Plot is similar to The Beekeeper, if Jason Statham hasn’t been around to help.

Might go to a bar crawl. Finishing Ticket to Ride: Legacy. Watching the new Bad Boys movie (I’ve never actually watched the previous ones). Then I might see Vampire Weekend if I can still get a decent ticket.

I’ve seen the Charlton Heston one, and the 2001 Mark Wahlberg one. The original was obviously better. I hadn’t seen any of the current cycle until I saw Kingdom last weekend. It was fine.

I listened to a recap of the previous 3 films and it didn’t matter. Kingdom takes place “many generations” after the third movie so all the other characters are dead. Kingdom’s story works fine as a standalone film. It’s not amazing, but there’s nothing particularly awful about it. Now I’ll probably see the next couple, but they’re not high on my list.

Heist has a story and preset levels. Each level is usually a different ship you have to board and clear. They’re all connected by a sort of star map. The objectives for each level are preset. Though, the level layouts may be generated. I’ve rerun a couple and I remember the layouts being a bit different.

SteamWorld Dig 1&2 are platformers. I really enjoyed them. The gameplay for Heist is different but it still feels like the same quality.

I am also a fan of the Unleash The Archers cover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRD3vrSLPaw

I store mine in a plastic container with an air tight seal. I prefer to use fresh grounds, but my grinder seems more consistent with higher volume. I usually grind 2-3 brews worth at time.

Steam World: Heist. Tactical turn based shooter. Somewhere between Worms and X-Com, definitely on the lighter side. It’s the same vibe as Steam World 1 and 2, but now the cowboy robots are in space. It’s perfect for the Deck and easy to pick up for a few minutes at lunch or in between meetings.

It’s both. In episode 1 someone asks the cowboy actor to “do the thumbs up”. Later, the actor explains the mushroom safety part to his daughter. In episode 3 there is another flashback where the cowboy actor does a photoshoot for Vault-Tec. He asks the photographer “what if I try a thumbs up?”

A medium roast from Costa Rica. I’m using my small Chemex and I’m still dialing in the grind size. It’s brewing faster than a few weeks ago so I went finer. It’s at about a 3 minute brew, but still has a light mix of sour and bitterness.

I’m behind on using my subscription coffee so I started a batch of cold brew last night with the last 75 grams. Hopefully it turns out well.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. It felt like mostly nothing happened for 2 hours. There was some decent dialogue and a lot of references to 1950s and 60s Hollywood. There is some build up, but not much payoff until the last 20 minutes. Then everything goes off and you are reminded that this is a Tarantino film.

That’s the point, right? At best this will shut down some poorly written legislation. If it doesn’t, and the law gets changed to be explicitly Christian, then at least it’s out in the open and no one can claim it’s about protecting ALL religions.

I have a similar experience when I’m sick. I usually feel more calm and it seems easier to cook or read.

That’s just a French Press in denial.

Remnant 2. I watched Iron Pineapple’s review back when it released and got excited. It went on sale a couple weeks ago and I convinced several friends to get it. It’s been great. I’m just getting to the point where I can play around with different builds. The set pieces look great and the writing and lore has surprising depth, especially for a co-op shooter.

Mostly Inkbound. 2 friends suggested it on the same day a couple weeks ago so I gave it a shot. It kind of feels like turn based Hades. There’s enough RNG to keep things interesting, and enough choice to let you explore different builds.

Also playing KeyWe with my girlfriend. It’s a series of mini games where you play as kiwi birds in a post office. Some of the tasks can feel tedious and the mechanics could use some polish, but overall it’s a good co-op game with cute animals and outfits.

Less programming, more file templates. I did more scripting as Desktop Support than I do as a DevOps engineer. Most of the automation is handled by existing software. The main job is figuring out how to install software in an environment, then making templates that can replicate the install with different parameters and minimal effort.
