Sleep 0630 to 1430 (8 hours)

• Forgot about the ElfQuest Classic Deluxe KS which ended a couple weeks ago but you can still do late pledges. I did have the boxed 1E set as a teen though only read it and I don’t think I’ve read the comics. Would not just be a nostalgia purchase but a nostalgia purchase of something I only somewhat liked. Guess I’ll pass since it’s a pricey $100 boxed set + shipping. Even $50 for PDF only is quite a bit.

Sleep 0615 to 1230 (6-1/4 hours)

• MacWhisper on an M4 Pro CPU doesn’t trigger fan and runs about 8x to 16x faster than on my Intel MBP. Handbrake triggers fan (but it does run 3x faster on this Mac).

Sleep 0615 to 1230 (6-1/4 hours)

• Copied some of my home tv shows to new MBP and when adding to TV app it still has meta-data, so I could just copy all the video files from one machine to the other and only lost some data (e.g. I’m guessing Play Count).

Sleep 0300 to 0730, 90m nap (6 hours)

• macOS: Docked applications that aren’t on startup disk show as ? in Dock I guess because remote volume doesn’t mount until after Dock is initialized. This also applies to Login Items.

Sleep 0400 to 1630 (10-1/2 hours)

• I did have my alarm wake me up at noon but then I was still tired and went back to sleep.
• C3 dinner. Leftovers.
• Csr, Cjr, and I played a game of Unlock! (a circus scenario). It's a puzzle game with cards where a lot of clues are numbers and you tend to add two numbers to get to the next card. The clues are rather clever. Sometimes it's hidden in the picture and sometimes you have to physically arrange the cards right.

Sleep 0315 to 0900 (5-3/4 hours)

• Drove to parents in the morning.
• Turkey dinner with parents, C3, Steph, and Jaime who is my nephew and studying here in the States.
• Dad mentioned we still have Peruvian and Chinese citizenship. Mom clarified that it’s Taiwan.

Sleep 0130 to 0700, 2-1/2 hours of napping (8 hours)

• DC Heroes RPG 40th Anniversary reprint KS. $695 for everything (though a few books are not in the reprint list). You also get slipcases to hold your collection and for sets of cool 2d10 dice. Add $90 for shipping. No PDFs. Since I already have everything in print and for the most part it’s a straight reprint there’s not much point for me. Contrast with Ars Magica Definitive Edition KS that I backed even though it’s essentially a reprint of a couple of books, a few changes, reformatted, and with new art. But it’s one volume that’ll look good on a bookcase.
