Was playing Devil's Crush on the airplane while flying back. I had one of my best games ever. Glad I figured out the screenshot function on the 3DS!

The website has been slightly updated. Turns out the design that looked good on paper did not look good on the screen. So I changed it, simpled it up, and now it's...better?

Restarting The Great Restart

Crystal to the rescue!

"If you can't make your own, store bought is fine."

You know, as a 80s and 90s comic person, and a Robotech fan, I've never read the Eternity/Academy Robotech II: The Sentinels comic beyond the first few comics. I walked away from the comics world around that time.

I really should. Apparently it went off script later in the series. I do know a weekly outline was done, but were all 85 scripts? I've seen a few sources saying all 85 scripts were written, but given that the comics and novels appear to go their own way about two thirds into the story, I've wondered about that.

Much like this last year, my pan de muerto is a disaster. Back to my old recipe next year.

Feeling rather apt these days....

Favorite Star Trek: The Original Series episode?

I felt like watching TOS, and put on one of my fave episodes, The Immunity Syndrome.

It's a very good sci-fi episode, where the characters are faced with something so perplexing they don't know how to handle it, and have to learn and understand their way through the first half of the show.

Once they figure it out, it goes from Sci-Fi to character drama as they need to figure out who is best to deal with the problem and the reactions to possibly losing that person. And finally a last ditch fix that could legitimately end with the deaths of everyone while attempting to save the universe.

The effects are also pretty good for 1968.

It's a really great episode among great episodes, and for me, the one that stands out when I think of TOS.

We now return you to Jenn's regular shitposting.

Spent the day playing catchup and getting things ready for the rest of the week. Tomorrow (10/31) is my "New Year's Eve." Hoping to have a nice clean start to my new year. Might sage the house for the new year.

Making Pan de Muerto for the first time since Marisa passed away, mostly because Max Miller's recipe got me thinking about it again. Dough is not cooperating, but dough rarely does. It's rising in the fridge now. Hoping it'll come out okay.

Thinking Big Thoughts about the new year. Particularly the next few days.
