Huh. Though I had written this one up already. Either that was in a dream or I didn’t save it. Oh well! Damnit. Now I’m remembering some of the stuff I wrote and it was pretty good!
Going to mix it up with some pony reviews today! In between the aches in my lower back since I’ve switched from a sitting desk to a standing desk and fuck my back muscles are not liking it one bit. Hopefully it’ll be good exercise for the con.
So, still playing They Are Billions. It continues to be insanely frustrating. Especially since I started a new campaign and trying to play on the normal difficulty level again. Which is ruinously hard. I think I’ve pinned down why I keep playing and returning to it, though. It is very obviously the product of people who had a creative vision and cool idea, even if their skills aren’t quite up to pulling it off. They aren’t that great at game design. Above average, maybe, but there are still a lot of flaws. Yet the sincerity and passion they have for the game really comes through.
Anyway, another movie I watched a while ago in my found footage and/or horror movie binge.

This one is a blend of found footage and ‘standard movie. Makes an interesting contrast. This one is more of a suspense/mystery than horror. Which turned out to be a slight disappointment, actually. Which is weird since I would have said I’m not a huge fan of horror films but there is just something about the building tension and general atmosphere of a good scary movie. The end of this one was a bit of a disappointment, but not enough to ruin the rest of it.
I’m late posting this today because I’ve spent the last hour or two reading wholesome posts on imgur. Which is a very nice way to spend the time. Here’s the link I started with if you want a whole bunch of things to feel good about.
The daily updates continue! Today we’ll have some ponyfic reviews. Nothing to major. Just one-line reactions to a handful of stories I read… Jeeze, like two weeks ago by now.
