Pups are down for their afternoon nap. They seem to be adjusting pretty well. Sterling seems to be taking to the new arrivals alright so far too.
βοΈ FEB 07 2025 14:27
Battery on my Apple Watch (which was a hand-me-down) seems to be nearing the end of the road. Not making it through the workday anymore.
πΆ FEB 07 2025 13:47
Picked up the pups and the kids are now in the process of introducing them to their new home.

My m4 mini work computer lifestyle is going well, but I still forget my keyboard and trackpad at least once a week. Annoyed that today was one of those days.
πΎβ½οΈ FEB 06 2025 18:23
It turns out a lot of top SWOS 2020 players do play via keyboard so it's completely possible to play in that fashion. I'm going to have to investigate further.
β½οΈ FEB 06 2025 14:10
Spurs clearly a shell of themselves and playing on dead legs right now. Richarlison going down with another injury feels like the final nail in his Spurs career.
βοΈ FEB 06 2025 07:35
Winter is finally here in Spokane this week. Roads were not great this morning, if I didn't have a training session today I would have worked from home. Plowing has been nonexistent- probably because they haven't been called upon enough in the last year.

Got SWOS 2020 working a lot better on mac during my lunch break. Trick was to use the XP profile rather than Windows 10. Still need to test gamepad support.
πΎβ½οΈ FEB 05 2025 07:44
First crack at Sensible World of Soccer 2020 was partially successful last night. It ran, but no gamepad support, and the DLC list items were not displaying, although you could kind of select them. Trying some different Engine options today.

The new Fantastic Four teaser looks pretty awesome- I'd heard that it was going to be some kind of retro-alternate dimension implementation and it seems pretty great. The Ben Grimm/Thing portrayal looks rock solid (yes, pun intendedπ€·π»ββοΈ).
πΎβ½οΈ FEB 04 2025 14:18
Just realized Bang Average Football is also available on itch.io so that's how I'll be purchasing it when the time comes.
πΎβ½οΈFEB 04 2025 12:44
And of course Sensible Soccer has a vibrant mod community at sensiblesoccer.de with updated recent seasons, players, and teams rosters. This looks amazing!
FEB 04 2025 12:22
πΎβ½οΈ I'm also intrigued to try Sensible World of Soccer 96/97 which is an inspiration for Bang Average Soccer and only $1.50 on GOG right now.
πΎβ½οΈ FEB 04 2025 12:01
Bang Average Football looks like a super fun cross between Football Manager and Stardew Valley. Only $12 so I'll be picking it up sometime soon.

Getting some snow tonight and the cold snap is making sure it stays around.
β½οΈ FEB 03 2025 13:27
It took the whole window, but I'm pretty happy with the Spurs transfer business in the end. Kinsky, Kevin Danso, and Mathys Tel on a loan with option to buy is legitimate backing for Ange.

I like a lot of things about the Orion browser from Kagi, but disrupting full screen video on my second screen (particularly when it's a game or completely different browser app) when I make Orion active on my other screen is a deal breaker for me.
π FEB 02 2025 21:29
Got in a good 25-minute run with the girls this afternoon. First run past 4pm in months. It's nice to have longer days again.
π§ββ FEB 02 2025 17:51
Gold 4 attained with mono-white life gain. I should hit up Untapped.gg and see what the meta looks like today.
πΊ FEB 02 2025 15:08
The Recruit S2E2 ππ Owen's unique combination of charm and trouble magnetism is incredibly entertaining. What a show.
πΊ FEB 02 2025 14:02
The Recruit S2E1 ππ Great opening episode to the second season of a Netflix show that I'd almost forgotten how much I'd enjoyed. Kind of curious how much of Owen's Korean backstory was referenced in the first season and loving how he just keeps getting further entangled into trouble.
πΆ FEB 02 2025 12:57
Had a very fun, but dirty visit with the last 5 pups today. We'll pick up our two on Friday.
β½οΈ FEB 02 2025 07:54
Djed Spence with another excellent game on the left. Injuries have been a factor but he's outplayed Udogie in the position this season.
β½οΈ FEB 02 2025 07:49
Sarr gets Spurs to 2 - 0 with a brilliant run from deep at the 87' mark.
β½οΈ FEB 02 2025 06:32
Son gives Spurs a 1 - 0 lead at Brentford thanks to his corner that deflects off the back of a defender and into the back of the net.
πΏ FEB 01 2025 17:53
Just realized that The Royal Tenenbaums is almost 25-years-old. I know he says he's retired from acting, but I wonder if Wil Wheaton would consider it if Wes Anderson ever had a role for him?
