BoTW is probably the best game that nintendo has released to date.  What to do do after winning?  Buy a new game.  Octopath Traveler is good. 

I'm mainlining OpenTTD right now while I train recon 5 and jump gen 5 in EVE. Non-consentual full loss PVP ftw!

zomg I just Youtubed it, and got this.  Funniest thing ever!

I have been enjoying the world of Assassin's Creed.

First I got Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, which I enjoyed.
Then I got Assassin's Creed: Origins, which I'm still playing but enjoying somewhat less than Odyssey.
Then, free from having purchased Odyssey, I got Assassin's Creed III: Remastered, whereby I am annoyed by the gameplay.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey has a new DLC.

Woooooo!

Putting the finishing touches on the Vaux (well, close to finishing touches; We'll need to do the labels for the knobs, and given the adhesive nature of the VAUX logo, I'd prefer to put those letters as a finishing touch) before we send it to John at Minstrel Music for the actual wiring so it's actually playable.



Also, I think I have a new YouTuber to subscribe to:





An expert in German history (and an actual German at that, most likely Barvarian if that Kissingerian accent is any indication) putting his knowledge of it all into perspective as literal Nazis rise back to power. One minor quibble with his little talk about the Order of the White Feather, he uses Private Ernest Atkins' story of being handed a white feather while on leave, but there are so many other interesting stories to tell on the Wikipedia page alone, like George Samson being handed one while in his civvies while going to a dinner commemorating his gallantry at the Battle of Gallipoli, in which he attended to those wounded by Turkish fire and ended up getting shot himself, or Pvt. Norman Demuth, who was medically discharged after schrapnel wounds at the Battle of the Somme:

Norman Demuth Wrote:"Almost the last feather I received was on a bus. I was sitting near the door when I became aware of two women on the other side talking at me, and I thought to myself, 'Oh Lord, here we go again'. One lent forward and produced a feather and said, 'Here's a gift for a brave soldier. I took it and said,'Thankyou very much- I wanted one of those.' Then I took my pipe out of my pocket and put this feather down the stem and worked it in a way I've never worked a pipe cleaner before. When it was filthy I pulled it out and said, 'You know, we didn't get these in the trenches', and handed it back to her. She instinctively put out her hand and took it, so there she was sitting with this filthy pipe cleaner in her hand and all the other people on the bus began to get indignant. Then she dropped it and got up to get out, but we were nowhere near a stopping place and the bus went on quite a long way while she got well and truly barracked by the rest of the people on the bus. I sat back and laughed like mad."

And looking at the symbolism of the white feather, how it went from a symbol of cowardice, to pacifism, to a symbol of bravery used by a Marine Corps sniper who held a record for the most kills, I'm intrigued enough that, well, last summer, I went to THE Farm in Sturgeon Bay, and I picked up a goose feather and put it in the braids of my fisherman's cap. If the ducks (American Pekns all) are molting next year and a big feather is within reach, I'll put one on the other side.

Wasn't feeling good, so I'm replaying DA:I.

Guys, I think I've found my next project.

Our friends Jimmy and Sharon who's daughter comes around on the horsey have bought a pinball machine!
I had so much fun with it for 20 minutes then got bored real quick.

The next huge craze out there is virtual pinball!
You build a full size pinball cabinet, shove a 43 inch tv in it, another small tv on the back upright bit and you have a virtual pinball machine with hundreds of free tables to play, most are meticulously recreated by the community. No more boredom!

I need a new free online game like League of Legends or Path of exile. Suggestions?
