Diary - Aug 30 to Sep 05 2025

Sat Aug 30 2025

Sleep 0500 to 1200, 45m nap (7-3/4 hours)

  • DDO during three-day weekend. We did Lords of Dust chain to get to Eveningstar then Impossible Demands in King’s Forest.
  • CSr, Dave S and I all have MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries. Dave W seems reluctant. It’s hard to tell if it’s he doesn’t want to spend any money (it’s $12 on sale), or doesn’t like GOG (it’s now on sale on Steam), or doesn’t want to play the game at all. Also he didn’t bring up any objections when we were talking about it or when I bought it and talked about it (and I wouldn’t have minded him saying he didn’t want to play it after I bought it). So hard to tell with him when something is a hard no until he starts complaining weeks or months later.

Sun Aug 31 2025

Sleep 0345 to 0815 (4-1/2 hours)

  • Visiting parents today and tomorrow. Steak dinner, won ton soup the next day.
  • CSr helped mom buy a new computer from Costco, one that can run Windows 11. It has a 512 GB SSD and she doesn’t use that much hard drive space though maybe he can move the 2 TB HDD to the new computer. Not sure when it’ll be delivered.

Mon Sep 01 2025

Sleep 0500 to 1130 (6-1/2 hours)

  • Drove back home. Listened to some Miley Cyrus though less memorable songs than I remember. Then switched to Melissa Etheridge’s Yes I Am and lots of bangers there — I love that album.

Tue Sep 02 2025

Sleep 0345 to 1000, 1030 to 1215 (8 hours)

  • Divine Right X: The Omega Expansion KS. You can get Divine Right 2P (reprint with corrections as part of the KS), Divine Right X (boxed set expansion as big as the main game), Battle of Shrieker’s Scrub (a standalone 1h war game in the Divine Right universe), Divine Right neoprene map. $250 + $15 shipping in USA. I am very tempted but have until Sep 20 to decide.

Wed Sep 03 2025

Sleep 0445 to 1245 (8 hours)

  • Received ATO Annual 2023 - La Bataille de Kulm.

Thu Sep 04 2025

Sleep 0600 to 1215 (6-1/4 hours)

  • When I was at my parents last I used my MBP monitor and realized it does look nice and a bit less eye straining. Maybe this year I’ll buy an Apple Studio Display, at $1600 (+ tax) a bit expensive but monitors last years. It’s a 27” so as big as my current main display.

Fri Sep 05 2025

Sleep 0200 to 1000 (8 hours)

  • Frak. I hate that Apple Numbers allows me a lot of Undos but then no Redos — sometimes you can Redo and others times not. I use Undos if I deleted data I want back — I go undo then copy the data then redo back to current state and paste data. This time I undid a bunch of stuff it won’t let me redo so now I’ll have to fix it as I come across the old data. This is probably because it’s an iCloud document.
  • Deadlands: Dark Ages KS launching in a few days. From the blurb it seems like King Arthur + Mythos. Right now not sure if I'll buy it.
