Nature is amazing. The seed spiral on this coneflower is perfect.

Good planting day. The local nursery is now stocking more native plants. We planted a spicebush, cranberry viburnum, heuchera, columbine, and sedge. My favorite is the viburnum.

Grilling day. Pork chops, veggies and garlic scapes.

We moved into a brand new house 2 years ago. We have been busy planting and are now seeing a lot more wildlife. Today we noticed plenty of lady bug snacking on aphids.

Great video on native plants! I learned a lot. www.youtube.com/live/-51ufQF...

I have had a nasty cold this week, but the garden kept on calling me. I am not sure if working outside made it worse or better, but it was great to be out there with my wife.

Back playing Elder Scrolls Online. Started the Greymoor dlc. I am slowly getting through all the games I have wanted to play and ESO is a fun game.

It was a great hiking weekend. Fresh air and beautiful scenery. Life is good.

I love gardening. So much enjoyable healthy exercise.

Meijer gardens are always spectacular, even more so with the Chihuly exhibition.

Crimson Desert is one of those memorable games. It's a game people will be talking about years from now. Personally I absolutely love it. It's not for everyone but it's for me.

I finally finished Witcher 3. Amazing game. Now it's time for Crimson Desert.

Happy arbor day 🌲🌳🌲. This year I planted 15 bushes and 5 trees in our new garden. Looking forward to watching them grow for everyone to enjoy. I bought them from arborday.org

Soulmask 1.0 released today and it wasn't on my radar until last week 😲. Downloading now ...

My first computer was the Commodore 64. It did not have ray tracing. However, it did have accelerated 2D graphics called sprites. It was cool back then.

I am rewatching For All Mankind. It's a great show. I am enjoying the second viewing more than the first.

Over 40 years of gaming 🎉 Looking forward to another 40 👴

The latest update to Satisfactory is really good👍 Vehicle patching is actually enjoyable and easy to use now. I am going to have lots of trucks running everywhere. The rain and wind make the game even more immersive

Rain is back in Satisfactory! Plus other cool stuff. I think I might have to randomize and increase difficulty. youtu.be/HdVTLGD4bbA?...

Finished Frank Herbert's Dune book. Great book. Next up Neuromancer!

I have a bad habit of not finishing games. Bright shiny new games problem or getting too deep into side quests and crafting. I am going to finish Witcher 3!!! No Gwent, I don't need to do all the side quests, just follow the story. Wish me luck.

Exciting new features for Satisfactory game!!! Belt counters 👍 vertical splitters 😲 and elevators 👀 youtu.be/ZAVsREdz2A0?...

That Oval Office debacle today solidified two things: 1. The US is not a trusted ally 2. Zelensky is a hero

I have been fortunate to work with great people around the world including several colleagues in Kyiv. Their strength, courage, work ethic and compassion was on display every day. No one complained and they always excelled in their job. I don't know how they did it. Slava Ukraini

I am playing Timberborn for the first time in a while. Perfect game for a relaxing Sunday. I hope everyone's day is a good one.

So many great video games to play! The amazing games I have been playing: Satisfactory Foundation Return to Moria City Skylines 2 (its great now) Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 Bloodborne Just as well I am retired 😀

Happy Friday everyone. I am going to play City Skylines 2, it has improved a lot since launch, and some Cyberpunk.

30 million! 🎉 Bluesky

Planet Crafter has a lot more depth than I realized. I am now working on a logistics system and revisiting crash sites to get parts I need. The planet now has trees, plants and insects.

Planet Crafter is a great game. I am hooked. I played it during early access and it showed potential. The release version is just a great gaming experience.

I have started playing Planet Crafter. It's a fun chill game. One of the many games I bought and played in early access.

I am going to take my time in this play through and create more blueprints. This is the control room blueprint I can reuse and modify to suit the factory style. It has a priority switch, light control panel, and production stats mod to display input and output of the factory.

First time playing Satisfactory game using mods. I waited until I had completed the 1.0 version first without mods. The curve mod is awesome for the long winding train tracks.

I love to cook but I have never baked before. My first attempt at cookies using an old family recipe. Just not my family. Some family called Ghirardelli.

Good morning. A beautiful and interesting sunrise today. A beam of light shining upwards.

I started playing American Truck Simulator again. Arkansas DLC is good. It captures the essence of rural America.

I hope everyone has a great 2025!

Happy Christmas eve everyone🎄⛄🎁 Today is Elf, Christmas Vacation and Polar Express.

I completed Satisfactory. Great ending. Not much of a story but good enough. I am now going to start from the beginning again. I think it will be my 10th playthrough with my 10th strategy.

Satisfactory phase 5 slowly coming together. Watching Friends rerun is reducing my productivity :) No hurry, just saving humanity.

I love video games. There are so many amazing games. This post from @rosstweetsgames.bsky.social has inspired me to post about all the games I have loved from the early days of my gaming life until now. Starting with Midi Maze. It was a 1987 LAN part on Atari ST. All nighter playing this game.

FICMAS is here! This year they added snow blowers. Just waiting on the wonder stars to finish the tree. #satisfactory.

Friday night viewing with a whisky.

Behold the Quantum Encoder. The recipe requires Excited Photonic Matter. All I need to do is find some photonic matter and find out what excites it. #satisfactory #videogames

So many other games I want to play at the moment. These are my top choices. #wow #MedievalDynasty #PlanetCoaster #Enshrouded #Cyberpunk #ManorLords

Happy Friday. Time to play more Satisfactory. Power grid capacity has been increased. Now using rocket fuel 🚀Hopefully it will be enough to complete the game. #satisfactory #videogames

I am now in the last phase in #satisfactory. An amazing game. As soon as I finish the last phase I am going to start all over again.
