks.)

Nooo! I had just gotten over the end of Alien: Earth, and my wife bought our parrot a toy that looks like T. Ocellus. Come back, Eye Midge, we love you! 😢💔👁️🐙

Hunting down the Queen of the Dermapteran Swarm in Grim Dawn is creepy enough ... but her lair is shaped like a big smiley face with legs. 😱

Whoo-hoo! Level 35 in Grim Dawn! I was kinda hoping for a Doctor Doom groove with the mask, but I think I look a little more like Klytus from Flash Gordon. (Not that that's a bad thing.)

Forty hours in, and Grim Dawn is turning out to be a lot of fun. Hey, do you smell something burning? Okay, I guess it's just me.

I took some time this morning to seal a few cracks in my old decoys with some you-know-what. (They're just for decoration, mind you.)

After about 375 hours in Starfield, I've finally reached Level 50, which gives me the "Space Opera" achievement. Still having fun among the stars! 🤩
