And just like that I have only logged into EVE once or twice in the last month.

My neurodivergent daughter, son and wife have been extraordinarily hard work this year and I lose day after day dealing with their fuckery. Between that and the seemingly collectively corrupt vampires of society, big business, media and government, everything around me is an ever worsening drain.

Oh – and the orange lunatic. It is amazing how much impact one man who is half a world away is having on us, who should instead just be terrorising a corner of an old people’s home.

I did play a fairly intense week and a half of Dungeon and Dragons Online. I reincarnated one of my characters and ran through half a dozen wilderness areas and heading towards 100 quests. I was surprised at just how much I remembered.

I purchased the Foundry VTT (Virtual Tabletop for roleplaying games) and the RMU (Rolemaster United) game rules for it. I used to play and run Rolemaster RPGs decades ago, and have been enjoying spending some time reading up on that.

I purchased The Last Caretaker after watching some random reviews, although have not yet run it.

Oh, and I purchased Star Citizen. It has a horrible tutorial, runs poorly and jittery on my PC, and I have to watch introduction videos on YouTube to understand what is possible and do constant Google Searches to work out just about everything I want to do. It was not cheap to get into so I will work my way through all those issues – but so far is makes EVE Online look slick and easy.

Crap, I better go see if I have anything in my training queue.
